Proposal: ID changes for 4.87

[AeternusDoleo]

- GMG I.D says players instead of ships - Fixed
- Can engage in piracy against Samura and Kruger players within their Zone of Influence. - Fixed
- Hogosha ID - "Cannot ally with any lawfuls except for KNF, KSP, and Samura against other unlawfuls only. the "other unlawfuls" bit is irrelevant - Fixed
- Red hessians ID: Bundshuh. - should be Bundschuh - Fixed
- OS&C ID Luxury is misspelled. Haven't run the spellchecker yet. Fixed.
- CryerID marihuana is spelt – marijuana - Fixed

- If Solar can't ally with unlawfuls – are they still gonna be able to exploit their brigands ties? Same for IND.
Smuggler, not fighter backup. Same for IND. Providing direct combat assistance to pirates means a quasilawful faction goes full unlawful, with rephacks and the works. And that tends to throw a spanner in the smuggling business.

- Samura ID "Cannot ally with any unlawfuls except for Hogosha or Farmer's Alliance."
Hogosha are quasi-lawful, so no need for them to be mentioned in that line.
Just for clarity this. Given the behaviour of Hogosha in the past, people tend to think them unlawful. And they do have strong ties to Samura.

- Golden chrysanthemums: The Golden Chrysanthemums are a revolutionary group who want equal rights for women in Kusari society. They promote Cardamine use in Kusari. They are allied with the Outcasts and the Blood Dragons.
It was pretty much accepted that the DPK gave women the vote, and that right to vote – which is one of the reasons they were able to win the first kusari election. So, it's not so much equal rights for women, that's more peaceful like today. What they do want is a matriarch – there is a rumour they have about not resting until a woman leads the House.
Not sure who came up with that, but that's not what the faction was originally about. Wanting to establish a matriarchical society would mean the end of their alliance with the Blood Dragons as their goals would no longer coincide. It does not make sense for more then a relatively small, extremist portion of the GC to be wanting this. I think this is one of the cases where player faction lore has started to conflict with server lore to the point that if player lore was fully applied to the faction, the faction would effectively implode. Equal rights is one thing, but I don't see young Kusari males line up to support a matriarchy - so the faction loses popular support among the population, and their BD allies. They become isolated, lose members, and effectively cease to be a power at that point.
Either way, I see no reason to put that on the ID.

- Order ID "with the exception of Alaska, Sigma-19, Sigma-17 and Nomad systems." I guess you mean omicrons, not nomad system? "Nomad system" is not obvious since it doesn't use words from the map like everything else. Like – chester could be considered a nomad system, but not an omicron. And of course – all systems are nomad systems. - Fixed

- Coalition ID "They are considered enemies by all five houses..."
If the Hispanics had stuck together instead of fragmented, they could have been House Hispania. But no, neither the Outcasts nor the Corsairs are a house according to server rules. This part stays as is.

- No zoi for groups in post #2 after I.M.G This contradicts z.o.i specifications on other faction I.D's who are also sirius wide. Like D.S.E, Ageira, Planetform. Either leave zoi off sirius wide groups (if it's even needed) or put it on every ID, with specified systems.
I have no clue what you're trying to tell me in this. No action taken therefor. Be more specific. Are you trying to make a case for assigning the BHG and Zoners a fixed ZoI rather then Siriuswide?


Working on some condensing and clarifications now. Will take a while.
