| Message | OOC: Eredian, it would be good for you to create an RP reasoning for why your party opposes Felinism. Its a valid RP stance, but it seems OOC the way it is right now without an IC motivation for your party. Given the Barmenian culture's worship of cats, it would be good for your party's characters to explore their reasoning for opposing Felinism. You used to have a party in Gaduridos before the Union Socialism Alliance (of the Alliance of Terran Republics) took over there, right? Since the Libertarian Alliance of Cats has traditionally been aligned with the Union Socialism Alliance, perhaps your characters' story could be that they moved to the Feline Homeland in an attempt to get revenge on the Libertarian Alliance for the Libertarian Alliance's meddling in Gadurian politics. That could be a fun story. |
