The Kusari Exiles

[Tanker]

I wasn't aware any of them were in a position of attempting to create additional factions to add to their list?

Phantoms, IND, TBH, Farmers, Samura, Kusari as a whole, Ronin. If I'm getting them all Most of those factions have maintained either long periods of steep decline or died off entirely under your leadership, or part of your leadership, as you put it. For the sake of argument let's state that the reasons for those periods of decline could be attributed to your considerable real life and administrative demands coupled with, if I'm not mistaken, an imminent international move.

Tl;dr: Given the broad pedigree of factions you're currently sitting in the high chair of and many of their lapses in activity, yeah, I think it's a worthwhile point to bring to the table.

Coming in on the tail end of the discussions, I am going to throw alittle info in as well. We'll start with the IND.
It was myself that was incharge of the IND untill Fellow Hoodlum returned from his extended lunch. Zelot was there to assist me because I asked him to. I won't say that running two factions is an easy job. It isn't.
I will also agree to an extent with the comments regarding that if you are a strong leader the faction will succeed. But this is not always true. One person doesn't make a faction. It does require like minded individuals to make it work, or no matter what the faction leader says or does will make a difference.

While I know that Zelot has always been partial to Kusari, and here is the thing that needs to be asked in my mind.

Why does it matter who will be leading this faction in the first place? Basically, we'll know if it succeeds or not. Again, does it matter who is in charge of it?
