"For he today who sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother"
~ a commonly heard Rebel quote.
The Rebel Faction provides for a way for players to simply log on and play their role of pirate, rogue, mercenary
or any other form of outlaw under a uniting \'bad guy\'-tag, without having to bother with the time-consuming commitments of a real clan
such as having to play according to elaborate clan rules, claimed system politics, system maintenance duties, reporting back to the clan leader, etc.
The Rebels is about HAVING FUN.[/align]
Short RP description:
The Rebel Faction is the largest gang of (human) criminals known to the EvoVerse. The disorganized character of the faction caused by the various natures of its members, the lack of a regulated command structure, an almost complete absence of infrastructure and steady property, the total disregard for laws and the utter aversion and grudge every Rebel member has against the established system of governments and large companies, makes the Rebel faction extremely dangerous and illusive at the same time.
With no clear leadership to apply political pressure on, no property to destroy and no official territory to attack, the Rebel faction remains an ever threatening and intangible presence in the EvoVerse.
Clan Guidelines:
Please note:
The guidelines below are more common sense than anything else and they should come natural to anybody. As such, it shouldn't be necessary to actively enforce them.
However, if I were to receive complaints about any Rebel behavior and it is clear to me that the guidelines below have not been respected, the clan member in question will receive a u2u with the request to leave the Rebels. I will then also inform the server administrators that the member in question is not supposed to fly with the [X] tag any longer, and ask them to take appropriate measures if they are spotted doing so regardless.
There will be no warnings or second chances. As noted, it shouldn't be necessary to put up these rules in the first place.
Anyone who isn't able to play by these guidelines, shouldn't be in the Rebels.
- As a Rebel member, you (like everyone else) are expected to play by the written server rules.
It is however completely up to each individual Rebel member whether or not to follow the unwritten rules (what some refer to as 'gentleman's agreements').
Some players may see ignoring the unwritten rules as bad sportsmanship, but the intention of the Rebels is to kick up some dust. Not many real life criminals would hold any value to gentleman's agreements and unwritten rules, and so seeing the role the Rebels play, neither will they.
Rebel members are encouraged to use any valid excuse to justify any in-game action within the server rules, as long as your actions contribute positively to the gaming experience of yourself and other players. - Show respect and be polite to others at all times, anywhere.
Mind your behavior and your choice of words. Chatting in a disrespectful manner ingame, using disrespectful or in any way offensive language on this forum as well as other forums will make the Rebels as well as this entire community look bad to the readers. - The first and foremost reason for the existence of The Rebel faction is to have fun.
In everything you do, keep this in mind. If whatever you do as a Rebel reduces the fun you or other players have in playing the game, you might be in the wrong clan. - All Rebel members are asked to take the points mentioned below into account.
- The Rebels have no recruitment criteria.
Any player may simply add '[X]' in front of their character name so they can be recognized as a Rebel and they are good to go.
Although not mandatory, I would appreciate it if players who decide to join the Rebels left a note in this thread saying that they have joined. - The Rebels do not have a structure or hierarchy like normal clans.
There is no clan leader who barks order around, and every member is allowed to make his own decisions within the server rules and the clan spirit.
As the clan initiator I may occasionally make efforts to steer the Rebels in a certain RP direction in regards to other clans or even close a temporary alliance with another clan, but it will always be up to any member's own discretion whether or not to follow these.
Please note that as the clan leader I do hold the final responsibility over the Rebels and their behavior and if the need arises, I will take appropriate measures. - The Rebels do not pay allegiance to any organisation but their own.
They do not hold alliances with any other faction or clan, nor do they take any specific political standpoint. They are an independent, yet incoherent outlaw organization and operate as such. - The Rebels do not and will not claim any territory as their own, ever.
Rebel stations may be built anywhere and rumors may indicate that some systems may have an increased Rebel presence, but the Rebels will never officially claim any territory as their own. - Following the previous point, the Rebels do not and will not occupy themselves with maintaining percentages.
The reasons for this are:- Such territorial behavior reflects a level of organization that does not fit the disorganized nature of the Rebels;
- It prevents that Rebel members have to dedicate (part of) their playing time to system maintenance instead of having fun, and
- It prevents bad feelings, tension and ultimately aggravation when property (ie ingame stations) gets destroyed or percentages get dropped or even turned around by the actions of another clan.
- As follows, the Rebels do not have any official headquarters.
Stations that are utilized as 'temporary headquarters' / 'main deployment base'/ whatever may be built, destroyed and rebuilt anywhere at any time. - Every Rebel is free to build Rebel Outposts where-ever he pleases and for whatever reason.
Please always make sure you name them '[X] Rebel Outpost'.
If you build a new Outpost, please make sure you also build a Research Station close by to increase the tech level on the Outpost.
