IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Daomei, Maraauders are not organisation. We have been told that we are a faction.  You say we are not a nation, but we are.  You are playing very fast and loose with these concepts to suit your own argument.  Marauders in the new lands do not have national territory, but to say that they are not a nation in the old lands in simply ludicrous.  Just because mara are apposed to to the established civ nations and do not have the similar social and political structure to any of thhem does not mean they are not a nation.  Your narrow definition of nation is the same argument that colonial powers have used, and still use, to deny soverienty to indigenous peoples.  I am not equating mara with the colonised, but that nation is not a the narrow concept that you put forward. A nation is fundmentally an imagined community.

And honestly what is wrong with us getting faction points, we are a faction.  This is now official!  Many of argued before that were an organsition but this has been overruled.  We are an invading, expeditionary force in the new lands, but mara must exist as a nation in the old lands.  Thus we are reprensatives of that nation here.


What is comes down to is that you seem equate lack of access to game content as meaning hard.  We are only asking, not demanding, for parity of content, but to make completion of these occs harder than those already existing. Again it is not about confortable access, but rp consistancy.
