We need to hold an RP mining/trading fund raising event. The folks that are interested should meet in space and smaller ships mine and fill a couple large ships and we long haul to somewhere profitable. This does several things:
1) raise funds
2) shows off good RP
3) raises exposure of our group
what about an additional IMG affliated faction? - Potheus - 03-27-2008
Greetings all! My apologies for not posting sooner, but I've been enthusiastically awaiting admin approval to do so. Ian might remember me; my comrade Saracen and I were part of the original discussion that led to this little gold-rush of interest (pun intended). I've been keeping up with the thread, and must say that I'm very excited about the level of enthusiasm for this group. With the IMG caught in the middle of the Tau war, I think there is need for a player faction to represent their interests (which is how I think it should be presented to the admins for approval).
Ok, on to some specific points. I was looking over the proposed diplomacy and am curious as to how IMG can be neutral with Mollys but hostile with UoG. It is my understanding that UoG is essentially an alliance between the Mollys, Outcasts, Liberty Rogues, and Hessians. I suppose it works if they are some kind of quasi-pirate group, but that still seems fishy.
I'm also concerned about CR. I know for myself (and I assume many others) the point of this group is to support IMG without being required to have a Battlestar Galactica backstory (sorry guys, I just never got into it). Unfortunately, I worry that the admins will see it as doubling-up on IMG PC groups and we'll get shot down. I figure this can be solved by either convincing CR to merge with us as the escort branch of IMG (keeping their personal character back-stories of course), or getting them to adopt a merc id since they claim to be hired by IMG for security anyway.
Ok, that's enough for now. Tell me what you think, and here's to (hopefully) the beginning of a great new faction!

Gunboats stay around miners in fields.
Miners mine.
Transports go around.
Fighters escort Transports.
How about that?

well the UoG is just Mollys as far as i know and the wat between the two only just started but it is just between the CR adn the UoG as far as i know and the CR have been around for along time and the reason they are using IMG tag and ID is because the IMG are helping them find a new home within Sirius and i dont think we will get shot down because we want another IMG faction because there have been plenty of other factions joining the same faction as other player factions (TBH + Benitez to name one)
also i have found out tonight that we should be definatly hostile to Corsairs because in New London heading to Dublin i encoutered an IMG transport being attacked by Corsairs i did get screenshots but it isnt good) also BMM was there trying to fight the Corsairs aswell but i think IMG was fighting BMM, BMM was fighting Corsairs and the Corsairs were attacking IMG heh it did get confusing watchnig who was firing at who

WOW... There are so many posts in the other locked thread that I would love to reply to - but since it is locked I can't - without tedious copy and pasting. So I will just make seemingly random statements...
Corsairs:
I love Chopper's suggestion to handle the corsair/outcast diplomacy problem. We can be green with the official Corsair factions - benitez and the TBH if they are in agreement and we will be hostile to indie corsairs. BUT we should have rules of engagement. We should be hostile Indy corsairs in Omega 7 - because they raid us. When we run into Indy corsairs in other areas - we should be nuetral to them unless they attack.
Battlestars
No more than one in the faction and only brought out for special events
ZOI
Zone of influence... We can indeed be found anywhere - looking for better mining opportunities. I have RPed my char Starless Black this way for months. But we need to set an example here. Miners and Transports (with escorts) can be anywhere - but the cargo should make sense. And we should leave the capships in the systems where we have bases with occassional times where we venture in mass to do a big mining RP event. And even then - no more than 1 Albatross in the group.
Faction name
I am cool with us sticking to the 'Independent Miners Guild' and not coming up with a name that confuses other players. I have an idea for character prefixes.
[img]-Name
The use of small letters gives us a trendy logo look to our names and lets anyone using [IMG] that doesn't want to join keep their name.
We could even drop the brackets....
img-Starless Black
As for suffixes - I am agreeable if we work out something no too complicated.
Background info:
Ian - is there a way with your program to get dumps of all the rumors/news items that mention the IMG? I want to complie everything so that our story is rock solid.
what about an additional IMG affliated faction? - ian - 03-27-2008
no way can it do that whatsoever:(will have to travel around all IMG bases in and around Bretonia and Tau to just take screenys of the ones mentioning IMG
by the way, what ship is your Auximines? :o
what about an additional IMG affliated faction? - Cawdor - 03-27-2008
lets keep the brackets please. i hate those non-brackets factions. if i sort the plyers list by name, i want to have all of the faction in the special-char group. its way more comfortable.
i dont like the idea of the name suffixes btw. if people get pro- or demoted we always have to look out for name-changes. it would cause some unnecessary work.
and i think its ok to be neutral to the player-corsairs but we should be hostile to the NPC-corsairs because of the situation in dublin.
on a further note we should have some "almost green" relatinos to the hessians and bundschuh as they fight for the labourers.
what about an additional IMG affliated faction? - cabinn - 03-27-2008
OK as of this post 14 members have said yes to joining...
Can we get a rolecall with character names and what you intend to fly?
Forum name
Shipname
character that pilots the ship if applicable
type of ship
intended division of IMG
Other information
example:
Emerlist Davjack
Starless Black
Starless Black
Spatial
Miner/trader/explorer
Auximines
(character name to be developed)
Borderworlds transport
Trader
Hand of Sceiron
(character name to be developed) <-this character will be my Council Character
Albatross
Security
my Council character may fly a smaller ship under his own name so the crusier stays offline till needed.
If we go with the 'base administrator' idea - we need to decide how we are to divy up the bases.

cool with the brackets... how do you feel about the lower case letters?
I agree that suffixes aren't needed. If someone sees us in space they will know we are in the IMG - but to find out what we do they will have to approach.
I am agreeable to hostile with NPC corsairs - but I don't want to always be needing rep tweaks. "Rats, I am Green with the Outcasts again...!"

Gateway Shipping
We should be VERY green to them as it says that Gateway ships most of the IMG's goods around Sirius. Does anyone have a base list for Gateway?
