' Wrote:GC Are extremists. They're engaged in an incredibly extreme struggle for equal rights, and they are terrorists. You don't defend people by committing piracy, nor by spreading an addictive drug. Oh, and the Maltese aren't nice people, Cardamine fields can be described as 'razorgrass,' and I highly doubt a wealthy Maltese Plantation owner would marry a GC. The Maltese consider themselves far better than mere humans.
A few notes on this paragraph specifically. (I'm not in [GC], but I lead another GC faction, and thus this is relevant to us as well.)
First; The GC supply themselves through piracy. They get goods from it, and money to buy even more goods from Interspace and the Outcasts. Every other terrorist faction commits piracy, including the Xenos. It's a necessary evil that they must perform so that their cause can continue to exist. Without money and supplies, no terrorist group can continue to operate. Also, they spread Cardamine for money as well, and to gain more recruits from the female population of Kusari. Those that don't join the GC are still dependent on them to get more Cardamine, which they now require to continue living. Spreading Cardamine has several benefits to the GC, not to mention the fact that it is part of their tradition.
Not to mention the fact that piracy harms Kusari's economy, making the GC's goals that much easier to accomplish. Destroying a nation's economy is a stepping stone to revolution. One that is necessary and can't be neglected.
Also, the Maltans, in your opinion, aren't nice people. But that's just your opinion, and not fact in any way or form.. I have Outcast characters. None of them are evil. I have GC characters, none of them are evil either. Both factions do what they must. While Outcasts consider themselves superior to other humans because of the Cardamine, that doesn't mean they hate them or are mean to them because of it. Furthermore, the GC are all fully addicted to Cardamine. This puts them on an almost-equal level with the Outcasts. The Outcasts 'look down' less on GC than any other faction. To say they 'aren't nice people' is ludicrous and doesn't have any basis in lore or RP in vanilla or Disco.
On the assumption that a wealthy plantation owner wouldn't marry a GC, that really is the choice of that Maltan. There would be several reasons for it, among them the fact that, while GC use Cardamine, most are not the descendents of a line of ancestors that also used it. That means these women have a higher fertility rate than Maltese women. That's just the practicality side, not straying into the fact that love is love, and it doesn't have to adhere to what you decide it to be. If a Maltan were to meet a GC and fall in love with her, what's to stop him? Unlike the Corsairs, the Outcasts have no family marriage restrictions stating they must marry within the Outcasts. They can do whatever they wish to do. Due to the close relations between the GC and OC, something like this happening is rare, but not impossible or unthinkable.
On the other points you raised; That mean are evil, lazy, abusive people is a stereotype that is very common within the GC (lore-wise). If a GC player wants to RP a legitimate part of GC lore, they have every right to. Not ever GC feels this way, lore-wise and player-wise. But those who do aren't uncommon. Think about the atmosphere they live in, and most likely grew up in. Kusari men are the 'enemy'.
If you're going to give a faction feedback, please get the facts you're presenting straight before posting them, and try not to tell a faction not to RP their NPC faction's RP..
