' Wrote:Always had respect for Junkers that were thinking outside of the box. I suggest you round up the people under a skype and simply start trading. What Taffic said already, no tags would be a win and since there's now /si command it means that you can all define yourself there.
But we can go in depth of a faction tag. Why is it there at all? It is there to ease up the communication between members in game. Easily inviting people in the group and easily doing whatever (within the game).
Getting some sort of communication outside of the game (skype, xfire) helps you actually chat without being in group and thus not being figured out at all.
If you still want to be able to figure each other out just add some secret into a name of your character. For example there are many words that contain TIP in them. Just make sure those letters are big in your name while others are small and ta-daa new members even recognize each other without /fi
but this is all easily bypassed by skype. People make mess out of some things.
Well if they roll without tags they get +1 to metagame defence, if they do use a tag they can go official with it and have their hours tracked. All a matter of what you want. Plus if they do their job right, nobody will ever know they're smuggling.
