@ Snak3, i personally cannot comment on that but have passed it on to the relevant person (currently unavailable).
though i am not aware of any need for an unofficial faction to do so
we did discus the creation of [*USI*]3M, which does use the miner ID with Echo 7-7
note [*USI*] does not use the miner ID,
[*USI*] bought 3M making them [*USI*]3M
Attempting to circumvent 1 ID per faction rule is like multiboxing.
USI is a shipping company, that is all. You're nothing more, nothing less.
If USI starts mining, what is the point in DSE/IMG/Junkers?
Loneshark came to me saying Echo 7-7 gave them express permissions to do this:
Quote:why can we mine ?
well we are strongly linked to XA/xenos
who arew what ?
ex miners etc
we have established rp to rehabilitate ex xeno offenders
ie we employ them on release from Huntsville, Sugarland
so we have usurped their mining skills from that
3M originaly Morgan Mining and Manufacturing was bought up by USI to exploit these talents. becoming Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
we talked it over with Max first
Max is a nobody, he cannot give you express permissions to bend rules to your advantage, considering he undermined what was said to loneshark here.
So as this is a complete and utter disregard on the ID rule, I'll be looking a lot deeper into this.
"Loneshark came to me saying Echo 7-7 gave them express permissions to do this:"
ah that equals

theirtag is
[*USI*]3M
not just
[*USI*]
3M uses generic miner ID and we get no faction bonus

[13/04/2014 02:51:55] loneshark_: didnt think he was anything to do with admin
dev circle rather
at the time we thought more likely to be a blocker if we missed the mark
which im sure we didnt

Is this not the inverse of my question in another thread: If DSE/IMG/Kruger/etc. start shipping their own ores, what's the point of shipping companies?
"" other groups with a wider zone of influence or multiple aspects of gameplay are often not portrayed fully by the existing official faction and allowing other groups to fill the gaps would benefit the faction as a whole..""
