Due to incompetent leadership, of which I am partly to blame, and unheeded warnings, the Aoi recently lost their official status. All factions were told to use a tag from now on. While it was debated in the Aoi High Command chat often, a consequences on weather of not we should tag all ships was never made. Due to this failing of our own, the admins saw fit, and rightfully so, to revoke our status due to us having a mere 12 hours of activity.
The admins had every right to revoke our status. We were all informed of the new rules and guidlines when it came to faction activity. Through a nauseating display of gross negligence, the issue wasnt addressed properly by our high command.
While this may be so, I would like to share with you the facts of our true activity:
All ship info was obtained with the exception of IKN-Kawa.no.Chi, IKN-Munashii, and Pythia (my personal learner that was made not too long ago) from the Aoi Iseijin router. One which I can't edit.
It is my hope, that if admin team would consider, given the facts, giving the Aoi another chance. We made a mistake, a big one. I hope that, given a second chance, the mistakes that lead up to this happening can be rectified, leadership revamped, and new life breathed into our faction. I understand if you do not, it is only logical that you wouldnt, but laying the bare facts down in front of you, we can only wait for your judgment on the matter and hope that you can consider giving our faction a second chance it deserves.
-P.S. It should be noted that Akura is STILL NOT a member of Aoi high command, nor is he the faction leader of the Aoi.
Okay, we'll consider this and make a decision. I expect it'll take a little time to discuss. To uninvolved people, please don't post in this thread, there's enough information here and we will contact the AI if we have questions.

The faction was disbanded because of the following:
' Wrote:Faction Statuses Revoked
113th (Aoi Iseijin)
June 29 2011 - (failed to generate sufficient activity)
Lobster just showed that the actual faction activity is in fact more then the minimum of 30 hours. If the inactivity was the reason for the disbanding, why wasn't this decision reversed based on Lobsters "proof"? I'm trying to understand the reasoning here, because I honestly don't.
And that was a clear mistake on their sides, they chose the wrong tag obviously. However, it was also clear from the start that this faction also has a lot of untagged ships, that certainly are part of the faction. They can't be seen as indies, because they have the Wild ID. The difference with most other factions is, that this one can't exist without official status. Is such a bureaucratic rule really enough reason to disband a faction? Even after proof that the faction itself actually has enough activity if you include the untagged characters?
The faction made a mistake, sure. Thats why they were disbanded in the first place. But even after specific reconsideration while presented with evidence to back their activity up?
Sure, rules are rules. But rules are there for a purpose, and that purpose should't be DISBANDING factions because of a mistake with the tag.
