Multiple factions work perfectly well with (primarily) the LN ID because oh god there's so many indies if they were all [LN] it'd be crazy. "We're not in Kansas any more", this is Kusari where, at least if you are serious (later, as you said) about becoming official then a large number of small groups doesn't or perhaps even cannot work in that capacity.
You've got some good experience from being [LN] leader, but don't take the super-activity of the house for granted when elsewhere. And this is coming from mainly a mega-miner and unique-badass-military faction player/leader... we sure can't do the same with the BPA.
Well, I do get what you're saying about the way things are in Kusari, I don't intend to be the "Most active" group of Dragons out here, and I've already started talking with the leader of WK|, which I think I mentioned but...my intent is to do things with them, that will see both of our groups cooperating and flying together, so as to boost the activity and visibility of both groups.
One other thing I'll say is that while there will obviously be similarities between this group and others, it is not an outright clone, and similarities aren't always bad, either.
BUT, One of the major differences between say, Watanabe Kazoku, and Katsuragi Bakufu, is that WK are oriented toward covert actions and subterfuge whereas my group is dedicated more toward Overt Military-style combat operations. At least, those are two major differences according to "faction info", and I believe that they -can- be played out in-game, and the nature of the two groups can be noticeably different, if it all plays out right, and people stick to what they've established as their "modus operendi".
In any case, I've mostly made this group for fun, as I said earlier, and not with the outright goal of seeking officialdom, this is just something I've wanted to try for a while, if we get noticed and whatnot, hey that's cool, if we get involved in cool roleplay situations, that's even cooler, and if it leads us to officialdom, sweet.
But again, I'm just in this for fun *shrug*
OH, and, Shogun 2 is great, I typically play FOTS, as Pro-Imperial clans. Point? xD
