Random What If: Abolishing the "Official Faction"

[Karst]

Well, yes, in a way that is indeed what this would mean. This is sort of the reason why, actually.
Instead of people arguing how changes influence their faction and their ambitions, they would be forced to work with the tools they are given. Because for some reason the position of an official faction has become a seat of power and one that brings a huge amount of drama. One that a non-staff member should have never had on Disco in the first place.

In 2016 we are in a community where the title of a faction leader is translated to not the ability, but a RIGHT to drive the progress of said faction, regardless of those around them.

Imho, players should not have any ''rights'' to anything. They should instead humbly present their RP abilities so that their ideas are viewed upon by the staff and then implemented if they are deemed to be a positive impact on the game environment.

I cannot even put into words what an awful approach this is. In case you weren't aware, official faction leaders generally assume their position because they care and know about the faction. Leading a faction is hard work, and that you're just telling us that "haha no you shouldn't have influence, some random other person who might have nothing to do with the faction should!" is plain stupid.
You're trying to ruin factions, ruin the efforts of those that lead them. I can't believe you're actually seriously suggesting this.
