The LWB and AU are merging!

[farmerman]

With further discussions, this is how we're thinking. For most characters, very little will change. In the LWB, for instance, we already had a good variety of character views on things (eg we had one that specifically disliked Republican before, and one who thought they did good work for Rheinland). In this end, this will be little different, only expanded more.

RP-wise, many are against any such moves, but many are willing to see how it will go. The basis is in a regime change of sorts among the LWB, with the current AU leadership feeling it's a good move. I'm told they wouldn't mind if another group popped up and were willing to discuss various Unionery things with them.

We're going to experiment for a month or two, length depending on how things are changing Disco-wise, with the plan and after figure if we should merge even further, keep it the same, or dissolve the union.

I met with LWBs sometimes but in the last half year I always met those who fly with Arbeiter and use hessian guns.

Really? Because I've only seen one LWB Arbeiter in that time period, and I don't think I've ever seen an LWB using Hessian guns, other than an experimentation of mine in 4.84.

Q. What about independent players playing these factions?

It should have no effect on them. But then, there's only ever been a handfull of indie LWBs.

-The organization should split into 2 subgroups or squadrons comprising of members of the two earlier factions and each one would take care of one goal. It could be more loosely organized(indicating incomplete integration) with separate tags for the two different squadrons.

That's a good thought. Several squads each with a specific goal would allow for multiple subgroups while each could keep their purpose and a third could have an integrated goal.

I dislike this idea on personal grounds. But factions must evolve. One of my logistic concerns is... is it possible for one faction to have two separate IDs like that? Unioner and LWB? I thought official factions were regulated to one.

We were told we were ok with two, at least for the time being. Depending on how things evolve, we'll figure out specifics.

I give it a thumbs up. Maybe you would even allow little ol' me to join.

Feel free to apply to one or the other, I'm not sure how we're working it at present. It's all the same skype chat now anyway, we can sort specifics there. :)

Can we name it Kraftwerk?

That's not nearly long enough for a Rheinland group's name!
