The Lane Hackers, Faction Proposal

[Xoria]

I have revamped the career advancement criteria. Thank you for all of the input about that. The original post has been edited to reflect the new criteria. The OLD criteria is presented below for comparison.
Any thoughts?
Also, I don't have time today to deal with all of the diplomatic critiques that are being presented, but they are all reasonable and helpful. I will be addressing them soon. I may be making our official faction post before they are completely changed to their final status, but I don't think there are any extraordinary problems with them for the time being. I will be creating an official LH diplomatic thread, so any differences can be hammered out with RP negotiations as well.
Thank you for all of the critiques. They have been extremely helpful to me!
Now what do you think about the new career path? [in original post now]
