lol this is actually serious and not flood wtf
Quote:1.8 No ponies, furries, or direct imports are allowed
Even putting aside the blatant rulebreaking, religion is a very big unexplored field of potentially good RP and worldbuilding (I tried it myself with Custodi and Archangels), it's a shame to see it executed so poorly pretty much every time it is attempted.
A pirate group that pirates all transports carrying alcohol because of a religious theme would be really interesting actually, provided good background and reasons. This is just importing islam and in the most superficial and boring way possible (hurr durr coalition terrorists boom)
Also does the server really need ANOTHER coalition faction? Don't we have enough russians here already?
Anyway, just the 2 cents from a lurking bittervet

I would also like to tell you that almost every piece of info in your new faction is referring to Muslims and Arabs.
If you cannot see this fact, then you are only deceiving yourself and others who probably are ignorant enough to believe it
I am not against your faction, by the way.
Do it and enjoy it and add a bit of religion, racism, classify groups by hated names, referrers to races, etc...
I don't care since the discovery moderation itself didn't care till now lol
I know this quite well. Is not my fault, if everyone imagine all of that as bunch of guys that spammin in sector Yayyuahu Snackbar! And annihilate everything like that. Just look from another side. How about Kempentai? Just look at wiki what is that, and what crimes they did. But seems like no one care. But in that case strange to see how many guys complain about Saracen. Dunno.

Salaam alaikum, Salaam - usual greeting, hello.
One scheme I'd suggest is to use these previously-controlled arab cities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taifa - or on the other side of the Mediterranean (Greece & Turkey)
RE: [SAR]Saracens - Feedback & Suggestions - Czechmate - 06-02-2020
Yeah seems obvious to name caps after arabic cities etc.
Ranks too etc.
Basically the usual easily accessible straightforward faction stuff
with a new theme
and specific long winded stories and details, even religion etc. built in -RP later on by specific chars
