The War of the Great Kingdoms (A Sci-Fi NRP)

Like lookRedspace has a shitload of pirates in its territory, and they survive just fine, because they're all independent and don't have a central organization that can be targeted. But by making a "pirate empire" that spans multiple civilizations, you are setting yourself up as a massive target.If you really want to be pirates, scale them down and pick a player to cooperate with so that you can exist within their space.

you seem to think my faction is weak, trust me when i say it's not, just wait and see when i finish my faction sheet.

I don't need to see your faction sheet, you've already proven yourself really keen to be targeted by almost every other faction. It doesn't matter how strong your faction is, and if you are going to continue acting like this, you will only encourage people not to interact with you =D

Yog Sothoth said i want to have fun rather than just be my own little bubble which is boring in my opinion

Nobody has to stay in their own little bubble! Nobody said that! What I have been saying is that a massive underground crime network isn't feasible because we aren't that interconnected! We are all planning to contact other civs and interact and have characters that go on adventures with each other, though!

Yog Sothoth said also there will probably NPC factions since none of our factions will take up the entire galaxy so most of my pillaging and plundering will be done against NPCs for the start of the rp.

I will reiterate that the GM has stated we will cover a small section of the galactic south consisting of no more than 10,000 stars. As far as I know, there are zero plans for NPCs. This will be a player-driven RP.

Nobody cares how many big numbers you throw down on your sheet. What we care about is writing an interesting, engaging, and fun story between each other. Playing a big badass warmonger that exists solely to piss other people off is not going to make your popular, especially when it flies in the face of all logic.

first of all i haven't even picked where i will be on the galaxy map so for all you know i could be at the complete other end of the galaxy away from you, so you just have to wait until the OOC is up before we know if i am even within good traveling distance of your faction.

Wait, he did? I read through the Thread and I can't find where he said that. If so, then that's nice; everyone will be close enough to interact with each other.

You've succeeded in missing the point dramatically.

I'm telling you that you can do pirates if you want to, and that there isn't anything about this RP stopping you from doing that, but if you are you should do them logically (like my example of Redspace's pirate problem).

i actually have a character in mind which i hope will offer some comedic fun to my faction.

That's all well and good, but if you're setting your faction up as a bunch of assholes nobody is going to want to collaborate with you enough to let you use them.

I am waiting to see what happens when the OOC is complete, and i am trying to be different,

If you want to purposefully make your faction assholes, I can't stop you.

i would like it if you stop name calling my faction, and before you make the excuse of telling it how it is, there is still a better way of saying it.

I'll call a bunch of pillaging lunatics that raid every civilization they come across assholes all I want, thank you very much.

You've been told ways to make it work better, and you tried to make excuses around it. Live with the consequences.

they won't raid everyone, i stated twice that they trade as well.

okay fine,

Yog Sothoth said
okay fine,

It was a legitimate suggestion that if you want to play a pirate group you collaborate with another player and stick it inside of their faction.

i'm not making any statements until there's an OOC and also see what factions are involved, i probably won't be the only faction that is warlike.

You're obviously not the only faction. Right here in the interest check we've got the graal.

okay, well again i stated that my faction will trade with other factions so it's not all pillaging and plundering, i am allowed to be selective on how my faction makes war.

Good luck not getting your ass beat.

It can safely be assumed that there will be a fair few factions who will not trade with yours due to the pillaging and warmongering. I can say for certain that the Synch will look down upon them, especially if they have attempted to hit Synch vessels.
