Well, I can't answer your question just yet. Why, because i don't know myself. Note that in RP, this is a company that just started, it isn't based on an NPC faction, it has no history other than what i wrote above.
Unlike most factions we have here on GC, I don't want to make all decisions before anything happened online. I can't say where the faction stands between Samura and Kishiro as it hasn't found itself in a position where it can make up its mind.
Also, concerning the Farmers alliance and the hogosha, I can't really say how we stand towards them, as we haven't had any conflict with them.
The whole point of me making the HFC is to see how feasible to run a faction without set RP, without cannon so to speak, other than what is written above. Its a new starting company that is trying to climb up the ladder. Unlike its competition it just doesn't have the funding and connections needed to become great. All of that will have to come in time. With both forum and server RP. If this eventually leads to a total failure and this faction doesn't survive the test of time, than it would still be an RP success in my eyes, as the course it took completely followed its own flow sort of speak.
I don't know if I am making much sense, but its hard for me to explain in English since it isn't my native language, so please bear with me, and feel free to ask any more questions feel free to ask.
