Re: rheinland is unlawful faction graveyard

"It's their fault/not our fault"

Who is they? Vrabcek is the only guy I know who still plays a Bundie. Is it his fault he's not a 5 man 30hr faction? This is a community, more or less, and I'd say playerwise it's everyone's fault. Except for Vrabcek.
I agree w/mwerte that I'd like to see all the vanilla factions taken before we start making new ones, but I get that that's a personal thing.
And I get that the bundschuh and lwb are hard factions to play, and rr very easy. It's not rr sucking the life out of lwb/bundschuh though, it's the red hessians, and it's not their fault. I don't know unioner biz but I'm assuming this irl years-long rheinb embargo hasn't been truly baller for them.
Talking of hard to play/easy to play, I think there's a knee-jerk reaction (that I can sympathise with) that sees a faction that pirates and takes bounties and uses what ships it wants and what guns it wants as 'lesser' somehow. Although I've got no issue w/your set up, I'd guess that the group is made up of guys who only really play RR, if you get what I mean? Has that vibe of being a group of players rather than a group of characters.

This is getting pretty rambly sorry. If I make one suggestion for the good of those dead and dying rheinland unlawfuls, I'd say don't be their friend. Hessians not so much, but lwb/bundschuh have been played as very patriotic since the dawn of time afaik, and when I see elwubs showing up in your "pals" section the part of me that plays lwb says ":/". Just a couple of days ago we were trying to shoo non-rheinland pirates out of rheinland. I don't get why we'd be pals, essentially. You might be corsair-killing omega pals with the hessians and idk what unioners are all about but it doesn't sit right with the other two imo. And from gameplay perspective, it works nicer. The other reason rheinland unlawfuls struggle is that they're all friends. If we're enemies, seeing you guys up in Rheinland gives me another reason to log on.
