If i outright declared a siege people would cry harder

And would this upswing in activity be mainly players joining the RH for power? Or has this activity been equally spread across multiple factions in the Rhine?
You are blowing me off, despite the fact that I am attempting to be constructive and warn you of a potential problem you are creating for yourselves.
When any ecosystem has an overabundance of predators who grow unchecked, they inevitably will wipe out their prey, leaving nothing to sustain themselves.
I would not assume that just because things have been golden "for years" means that a drought is not coming.
Uh VWA is active, theres a new active unioner faction, RM is somewhat active and RFP has a new leader. BDM is active but refuses to interact with any and all unlawful factions.
Not sure where your argument is being drawn from there.
We're not wiping out all of Rheinland at all, its been like this since I took leadership.
I like the activity RHA has generated with their POB extortion racket. You're in their territory so you abide by their rules. You give them your money or they beat the crap out of your base with their fleets, because they have the power to actually do that.
There's 50-50 chance I'll log my Loki to fly with them or Bergelmir to hunt them. Both times I have fun.
RHA is doing it right, and the people who are offended by their up front criminalistic nature are the people who ended up getting hit with it in the first place. I don't now why it needs to be repeated, but they are not nice people. They're revolutionaries doing everything in their power to win and survive. Extortion and piracy are part of that, and if you don't abide by their set terms, they'll shoot you. If you're expecting a pat on the back, they'll shoot you in it instead. They aren't there for friendly conversation, they're there to take what you have so they can keep fighting Rheinland.

Like Rhein lawfuls two years back going hard on [RHA] every time had chance? Where you've been back then?

HAH! Since when does BDM refuse to interact with VWA or the Unioners? Give me one damn example.

No ofc not, you just hunt our recruits because you know they are easy blues. You just follow us and disturb our RP when ever possible. You gank us in every occasion. And then you wonder why some of us refuse to interact with you?
Do me a favor and kill all PoBs in Rheinland. Because that's the only source of activity RHA has. And then disappear.
@SkyNet You had no problem piling four people on two tho the last time I met BDM. I guess you shouldnt bring up things when you do not bother with acting like you want others to act.

Second, I have not been personally wronged by the RH in any way. I was simply contributing to the discussion.
Third, if the RH player faction is not careful what you will see is a very practical example of what I was talking about with the desire to "not die", though the actual mechanic is more ooRP.
If players die enough times to RH players or lose enough property or credits to them, they will leave your space. Players will not want to interact with a faction that they feel is abusive, whether this is actually the case or not. So you can RP as close to the line as you please. But in the process you may find that you are alienating yourselves from the playerbase and slowly killing Rhineland activity.
But, that's how the art of war works for Discovery.
You win the battle, simply by getting the enemy to -stop logging- That's what it is. Every Raid to make their finances suffer, every forum post to keep them off guard and show whose winning the battle. It's simple, the one who wins the war isn't the one that wins the most battles, it's the one who makes it easiest for his faction's players to log, fly and have fun as much as possible, while making the exact same as difficult and miserable as possible for the opposition.
To keep your guys going and flying, and make the enemy regret the thought of even nearing the 'join server' button .

I dont really hunt anyone lol. I lead raids, most of the stuff that happens now is a result of my members actions. PoB sieges arent the only way we get activity, we get activity from raids. Most of our activity came from shooting BDM in frankfurt recently and raiding Omicron Gamma. We have a day of activity already from it.
