UPDATE: this has changed.. see later post

about the Autarks:

[]=OORP

we are anarcho-autarkists [radical zoners], who seek to establish a utopian society based around the anarchist values of community, respect, care, autonomy, and equality. in order to do so we believe in establishing autarky (self-sufficiency), first for our entire community (this is established), then for each collective within it, and finally for each individual. we have stolen plans to a few Rheinland vessels to aid us in military defense of our home system, Utopia [which we're saving up for, don't have it yet] whose location is a closely guarded secret. we have built a few of these ships and will build more in order to establish a defense and to combat those enemies who seek to stop us by force. we also wish to slowly persuade those who have similar ideals to join our cause through diplomacy. our flagship is a modified Rheinland battle cruiser, flown by Autark Mikuru. this is the largest ship we feel the need to have, and building it has taxed our resources, so we do not foresee the ability to build more capital ships at this time. other than the Rheinland designs we have acquired, we use Zoner equipment [civilian ships are ok, but for RP we don't want to go overboard with ship types]. we also have access to a limited amount of Nomad equipment modified for human ship use [maximum of 2 Nomad or code name weapons per ship].

utopian society based around the anarchist values of community, respect, care

Those aren't anarchist values, they are just values. Plus why would an anarchist want to CREATE a society? Generally they want anarchy, which is chaos, which is definately not as ordered as a society.

not bad, But the "I stole it" isn't something considered good, You will have to develop more about how you got those vessels.

Also an Anarchist Society cannot exist. Anarchism is the oposite of a society. When a Human is in the nature he is naturaly Free to do what he wants(very close to Anarchism). But once he is in a society he must get rid of this natural liberty (part of it), so at this point there is no more anarchy.

Be nice.

I quote the ever-reliable Wikipedia.

Some anarchists have opposed coercion, while others have supported it, particularly in the form of violent revolution on the path to anarchy or utopia .

Anyways, I'll be back in an hour, but I'd like to point out, how do you know what Anarchist values will be 2800 years in the future? (Or however long.) But yes, he's getting groceries and I have a meeting from 5:50 to 6:40. We'll be back with more information then.

More details in... Like I said, an hour. I gotta be someplace.

.we have stolen plans to a few Rheinland vessels to aid us in military defense of our home system, Utopia [which we're saving up for, don't have it yet] whose location is a closely guarded secret. we have built a few of these ships and will build more in order to establish a defense and to combat those enemies who seek to stop us by force.

Wait... so you got Rheinland ships, which you are duplicating... and you say you're saving up for a "Utopia" system... how are you going to incorporate that in-game? I doubt we'll make a new system just for you.

Oi! I'm still on, guys! This'll be the last one I post though.

Swiss - We don't plan on having one specially made for us. It's just that since we don't officially exist yet, nobody knows about our base of operations, home system, etc. We came out of the blue... Or from the moon. One of the two.

"OMG strangers?"

We will buy one. Already. In existence. (I think, can't speak for Eris though.) Now please, stop the cynical barrage. We're working on it! Just look back to the original LSF post by Tom, and this'll seem like a godsend.

We just wanted to let you guys know of our intents and who we are. A very basic outline, mind you. But as I said, we're busy at the moment. Just saying we're here and hello.

[Linkus]

Anarchists want anarchy yes? If not, the name's wrong.

Sorry If I'm not very nice on the forums, I try to be a bit more respectable than a I usually am >.<

It would be a very good faction probably but I worry that It'll just seem like the SCRA.

While the idea needs refining, they seemed quite nice and respectable in-game. I say give this a chance, and help them develop it, rather than just throw it apart.

[Heartless]

I see this as the 2nd religious-sounding faction appear in a week! Jihad!

or not...

From dictionary.com Anarchism: The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.

Reading this, I don't think you should use Rheinland ships, they are a very strict government and if you take their ships and speak out against them you'll end up fighting what may the the most powerful house in Sirius.

So I would say stay with Zoner and Civilian ships. Maybe some pirate ones, but no house ones as they are the governments you are trying to "undermine"

Did I even get the definition right or am I just speaking jibberish?

...Zoner...

<strike>^That's what you sound like. Zoners, but much more militant.</strike>

EDIT: Whoops... you seem to have mentioned that in your post. Nevermind.
