the idea is good. - and what i like most about it... a fair approach towards the new factions. ( especially when they ask themselves why get i rejected when an old faction is basicly the same .... well, in terms of how carried away the ideas are )
what i am concerned about is - no matter how hard you try to keep it civil, - there will be hard feelings. it allready starts when someone utters "darkwing" - without a proper and plausible explanation behind that comment.
what i d wish it to become is a constructive discussion - which involves constructive critizism but also open minded factions. - its not a one way road to go. old habits won t die easily, but the factions must be up to make sometimes drastic changes which will often lead to extreme limitations. if everyone is up for that, - it may turn out to be beneficial. - if even some are not up for it.... it ll rather turn into a detrimental flaming with some "new enemies" afterwards.
edit: and what counts more - a few selected comments and votes? - or the majority of the server. in both cases it does not grant you a fair or "good" result.
