Jumping Salvagers into deepest Maine at 4am server time is not 'creating activity'.
Neither is coming up with the most blatant and obvious ooRP heel-face turn that the server has ever seen. I thank you for insinuating that I don't know how police factions - and by extension, GRP - are meant to work, Jonas, but I'm afraid that you're so far off the mark that you don't stand a hope in hell of ever hitting it.
The main reason I am so frustrated is that this faction has showed a lot of promise since its (re)inception - but, of course, all good things must come to an end. Maybe I should have sold Lyth 90% cells on GRN tech, too, while I had the chance.

The only reason why people are up in arms is because Junkers (and .:j:. as a result) are rephacked RED HOSTILE (not neutral, red) to GRN.

A police faction serving a house that has been fired upon by Junkers, specifically the Congress battleship. I don't think either one would be willing iRP to communicate with the other, especially since they're at war.

See above. .:j:. has engaged Gallic Royal Navy forces before, I don't think the GRP would just turn around and go "oh hey, they're our friends now" without the GRN or Crown objecting. Plus, Gallic Junkers exist.

A police faction would never try to make some income through questionable means. Why do that when you can rely on the pittance of an income from fines we have to support ourselves on.
Certainly no Police faction has ever raked in hundreds of millions of dollars just to look the other way on minor issues.
Especially if, God forbid, their RP allows such behavior. [/sarcasm]
I don't honestly see any benefit to you taking money as a bribe in this oorp fashion when you could just as easily run police-like trading if your only reason for that thread is to profit from the issue. I've seen indy GRP transports, even liners, trading before. Why you can't just RP trade prisoners from GRN bases to GRP prisons for example, or be self-sufficient enough to find a more reasonable and actually logical way to fund your faction, is beyond me unless I missed an ID change that disallows it. We UC did it self-sufficiently, there's always a better way.

Oh and by the way, all of the above but i would also like to mention that Congress attempted to assist in the war against GRN, another reason why you shouldn't be doing such a foolish thing since you should basically be GRN's right hand. - Taking bribe so you can both enjoy the taste of the money, leaving Gallia's enemy freely roam through Gallia. That is just stupid and ooRPly and we don't want that, not in here not now nor ever. I find it ironic that Congress itself also "oofere" to help you out, leaving iRP problems with GRN aside.

Meh.
I know I sound like some jet-fuel-can't-melt-steel-beams lookin' ass kid, but all of these circumstances (new faction with members of faction helping another faction, undermining previous roleplay between the groups, etc) seem to lean a little too much towards the blatant OORP-screw-roleplay-get-money type deal, something akin to Tushie's "fk the lore" type deal. A conspiracy, if you will.

That's from my log file. Sure, two words isn't much engagement, but it meets the requirements, and for a fight that has already started, it is perfectly appropriate. Also, welcome to Disco, you will have unfair fights. Everyone does. I suggest you learn to accept that. Also, don't spam // in system chat, especially to interrupt a fight, it's bad taste. Lastly, if you have a problem with the way someone acts, the proper way to handle it is with a report, not nagging in what people think is a feedback page.
