Rule 4.1

[MrCynical]

I see too many people calling scrap it with no reason following it.
I voted leave it.

Having multi faction characters causes a lot of issues...you think spies is bad?
Wait till one of your faction guys start syphoning your funds to some other faction.
Bad ? *Cough* some factions have shared accounts which are used by multiple players.
Lets say BOB gets hold of a Faction BS and uses the funds on it to create new traders for faction B.
You ok with that? How about BOB goes and defends his other faction with that BS.

OORP and metagaming can be sanctioned under other rules. This is about allowing people to join multiple factions without having to have multiple accounts. I mean, the Account Manager app was (as far as I'm aware) originally intended to allow shared 'flagship' accounts for factions e.g. the LSF's Goliath, and is now being used to get around a badly worded server rule.

If this is about stopping CHARACTERS being members of multiple factions - e.g. a character called Bob being a member of both the LSF and the Outcasts (which is what most of the 'keep it' people seem to have been concerned about) then the rule should be reworded to mean that. As it stands, it is a rule preventing people from RPing multiple identities, and is generally held in contempt through widespread use of FL Account Manager to get round it.
