Ok, A few of us AFA took a little trip into Leeds today and had a jolly romp with an assortment of the Queens servents. It was a great time and we came out on top. Now what pissed me off is hearing everyone and thier mother (with the exception of the BPA/QCF ships) that the AFA were OORP for being in Britonia. Look people there is a War going on, and the AFA as loyal Kusari citizens will do what they can to help in the war effort, which includes raiding Britonia when possable. We have to be able to attack our enemies, not just sit in Kyushu and wait for them to come to us. We will also be targeting Synthfoods ships, in Liberty if nessesary. It is time to take the Battle away from our doorstep and put it on the enemies door step.
Hope this clears up why AFA would be in Britonia, so I dont have to keep answering the same questions over and over.
Hm, I thought it was perfectly fine for you guys to come into Leeds. We've had our quarrels with you in Ze'ev's gunboat before as well, when you were helping the Gaians. Now you are an official faction and supporting the Kusarians in the war, so it is fine for you to fight us.
Just a pity I couldn't really enjoy the fight for long; sorry, but I really had to go.
Maybe we can repeat that sometime?:)
While personally, I accept the AFA romping about bretonia (as it makes for plenty of good old fasioned political intrigue/spy RP), but what I don't get is why 'citizens' would do so as opposed to 'soldiers'. Would the AFA get a hold of military grade weapons, ships comprable to those of bretonia, and have the tactical knowhow and cohesion to mount such an attack without Kusari support?
I'd see the AFA as more of an unofficial internal police rather then an offensive force, based on their available resources and doctranes. It would also make sense for the AFA to proceede into border worlds to chase down those who have done them harm (me for instance).
Given, I see the AFA are within bounds operating in bretonia, given the state of affairs and their strategic alliance with the Gaians, or as a rear-lines gurellia force operating on behalf of the KNF.
I was wondering why you were there... I was on my way to the Tau's with my bomber to kill some Kusari cap ship NPC's for my first time, but then I found you guys and knew it was my duty to help me comrade.
Nice fight, but next time I'll be in my fighter and not that bomber.:)
Right, well, personally, I'm supporting any actions involving Kusari incusions into our space, because pretty soon, I'll be putting a battleship(with full escort) down the Emporer's Gullet, and you guys deserve the chance to revenge such actions.
Anyone calling the AFA out of roleplay, well...I'm of the camp that honestly doesn't care for your opinion. At all.

I was there in my Earl Grey char , a civilian . My chat was in RP as a pompous Bretonian blueblood incensed at you Kusari invading our ''sov'rin territories and spreading malicious slander about who started the war'' ( it was Kusari of course :P ) . If you saw that as OORP , well , I thought we had a grand old dialogue going !
Next time , I'll keep my mouth shut , and carry on , which would be OORP for MY char ? ( I agree , however that there were a few other comments passed , and that whole debate with the lost corsair in system chat kinda killed the buzz... but he's learning and turned up again later , looking to fix his mistake and asking advice ) .
Anyway , I think you have every right to raid Bretonian space , but my char , Earl Charles Grey , obviously doesn't !

I don't see any oorp here and I'm thankfully welcoming every attempt to bring some action to Bretonia. And that little brawl was pretty fun today:)
But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered--
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before--
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
<blockquote>Then the bird said, "Nevermore."</blockquote>

The farmer's alliance may be allied/friendly with kusari's navy, but they're still a pirate group and your zone of influence is still limited to kusari space. Your job isnt to hunt enemy house members, it's to stop synth foods from messing up your business.
Though, personally, I find it hilarious that the alliance and kusari in general rant on and on about Gai'jin ruining their precious culture, and then going into systems owned by other houses, becoming 'gaijin' themselves. Bunch of hypocrites.
At this rate, have the entire LPI attack Kusari, Rheinland, and Bretonia on the grounds of racism.
Who's in?
" 'ey all you 'dem be jerries and 'brits an' de like! Get out this sov'rin Libertonian powerhousin' soil-space an' whathaveyou."
And this then of course justifies Corsairs in Liberty as well! After all, the Outcasts and Rogues are their enemies. Come on, guys... A bunch of disgruntled farmers with a log, a load of torches, and a pitchfork for each hand will leave invasion to their armies. They have Dracula to worry about and go run down.
So please, if you're going to do this, stop ranting about Corsairs in New York? It's only fair.
I mean, it's far out of my area, so I really dont care on a personal basis...
but farmer's alliance in bretonia are WAY out of their zone of influence with no real reason other than "lol, war".
If you guys want to attack bretonia, do it on kusari naval forces characters, not farmers. As it stands you gain NOTHING from attacking bretonia, and you probably risk losing a large portion of your ships and resources attempting such an attack.
