With regards to Outcast not having any alliance with Mollys, that's not my point. Its more to the problem of an unlawful having an alliance with a lawful. The primary players in Bretonia should be Bretonians (specifically BAF, BPI, Mollys, Gaians and such). But what I tend to see in Dublin and other parts of Bretonia are SCRA, Indians, Reapers, GC, Outcast, Corsair and pretty much everyone except Mollys. And the Mollys that I do see are factionized. I'm curious how the BAF treats Outcast in Dublin knowing that Outcast and IMG are bitter enemies.
Its fine that official factions have political relations outside the vanilla. But don't go telling those of us that wanna play vanilla Mollys that we're wrong and that we cannot play in Dublin or any other part of Bretonia because we're not up to speed on all the "official" faction politics. I don't care about the intricate details of who the "official" Mollys can and cannot pirate because of their truce with the "official" BAF. I don't care if some "official" faction has declared war against another "official" faction. I'm not part of the "official" faction so the war has nothing to do with me.
The "official" factions need to be able to switch gears when they move from "official" faction politics and indies. I shouldn't be forced into your non-vanilla politics. The "official" factions are supposed to "set the example" for role play. They should not be the server bullies, telling non-faction members that they need to go back to the rock they came out from under until they've become familiar with the forum details of every official faction in existence. I don't have that kind of time.
