DR)- Dublin Republic – Feedback

[Dublin Republic]

I am not taking it personally, there's also nothing wrong with the concept. It's just applicants coming mostly with the names that sound like Irish.

[Charo]

I think what Thunderer is trying to get at is that Molly's are obviously a Bretonian nationality, and I don't think the Irish diaspora suddenly decided to eject itself from their society and form their own lil' bretonia

Roleplaying Irishmen is fine - but when you emphasize it being the primary demographic, it's silly.

Actually I think that's EXACTLY what the Irish would do. Assuming the brits would even let them on the sleeper ship that is

The way I explain it to myself is that Bretonia consisted more than just Englishmen, but Welsh, Scots and Irish too.

I would just say that there is slightly disproportionate number of Irish heritage folk among BMM miners/Dublin Mollies at the time.

I was thinking of trying to start a molly faction of my own. But I'm not much of the leader type. Can't wait to see where you go from here!

[Dublin Republic]

I ran through feedback, there are things that were not answered.

I was really keen on doing diplomacy in Bretonia, but both Gaians and Mollies were dead

Then you came along and i was so excited, but well, wish you wanted to play along

Good luck with your faction

It would be nice to make more prolonged RP, but with the input, you gave it could not end differently. Mollys are not very interested in the eco agenda or hipsters in Bretonia parliament.

Nice to see a Molly group that isn't outright hostile to Gaians, perhaps You and Nemesis can do some work together, I can certainly see some common ground.

Gaians fight Bretonia and Enclave. Gaians are not claiming Dublin or not being ever a remote threat to independence. There simply no reason for hostility as is. Mollys being working-class people in hardships of war are super far from sharing Gaian agenda, so there would not be warm relationships either. Cold neutrality is how I consider being right at the moment.

Once again thanks to everyone else for kind words and support. With the current number of recruits, we consider running for officialdom.

I wouldve loved to represent your organization and the cruelty of bretonia over the workers, i am just here to enjoy the game and write some shit that doesnt matter at all.

There are lots of organization which are outright hostile to their counterparts which is very contradictionary if you compare it to real life.

You are trying to get money for reimbursement, getting dublin back, getting rid of bretonian assets. These are all done via politics and pressure from world organizations in 21st century. I doubt it should be much different in space age.

I dont mean you should not enjoy pewpewing the brets, but manipulating a bretonian representative into supporting molly faction seemed interesting to me, thats all

[Lemon]

That's a stylistic matter. Nothing is going to change on that matter.

Nothing in the faction description is suggesting the exclusiveness of the Irish origin.

Remember that in the Freelancer universe the Molly movement originated as a worker's protest consisting of ex-BMM and other workers that got pissed at how Bretonia is treating the gold fields of the Dublin system.

It has more to do with worker's rights and space resources than it has to do with nationality and culture.

Although inspired by the real life IRA which sees the British presence in northern Ireland as an occupational force, they were never meant to be the same thing, in game, the Molly movement doesn't consist of Irish people necessarily, but of all people employed by the Bretonian corporations and whoever else the Mollys welcomed into the fold.

With that being being said, my personal suggestion which you can ignore is to change the faction's symbol from the Irish Harp to maybe a sci-fi version of the Celtic Knot if you wish to maintain that Irish style.

Or at the very least, modify the Irish Harp to look like something closer to the Freelancer universe because right now it's just the symbol of the nation as it exists in real life and that's sort of eh, the closest "import" of real life symbolism in Freelancer is I guess the flag of Bretonia which is just the Union Jack, but made into a "V" type of shape instead of the square flag, so maybe do something similar with the Harp?

Thank you for your feedback, your suggestion has been noted. The art style is unlikely to be changed by this point in time. Our lore meets the narrative you just described though, it's just pictures.
