How do I join Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army

[Marburg]

It's just one of those things where just because a person wants something, it doesn't mean that that's anywhere near good enough to get it. the way I've always understood it, you have to jump through the hoops they provide in order to have anything to do with getting on their 'good side' so to speak

they do pretty well spelling out what they expect.

1. Care to explain how the "bunch of fiction" that "some yahoo" could write would differ from what you do? What is the problem, after all? Did you come first and claim that realm of RP with a nice flashy flag? What we all do, not just the "yahoos", is write a "bunch of fiction". I am proud to say I write fiction. Does it make me a yahoo?

Sure, be glad to. As a matter of fact, yes, the flag has been planted. Aeon (previous), and now Koolmo (current) had an idea way back before of a Coalition surviving and becoming a part of Sirius, and Disco. And they created the faction, wrote and RP'd the history (and there's a LOT of history on this server), and built the faction to the storied heights it is now.

Yes, you are a yahoo who writes fiction...so am I. The "problem" is people writing and RPing things with a Coalition tag that are against the ideals of the faction for which it was created. A basic tenant of SCRA code is that we do NOT shoot civilians (traders) unless they're hauling cardi or slaves. What happens when some yahoo writes a bunch of fiction, gets his Coalition tag by some miracle, and starts blowing up a bunch of transports in Kusari? We would get blamed for it, that's what.

There have been many attempts in the past for Coalition indies, and each time we've tried to block the SRP because of something like this. It's supposed to be a SMALL insurgency gaining allies and footholds in the Houses, not some sprawling organization that has people everywhere.

2. I have no desire to get in the Coalition, nor get a visa, nor pursue a solo Coalition adventure.

OK.

3. Who even mentioned OPs? To be honest, the Coalition ships are quite low on that scale. Well, compared to the Nomad/Phantoms at least.

OP to me is Original poster. The gent who posted about our ships is an idiot, don't pay attention to him.

PS, way to +1.

4. The SCRA may not be a part of Vanilla, but it is a part of Discovery. If you RP a NATION, you can not just shut the doors to anyone trying to do anything beyond what you do. If you are trying to do so , you should indeed be called a prick.

Sure we can. That's a huge part of the RP of the SCRA, and Coalition. If you're going against the state, which in this case is the military, you're going to get hauled away in the night and never heard from again. Shutting the door on those going beyond what is OK'd by the State is exactly what we should be doing.

I am a prick. And so is the government of the Coalition to those going against the regime. I don't see how that's hard to figure out.

btw AJ, take this to the feedback if you want to crusade some more. Original Poster's question has been answered.

Discovery is first come first serve. It's been said time and time again by those factions who are exclusive.
The Keepers and the SCRA took up the mantle of their NPC faction and don't want to see it degrade into the generic 'Oh look an idiotic indie blowing everyone up..with our tag' that so many other NPC factions have.

Can't blame em really, makes sure the roleplay of the faction is kept tight and intact.

Andddd yes, it has something to do with power too. Allowing independents would mean losing some power over the NPC faction's roleplay. Look at the Order if you want an example. While the Order| stay true to their original ideals, there are several independents or other groups that do not follow their lead.
Having total control over the faction allows for both more immersion and generally a higher grade of roleplay.


However it does have drawbacks, such as people being denied the chance to do things their way.
Them's the breaks you make though.


All in all, to answer the topic question.
You have to join the SCRA to be part of the Coalition.
I don't think the Coalition reputation is linked to any others so I'm not sure if you can even obtain it without SCRA membership.
If you can then well done. I'd suggest getting rid of it asap before a big hammer with the word 'Omonomnom/Sanction' comes at ya.


On another note, donate to Children in Need. Why? Why the hell not?

No need to "pollute" this thread any further. Take it there, as I have.

Just a quick poke before that, though. If that model of full control over the NPC faction works so well for the immersion and RP, why not allow every other official faction to do the same? Think about that.

In SCRA, faction chooses you!

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Xelgion, you have done a marvelous thing. Eppy is begging for mercy, in full caps.

Meh, Omega 52 is as Porous as a tea strainer, I mean, I got a startracker through the Typhoons.
TBH, Coalition is held to a higher standard than most ohers, and hence, they restrict their RP.
No Issues with that either.

That's actually a pretty good idea.
