SCRA - Those guys will shoot anything. They're everywhere. And wow, what terrible RP, all they do is pewpew. They're capwhores who all fly in cruisers and gunboats.
Wait...
QCP - They're so mean they pirate anything in Kusari. All they want is mone, there's no RP behind the interdiction. Capwhores too, always in gunboats.
Wait...
Bowex - All they do is fly around in convoys making gobs of money hauling other people's ore or their goods. I mean come on, trading with the Outcasts through thoroughly established RP? How could they?
Wait...
BMM are such an over-abused faction. All they do is sit in Dublin and Cambridge all day shooting those tiny rocks. What did those rocks ever do to them? It's heartbreaking. AND, then they have the audacity to give all that ore to Bowex so they can have activity and cross-faction cooperation, as their individual faction RP says they should.
Let me tell you, the nerve of these factions really grinds my gears. I can't believe the stuff they do that adds nothing but their own self-serving interests to the server.

REally, Joe hit it dead on. You get what you give. When the indies and new players see nothing but "Hacker, leave now or be destroyed" or "Outcast in space. He must be killed", that's what will be considered acceptable roleplay.
' Wrote:I vote [Admin] faction, nothing but lolwuts flying around in the best ships, with the best guns and best shields. Using their ill-gotten powers to do nothing useful. We should have them all banned.
I have no serious answer.
Gawd Del, I kno rite? they're like...total pvpwhores and stuff! why, just last night, one of them did his fancy little warp thing with a Harvester Cruiser and almost crushed my poor little Phantom Roc, trying to get a blue message and make it look like an accident?!?! How dare he!?!
ban them all!
Also, those Phantoms, how dare they be so...Phantomy...it's disgusting!
Edit: On a serious note though, I agree with what Joe said a few pages back.

The smuggling operations through Bretonia for the Hessians and the Rogues ... lol, wut ?
This is attenuated by the older members they are still able to show something interesting.
o.0
We did have a deal made long ago with the RHA that involved trading with them (but in RP the 'sairs wouldnt know that), though no one does that anymore, we also would never trade with the Rogues, they are dastardly peasants that do nothing but rob our good chaps of their savings.
Also, most abused is definately the GRN, I mean all those Sirian traders that come into Gallia in their Mastodons just looking for a bit of friendly trade, its just mean of the Gallians to shoot them! And they shouldnt shoot them anyway! The traders shot a couple of Council fighters and are neutral! This is rediculous! All they want to do is to innocently make money for that nice, shiney LABC and they get this crap?!

Grimly, you might be an old member, but that doesn't make your opinions and biases correct.
Every faction is cool. None of them are any more abused than any other. It's about what YOU bring to a situation. Nothing else. If YOU bring the expectation that someone's gunna give you some preset line then shoot you in the nuts, then they probably will, and you'll never get to roleplay with them ever, because you're being a negative ass.
If YOU bring ideas that the other folks can interact with, or an open mind to things they might be doing, then you're probably gunna have a better time.

:DI try to be a good girl and TEACH through example in my roleplay but also in PM I try my best there is a 35% conversion rate of NO RP PVP pew pews becoming lovely roleplayers that dont make me cry.
The pew pews tend to gather at the point of Indies, freelancer I.D's, Civilian IDs and within a few official factions. This how ever doesn't make those factions uncool or to be shunned you judge people by their individuality not as groups why because we are all unique people that make decisions.
now just for laughs I am going to give you an example of pew pew with a little more spice.
:Dlet me see I was attacked by 2 Mercenaries on my royal liner while being taken to safety out of liberty after a massive rogue attack which took the planetary orbit of manhattan. I was following a freelancer that had been in the ranks of the baf before he was escorting me to the new york cali gate he then jumped an i was still in new york i missed the gate an had to double back but then i realised that the two mercenary that were sitting there had fired on me an cruise disrupted me (which i think knocked my trajectory off twice) I was told off for being in Liberty and then threatened to be destroyed if i didn't hire them as my escort hehe they had fired on me before they made such demand an they did again just before issuing the demand. What they didn't realise is there was about 10 armed forces including the HMS.Invictus (bretonian destroyer) on the otherside of that gate an when they had realised i hadn't come through they checked on me an as soon as they heard they jumped in:Dan they ran away through the jump gate after a firm talking to was sooo hilarious. The annoying bit was all the way home to bretonia those two disrupted Every single tradelane...
