Factions and those outside of them.

[hack]

I feel that each faction is different in how they treat their story and what they consider to be "canon".

In terms of the faction being such a custodian, well that depends. If it's a house military, that's rather straightforward, and they are generally the custodians. But what about factions that are more complex, like the junkers for example. Now outside of what has been defined by the mod storyline, the junkers are pretty loose. They're a collection of clans and individuals. Logically, in RP, how could any one faction hope to speak for all of those voices?

To get to the point, I'm just saying that factions are good. But, factions can't hope to control all of the stories. This is a roleplay server. People aren't going to roleplay the boring people that comprise 99.9% of sirius, people roleplay interesting characters. Characters that are going to redefine the status quo. Joining a faction is good, but If your story's good enough (and believable) who is anyone to tell you that it can't happen.
So long as your story doesn't redefine a faction's entire RP, I don't see the problem.

I will give ya the Junkers example, they are a large group. The military example is how I am leaning...

I am talking about individuals who cant be arsed to join a faction but want to run and shape it from the outside.

If an indies story is good enough, let them play, just don't expect the faction to have to support what they do. Don't role play the head of the Military if your an Indie... not gonna happen.
