Rule Proposal for Individuals Creating New Clans

[Jinx]

voted "no", of course. official factions have: ( dammit, i m too predictable )

being part of a faction does not grant you a greater insight into how disco works. making the faction creation harder is a stupid thing to do. - why?

- there were recent discussion about cutting independent rights on the server... and now you wonder everyone wants to make a playerfaction?
- playerfactions ensure a greater control over the faction and its members. - being official means, there is a person that is responsible, a person you can talk to if things get messy. so - having more playerfaciotns around means that not only more people use the forum, but also that problems can be solved with the faction or its representatives itself, rather than a general "complaint" thread about the nasty independents.

forcing players into a faction before they can make their own can backfire. how long must a player be member of a faction? - a specific time?, must he be active? active in groups, in the forum, or just be there? and how does it help.

making a faction is allready a difficult thing to do. - posting the ideas officially, getting torn to bits if the idea is a little out of the ordinary - and i don t see many of the previously presented factions being created - except those of the "established" members. - but i don t think they are approved cause the members have been members of other playerfactions - but only cause they have a good "base" of supporters and - yes... know what ideas are not "worth" posting. ( like feline aliens, cybernetic lifeforms, or other whatever aliens with godlike powers )

personally, i don t like every faction there is - most ( and i admit - most unofficial factions ) are plainly stupid, some official factions are silly, too. - but if the majority of the server accepts them, its fine. one can and should deal with it in RP. - in worst case - create an enemy char to that factions and give them hell.

i say - leave it as it is. factions are posted officially, - if the idea is bad, it will get shot down. if - however, the overall resonance is positive, i don t think there should be restrictions made to forbid those facitons. keep it simple.
