might be a bit of the "Bad Guys" problem.

Like, the PF is full of things like the illegal slavers, which take slaves from worlds outside the Empire (which the Emperor prohibited). And the Holders that knowingly purchase those illegal slaves (falsifying paperwork, which is also an Imperial Crime). And many other such things.

But no-one wants to play the Bad Guy roles, and there's no isk to be made doing them.

So no-one does them. Which leaves other players in a bit of an awkward situation.

Like... being anti-Blood Raider, when there's no active Blood Raider players (in an absolute sense, or just in your timezone).

I would love to see something like the Defiants and Bloody Fists of Matar or such get going again. Doesn't fit Casiella IC but it would really rock. "By any means necessary," sort of.

How would you even go about doing such? And if you did manage, it would be fairly easy to 'hide' it from other RP-ers. Doesn't offer sufficient points of interaction.

As for Mizhara, you might join EM and convince some to become 'the sword' more?

We are pretty easy to convince if it is "I want to organize more of X", but as a word of warning, someone joining and staring to go "we should X", meaning pretty much "you should organize X for me", during their first weeks can meet... some cultural resistance. To put it nicely. ;)

*chuckles*

Miz in EM? Don't see that happening. From an IC point of view, EM is protecting Empire loyalist war criminals from facing justice. Not to mention the poor first impression that indicated EM were willing to collaborate even with the Nation, the only faction in Eve worse than the Empire when it comes to things like slavery. Oh, and the bit where Miz was inches from being red to EM doesn't help.

Purely IC view, just so it's said.

I've got a couple of balls in the air, juggling a little. Where they land, we'll see.
