Bring back faction activity checks

[Lythrilux]

Bring back faction activity checks!
They were the only thing that motivated factions to try and maintain a consistent logging time. With this gone, we've seen a decrease in the presence of factions on the server, which in turn means less players are logging onto the server.

If we bring this back, give current factions a month of time to build their presence back up again. I agree that doing a faction activity check whilst some factions haven't logged on (due to having no forceful push to keep them logging) would be cruel as they haven't had a chance to build up their activity again.

People may say disco is dying therefore a faction activity check is pointless. That's still no excuse to maintain a lazy attitude when player factions are meant to be representing NPC factions and maintaining a good standard. And if you don't want to log, then you should part from your officialdom. As harsh as it sounds, it's the ugly truth.

Why faction activity checks were removed in the first place was beyond me, clearly this change hasn't had a constructive impact on the community and the mod in general.

Because forcing factions to log time ingame to meet an arbitrary requirement regardless of whether they enjoy logging said time or not will really solve the problem. No it won't. You can't force people to log.

I was going to remind admins to do that at each 1st day of the month. Not to be a dick, but to either filter dead factions or motivate to play a bit.

Fun fact: Did you know that [RM] has only 2:33 minutes logged?

The problem is that activity checks won't kill only Bowex or VWA, but will also result in deletion of GRN, [RM] and some other important factions. Basically, who will be in charge for entire house if GRN will be gone? Noone.

This's the reason why admins are not introducing them back.

How can one represent whole house while not being in game in the first place is beyond my comprehension.

It's only 5 people with 1 hour each per 30 days. That's like... Nothing.

So?

Can't keep the activity up, can't keep the privileges of being the official faction.

Funny thing is, laws are nor priviledge, nor right for official factions.

In the OP I said they should give factions a month to build their activity back.

You still need 5 people to log, which's many.

Can't keep the activity up, can't keep the privileges of being the official faction.

You don't get my concern. Who will RP goverment instead of them?

Most of factions are unable and unwilling to build their activity back

Who is RPing Rheinland government now? Or Kusari for that matter?
