Novice An applicant. There are no restrictions, however, they also cannot use faction tag. Must be sponsored by a Knight to be officially induced into the Old Guard. To become a Novice is super-easy. Just skype me and *boom* your in.
Sergeant The standard rank. Can use molly snubcraft and codenames. Gunboat and non-molly equipment with permission from higher ranks. This will be most people.
Veteran The seconds and the recognized battle leaders. No more than three at any point.
They can fly anything short of a Scylla as a personal ship. They have moderate authority.
Grand Master The faction leader. He can do just about anything he wants.
.
Scyllas will on a pair of shared accounts for use with approval by Veterans if a certain situation requires it. Which it shouldn't, because Scyllas suck. Vessel restrictions only apply to faction tagged ships, and faction members are free to fly anything they want on any ship not associated with the Old Guard.
. Faction Goals In-RP
Driving the BAF, independent pirates, Corsairs, and Kusarians from Dublin. Bankrupting and destruction of the BMM and Bowex. Establishment of an Free Dublin as an anarchistic ideal.
. OORP
PvP, and plenty of it, with a solid RP basis. Fun and enjoyment all around. The advancement of tactics and teamwork, events, RP stories revolving around their activities and conflicts, and comic relief through exaggerated drunkeness and insanity.
. Methods In-RP
Open warfare, piracy, guerrilla warfare, lying, stealing, sieging, menancing, terrorism, attacks on important civic, military and economic centers, and general pillaging and burning. Anything and everything that furthers the Cause.
. OORP
Extensive use of tactics and teamwork, use of overbearing force when neccesary, the principle of alpha strike, and fighting to win without being jerks.
. Faction History
work in progress
. Faction Description
A group of old Republicans who have totally and irrevocably rejected any form of peace with Bretonia, chosing to band together to continue the fight against all enemies using all methods available.
In addition to their already fanatic devotion to the ideals of the Old Republic, the influence of the sociopathic and insane Eichann Rush has introduced religious zeal into their purpose, transforming their goal into the Cause, and their fight against tyranny into a Holy Crusade against Evil.
. The Unseen Freedom
Philosophy from a Molly. What is the world coming to?
Since AI Core Cruiser "Malkuth" with Molly affilation recently became a [OG]Guardian, I would like to know more about it - it's a rather unusual thing in Dublin, you know. So, the list of questions:
Why is the Old Guard using a AI IDed, Molly affilated Cruiser?
What is the background for usage of such a ship?
What are the guidelines for its roleplay?
On what occasions will it be used?
Will it still use Battleship Hood as base of operations after obtaining tag?
Is the player flying it an official member of Old Guard? While you are using the new tag - MC|OG], the Cruiser is flying with the old one, so I'm full of curioisity. If the Old Guard denies any responsibility for it, I'll be glad as well to get the answers from player/faction it technically belongs to. But since the Molly Councis status post mentions [OG] as a proper tag of the Old Guard, I find posting in this thread a valid approach.

We do know.
' Wrote:Why is the Old Guard using a AI IDed, Molly affilated Cruiser?
What is the background for usage of such a ship?
The ship was recruited in-game, with no oorp knowledge between the two respective players.
It started as a simple information drone, then Eichann Rush fed it information that put a negative light on the BAF.
I then attempted to "hack" the drone, and the player behind the drone agreed.
Since then Eichann Rush has reprogrammed part of it and is in full control.
' Wrote:What are the guidelines for its roleplay?
It protects Mollys.
' Wrote:On what occasions will it be used?
Whenever the player behind it wishes. Of course, since the player in question has since joined the Old Guard, for balance reasons I will sometimes request a ship change.
' Wrote:Will it still use Battleship Hood as base of operations after obtaining tag?
Of course. All Mollys do, as long as we dont get caught.
' Wrote:Is the player flying it an official member of Old Guard?
Since the inception of the AI rp, he has since joined.
' Wrote:While you are using the new tag - MC|OG], the Cruiser is flying with the old one, so I'm full of curioisity.
It's not a molly ID'ed ship, so it cant use the official molly tag.
' Wrote:. But since the Molly Councis status post mentions [OG] as a proper tag of the Old Guard,
The Council's post is outdated.
We had to change the tag, along with all the other clans, since Cannon announced each faction gets one identifier.
Thus, we have MC| as teh universal tracker, and the OG] as our subtag.
This frees up [OG] to be used as a affiliation tag, at the request of the player involved.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|
I must say i wonder wether i should be happy with this new molly faction or not. for the moment being ive had nothing but negativity of them towards outcasts. i hope this wont keep up....
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever
outsiders maybe, but i wasnt aware that it justifies shooting at us and calling back other mollies so we made no chance anymore against a hogosha raid on dublin.
the guy attacking outcasts without vallid reasons: Fred the great (rather old incident, id say just before mining got changed)
Guy calling back other mollies so us outcasts were outnumberd against the hogosha raiding dublin: no idea anymore, heard he got attacked himself by em later and lost the battle...

It more than justifies it, specially once you factor in Cardamine.
The Old Guard is very very hardline, conservative to the point of being reactionary, and religously anarchistic.
We dont like Outcasts, though usually we tolerate them.
The time I ordered you to stand down was when huge brawl was finished and we left BAF| and Reaver VHFs duelling. You, in a Tridente, were going to interfare into a DUEL. We, Old Guard, want to give a fair play when we can, you on the other had, did not. You opened up on drifting Sabre and destroyed it. Before that I shot at you to distract you and make you pay attention to what "owners" of Dublin were saying.
Now where the hell you came up with Hogosha raid I don't know. Get your facts straight.
