Gaians are not 'Bretonian' anymore

[Marburg]

You are invited to say your piece.

There are many who believe that just because the Gaians are based in Bretonia they have to act & look like Bretonians...why is that?

Once a person joins the Gaians, they effectively renounce their citizenship & I've no clue why people would assume that a Gaian would feel any obligation of patriotism to a gov't that would sooner see them dead than look at 'em.

I have volumes of reasons to think that Gaians are simply Gaians, but go on...bring on the talk:mellow:

Agree, Gaians wouldnt have any obligation of patriotism to Bretonia, as you said they are hated and hunted.

I certainly see my Gaian as an enemy of Bretonia, the government, corporations and what they stand for

But hey each to thier own

gaians consist and was largly founded from ex-researchers who didnt like what planetform was doing.

these researchers were mostly bretonian.

Well... My Gaian supports the Bretonian side of the war effort. He'd rather shoot some ricers than Brets. But then again, he'd rather not shoot at all.

Does that count?

not exactly the greatest RP beause

a) giains are sided with corsairs which are actively at war with bretonia
b) outcasts are not at war with bretonia

Allow me to point out to you the open invitations of the community to make a group of Rogues with individualized diplomacy in order to pick up the Rogue artifact trade again.

But then I guess, in the land of black and white, the Rogues don't like the Corsairs, so I suppose that's wrong as well.

I can (& will probably make walls of text being specific) but an easy way to explain my stance is that imo, a Gaian that sides with bretonia is akin to an american colonist that sides with britian 70 years after the revolution & winning their independence.

Americans may have started in Europe, but they are not european anymore ie- Gaians are Gaians, not bretonian

It's an individual political favoring. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Gaians cannot be expected to all have brainwashed, concrete, uniform opinions about everything.

For instance, I like Ireland. Minus the moderately frightening prospect of the IRA, I would like to go there some day. My neighbor doesn't have to like Ireland nor should they have to want to go there simply because we live in the same town and go to the same church.

My Gaian is Ex-Hogosha... 'nuff said!

So yea, Only because Gaians Movement originated from a group of Bretonian Scientists, it doesn't mean they're "Bretonian" now. Sure, they're based off Bretonia, but anyone with love for nature can join them!

Don't misunderstand Magoo...I'm not trying to dictate to anyone how to play their Gaian I just want people to say their piece & invite logical reasons why they would support a hostile government
