' Wrote:Blame the official faction for having too much power over independent RP. This is what happens when a player faction of 20 people present themselves as the Whole faction, instead of a small group.
The problem with not allowing official factions to have influence over entire faction RP is that you then leave the whole of story telling to the writers and no one who is actually in these factions has much of a say in what happens storywise. Official factions, though they have their bad points are the best thing we have at the moment for players to be able to influence overall disco RP. Obviously then though you have the problem that some official factions are not well managed and do not have the right goals in mind (according to the rest of the community that is), but since they're the ones representing those factions, they are ultimately who should make decisions on what their faction does. When these 'bad' factions spring up that is when writers and admins may have to step in to set them straight.
The problem with involving EVERYONE under a certain ID in their IDs faction RP is that you obviously have the guys who will misuse IDs and possibly ruin faction relations with other factions.
