Yes, I'm quite familiar with that part of the lore, having cited that exact Lodestone thread elsewhere. My point was that this group needs to be careful to not start claiming authority over or inherent membership by other miqo'te because they happen to be of the same larger tribe. Let's assume for the sake of argument that this group decides to go with the viper tribe (L). There's two ways this can be done that's fair and considerate to other players:
- The group is a branch of the viper tribe (a subtribe, one might say?), in the manner you quoted
- The group is a cross-cutting organization -- a club, of sorts -- that's open to all miqo'te of any branch of the viper tribe
I'm just trying to put my two cents in on considerate RP when people start wanting to build IC organizations that are bound directly to lore and might impact others' RP.
I completely agree with you two, which is partly why I came up with much more of a "Miqo'te Alliance" than anything else. I don't feel the need to beat a dead horse and Freelance continues to express my feelings in words I couldn't seem to find, so I'll leave it at that.
