The Workers Liberation Front
Ridding Sirius of all the corporate trash.
Status Unofficial
Name Workers Liberation Front
Tag [WLF]
IFF None
ID Type Pirate
Over centuries of destruction of planets. Many people curse the damage done to the environment of many planets. Few fail to recognize the damage done to the people who work in these situations.
The WLF originated from a group of protesters on Leeds. After trying to be silenced, verbally and physically, it was apparent that the radicalist needed to take a different turn. They then repositioned to Gate Barrier Station outside of Cortez. This would allow them to stay in neutral territory to avoid prejudice of the easily manipulated government.
The WLF were able to buy decent ships, and soon tried to erased any spec of corporate trading made between the two systems. Eventually, the Council realized that by blocking both routes to Bretonia and Kurasi, and the formidable Omega's posing a threat of any Rhineland/Bretonian trader, they could effectively stop most of the trading.
The WLF are optimal supporters of smugglers and various pirate factions. Overall, we are very nonviolent if one chooses to drop their cargo. Otherwise we will intercept.
Enrollment Bonus:
Nothing. But we are willing to support our players to obtain a ship and decent weapons. (5mil? It will vary)
Positions:
Council Members {CC}
|
Commander {CM}
|
Captain {C}
|
Lieutenants {L}
|
Sergeant {S}
|
General Fighter
After you post in this thread I will send you a questionnaire that you will fill out. If you apply, chances are you will be in. We will reject very few people. The questionnaire just lets me know who you want to be in the faction.
By applying you hereby consent to the following:
1) Failure to attack hostile vessel, either in direct violation of a superior or otherwise, will result in the stripping of your rank and/or kicked from the WLF.
Clause 1 of #1 - Ultimately this is a little strict and if me or any of the other Council Members decide that you acted in thought and not action, (making the right choice helps), we can see it fit not to do anything.
You can apply in game by a visit to one of our capital ships : will be listed :
I hope you join our faction! This is just a little snip-it of us!
If you wish to join please include your name and ship ID; and just a general background. Applications are appreciated!

it sort of... lack content. Do you have any... like, -real- background story?
Workers Liberation Front - pieguy259 - 03-20-2009
Your ship list as "any" is worrisome.
Also, this is for official faction recruitment only.
Workers Liberation Front - sincerelymatthew - 03-20-2009
Sorry, I'm new and I didn't realize that unofficial factions couldn't post here. Is there any way I can move it?
Workers Liberation Front - pieguy259 - 03-20-2009
Ask a moderator.

I think if anything, they'd be friendly with the Bundschuh and Hessians before the Corsairs.
Workers Liberation Front - Xing - 03-20-2009
Why Corsairs, too?
and you cant fly anything you feel like, sorry. The excuse is not valid.
also, rag tag pirates, as you describe, does not, operate, capital ship.

SCRA.

As said below, the Council will be more than willing to drop the charge given the right circumstances.
We reward people who think, given a superior is out of line, then we would encourage the minor to stand up for themselves. Superiors don't always make the best decisions.
' Wrote:it sort of... lack content. Do you have any... like, -real- background story?
Not right now. This is just to get people interested. A full background story will be released later.
' Wrote:Your ship list as "any" is worrisome.
<strike>We would prefer IMG fighters like the Ravon Talon or such 'sair ships. However, at this stage we're not going to be picky about who joins and what they fly. We want to establish a war of attrition, not technology. </strike> Fixed.

The problem is, we don't operate too much in Rhineland. Our main areas of operation are in Liberty ( the most desired, seeing as it's location makes it a major hub ) . We aren't big enough to explore outward, and right now we are probably going to bring in the new players more than anything. The allied list up top can change at any given time. Nothing is final.
Once again. There will be a story released later. I'm just putting general info out on the table.

A Pirate ID allows you to operate a gunboat, which is considered a capital ship. Anything but a gunboat simply wouldn't be allowed until we have enough funds for to get an official ID.
and I will get on changing the ship types allowed right now. I see what you're getting at.
