Please explain the GÇ£relevancyGÇ¥ of wormhole organizations. There seems to be a large number of individuals who make note of the GÇ£irrelevancyGÇ¥ of particular groups within Anoikis, however it seems to be an odd notion. What dictates relevancy in a community of individuals?
In a wormhole, GÇ£comfortableGÇ¥ alliance/corporate size is determined by your individual infrastructure and limited by roles, number of moons, and stuff. Technically, those limits only apply to groups that forego caution and are fine with spies, thieves, and internal strife. Also, economic restrictions inhibit the infinite expansion of an organization without occupying multiple wormholes, or dedicating alternate corporations, or wormholes for expos. That said, your relevancy in the wormhole is limited to your corporation or alliance, or in some odd cases, the various residents in the same wormholes.
That can change ofcourse. Alliances split, evictions occur, coups are staged, and drama inevitably happens. Now, your relevancy is extended to the shards that break apart, only if anyone in the shards is interested in your progression. Sometimes that interest is not friendly in nature and that could lead to conflict, which would mean relevance to those who monitor the wars within Anoikis. Then your relevancy can be dictated by the number of people interested in your stories as you progress in your community.
That aside, we arenGÇÖt null sovereignty. We donGÇÖt, for the most part, have coalitions. We have friends in some cases, and definitely have many enemies, if you are doing it right. What makes some of the groups in Anoikis feel that they are more GÇ£relevantGÇ¥ than other organizations? Is this about being GÇ£likedGÇ¥ or GÇ£popularGÇ¥? Is this related to some draw to feel exclusive, cool, or edgy?
Other than the drama/meta aspect leading to some notoriety, it would seem most GÇ£relevancyGÇ¥ between members in this community should extend about the lifespan of a wormhole.
The distinction is very easy, if you live, rat or hunt in w-space you are relevant. Yeah, we might come across each other fairly rarely but if you are out there and we do come across each other then we instantly provide content. That is the key, providing content to each other. No matter who it is in this game everyone lives for the same idea, content made by players. Yeah, some do it by building massive sov blocks, others just camp gate, but no matter what it is and how you do it, its content. You become relevant as soon as you generate it for w-space.
Which brings me onto my most important point, you are relevant in w-space as soon as you start making content there. In w-space. W-Space. Not wormholes, or wormholes space, or unknown space or u-space and most certainly not Anoikis. Only scrubs live in Anoikis, and they are definitely irrelevant. |
