' Wrote:I was thinking more along the lines that Samura funded your gunboat because the FA does their dirty work for them. The government does not officially condone the FA. Samura has been known to fund them and is even suspected of rallying the out-of-business farmers under the banner in the first place.
Not bad, but I've been trying to get away from the "Samura's junk yard dog" and move more toward a socialist workers type group. "For the Farmers of Kusari" has been the line I've been using lately, and " For the Kusari People." I think if I ever try to start up the AFA again, I will atract more people that way.
Correction.
Hogosha does dirty work for Samura, not FA.
So, his story fits well.
Hogosha on another note have funds for almost anything to buy.
But, they don't need anything bigger then a GB (actually, -{BD}- owns only 2 GB's, one of which is a Flagship).
They are wealthy, but hidden. They strike from the shadows in small crafts.
And above all, they prefer corruption way, not the fighting way.
So, they will always first try to get what they want trough their connections, and if that fails, then with guns. Not before.
They get their money less trough pirating, and more trough Artifact smuggling (in RP, artifact smuggling for Hogosha is useless now, that should be fixed).
They also choose not to pirate in Kusari space, as they don't want Kusari police and KNF as enemies.
Instead, they are sometimes pirating in Taus (not IMG, but Brettonia traders) and Sigmas (GMG, enemies of Hogosha).
FA on another note get most of their funds trough attacks on Synth food and foreign corporations (in RP).
So, i believe it perfectly fits their RP to Pirate all traders in Kusari, except, as Mjonlir said, Kusari Tagged and/or ID-ed.
Hope this clears a bit of confusion, couz it seems a lot of people are mixing these two factions.:yes:

No actually, Hogosha do KNF's dirty work, and FA do Samura's. Here is a little excerpt from the in game infocard of Kagoshima Depot in Kyushu (an Alliance base):
"In reality The Farmers Alliance is
little more than a puppet of Samura, who wishes to return
to its Food and trade monopoly days. Samura uses them for
much of its dirty work, attacking foreign shippers, Synth
Foods, and even Kishiro on occasion."
Hope THAT clears up any confusion.

ON MY WAY OUT OF RETIREMENT
I have only met you once but I enjoyed it. The one thing I had a minor issue with was you grouped with a KNF member shooting at me and Teli. Oh, and the fact that you were shooting me.
I thought the grouping with KNF was a little fishy, but Teli didn't say anything soo... (I don't know the whole web of alliances/friendlys/hostiles yet so if I don't know I just shut up or ask.)
