We're actually ditching all that and currently are in the process of replacing our complete backstory.
So that about solves your problem.
Will let you know when it's done so you can view it.
Anyways, our RP on the server isn't really import, nothing about it is.
Our ships are also Freelancer ships, not Battlestar Galactica ships.
Anyways, the last element of import will be removed with the backstory revamp anyways.

Just to be clear- this isn't a joke, I honestly won't be seeing people talk about Cylons and such anymore while I'm trying to immerse myself?
That... that is something special. I've seen the capacity for great RP in many of your pilots, and despite a fair number of bad experiences I must say that most of my interactions with the =CR= have been positive, at least when the BSG jargon and immersion issues are removed. You lot have had some bad things dumped on you, from being ignored as an RPing faction to outlandish claims of capwhoring (the Atlantia needing admin restore at one point, IIRC), and a few choice words from me personally... yet despite all of that you have kept yourselves above that... well, with a few notable exceptions (I could name them, but we're better off forgetting them) and maintained a constructive attitude in this thread that I truly respect.
So long as the new backstory and RP style does not interfere with the fact that we are playing Freelancer rather than Battlestar Galactica, I look forward to great things.
I do recommend you make sure you keep your members in line with regards to RPing while trading (an issue I hope has been resolved) as well as... shall we say, practical jokes. That has been a very touchy issue in the past, but I haven't seen it lately and I hope you can keep it that way.
Also, please stay on top of your diplomacy. When someone questions how you can be friends with, say, the Corsairs and still expect warm treatment in House space, please answer them. Make sure your members are aware of proper responses to this to, confusion over =CR= members acting as though at war with Bretonia despite apparently not being at war with Bretonia according to =CR= leadership springs to mind. Also, things like the Chugoku/Hideyoshi's Guard incident... well, please pay attention to those and endeavor to at least respond, if not to explain your actions.
I'm going to stop right here before I go into the bashing mode I've done previously- you are trying to reboot your faction, and I respect that. Do not forget the mistakes of the past, and you should be fine.
Best of luck to you, I look forward to seeing the new backstory.
We're in a peaceful mood and all that so my post will reflect that as well. But a few things need be said.
' Wrote:Just to be clear- this isn't a joke, I honestly won't be seeing people talk about Cylons and such anymore while I'm trying to immerse myself?
When have you?
But anyways, many people just prejudice our RP to be imported while everything that you see in the game will always be purely based on what happens in Sirius, and not some remote other fictional world.
Anyways, in any case, the answer is that you won't, if you ever have.

First, thanks I reckon.
Second, weed in every crop, as I always try to say. We ain't no different, it can slip up to everyone.
Atlantia? Sorry, I don't recall what you're referring to, but I have a gunboat by the name of =CR=Atlantia so I'd like my memory refreshed just in case.
Choice words? Nothing we can't shrug off.:P

The whole story was discussed and commented with Igiss and approved by the aforementioned person. You can take that as you will.

For trading, yeah, there have been a few incidents here and there, but nothing too much, that I know of at least.
Practical jokes? PM me examples if you don't want to post it here. I'm interested to hear what they were.:P
' Wrote:Also, please stay on top of your diplomacy. When someone questions how you can be friends with, say, the Corsairs and still expect warm treatment in House space, please answer them.
Well frankly, I've always answered such questions.
Simply put, our alliance with the Corsairs is not a straight head on partnership between the two.
It's simply an agreement of keeping the Outcasts and any other common enemy that might come up at bay easier with mutual cooperation.
Had we ever actually allied with them against someone we claim to be neutral or better with, then we'd have a problem. That ain't the case, so we don't have one.

Actually, Bretonia has made an official declaration of full hostility against us.
It was about 3 or 4 months ago, or at least it seems like that to me, when the privateers were attacking our transports, there was some diplomatic flinging back and forth, and the brilliant diplomats of the BAF somehow made the whole thing of our people dying our fault, made an ultimatum to us that was beyond any measure of reason, we of course snubbed it, and that was that.
We don't consider ourselves at open war with them, because we don't really have any interest invading their territory.
All that remains in our interest is keeping the Taus fishtank-free.

Actually, I don't really mind anything anyone might say.
To me, flaming is an occasion where someone uses insults and swearwords. You can freely accuse us of anything, I welcome the chance to act all testosterone-like and try to rebut your arguments if I can.
So whenever you have something to say, fire away.
I'm too young on this server to know the mistakes of our past, it's actually all been a road on high in all my time here, with only a setback here and there.
Anyways, thanks, and here's for better times. *raises imaginary glass*

I'm bad with names, I must've meant another ship. One of the Battlestars, the name Atlantia sprung to mind. Not like your Battlestars are in space enough for me to remember what their names are, anyhow.
As for those practical jokes... I'm going to stay on the safe side just in case people took them differently than I did.
A fair number of the incidents I'm referring to happened before you joined the forums, and a few others it would appear ended differently than I recall (usually for the better). The important part is that they are in the past and you are actively working to better yourselves and the server- that is something to be respected regardless of any previous mishaps, and I look forward to meeting you again in space.
Swift has said everything i could come up with.
Seeing these events you mostly discribe are in a far away past.
We are trying to convert some parts of CR to blend in with the sirius galaxy (so there will at leats me no more problems with ppl calling us imports etc )
I hope eveyone will see the effort we put into our RP and Faction.
If i dont respond PM me i get lost in the massive amounts of posts here ..............
Having IMG| characters, I often see the Colonial reunion flying around in space. What's the difference between your players that are tagged "=CR=Green-4" or "=CR=Panzer" or something. Are the players with more generic squadron names of a lower rank?.
Your faction is rather active during my timezone, so it would be easier for me to quickly identify who's in charge. I'm not suggesting you revamp your entire naming system, I just need to get the hang of what you've currently built.

You can find the names and ranks of the "normal" characters on our roster in here or our faction status post. (Hasn't been updated in around 40 days, so missing 5 more people)
As for whether they're different or not, yes, they're different.
The =CR=*insertcolor*-*number* are 16 ships in total that we use for people who are on trial to join us fully. In-RP, those are pilots who've just passed basic flight training and are in full pilot training at the moment.
So basically, when someone applies and if their application's accepted, they go into one of these babies for 14 days until they prove their chops.
So yep, they're the lowest of the lowest, the scum of the pit.:P(Just kidding fellas:))

Just wanted to drop by to say thanks for doing a great job. My characters hate your guts, which should be taken as a compliment.
You've pursued the Midnight Express on more than one exciting chase. What's even better is that you manage to muster up some serious firepower without capspam. Keep up the good work, and see you in space!
