You should consider a redo of your faction writeup, especially if you're going to be so insistent on telling people to read it thoroughly. It's so needlessly verbose it becomes borderline incomprehensible at times.
We have received different feedback regarding the write-up. The minority opinion is exactly that. I will make some adjustments in the near future. Thank you for the feedback.
Based on feedback, I have made some revisions and, with the assistance of other very kind players, enhanced certain aspects. I am grateful for the help, and would appreciate further feedback if anyone has something else to share.
Excellent interactions with YR| as a bomber with no fighting experience in Tau-29.
Wish I could say the same about your interaction in Honshu on my transport.
Great chase after dodging your ship twice, which certainly added to the excitement. This nearly reached a point of excellent roleplay when you caught me as well near the New Tokyo JumpGate. Hoping for a conversation, I agreed to your terms and killed my engines, but you opened fire on me because my escort, a light fighter with mining guns and a ripper mine was hot on your tail. I made a run for it yet again as you tried to kill me.
After YR|Wakizashi once again caught me, he asked me to move to the side of the lane and proceeded to destroy my ship despite my calls for reasoning.
Fairplay award for chasing and gunning me down, but it was nonetheless a very disappointing end.
Kudos on your pvp skills though, no doubt phenomenal. Shame the roleplay over this recent interaction was ultimately a let-down.
I am sad for not receiving the chat logs from DSAce, which would have allowed me to specifically refer to the events that occurred. In all my interactions, I have consistently engaged in concrete roleplay, something that none of the players on the server are obligated to do (and a good part of them don't), but it enhances the overall experience. We hold ourselves to high standards, and concrete roleplay is of importance. As it seems that things haven't entirely worked in your favor, I'll take this opportunity to clarify certain aspects.
From the very beginning of our interaction, it was quite apparent to me that you were making an effort to avoid me (as usual powertraders do, and in truth, if you had stayed, I would not have shot you down. I would have roleplayed, but you refused to roleplay back). On several occasions, I noticed that when I entered the system where SRD stayed for 20 minutes, their ship would magically appear on the opposite side (as a transport). It's quite evident that you were trying to avoid any interactions, but I chose not to pursue the matter further. You had an escort whom I gave multiple opportunities to leave the sector, but unfortunately, he didn't heed the advice. He openly declared his support for Samura and provided you with 5k Xeno Relics (You went to Omicron Xi to get those artifacts), something that the Blood Dragons despise. That escort kept informing you whether to undock, yet you refused to until he forced me to engage him so you could escape. Is this the RolePlay that you talk about?
You spent a significant amount of time docked at Yukawa Shipyard, seemingly in an attempt to force me to leave the sector so you could continue your trade.
If we're going to discuss RolePlay, I feel compelled to mention that your actions do not align with a good approach to RolePlay.
When I first encountered your escort, who entered the trade rings ahead of you, we had a normal conversation. Later, when I followed the same trade lane to see what was happening, I noticed you heading towards Yukawa to dock (cruising through open space to avoid an interaction), but you didn't engage in any exceptional roleplay, which is perfectly fine. I would have certainly RolePlayed a lot more if you stopped. But, you chose not to. Actions have consequences.
I provided you with three opportunities to halt and avoid running away, but each time, you tried to escape and refuse to respect a Blood Dragon. On the fourth occasion, I had to resort to shooting you.
Once I saw you beginning to speak in the local chat, expressing your dissatisfaction with the Blood Dragons not allowing you to escape with the Artifacts for the FOURTH time (which they view as a threat to Kusari due to their ties with the Order and knowledge of certain matters unknown to ordinary pilots), I knew you would come to the feedback forum and place all the complaints on me.
Additionally, I'd like to address the 2 versus 1 bomber situation you mentioned. Do you genuinely believe it's acceptable to restock during combat while ganking someone (2 versus one in bombers against a fighter isn't a gank more of the time, but if two experienced players face on experienced player, it's a gank. One bomber tried to instakill be the whole time, while other rank away trying to corona beam me from a distance. Later on, that bomber restocked, and returned to combat me again. I died)?
If you had chosen to stay and fight instead of repeatedly fleeing to restock (and attempt to damage me with Corona beams from distance), you could have had a chance to defeat me. For the record, I didn't run away; I fought until I perished, and I didn't complain about the situation anywhere. It's okay to die in a game.
If anyone else has a specific complaint to raise about my roleplay, they are welcome to do so.
I don't believe it's appropriate for you to go to such lengths to avoid interacting with me in the game just because we are enemies, and then complain that our RP is not acceptable. Sounds a bit hypocritical, doesn't it?
On the contrary, I actively seek interactions and don't shy away from them. I've spent a whole week trying to interact with GMG, and I finally had that opportunity today. While it's true that we are adversaries (Samura and Blood Dragons), I am still committed to providing roleplay when it makes sense, and I hope we can avoid actions like avoiding each other for the sake of personal gain. Instead, let's take the chance to engage in meaningful roleplay together and enjoy the game collaboratively.
Every action you take in the game has consequences. In the lore, the Blood Dragons mercilessly target and relentlessly engage against Samura, doing everything possible to eliminate them. During gameplay, I am willing to engage in roleplay with you as long as you refrain from avoiding interactions like this, or if the situation doesn't allow me to RolePlay much. I think this is a very reasonable approach. Can't please everyone. Other Blood Dragons probably aren't as kind as I am. That miner willingly engaged himself into a combat against me. Later on, dived into a planet as he had hugged a station before. I wish players would log adequate ships for encounters, and accept the consequences if they come across something that's considered better than that ship class.
I hope I cleared some things up.
Have a good day/night.

Refer to their own feedback, apparently they don't care nor want pvp related feedback albeit it's 50% of the game, but sure will come to your feedback to whine about it when they get paid with the same coin it seems.
I've come here initially to say I have only had great encounters with you and I will still proudly say that I have enjoyed the 1vs1 that we've had in Baffin after you've gone out all the way to roleplay. I want to give you kudos for that because it was the first time that I think I've genuinely enjoyed an encounter with a Dragon, despite me being outmatched in the fight and dying without much of a chance. I stand by this still, I think your roleplay is some of the better/best that I've seen from the Blood Dragons so far, and I really wish for you to succeed not just for us to be able to shoot you, but also to give everyone in Kusari more to do.
I also want to mention that the feedback provided to you by Crucible was based on an entirely different encounter than the one where one of the SRD] bombers went to restock (both encounters had different people and happened in different places) and I've since told people to play more fair and I'd like to apologize if it wasn't a fun encounter for you, regardless of my take that ganks are part of this game.

This, however, I'll not just let stand in the room. While your attitude inRP is great and I enjoy roleplaying with you, we've had several encounters where you got upset in either a players DM's or in our Discord afterward. I know it can be frustrating to die in the game, but pretending openly on a forum to not be upset afterward while complaining in closed off channels is something I dislike and quite frankly find morally questionable.
I still hold your faction highly regardless, and I still believe you bring something to the table that the game lacks greatly currently - an unlawful faction in Kusari that can provide roleplay and PvP on a very high level that can be enjoyable for both parties.
Last words are for fools who have not yet said enough.
I acknowledge that things might have gone a bit too far in that encounter, and I apologize for that. However, that specific interaction significantly disrupted our roleplay experience, as I had to shoot at someone who was experiencing severe lag (30%-40%, and you could have sent more context to that, but it's fine), appearing all over the screen. In my opinion, players facing such lag issues should refrain from participating in combat, especially in smaller and faster classes, as it creates an unfair advantage in a way. Also, I want to clarify that this feedback is not related to SRD, and I won't address those matters here.
Edit:
That discord message was related to the 2 versus 1 restocking. Hence, unrelated to those PMs. Those PMs were forwarded to one Suiko| tagged player who, as I said, lagged tremendously in a Tora Heavy Fighter, way after that discord message had been posted if I am not wrong. Interesting that you haven't provided further context, but, I am happy to clarify.
As you referred, that was the only time that I've PM'd someone in such a way. I guess people can freely take few snippets out of my two days of activity, mostly invested into interactions.
