With Black Sails and Benitez being unofficial, do I understand TBH is the last official Sair faction? Who's the TBH leader, btw?
We could stay official but to what end?
As was stated in the original post the game has changed from when the majority of Benitez first started to play. It has a more PvP bias and that has been enough to put some Benitez players off from playing Disco all together - not just as Benitez.
The PvP bias is not a "bad" thing, but neither is it the environment into which Benitez was born.
We felt it was better to step down and to allow some other group to perhaps take over and to play in an environment that they enjoy and to develop the Corsairs in such a way that it was more suited to the current enviroment. Holding on to our Official status for the sake of it is not fair on the Community, or the Benitez members who would be expected to put in the work to maintain it.
I don't believe that as a group we have any particular issues about the way the mod has developed although as individuals there is a wide range of opinions.
We also have other gaming interests (as well as FL), and truthfully we are currently putting more effort into those other games/interests.
With regard to the Corsair Council I believe that it does still technically exist, and that technically Benitez still hold seats on it. At some point we will need to have a chat with the TBH and the Benitez members to determine whether in the first instance the TBH would like us to retain a seat(s?) on the Council, and secondly to determine who within Benitez actually might want the job.
Historically, the Corsair Council has not been made up of just members of Official factions, and has included a number of Indies sitting alongside the Officials - I have no idea if that made the Corsairs unique but it made sense that the Indies had a say and an opportunity to put the Indie point of view.
