Hi Walt
Just a few questions that I have a feeling a some folk would like to know the answers too. Hopefully it will help define what this is all about in a positive way.
Is this an anti existing powers movement?
Is this an anti archon thing?
Is this because archon moved in to the mercs space and it messed with what you are doing with the BGS?
Are existing powers welcome to be part of this thing?
If so which ones are and why?
If so which ones are not and why not?
"The Border Coalition is union of player minor factions on the edge of civilized space joined by necessity to protect each other from encroachment of aggressive major powers."
Can Powers with player minor factions join this thing?
If not why not?
If so how is conflict resolved between two opposing minor factions resolved in this thing?
The groups that have signed up are not on the edge of civilized space, what's there motivation?
Do these groups such as Communism Interstellar have a leaning toward any particular Major Power such as the Alliance?
"In its current form, the Coalition is simply a defensive pact..." Has this thing assaulted any space outside of its current regions or asked others such as the neutral group of scientist and researchers called the Canonn to attack groups it sees as a threat ?
'In the event that one of the factions involved becomes a power, that faction will ask Frontier to make the created power representative of the Border Coalition' Will you resign at this point or will you try and grow a power base?
With factions such as CI and the Mercs working together, is it reasonable to say that other faction types such as democracies that are in the same space will be second class citizens or have their expansions opposed by this group?
'We seek to be peaceful with all the current powers.' If this is the case, is there any truth to organised snipe attacks and system flipping being carried out by this thing and its members?
If peace is what is being sought where is the current conflict and who does it effect?
'If a power is grabbing independent territory of the Border Coalition ...' Does this cover every single player group no matter what the minor faction government type? For instance will communism interstellar and the mercs assist a democracy based on their borders for example?
What exactly do you mean by grabbing? Do you mean preparing and expanding there through power play or as any player faction might do through expansion, civil wars and system flipping?
Are player factions immune but only power play powers resisted?
If this thing becomes a power does that not mean that the independent identity of the minor factions and their different polictal frame works will be erased?
To some this comes across as a wanna be power being divisive. What guarantees can you give them that no back room deals are being made or have ever been requested? Forinstacne have you asked any power to assist you in secret with your goals?
If this thing becomes a power what government type will it have?
To some this just sounds like the Alliance which already exists. So what's the difference?
'If you are a freedom fighter please contact Walt Kerman' If a player were to say Waly I am a freedom fighter and my faction is being attacked by powers can you please destory all major powers , even though unlikely would you attempt it or just pick on the small powers?
What make you think that freedom fight have faith and certainty in this thing as the very first battle with Archon was lost ?
Note at the time of writing these questions the Mercs lost Wadir even after calling in back-up to the Archon power and are currently fighting off his current expansion in to their home system where archon is not putting in any effort at all. 1190 merits on the attack (20000 is a fairly normal figure) vs 11730 on defence.
Have the mercs been solid been put in place or struck a deal with the pirate lord?
