Del, I understand that we have dusty's faction example, and many examples of what not to do, but how to reconcile those two sided would be very hard without some codified standards to hold factions to. I would suggest at this point, using what you said previously we would do when these reviews got to heated, lets take a few days off, let Del, put some more concrete ideas into his proposal, and then we come back and give a fair look at what he is proposing, but Del, I really don't see how this would work, unless the standards are written down for all to see and measure themselves against. I just tried to put together a list I would use, and found it very difficult. Aside from making sure ships and weapons are in RP, it is hard to go beyond that. AW for instance are supposed to be Zoners, but they have closer ties to the outcasts, and are much more hostile to corsairs (Dab not a complaint just using as an example). Now I think that would come under alot of scrutiny if this proposal were to go through, but their diplomacy and how it differers from the rest of the Zoners has lead to many great RP stories over the time they have been around. Also, I dint know how we go about critiquing faction story lines, I'm mean we all now when their really bad, but aside from that it is sort of just up to peoples opinions and how can we objectively qualify what makes a good story for a faction? There are just to many hazy points in this proposal for me right now, Del, take some days work on it and then repost if you think you can clarify the standard we would use, and the process we would use to implement those standards.
