Some people play here to fight pixel ships. Their fun is no less valid than your cyber in local.
A) I don't cyber, and just because you think that every RP that goes farther than "u dai" is cyber that doesn't mean it is.
B) No one said I have a problem with fighting or PvP. What I was saying is that houses don't need a war to generate activity or interesting fights. People just need to think a bit more, but that seems to be too much to ask. Not that I'm surprised.
C) We also have Conn for that particular purpose.

War is a backbone for activity of all types. It generates PvP in the form of direct conflicts, it generates smuggling activity as goods become contraband during wartime and finally it also creates RP topics that can be discussed both in game and on the forums.

And with a bit more thinking than "herpderp we need war" the same could be done without it.

Things happens , some nuts commander open fire on civilian liner killing 4000 people , someone retaliate , tensions escalate , diplomacy fails , relations worsens , war is imminent . Human history is full of similar cases , i doubt that even 1000 years from now humanity will be less dumb and greedy than this past 10.000 or more years .
Who knows what will happens next ( except developers , maybe ) , maybe some new enemy emerge that threaten hole Sirius , forcing ALL humans to cooperate ( like those that prepare Sirius to Nomads return and decide to wipe hole humanity with technology way beyond humans have ) .

We need more @Wesker in this thread.
And by the way, what was that slaughter of 4,000 people? I'm interested in history, so if wasn't just an example, I'd like to know more.

Since when has Gallia and Rheinland ever had good relations :|

Gentlemen. Ladies. Please.
It is quite easy what the whole mod needs. It needs a DM. An active Dungeon Master. That will create actions to generate reactions. I don't mean another "GRN is attacking Leeds" and what not that we all know and love.
It needs someone that will make the worlds shake. Create a headline with proof stating that the Rheinland Military effectively shot down a civilian transport filled with goods to the Bretonian front. A mess that will make both govs move. Liberty's taxes got raised by 20% which increased dissent in Texas and Denver, increasing the unlawful npc patrols to go blitzkrieg, forcing the blue boys to leave the central system and actually have to go lolpew npc's and what not. A Junker that got caught in Rheinland trading with Hessians. A Zoner saw Core nomad experiments and reported to the central governments.
Etc. Someone that does not give a rat's ass about the tears it will create, because it will create activity. Someone that basically will generate heartaches, laughs, much needed diversion of the norm in here. Both forum wise and ingame. You don't see D&D players crying because their party that decided to camp at night was mauled by werebears.

Disheartening to see the PvP =/= RP attitude coming out again from certain people. Like it or not, there is a strong correlation between having a war and activity generated. I do not understand the constant and often-perpetuated attitude that seems to suggest that factions in conflict with one another should spend time slagging each other off in local or something rather than kicking the stuffing out of one another.
It may be possible to carry on interactions in this game with a minimum of right clicking, particularly for factions that enjoy an extensive amount of internal RP or that have the repsheet to find friends/neutrals to talk with on occasion, but for quite a few factions (cough cough) more often than not the simplest form of roleplay is the most accurate.
tl;dr wars are excellent for both in game activity and potential to write tons of forum based fluff. Houses without wars have always suffered noticeably on the tracker, aside from occasional spurts of presence that soon seem to melt away.

We've been discussing this in our secret leaders forum C:
Although unfortunately there's some negative nancy's that are against the idea.
