When I first started interacting with Iseijin Trappers, even though I had already read the lore and all, it was still getting pretty confusing (Because if the impression everyone have of "Wild ID"). Also, seeing how many "Less Experienced" Players have same reaction when seeing an Iseijin Trapper, or a Wilde Scorpion (Simply, "ZOMG WILDE!!!"), I completely understand why these changes are needed.
Hope it'll help your situation even a little bit;)
I could swear that I posted something here once already :wacko:
Anyway, some points which Tenacity mentioned were correct. I remember few encounters where AI players had full nomad weapons, (not the ones Order have, modified) and claiming it's the same as ours and going with RP that they are just normal pilots which was a bit silly, and then some people were acused of metagaming.
But that was way at start of this faction, where people were still new to Kusarian wildes, and there were confusions. This haven't been happening lately, I don't even remember when it was last time, so nevermind that's in past now. It means they learned what were their mistakes and corrected them.
When you mentioned this idea first time on skype it sounded very interesting and I was glad someone is starting it. Now with more details it's even better. I am hoping it will bring new interesting RP oportunities for Order and everyone else. So good luck.
Well I'm glad to say the Order and Iseijin can create some story for the Blood Dragons and Order to follow that explains the Remnants of Tekagi and their role in the Nomad Worlds, creating intel on them.
Then we can arrange some stuff OORP for the Hanta-Iseijin and Order to be stealing intel off each other or something.
Haven't quite thought it out, but the new changes will leave us open to alot of opportunities to create make the Northern parts of Kusari and the western parts of the Nomad Worlds more interesting.
The Wilde ID/IFF with KNF ships is creating a lot of confusion that fills our Skype Channel.
I hope that I could find the guy who hands our Skype ID...
And please stop Q_Qing on our Channel after that you were killed by some Aoi Iseijin. Try to discover their RP.
For the Admins: Give them their own ID..they deserve that..their RP is ruined because the Wilde ID is making them friendly only to the Nomads/Wilde...ergo..they are shot by every station in Kusari except the Arch.
They deserve this.

For Tenacity: Stop being against them only because they have a Nomad background in their story.
Tenacity most if not everything that you have written were problems that existed in the past. Some of those things you mentioned might not even be true.
Since the time when I joined, which would be about approximately a month now, I have been given a certain set of rules which I must follow as a Aoi Iseijin member.
The first and foremost rule being that my Trapper character (which essentially is a Kusari infected pilot pretending to be the KNF) is not allowed under any circumstances to use any kind of nomad related equipment. That means full human KNF-aligned equipment ONLY. And that goes for the vessels as well. Only the KNF shipline is available.
The faction leader of the Aoi Iseijin have talked and now coordinated with the KNF leadership regarding how these Trappers should behave in the presence of [KNF] players and even there they got certain guidelines to follow. The chief issue being addressed is how to deal with our Wild ID automatically setting us hostile to all Factions but the Nomads themselves and how this will be projected to real [KNF] pilots. Therefore we are not to be "seen" with other [KNF] Pilots and generally avoid them to operate our Trappers isolated from the rest. Meaning you will stumble upon a routinized scan in the middle of disrupted trade-lane rather than us sitting next to a Planet that is aligned to an NPC Faction that is hostile to us.
Any Aoi Iseijin character that utilizes Nomad equipment in any shape or form (with the exception being the Wild ID and IFF) is NOT considered a Trapper and therefore is NOT dependent on hiding his identity, or to "pretend". For example, I have a Hunter, that is conveying as a Blood Dragon. But if someone would identityfy me as a Nomad due to the Nomad equipment I use, that's fine with me - I will simply adapt to the situation. We only use our Hunters "disguises" to create temporary illusions, turning allies into enemies during combat - but this is only possible if the other side is willing to play along. Sometimes they are not, so we just adapt. Either we fight back or we run away whilst we scream that they are infected. If our cover is blown? Well too bad - it happens.
But our main goal as a character that is NOT considered to be a Trapper (meaning a character with any Nomad equipment on his/her vessel) is not to hide our identity. Thus if we would stumble upon a situation like recently, where mine and Joe's Aoi Iseijin Hunter Blood Dragons cover got blown up, it's not a major hit to our Role-Play. And we can continue the new one which is basically us being considered "Blood Dragon Rogues" or "Blood Dragons that aren't considered to belong to the Blood Dragon Faction anymore".
I have yet to see a single screen-shot to back up your accusations of us "instantly engaging in combat with little to no Role-Play". I have personally never done this, neither as a Trapper or as a Hunter and until you can show me some hard evidence, I'm just going to assume that your claims are false.
Mismatched ships. Yes, all types of Kusari inhabitants get infected. Hogosha, Farmer's Alliance, Blood Dragons, KNF, basically all Factions considered to be Kusarian runs the risk of one of their pilots getting infected - thus it's natural that a Hogosha pilot for example gets infected and start operating via his Black Dragon.
BUT! Only Trappers fly solely KNF-line ships. Only Aoi Iseijin character who ONLY use 100% Human equipment (with the exception of the Wild ID) ARE pretending to belong to the KNF and thus they can't use anything other than KNF Vessels.
Therefore your accusation on that area of our Role-Play is either out-dated, misinformed or a lie.
As I said before, off-topic posts will be, and were, removed. All drama posts related to said off-topic posts were also deleted.
Tenacity, at the end of my patience. Stay out of this thread. You've shown you cannot post objectively or constructively, and thus I am removing you from this thread forcefully. Your posts from this point on -will- be made invisible. This isn't due to the requests by others to remove you from this thread... Not that they don't have good reason to make that request. But because of your own behavior. If you continue here in this thread, or take your personal issues with people into other threads, the team will be considering more harsh methods. You're already on watch, I recommend you don't continue.
DRV, keep it on-topic.
Hideki, keep it civil. DRV's post didn't warrant that kind of a response. Nor do you issue warnings. That is our job.
I'd like to bump this thread just to bring it back into the attention zone for a bit. If there are any new comments, ideas or critiques concerning the first post, let us know.
