The Sons of Man
Who begged forgiveness
For losing his soul
Through technology
Its maculate origins.
Drew Kerensky PH.D of history and law lectured on the luddite principles of technology using man for political and capitalistic gain. This was a way out there philosophy in the eyes of normal citizens of Liberty but gained popularity with some of the more extreme factions of sirius.
In short Kerensky reasoned that throughout history mans use of technology has been predominantly out of scale with mans ability to use it responsibly leading to great periods of wage slavery and disenfranchising of mans ability to support himself. He cited the industrial complex for corporations to be a great evil that chew up generations of families and spit them out for vary little compensation. This was backed up by the many labor related terrorists groups in sirius today many of whom have existed for centuries.
Its unclear where the spiritual aspect of the philosophy came from but during a speech in 819 a.s. at the University of Erie in the Pennsylvania system Kerensky said.
"Its clear to me that man has entered a cul de sac in the matters of saving himself from the great machines of corporations that have made him into cogs. Anything man can make with his hands and mind are outmoded in spirit and scale by a vast network of exploitation. We have to return to the soil and become self sufficient employing only the basic necessity of machines in order to secure our redemption. Only then will our souls be innocent again and only then will our lives have meaning again."
Mixed reactions came in the wake of the typical speech being put aside for this message. Dr.Kerensky's shuttle was last seen being escorted by Xeno craft not to be heard from again...
What they do.
The message of the Neo Luddite Front is that until "all mankind" returns to the agrarian lifestyle he is "intended" to live the evils of technology will continue to consume and kill him in a sense they proclaim themselves to be the solution calling what some would find hypocrisy in using technology to destroy it a "controlled implosion".
The NLF vows to make examples of selected targets by complete chance its speculated a "Wheel of retribution" or a set of dice are a catalyst for selecting targets but this has not been confirmed.
The NLF has a political or public presence on the Neural Net often broadcasting their targets ahead of time or who is to be made example of. Though this does not stop them from pursuing targets of opportunity, after all anyone utilising space craft are targets of the front. This figure "The Hand" always appears with the voice altered and face obscured. Some suggest its Kerensky himself other point out that he has been registered missing and presumed dead since 819.
Some speculate that the religious or spiritual angle came from a small sect of quasi religious clubs within the Xenos known as the church of man. The Xeno culture is a vary secretive one though this would be the first fundamental arm to show itself.
The Where
At the moment stirring of a major demonstration of the NLF has been floating around the net for weeks. Indicating the time of revolution is soon and that Liberty will be the flashpoint for what will set the entire sector on fire.
Brass Tax Information.
NLF
Tag: NLF.NAME IFF: XENO / Terrorist ID: XENO / (hopefully a trans sirius terrorist id in the future)
Vessels: Xeno allowed vessels of all kinds. The idea is Zeal is our weapon so it will probably be a mess of terrible loadouts and cap8 hegimons.
This "retro" faction is designed to have a vary basic premise everyone can get behind. The faction is designed to be an honest attempt to inherit the trans sirius terrorist mantle without being related to anything cavernous or over complex while operating in a semi predictable manner that gives RP a chance to work on the boards setting the tone for the groups attacks in game.
We use dice since I have some. The Wheel of Retribution will probably cost real money. The mode of operation is via roleplay or the Dice of retribution "The Hand" will select a group or area to be made example of within liberty and eventually all of sirius (when of if we get that far). A good period for this could be anywhere from two weeks to a month and to make sure us elitist terrorist types aren't just picking on one group all the time theres a cooldown on targets.
Recruiting?: Right now were conceptualizing and refining ideas posted here. If you want to be added to the skype and think you can contribute IM huggiesunrise. SRS INQUIRIES PLZ
Otherwise post your feedback here. I will in all likelihood spend a greater amount of time making the writup nicer if and when were ready for officialdom.
well rubber banding and glitches are common fer me lyth. Actually during that last fight my 980 crashed three times. (not making an exscuise just saying) this new pc has been a serious pain I have no idea what that would do with fps I dunno if the mod team can even fix such a thing.
