I'm talking about factions dedicating themselves to each other in terms of scope, rather than RPing merely to justify PvPing with whoever. Don't get me wrong, this happens in both sides.
I would really love to see the RFP create a very restricted bounty board like Sleipnir did with the BPA and Zapp did with the LPI. It would mean that BHers would have no grounds whatsoever to bring capships into Rheinland (and NB especially).
In both houses I think this contributed to reducing the capship spamming among BHers.
I found that it helps create and maintain relationships among players, which can be difficult in Rheinland with all the traffic it gets.
I'd say it would be a grand idea for an event to be organised between RFP and VF/LWB. It would be a smaller event than the grand Rheinland lawfuls vs unlawfuls on sundays (which so far only get attended mostly by RM and RHA >_>). Only light fighters allowed. That would boost the activity of both factions tenfold, and would be an interesting new event rather than the tried and true heavy guns shootout.
Also, since this is Rheinland, perhaps the RFP should also take on a role of the so called "thought police" in system chat whenever there ain't much going on? It would definitely differentiate the faction from the likes of the BPA.

We discussed creating a bounty board for Rheinland in the RM chat. I'm sure Virus wouldn't mind RFP taking care of it (I guess it's their role after all).
An event sounds like a grand idea even though I would really like to develop RP outside of events. You know, like responding to distress calls and what not.
I had tried to do the whole thought police thing a while back with passing traders with mixed results. Of course, this was when the diamond run was huge (not sure if it still is) and got mostly confuzzled bad RPers. Plus, detaining people for random questioning usually ends in "stop ruining my trade run!" or "bugger off with your stupid LF."
Yep low recruitment numbers has been a big falter in the way I wanted RFP to be. I had imagined a larger force with which a big squad of LFs could do some appreciable damage while being difficult to hit. Largest squad I ever got together was three pilots total; that is enough to make mincemeat out of a bomber. Though, I had always envisioned a squad taking out a pirate GB as an attempt to show how LFs can be effective in numbers but that takes a larger number of which I am not sure of yet.
Anywho, I love the great feedback. I'll be on Skype (mr.discomonk) soon to talk about it with any of you.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW two RFP today in NB to talk to. No fight broke out, just banter between VF and RM/RFP/confused bystanders. Good show boys, make sure activity stays up.
Gotteshand, about what you said that we were being "overshadowed" by the RM, I completely agree with that. The RM is so popular and known as one of the factions where you have to have good RP, the RFP just looks, I mean, I've met people who have never even heard of the RFP, they ask what it stands for. And when that happens, I just feel so awful....
Oh yeah, we should make a SWAT, just like the LPI, Phantoms can't even kill a Transport... barely. I've tried.
We need a revival, and I will do just about ANYTHING for that to happen. Just have the RFP be SPECIAL in a way... Believe...
