Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction:

• The usual crime would still occur. Due to the thoughts of diplomacy in the faction, we will be encouraging weekly trades of drugs, firearms and other services we can possibly provide such as people for security, event organization and creating catalogs for items in other factions.
  
• Through the front business, Wonkaland, we aim to stimulate casual citizen roleplay that both regular citizens and hardened criminals can have fun with. This includes, but is not limited to: an established boxing circuit with a real time ranking system, a public paintball league with Kill/Death tracking for showing off to your friends, game shows like Family Feud and Deal or No Deal, etc.
  
• Due to the background of our group, we will also engage heavily with Cult-based roleplay. Just as we socialize and commit to Southside's atrocities in the day, in the night do we allow ourselves to be absolved of our sins through the glory of the Ruain Collective.
  
• Aside from our front business, during the day regular sermons will be held in order to bring people into the fold, even as honorary members. Even when the Church is occupied, we will do our best to spread the good word once or twice a week in public gatherings and allow others to bask in the glory of the Ruain Collective.
  
• Aside from our front business, during the night we will host feasts and music nights. Due to our Wonkaland connections with boxing, we will also have public fighters for our entertainment while we wine and dine.
  

Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above):
Wonkaland

• A boxing circuit with a ranking system based on wins and losses, persisting based on character

The Ruain Collective: Day & Night Socializing

• Daytime sermons in City Hall and various locations we can publicly gather in order to spread the word to those not yet awakened to their role in the Collective
  
• Nighttime feasts and music to create connections and make merriment with friends and allies alike
  
• Working as a group to move to other events made by other people in order to make them feel truly alive

+1 - Generally, a good application that's something a little different and has potential.

PRO
- Diversity
- Backstory is well thought out and there is potential to create RP from it
- Well written and enjoyable read
- I quite like the 'cult' aspect of it

CON
- Low playtime
- Although I enjoy the 'cult' aspect of your faction app, I'd be worried that this will end up struggling with the 'Mafia' aspect of the servers design, and you will fall into the same traps as other factions of being mundane and unoriginal, but if you can push the RP of it - it would be fun.

[Lemon]

+1 - Good application, good lore, seems like it would be some interesting roleplay

[Epic]

+1 - It's an incredibly creative idea that seems like it would really spice up the servers RP; the application itself is very well made, the lore included

[AbbieApple]

+1 - These ideas and the application seem well thought out. I feel as though it could bring some really intriguing RP to this server. I particularly love the day and night socializing aspect, it sounds great for the community and connections.

As someone who has been known to say this on multiple occasions throughout the servers history… Fuck the Irish. -1

[DuckVader]

-1, The Southside of New York does not need a cult, (Irish version of Nation of Islam and look how that worked out)

[Creambru]

+1 very well written backstory my only concern is if founding members can keep up the intricate  gameplay aspects such as hosting all these regular  events you plan to host, aswell if more members that can be brought on and committed to the RP and keeping the faction interesting and alive

[Rae2quick]

-1 not enough active members just going to be another faction holding a property that could go to someone who will actually use it
