The ICMG, and our current activity levels

[Petitioner]

I've been getting a lot of questions about the ICMG recently.

Why aren't we around much anymore?
Is the faction dead?
Who's leading us?

These and many more are all difficult questions to answer, but I feel these three are some of the most important questions that have been asked, especially because there is confusion about these things within our own ranks.

Before I continue, please know that this is simply how I view things - I could be wrong on some of this, and this is just what seems to be true to myself, based on talking to members of the ICMG.


As for why we aren't around anymore, I'd say the main reason is just that the Outcasts and Corsairs made it kind of unplayable for us. Everyone already knows that there's absolutely no ingame RP in the Taus, but this isn't a Q_Q thread about that, because that's never going to change, ever.
The Corsairs were rarely around, when we were in the Omegas, but the few times they were, they ganked the living hell out of us. It was all indies, 99% of the time. So don't worry, 'sair OFs, we love you for giving us good RP when you were around.:ylove:


Is the faction dead? No, we are not dead. At least, I hope not. ICMG has gone through this phase of "sleeping" three times now, but this is the longest one so far. What subplots we tried to come up with to hold us over until 4.86 fell through fairly quickly, as they weren't things that EVERYONE could participate in. We were unable to advance the main plotline we had planned out for our group until 4.86 came out, and everyone was really excited about it - too excited, unfortunately. All we were doing was mining and getting ganked. There wasn't much RP in it anymore because mining areas are also the lowest RP areas in Disco. However, it is my hope (and, I should think, the hope of everyone else related to the ICMG, as well,) that when 4.86 comes out, we might return to our original glory.


Who's leading us? Well, this is somewhat of a moot question as, at the moment, there isn't really an "us," though Lobby/Anne officially passed the mantle on to me a while back, though that was long after this phase of inactivity started. So I guess that'd be me, though, as I said, it doesn't matter much at present.



For anyone who cared at all, I hope this cleared things up. If you have any more questions, you can ask them here or talk to me on Skype. But I never check my PMs, despite my OCD about things not being perfect, so don't bother trying to talk to me that way. I hope we'll be able to return soon, and may the good times roll.:yu:
