As some of you have seen I and my clan are making a home on this excellent server. We are a high in RP clan and seems logical to become a member of this community.
We usually play the terrorist role but we do not wish to unbalance or disrupt the server. SO I am asking the community in general As I heard that terrorists are not really thought highly of. We don't mind being outnumbered or hunted, It is all part of the fun for us and you will never hear us complain.
So before we approach the admins about creating our faction I would really like to hear the thoughts of both players and admins so we can settle in properly.
Thing is, to get a Terrorist ID here you have to get your RP and your faction admin-approved for it. And the main reason that is so is because people have used the ID as an excuse to simply PvP-whore instead of RP. I'm not suggesting that's your intention at all, but that's why suggestions of terrorist factions are so rarely given any validity.
Well, just my own opinion and nothing official, but I don't think another terrorist faction will fly. The more terrorists that pop up just lower the RP on the server. Plus, you wouldn't be able to become real terrorists without admin approval (and don't expect to get that.) Even though you say you'd RP, there will be times where your members just go out and screw it up. (It happens in every faction, normal really...)
You might try and join a pirate or unlawful faction, see how that suits your tastes. The closest thing you can get to a terrorist without admin approval is a Xeno; I'd recommend talking to Doom if you want to try that out.
EDIT: Or bluntpencil2001, as his SCRA faction all flies with Xeno tags. In fact, they might be a good faction for you. But yeah, like Dboy said, we already have the Phantoms and they do the job quite well. We already have too many pirates/unlawfuls, so more terrorists...have a non-zero but vanishingly unlikely chance of getting approved.
You may have to change your name, as the terrorist ID is unavailable to players currently, and is only issued
with admin blessing. New factions cannot have consideration obviously, as you have no history here.
Please consider alignment with an existing NPC faction first, and see how your story fits into here, before
importing yours from another server. Hope you understand ...

Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
gotto disagree there - imo, a solid roleplayed terrorist group might add well to it. provided you really got your roleplay right, whatever that would include then.
at the moment, we only have .... one terrorist? - draygan. or are there others i m not aware of. well, he is solo, so i can t really think of what impact a whole faction would have.
anyway, the very fabric of the server is the roleplay, so i guess, any terrorist faction would need a cause to justify why they are terrorizing others - and where. ( and - which will become important... in what ships )
you ll have to be very resistant and at the same time very open minded for critizism. if played right - i don t see a problem, it can spice up parts of the universe. ( aswell as it can ruins certain parts of it )
the more extreme a faction is, the more impact it has on the community. there are factions out there, that are terrorists, too - without being terrorists ( ID wise ) - gaians for example are terrorists, blood dragons, too - i think - and others. they are not treated like that, but their cause justifies terroristic acts, sort of, which does not include mindless pvp ing of course:)
i d advice to just check out the existing factions, if some of their manifests is close enough to what you want, and only if you just can t find anything that fits into your wishes - you can start thinking of a faction. the benefit of joining a faction is, you ll have less work to do:D
edit: hate it when i start writing a reply and when i click on "post" i see that 3 others have finished before me lol ( make that 5 others )
Thanks a lot guys, we were assuming that the Terrorist role wouldn't be the best one here, so we are looking into how we could integrate creative pirating in with our RP.
If you wanted to try something unlawful, there are some NPC factions that are not represented by player factions. These factions have a somewhat terrorist like goals, but are usually contained within one of the four houses. Also for the general ease of Disco game play, they have IDs that read as pirates instead of terrorists.
Take a look into the History of:
Farmers Alliance
Bundshuch
LWB (One faction was recently started but got absorbed into RHA)
Cruise & Ichtan: If you align your player faction with the Farmers Alliance (per the list by NEXUS), I'm sure that the Black Dragon Society (i.e. our new Hogosha player faction) will help you get started as much as we can. We just started ourselves a week ago, so we can't really offer financial assistance at this time. However, we would be allied and we could do joint operations against our mutual enemies. I'm the Wakagashira (Black Dragon Captain with diplomatic authority), making me third in command.
