How a player faction excludes a characteristic of the NPC faction

[Zelot]

This thread is useless, we are all people of imagination (probably the reason we play this game) and we can all come up with this scenario and that to support what we think should happen. Dab thinks Samura wouldn't be able to ship much food to Crete, he suggests the OC, GC, and Dragons would attack the supply lines, maybe they would maybe they wouldn't. Ashes and Dab say the Kusari government would be vilified for allowing humanitarian shipments to Crete, I mean they are pirates right? Bowex shipped to Malta, the Outcasts and BAF had their relations, the sky didnt fall. WARNING RL EXAMPLE: Europe and the United States give significant amounts of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip, run by Hamas, a terrorist group, yet for some reason, the US and Europe are not attacked for supporting terrorists in Gaza, nor are they held accountable for Hamas's actions.



All of this is to say that they whole thing is too subjective. Dab you can make good arguments as to why you think things would progress in a particular manner, and I can make good arguments to the opposite effect, it doesn't make you right and me wrong or me right and you wrong. It's all very subjective. This is the problem with having faction able to control the development of their own rp direction, but this is the system we have, and to, on one hand tell factions that they have a say in their development, while on the other hand telling them they cant make any significant changes to their faction rp, doesn't make even a little bit of sense, but until the system is changes, that is what we are left with, and as long as that is what we are left with, the Corsairs will play the game just like every other faction in the game. The mollies wanted peace with the Bretonians, that was the mollies fatal flaw, they were allowed to remove it. The Liberty Rogues were overly dependent on the Outcasts for support and Cardi, that was their fatal flaw, gone now. The GC were dependent on the OC and BD for supplies and support, not any longer. The Corsairs are by no means the first to attempt to change their factions rp and minimize their fatal flaw, and I am sure they will not be the last, but as long as this is the system we have to work with, people shouldn't vilify the Corsairs for doing something many many other factions have done.
