Having looked over previous roleplay, I've found that, yes, Jiyuuian dissatisfaction with Yamatai has been done. Additionally, it is both logical and unsurprising that the Jiyuuians, who had departed Yamatai previously due to dissatisfaction with the military and government, would continue to harbor the same feelings. This is also something that has been shown in RP, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were frustrated, angry or what have you considering their dreams were crushed by the Mishhu. Which, Yamatai was involved with creating. For this reason, the article is on reasonable ground. What this article still requires however, is a reduction in population - we're not rabbits even though some of us try to one up them - and additional detail regarding the Jiyuuians and their circumstances.
I would emphasize in the article that the population here consists of those who are clinging to their ideals particularly hard and do not wish to return to Yamatai. That would help to help explain why they're out here, and more details regarding the circumstances which lead them to go as far as cooperate with the Blacks would do the same as well. It's also a good idea to note how the destruction of the UOC influenced their attitudes as well. These are some ideas, but you get the point.
I'd like to see RP of this personally, based on the wikis and what RP I've ever known to suggest there wasn't anything sizable that was rowdy. This is also matched by the fact no territory that controls to Yamatai or Nepleslia was ever taken from them and a lack of rebellions.
I'd also like to point out that projects like the re-integration of Jiyuuians into Yamatai and the entire relocation efforts that took place for a very short time in Nepleslia all went successful. It's why there hasn't been any RP or Jiyuuians that were on their own since all of this. Even with a reduction in population, this party of people willing to betray their morals further (working with the Black Syndicate, for one) and yet still somehow have held a system for... 3 YE without IPG or SAINT discovering and making efforts to extinguish it?
This is a point that was similarly aimed at me when I created the BRR, as the Bernese Red Rebellion has always been asked "how it went unnoticed". I made direct notes to this to amend the issue (they'd been known but hadn't been militarized, along with having partially helped the Nepleslians upon landing via their old establishments being unintentionally useful). The Reds are an almost identical faction in their seldom/non-existent usage once they were basically added back into bigger groups. In that exact same regard, I again hope you will forward the RP and make direct references in the article as to how and where this group came from. If they're part of some pirate fleet that realized Yamatai would win entirely? I could maybe understand it once paired with a population drop. Because, even though it is pulling them from nowhere (until I've seen RP that suggests it's possible, I personally can't believe it exists), it would be explaining and putting at least some sort of answer to where they came from that at least isn't "Oh, well they existed."
Another thing I'm concerned about is the lack of mention about the Black Syndicate's numbers. How many of them exist in this system? Because while it is out of date,
their own wiki suggests they'd have nowhere near the amount of people to run their operations throughout Nepleslia. This also includes the sort of "homebase" they've established in
Fortuna, based on how they run a large legal gambling business there. Seriously, I don't know how this was looked over especially with the FM approval here. The Black Syndicate themselves would need updates (I would imagine) to their numbers and resources to handle an entire far-off system colonization. Being rich doesn't mean you have the manpower... and that's a big thing about the Syndicate. They'd need to have some legal window to utilize Zen Armaments (which I don't know why Zen Armaments alone would be able to explain setting up shop outside of Nepleslia due to the fact they're comprised of MANY Nepleslian manufacturers, but they do sell to other nations... so maybe there's a stretch?) to even remotely handle a system-wide colonization effort.
Sorry, but I've been sorta watching this (due in part to it being tied to Nepleslia via the Black Syndicate), and this has been stuff that hasn't really been addressed atop the lack of where this RP occurred. If it occurred, it needs to be brought out and shown, especially since this isn't just some new faction. These are factions that have existed and haven't been getting attention until just recently for what's been IC and OOC years. Even USO, for what I might not like in it, was able to RP and prepare footwork for everything they've got. There isn't really any for this, nor is there any readily presented old stuff to back this up. As a concerned member, I don't want people (even old members) to suddenly start pulling things out of thin air with supposed RP and "FM Approval on Skype" and that sorta stuff. It seems way too shady without anything being thrown up to back the idea, whether it's a good one or a bad one.
