Personally, I think this mod is in bad enough shape that we can throw rules and procedures out the window every now and then in order to do something to try to inject some life into this community.
It's hard to complain about something that should bring activity when activity spikes at around only 80 players these days.
Again, that's not the issue. Not in my book at least. The fact that it was done under the table is. Personally, if anyone had said they were just gonna make this faction official, bypassing the general rule, I would have had no complaints.
My understanding when we voted on this is that all infected factions would be merged into one faction, with one faction leader, Mwerte. The D9 group was to be absorbed by an already existing official faction, becoming a subgroup of said faction. They were not to be a separate and distinct official faction by themselves. I'm unsure why they are broken up like they are on the faction list. It could be that it is to show each of the subgroups area of origin.

Now that is something that makes me question the integrity of "getting officialdom" in Discovery RP 24/7
Supposed to be like, create a faction creation thread, get some feedback, and go through admins vote. Isn't it?
I'd just like to say that there are actually people out there - myself included - actually doing the pre-work to build a faction from the ground up. Seeing this kind of devalues that a lot.
While I have nothing against D9 or their RP or anything like that, I still feel cheated on some level. I thought that I had nowhere near enough activity to do this yet, being an Official faction is apparently a big deal here on GC and is one of the reasons I began working on my own factions. In this instance it appears it is really just matter of who you know.
I'm not going to say anything else but it's plain to see something isn't right here.
I think the faction missed one detail: They were shot by the =LSF= in Alaska sometime ago, and so we classified them as rogue, that was when the faction got recently made, you guys may want to do something about that. I'll provide the link to the message dump in a bit.
What Garrett said. Aoi and Wilde agreed on a merge, and just as the talks were going on, D9 showed up. They were offered to be part of the unified faction, thus earned officialdom.
Nothing strange. However the three 'subgroups' should be listed in a 'Wild' subforum next to K'Hara.

Then they should be sub group of Das Wilde, or K'hara or Aoi but a separate forum I didn't get that
You can ignore reality but you can not ignore consequences of ignoring reality
That's convinient, given that order no longer plays an active role in alaska. I have said this before and I would say this again, despite the relentless upper-case messages I get from people who go on to tell me that I'm wrong - Alaska had great potential and it is now a FOSSILIESED place. But, tha'ts my opinion.
Surely, only Nomad-related factions gets such good treatment. All other factions must play by the regular rules it seems. I do find this alarming, but nothing new.
