Like i said in the other FA thread i like the idea of this faction. I think someone brought up a good point that its not every members cup of tea to RP a pissed of farmer but then again it isnt everyones cup of tea to play tree huggers in the NLH but it worked quite well.
And im all for broadening the factions on the Corsair side of the fence as there are allot on the other Outcast side.
More information about them from ingame rumors and that would be good like Kress has said.
' Wrote:On a side note I think it's intresting how the forums break down on things like this, everyone seems to be at heart either House, Corsair, or Outcast. The people who are very nicely saying their groups need more members seem to be part of the Outcast or House group (ie Blue Lotus, and RepEx) While the people who seem very supportive seem to be allied with the Corsairs. Just an observation, even when we are not in RP sometimes we still play the roles.
Well if you look at the Corsairs they are like... rabbits the number of people they have. Outcasts however are short on numbers so obviously we'd be concerned with our own factions and their health. RoS is big but 101 is small, Epigoni merged with RoS, UOG is in the midst of a leadership change and figuring out where they stand, etc.... So the Outcast side isn't as strong as it might seem, especially when Corsair proponents start to post.;)
As for RepEx, yea its in my siggie but I don't think we're hurting for membership. Had 3 more people sign up in the last day and a half. The thing about RepEx though is that its a trader faction. Lots of people are gonna get bored and drop in and out so having lots of people in it is good, plus it gives them money to make other characters.
BLS, the one I mostly advertise for lately, is in need of people. 6 people total spread over a few time zones. The minimum for an active faction is five... I don't think its overkill to be worried about that. That and its hardsh competition for the best RPers. There are lots of people on Disco but not as many whoa re great at RPing and have the time to join another faction. I was talking to Lohingren and he said that RoS was getting inundated with applicants so much that he has to turn some away, but that also he feels like some would be just PvP lovers.
So I think that our factional ties coming out is quite expected. But good observation nonetheless. If you look around though there is lots of talk of factions that were once strong being weak. Its a major concern for alot of faction members. Not that I want to step on your toes here. If you can find people that want to RP angry farmers then I'll give you a pat on the back and say "welcome to Sirius, now prepare to die Corsair lover".
And PFunk, I will take your taunt, and explain how synth Paste rots your body and about the fact that biodomes are not even mild compitition for farm food grown planetside in terms of nutritinal value:)
Accendency, it's your notion, if you want it your more than welcome to it. Although I would love to work together on it, starts us out with 2 members instead of just one.

Kind of of topic sorry,
It might seem that way but we really don't have loads of corsairs, quite allot are independent and really just play for themselfs not as a whole with the rest of the Corsairs, theres only a few independent ones that really join with the Corsair factions and fight with us. For the most part its just The Brotherhood and the Benitez, the Brotherhood may have close or over 20 members but theres only a small few who are really active, same with the Benitez. We also do not have close ties to our allied factions like the Outcasts do, mainly because there ideals are allot different from ours, NLH, Workers Front and maybe Farmers Alliance.
When you look at that and put it up against the BIG Outcast alliance it is really much smaller. in the Outcast Alliance you have 101st, RoS and BLS, then you have NovaPG, HF (Lane Hackers) and then theres also UOG and AW that seems to side with you more often than not.
You might not have as many independents as the Corsairs but you do have as many if not more when you look at your allies. I don't no if you where part of the outcasts about 2-3 months ago but we where getting our as*es handed to us on a plate when the Outcast alliance was openly attacking us.
Currently, my only comment would be something about London buses, and how you never see one, then
two come along together. What is happening here ? No Farmers Alliance, then someone posts one, then this
appears straight after ...
Someone enlighten me please, and I feel a bit of getting together first may have been a good idea before
posting a second one ...
