Why Thank you. I do think the Black Dragon and Nova's do a good job as well.

Dead on.

Quote:The reason I've never made a Kusari character is because of all the Konichiwa's and -san's. Reminds me way too much of a bad anime convention where the people all live on green tea and stale Pocky.
Agreed. There's gotta be something wrong with that. Unless they hold every passerby (including foreigners apparently) with the utmost respect.

Oh, shoot, am I doing it wrong? I'm the most pompous, derogatory character on this server, I would say...
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
Well what do you know, here I am loooking at joining some obscure, neglected faction and this here thread pops up. Since I've not once seen a KSP on the server I say why not give this a shot? But you might wanna let the actual KSP faction know about it and get their response, lest they come out of the woodwork and decide to deal with you in a wholly serious and unfunny manner...Anyway, where do I sign up?

I beg to differ.
"GTFO our lands, you filthy Gaijin" hardly reeks of respect. On the other hand though, come back twenty minutes later and they'll call you -san. -San is an honorary title, you don't just hand it out to every random person you see, unless its say, a possible formal relationship. Like a business owner meeting a potential client or another CEO.
That should be the only reason they throw -san up out their dewlaps.
' Wrote:lulz. Kusari is a "semblant de serieux" as we'd say in french. I don't have better word in english.
It's all cosplayed out on how the Westerners think of Samurai (pardon me, I mean, Feodal) Japan.
To make it worse, Freelancer developper really just want you to think that way because this game is all about stereotype. (Yep, we know all british are goth)
But, let me say it; you are doing it wrong.
The only ones doing it -right-, in my time in Kusari that I've possibly witnessed, were AFA, and GC.
Blood Dragon? I never see the faction, but the indies...
"BANZAI!!!" much.
KNF?
"BANZAI!!"
KSP?
actually, this one I dont know, because I've seen basically no one play as KSP.
Seriously. Kusari warriors are more than just "honor kamikaze sake and katana."
There's much more to Japan than what I've seen roleplayed out.
And this comes from a Chinese patriot. Tells you much of my stance on Japan.. hehe
Apparently you don't spend enough time in Kusari to see how things work. What if we decided to be different from the hoard, how i like to call it "special". The rest you can be the laghing stocks from wht i care, be like the bretonians, look how well they're doing we own half of Leeds(Seto), and they laugh. That's a thing i don't mind. So you could really take you'r ideas somewhere else, you could give it a try tough, but it won't survive long enough in Kusari.
And by the way KNF, is not using the word "BANZAI", that's BD's.

... Talk to Igiss. I really doubt he punishes us for having fun. "Oooh! Not taking this war seriously, eh? Turn the other key, Watson, we'll make them regret this!"
So really though. You're saying all they indeed are is, as Xing says,

I play a KSP, and do it quite often. There are quite a few KNF who have KSP characters, but they don't play them very often.
Normally, -san is reserved for those that we wish to respect, so my KSP would use it when addressing other KSP officer, KNF officers, Samura and Kishiro traders, Hogosha, and AFA. Foreign corporate traders would not merit a -san, except for those that we see often and RP well with us. Bretonians, criminals, and general unsavories would get called gaijin.
And yes, Kusari is different from all the other houses, so it merits different RP. That isn't to say that all the other houses need to RP the same, it's just that Kusari is *more* different from the other houses than the other houses are different from each other. In Kusari, there is a different cultural base, and much more complicated faction relations than other houses. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way.
