Perhaps I should rephrase my earlier statement - it doesn't say so anywhere, we roleplay it, as do most other official factions. You can roleplay authority over us too, it doesn't have anything to do with being official. Recognition comes with respect, if you want it go earn it. You're welcome to make a group of your own as the SFC have done and do things your way, or even push for official status yourselves.
Bear in mind however if you were to do that, we'd simply ignore it rather than make a scene about it, and continue to do things our way as freely as you're able to do yours.
IRP Authority is just that, RP. There aren't any faction rights at work there aside from leaders actually being able to act on them in extreme cases.
Instead of that I'd implore you to work with people and understand the reasons for their actions. If you're not interested in that, go ahead and play red is dead by NPC actions, but don't be surprised if there are people who do things differently by their own RP. The character you shoot up may be deeply in love with an official [LN] one, or perhaps an informant, or maybe just a long lost friend. Because that's what roleplay really is. Not just being another brainless NPC.
