So we face an interesting situation, and things have been so busy I haven't been able to explain it to you for a day or two.
Here's where we stand.
I'm reliably informed that the Republic's looking for any possible excuse to invade Fringe. That includes us invading OP as planned, whether or not OP is cool with us invading (which they are). Bit of a pickle.
Because of the Republic's efforts to cut off all the other factions and break as many of them as possible, TGE is asking for a mutual defense pact here.
During the Battle of Kayri, Ashin basically told Ayden that he was doing the Republic's dirty work for them, and gave him some proof. It seriously shocked him IC, and IC, OP won't be bothering us again - though invading them in retaliation for Kayri is still on the table.
I'm cool with getting invaded by the Republic. I'd just like to, you know, earn it first, or have it be for a valid reason. That, and I'm not wild about their 'annihilate stuff' direction. This is, by all measures, the most unified and OOC positive faction around. We're the first faction to ever invite someone to invade us just so everyone could have something to do. We also try pretty hard to be accepting and educational for new players. If Fringe dies, it won't be the 'it's MINE' part of me that's sad, it'll be the part of me that doesn't like seeing something worthwhile get broken for no reason.
That said, there's a school of thought that says the Republic's coming for us no matter what we do, and so we should just do whatever we want and stand up to them when they show. We've got as many Masters as they do, for one, and I suspect we'd have more friends. But all of this is up in the air.
Discuss. We faction admins could use some fresh insights. This is all in the last couple of days, and it's a bit of a puzzler.
