Fifth Timeline: Independent Factions

[Blueberrypie]

Utilizing the beginning resources given to me, expand, etc. God... All I'm wondering is how to get people interested...

You're fighting a lost cause, buddy.
For obvious reasons.

After my last post I'm running low on encouragement, but here goes.

That kind of faction would be immeasureably useful, not only for what I'm planning, but for other groups as well. However, you would probably need to be upfront with a FL that you've got peeps infiltrating, so as not to get called cheap.

Wouldn't have to tell them who, just inform them as a courtesy. I think it'd be awesome!

Failing that, I'm planning on having an intelligence division in my faction for... reasons. If you give up on a faction just for it, you're welcome to come into my totally-not-a-trap faction. We have a name (under wraps) and everything.

ps. (under wraps is not our name. Our name is under wraps.)

pps. (am aware that my ps. may have less helpful than I anticipated.)

Not true at all. There were a fair amount of spies embedded in to the Main Factions without the Faction Leader's knowledge. You just need to make sure you cover all your bases when you're doing your 'spy' stuff.

IE you need to actually have your character learn the information ICly, move it ICly, all that jazz.

Wow, really? Clearly I was getting ready to be far more gentlemanly than I needed to be...

This is intruiging...

 

[Lavi]

Yeah, you can manage spying without the FL's knowledge if you go about it properly.

Not exactly helping... I'm honestly looking for advice,

 

[Gambler]

Why bother start out with an independent faction? In the first few weeks of the new timeline, most people are going to be infatuated with the revamped factions. Independent factions might see a little activity if you recruit your friends, but there will be little to nothing to accomplish in the beginning.

My honest advice is to wait on creating a faction. Create a character, either independent or faction oriented, and watch the timeline grow. When something happens that provides an opportunity for an independent faction to rise, create one to help the timeline progress.

Besides, independent factions are overdone. There is almost no need for them except to bypass training or standard ranking in most cases. From experience, creating an independent faction solely to lead something is a bad idea. The faction dies, you get frustrated, and your characters are two dimensional. They would have been created to fulfill roles in the faction rather than to create stories of their own.

My two cents. Make of it what you will.

Now this is what I've been looking for.

Okay then, it's on! :bitchez Bring on the spiez!

 

[Lavi]

You got blood on my suit.

 

[Dmitri]

Thinking of organizing the Hutt cartel. Who would be interested in joining?

 

[Fusion]

If you pay me enough, I will.

 

[Cisco]

I think letting you live is good enough

 

[Dmitri]

If you pay me enough, I will.

I'll pay you twenty dollars. However, there is a 95% tax on this deal, and shipping and handling is a dollar.

Have fun.

 

[Fusion]

*places nuclear device in Canada* They've had it too good for too long...

 

[Roven]

I'm making a military surplus distributor for the indie factions around Ukio, so if anyone needs tons of thousand year old military equipment to get their diabolical star:bitchezrape going let me know when the boards arranged

Targus is nearly complete. Once the Kushari Federation reveals itself to the galaxy, which I'm hoping will happen on day 1 for convenience's sake, I'll be happy to provide tons upon tons of advanced ballistic weaponry, warships, starfighters, and armored fighting vehicles, along with custom-built armor, weapons, ships, and what-have you.
