This is the Feedback thread for the [A] Corsair-wing Faction.
Let us know how we are doing!
Background Role-Play:
Quote:The [A] stands for the Anarchists.
The name is simply a nickname to their specific wing within the Corsairs. They are all Corsair "descendants" or however you wish to label that with the middle-eastern names being codenames. So to repeat that, they are as much as a Corsair as are the The Brotherhood. They are not allied to the Corsairs.
They are a wing, within the Corsairs. With their own self-proclaimed leader. Whether or not it is approved or supported by the Corsairs as a whole is up to the Elders, if they wish to kick us out from their homes, it's their decision.
As many other Corsair players have suggested in the past and as the infocards suggest regarding the Corsair vs. Zoner relationship, the neutrality or the co-existing harmony between the two is based entirely upon the Zoners being a "valuable ally" in the sense that they constantly provide food to Crete and other desired items.
The wing was formed in an attempt to get the Corsairs to wage an official war against the Zoners, or at least stop recognizing them as an friend, and instead as a target of interest, another group of pilots to loot from. This is the agenda of the Anarchist-wing. If we would ever succeed, we would then continue to take rewards from the goal. After all, why would you fight for something and once it is achieved simply walk away?
Why? It is simple. The Anarchists, did recognize the potential of keeping the Zoners as a trade-partner and saw the validity in it, but their leader, Saladin, who was formerly a Corsair who went by the nickname "Saladin the Sunkiller" (here) (please check the date to see that this character isn't just something I made a week ago) - believed that in the end, taking over the bordering territories currently strongholded by Freeports and Zoner activities, would present tactical advantages on both the war against Outcasts (Freeport-9) and Hessians (Freeport-5) but also presenting new angles to perform piracy strikes at. The last motivation would be to gain natural resources/locations where they are presented such as taking over the control of Planet Gran Canaria or simply gathering resources from the hostile take-overs of the Freeports.
In summary: A Corsair who believes that it is more valuable to destroy, loot and take-over the Zoner's presence in the Borderworlds for their own gains, rather than keeping them neutral on the basis that they will continue us with a steady flow of trade. One which Saladin thought also that he could rely on Samura, Hogosha and other allies instead. You could say a Corsair who went back to the roots of what the Corsairs were, a fearsome pirate-group that took everything that was in their path.
The only question that remains at this point should should be: How will the Anarchists push their agenda to make the Corsairs as a nation go against the Zoners? They will perform strikes against various Freeports scattered across the Borderworlds and present their work on open broadcasts. Continue being a present threat towards the Zoners and anger them, push them to a point where they will make a mistake, such as the mistake they did when they halted all shipments towards the Corsairs, trying to force the Anarchists out through the method of black-mailing, Saladin knew that if such an event would occur he would have to rely on the pride of the Corsairs to backfire on the Zoner's plans.
Given the current situation, Saladin did indeed predict well the outcomes.
' Wrote:I wonder, how can anarchists have a leader? Aren't anarchists against any kind of authorisation and thus leadership?
Every (most of them I think) Anarchy has some kind of "beginner", someone who starts all of it, and someone who is followed by the members of the Anarchy.
Update your spelling in your description. You have it spelled anarachist sometimes, and anarchist sometimes.
Second - certainly there are pirate types of corsairs, that's part of your roots. What is your relationship with the official Corsair factions?
Fixed spelling now.
Our relationship with the official Corsair factions seems to be divided. I believe that the Benitez does not support our actions, or at least the ones I have encountered.
The Sails seems to be supportive to the point where they will openly aid us in pushing our agenda forward. I believe this is most likely due to the fact that they have a similar "aggressive" stance towards the Zoners as we do (in comparison to the other Corsair factions), and have had in the past, hostilities or verbal conflicts with them which might also play a factor in their new stance.
I'm not sure what The Brotherhood's stance are on this, but lately they seem to be more supportive with our group than before due to the fact that the Zoners have now openly bonded together with the SCRA/Hessians against the Corsairs.
