If you were given control of a faction

[Dieter Schprokets]

I would take a Star Wars import faction and somehow make it work here.

I would get Kenshin Himura leading the KNF.

: D

On a more serious note:

What you do as leader of a faction is not so dramatical, things lead you to act in certain ways. I do not believe every step is planned, as player interaction is impossible to plan beforehand. That said, you cannot control how you will interact with others and therefore every step you take, and every breath you make, <strike>I'll be watching you</strike> is unknown.

The ones that are stricken through are already done.

Not all of them. At least not anywhere visible.

The ones that are red will not happen, most likely for anti-power-gaming purposes.

I'm very sorry, but launching offensives against those places is the most logical in-canon order RP there is.

The fact that they are not being done is powergaming of the Order| peeps that have keepers chars or want to brown nose them. Also a form of powergaming.

The singular one that is yellow needs further explanation. (I would like to know how someone false flag's a difference species. In the nomad embassy on Manhattan perhaps?)

Well, you could pretend to be an infected... by dumping dead infected, or while you are at it, dead nomads in an <strike>order</strike> "failed nomad raid" in gallia. Ships come pew pew pew, ships blow up boom, oh look... dead nomads in the wrecks... that must have been a nomad attack. And that corrupt little royal gallian ensign who just found his bank account miraculously loaded with credits... he also says that those were nomads, so it must be true. Get it?

Or start pew pewing nomads, make them follow you to gallia, gallians go wtf aliens and start to worry.

Or paint some fleur de lise on your ships, load some gallic whine, and dump the stuff in the nomad's back yard with a crusified nomad baby on top.

sheesh... how are we ever gonna win the war with your lack of imagination?

I hope you at least agree that getting all houses especially gallia to fight the nomads would be a good idea.

No idea about the non-stricken through. Will take the ideas on board.

And dont forget to propose me as new Order leader.

Thanks, I'm a picky boy at times, I'll have a good look at them another time, I've got 6 bottles of Heineken in me, so I'd rather not state something and be wrong >.<.

"I'd likely try and invite a few new players who show potential as roleplayers and like to teamplay."
Forgive my optimism, apart from SCRA and Keepers, I'd like this to happen anyway.
Fair enough on the diplomacy side of thing, though can I ask as who as?

Diplomacy side of things... depends on which faction you play in and who you come into contact with. At present I'm one of the directors of IMG|, a faction that's pretty widespread and comes into contact with all the major houses, including Gallia and the 2 Hispanic houses. So we try and establish diplomacy with most the lawful factions, and some of the unlawful factions as well. The IMG's ideology is more socialist (but not communist) then most other corporations - so we're pretty sympathetic to rebel factions that have risen up against corporations due to worker exploitation or abandonment. These factions include LWB, AFA, Hessians, Unioners, Mollies, Xenos, Lane Hackers...
This requires some pretty iffy diplomatic maneuvering from time to time to maintain a balance between keeping the house governments happy, and keeping the unlawful factions happy. Diplomacy with the Hispanic houses hasn't worked out. At all.

But this is just one example. Each faction is different in terms of who it comes into contact with, who it's friends and enemies are.

PS @dieter: You sure you didn't mean "Battlestar Galactica" faction?:D

[Camtheman]

Arent you the leader of the Keepers Boss?

Anyways, If it was a house faction and Igiss allowed me, I'd concentrate on ousting the pirate factions like a government really would do. First fix interal, then go and kill Rhienland...

If it was something else, I'd probably change the RP if it was unsuiting or silly or maybe I'd leave it alone. All depends on circumstances.

<strike>Give Barragers to anyone</strike> - Done that. Only a handful of customers in 6 months. Something about a balance fail -.-

<strike>Strengthen diplomatic relations with other factions</strike> - Done that too.

<strike>Motivate faction members to participate in training sessions, to the extent that we ceased getting raped</strike> - Did that.

SRP ship / weapon lines for both the player faction and all indies in it.

<strike>Quit due to stress and the game no longer being fun</strike> - Came back. Something about clinging to the hope things will change here.

Get devs to create well balanced ship for the faction


Already got 2/3rds of my goals accomplished. The others involve too much skypearsekissing for my taste.


Can I have a cookie now?
