Hypothetical Situation

[Levi Payne]

Hello,

This is a thought from the local idiot:
Suppose a child was born in Bretonia, joins the BAF, becomes a Battleship Captain, etc. Now, lets suppose that this BAF battleship captain has an unknown link to the mollys. Such as a brother he loves dearly, or a father. Now, lets say he was ordered to open fire on this molly that was dear to him. Instead, he opens fire on his commanding officers. Thus, being labelled as a traitor to the BAF and is forced to leave Bretonia and never return. But the man does not completely leave Bretonia. Instead he goes to Dublin and joins the mollys in the hopes to make Dublin free.

Now the problem that I see with this are the molly ID's. None of them cover a battleship. Would there be any way for this situation to come true without it resulting in a sanction?

Cheers

1 man does not fly that Battleship.
The others onboard would remove him from command and bring him to the nearest Bretonian base where he could be taken to a court martial.

He would not even be allowed to captain a Battleship if he was found to harbour dangerous tendencies such as Molly sympathies.
He would have had to shoot many many Mollys in the past to even get to that rank.


In reality, the entire ship would need to revolt.
Something that is highly, highly unlikely.
Especially during a war, when patriotism runs high.
The people onboard that battleship would be loyal to Bretonia, not to the Mollys.

The problem I see is you assuming that a BAF traitor would retain his battleship after disobeying orders, firing on his CO's & being forced to leave Bretonia without it being taken from him.

The entire crew is made of Molly sympathizers. The captain is very charismatic with strong leadership traits. The crew follows.
Talk to Dieter, the BAF leader about your options.

Unlikely in the extreme, and impossible given SRP requests are closed.

I cannot foresee an entire ship being Molly sympathizers, that said BAF intelligence would pick up on it and reassign members of the crew.

Picture this scenario in the horrible real world.

A vessel in the American Navy are openly sympathetic to an enemy's plight/ways. Would YOU let that crew continue to run with a majority of the crew manifest?

Military Intelligence can be scary.

Basically, the following thing hides behind the 'hypotetical scenario' name:

"Hello, I'm Molly and I want to have Bretonian battleship for 'list of activities'. My ID don't allow it, I don't care for anything except my fun of playing a battleship and the only roleplay background I have in mind is a hillarious story about the great superhero capturing the ship and bringing it to his 'list of relatives'. But I want Bretonian Battleship and I want drama. Had I said that I want a Bretonian Battleship?"

The answers are:

No, there can't be a whole battleship of Molly supporters operating in Dublin.
No, it is not a good idea, rather another final nail for Dublin.
No, I can't take Molly Bretonian Battleship seriously.
No, there is no other way except SRP.

"Father" or "brother" reason to go wild with a battleship doesn't sound too well.

Well I'm sorry if this offends you. But frankly, I don't really care what you think, troll.
It was just a thought, and I thought it might be fun.
The sheer number of trolls on this forum is staggering. I would think that the only people who would play this game would be those who enjoy it, and enjoy the other people in it. Instead, I find that 90% of the population with hate on the remaining 10% of the population that is actually trying to make the game grow.

So yes, I understand all of your complaints, but there's a reason I posted "just a thought" at the beginning.

Indeed.

This is always a rather difficult thing. As it always looks like "I want to play a faction because i like, but their ships arent powerful enough. So i think about a story and want a different one"

I myself have a former molly char (in RP) who joined the BAF and works as a Lt.Cdr. now...
but this one surely has his origins in Dublin, and wants the best of his system. But in fact, he signed the contract with the BAF by being absolutely loyal to the crown, which other motivation do you have to join an army?

so, in this case... remember your guy. You wont get a battleship command, when not being fully loyal. And then a brother you never knew before appears, and because of he is a molly, you loose every loyalty to the crown?

sure, possible. But it wont make sense in the RP way, in my opinion.
