Gas Guzzlers

### Objective

Hold Fort Kilmister and protect its storage of petrol,seize any fossil fuel possible, or buy it cheaply just to sell it at a high price, do anything to maintain monopoly on fuel in the No Man's Wasteland, retake the road to Albuquerque to continue the Eternal Exodus

### Enemies

The Patriotic Front

*"A more sophisticated raider gang of nomadic bikers, desperate to win monopoly on fossil fuels on the wastelands, trying to hunt down every vehicle they can find in order to rob it off precious petrol to sell at a ridiculously exaggerated price, or fuel their vehicles on the eternal exodus through the wastelands of war-torn America. Unfortunately the deplorable state of the roads in No Man's Wastelands' region, and Loyalist lockdown of Interstate I-Y on the way to Albuquerque forced them to abandon their bikes. They bunkered down south of Quintana, behind the sturdy walls of the fort they built from scrap and pieces of vehicles, serving them as a fuel depot, vantage point against petrol-powered vehicles passing through, and a forward operating base against the Loyals. Regularly forming war parties against nearby locations, Guzzlers themselves occasionally deal with counter-attacks, but no matter how many of them die on the highways, new groups of bikers keep flowing to the fort from the South, powering their ranks anew."*

## Guidelines

* There's no particular rank system or one definite leader of Gas Guzzlers. Instead, they have several so called "Ridemasters" commanding separate squads of Guzzlers within the gang.

* Game staff have precedence in leading the faction and its squads, in order to organize and moderate the roleplay better. Thus, their characters can be higher in hierarchy in-game than other Ridemasters in the server.

* Locations raided and seized by Guzzlers in roleplay, remain under its control only on the server the raid takes place in, or until someone else recaptures them in RP on the same server.

* Generally in roleplay, Gas Guzzlers should prioritize fuel cans in gameplay, with anything else as a secondary or minimum priority

* Since there is no particular rank system for Guzzlers below Ridemaster, it can be assumed all Guzzlers besides Roadmaster and above are the same rank, separated only by different squads and ruthlessness

* As a Guzzler, because of the Loyal-Guzzler conflict it is advised to openly dislike/attack Patriotic Front roleplayers to pertain to the lore.

* Guzzlers are a biker gang, so they wear biker associated clothing like leather jackets, bandanas, and the such.

* Since it has not been disclosed how Guzzlers rank up in the hierarchy, it can be assumed that either they turn in gas for rewards or are promoted based on how ruthless they are. Keep in mind though that admins have final say in managing Guzzlers and ranks so make sure to ask an admin if you can be a rank before doing so.

* Not all Guzzlers are friends, so don't expect other Guzzlers to be friendly towards you unless acquainted.

## Trivia

* They are the first faction to possess operational vehicles.

* The Gas Guzzlers could be based on the Great Khans from Fallout New Vegas given the biker esque clothing and being "civilized" raiders. Though, Great Khans more or so manufacture their product rather than buy and sell it for inflated prices. Their base, Fort Kilmister also resembles the Great Khans encampment in the Grand Canyon.

* A Gas Guzzler in the real world is a vehicle that consumes a large amount of fuel to run at one time, making the owner have to purchase high amounts of gas to keep it running, I.E. Gas Guzzling. In 1977 there was a tax imposed for using, manufacturing, and selling these vehicles established by the U.S. congress called "The Gas Guzzler Tax". This was put in place to discourage the above.
