Poll: Imperial Rheinland

[Querious]

If you're putting in a full Rheinland Empire, please expand the strength of the opposing factions as well.

Hessians/Coalition definitely needs to get more territory than Dresden and a small base in Stuttgart. Cologne and Omega-7 seem like the most obvious targets.

Bundschuh could be expanded with republic sympathizers, like imperial deserters. The easiest target for them would be Munich.

Unioners have a good chance of aligning with the Rheinland Imperials, but if that doesn't work out, they could possibly aim for control of Thuringia, should its defenses weaken.

Corsairs have a decent shot at both Munich and Dresden. However, if I were a Corsair Admiral, I would try playing the long game, and wait for the opposing Rheinland factions to wear each other out, while also connecting the bases I already have through new supply routes. Besides, they are the least liked group of unlawfuls in Rheinland.

Thing is Unioners are already aligning themselves with Rheinland lawfuls. Between the [RM] and UN|, that is.

Well, if that's the case, I doubt the Unioner/Corsair alliance will ever come back. Republican Shipping had better watch out if the Unioners become a facet of the new empire. Arbeiter/Slepnir swarms incoming!

Every Corsair is el Almirante for him selfos, but we have Elders instead, senor. They are mucho busy having siesta right now, but later they will gladly consider your fine suggestion to do nothing, while others wear and tear

Besides, they are the least liked group of unlawfuls in Rheinland.

No, senor. Our mothers like us mucho grande... when they can find us under all that hair of ours.

initial freelancer concept arts of rheinland were very much influenced by ww1 imperial germany

That's the aesthetic plan. Our constitution contains some quotes from the original German constitution as laid out by Bismark.

Wait and see, but this is happening, just not in the format that you'd necessarily expect. The Imperial transformation will not be smooth and the Republic will not just go gently into that good night. Nor will the Hessians stand aside.

UN will basically be Rheinland Privateers at this point.

It'll be an interesting transformation from picking on the corporations to picking on all other corporations to big up the wealthfare of Rheinland employees. The Unioners may end up somewhere slightly more criminal than the Unione Corse. It's going to be a funny journey towards the Unioners getting what their aspirational aims are: employment. Or will they?

Imperial RP is alive for *YEARS* (Tabris started it long ago)

Oh? Thought it was Steiner's brainchild. In this case I'm 100% for reestablishing the Rheinland Empire, in honour and memory of good Tabris.

Yep. Tabris and me started it about four years ago, although the root of the idea was Tabris's - I just kept it going and organized.

Tabris eventually left because of RL and I carried it on with his consent. Over time other people were introduced; Ardan was part of it for a time, the heads of Kruger were involved for a long while, too, and I started to integrate it with what I was doing with UN after I became the Unioner lead about three and a half years ago, with the consent of the former faction leader who wanted to start down that path themselves, and I carried it on as a way of making the Unioners a bit more distinct from the Hessians and Bundschuh in their economic views.

Over time it bled through to other people as I tried to keep the fire burning. RM wanted to get onboard, and started taking interest just before the war with the GMG. DHC got onboard a while after, and Republican became interested too, due to wanting to explore the 'Imperial Shipping' component of the faction's history. In the end it bled over into a massive multi-party RP that took on a life of its own; and now exists relatively autonomously from me or Tabris with a huge number of characters and factions involved.

Now that it's reached the story developers, well. Good job there, Tabris. Players can define the mod story in major, unexpected ways.

In regards to an Imperial Rheinland, I stand by this.

The only thing I'd suggest if this does go through is to separate each lawful Rheinland ID into two, one for either side:
Federal RFP, RM and MND
Imperial RFP, RM and MND
This way, both side's representations of the factions can be shown, and folk who want to RP a particular faction don't have to jump through 15 hoops just to get it underway.
It also makes a decent amount of sense.

Implement it properly, and more fighting in Disco that doesn't feel like it's a boring fanfiction will do the mod some good.

eh no. it's just splitting the playerbase in half for the sake of it. not to mention i hardly imagine this working lorewise. this implying 2 parallel governments working at the same time at least. and i hardly see the realistic purpose behind it.

I really hate having to be rude like this but I feel I have to be brutally honest in saying what I'm about to say.

This story development, much like the Sigma war would be viewed as forced and do nothing but serve to appease a literal alt-right clique in the community that has taken to encouraging either bad behaviour or logging off. It's worse yet that the leadership of the faction I'm talking about not only encourages this behaviour but sees it as entirely justified and that their actions are exemplary.

If the staff wants to see actual tangible toxicity, look no further than the leadership of every Rheinland lawful faction, obviously excluding the BDM. You justifiably cracked down on my behaviour, don't slacken the disciplinary precedent now just because it's convenient. Don't even consider doing this, it's not going to go anywhere worthwhile, if anything it'll go down an eerily familiar route that we've all been educated about in our history classes.

Really... well you are very wrong.. I have never ever logged off due to anyone doing anthing, when I am on. And oh my I am the lead for Kruger.. Maybe you shuld talk about shit you know about and not jus group folks togeter with yer snarky bullshit .. even when killed , I wait and log bak where i can and keep on doing my thing.. I log off for no bullies or anyone.. maybe address the people you mean instead of hiding behind bold sweeping judgements .. Toxicity .. not from me, however you are doing just that in this silly untrue statement, that I personally find insulting. We have never interacted even.. You say I should step down when yu know not a thing about y gameplay or anything.. wow.. just wow.. If yah got aproblem with Kruger, then talk to me...not the trees..

[kerfy]

throw out the current ppl in charge of the rheinland factions first otherwise whatever you do will be about as fun as having a stillborn child

otherwise ya sure lets go team

Do you know me ?? I am Kruger lead.. what reason could you have for me stepping down ? You are talking on something you seem to have no idea about.. I have been working hard to keep faction alive and putting it bak together as far as assetts and such goes.. but you would know nothing about that now would you.. I mostly play IN game, not on the forums.. sorry for that, I am trying .. Perhaps you would be happy if I just stopped playing this game.. Yah seem to want to drive players away. Players like me who are just having fun playing a game...
