Closing down Workers Front

[Juan_Arquero]

Kress: I'm sorry to hear that you're planning to shut down the Workers Front. [translation from grammar Nazi]Virus probably meant to say that you should find somebody you trust to take over the leadership of the Workers Front.[/translation from grammar Nazi]

Kress, I'm sorry to see the group go. Also doesnt bode well for others of us trying to work on small faction groups. I think the AFA is dead at this point too, and I dont know if I'm on in a diffrent time zone or what, but I rarely see Black Dragons online anymore. I'm starting to RP with the NLH'ers, because I dont want to give up my Ze'ev Barak Char. I was talking with Equinox the other day and we were both lamenting the fact that it's so hard to get a small faction group up and running, but some of the best oppurtunities for good rp are in the small factions. It is hard, and frustrating, especally when you see that there are what 4 outcast factions, 3 or 4 Corsair factions, 2 liberty navy and 1 liberty police faction. The problem is that it's very easy to generate intrest in a poorly RP'ed major faction, and very hard to generate intrest in well RP'ed small factions. I feel like some of the hard core RP's should put their heads together and get a really solid, well RP'ed small faction to show people how it's done. Some of us have tried it individualy or in pairs, but I think the brain trust of disco could do it really well.

Anyway back to the topic at hand, sorry to you the Unioners go:(

Zelot: I agree with you. If you see me in-game in a civilian character, PM me and I can switch to my Black Dragons account. I rarely play my Black Dragons characters, as I prefer to have a partner with me due to the large number of enemies that Hogosha characters attract.

As for why you rarely see Black Dragons in-game, I can tell you that the three Black Dragons players (pipboy, chopper and Evil_Joker) who outrank me have had RL problems over the last couple months, so that has substantially reduced or eliminated their time for Freelancer. At the same time, my workload as a taxi driver increased to 80+ hours per week. Only recently has that slowed down, so that I could get back to playing some Freelancer.

Anyway, I'll do what I can to keep the Black Dragons going and I can help you with the AFA whenever we're in-game at the same time. Due to my work as a taxi driver, my hours vary a lot, so I don't maintain the type of schedule that most people in the Eastern USA do.
