Why is it no against the rules for 1 person to be leader of more than 1 official ftcn

[Black Widow]

As long as a player faction fulfills their requirements (3 people/24h) there should be no one dictating them how they run themselves. The players created those, the players decide how they want to be run.

Quite simply you shouldn't be running two/three factions, you have H- (Unofficial), LPI and NC-: Of which you created / part of creating the NC-. So all the effort will be going into that faction and not the LPI which you inherited. As such LPI has been weaker and I do not seem them play much / have much impact ingame. So that just proves you cannot lead more than one faction effectively such that all factions you are involved with operate to the best of their ability. One or two will fall behind!

Well said, JW.

As Skorak said and Werd seconded, factions can lead themselves how they want, as long as the bare minimums are fulfilled, as the rules state.

However, other factions that want to interact / RP / plan events may not be happy with "the bare minimum" activity of an adjacent faction. One example (of many that could be used) is un Kusari; as @sindroms's derelict base event showed, plenty of KNF are out there (as they logged for the event), but they don't otherwise as there isn't enough activity from other factions.

It's always going to be unbalanced (just check the differences in hours logged in the Faction Tracker); there are no rules on how active you must be, and how much RP you must engage it.

If it's opportunity that's lacking, Skorak had it right as well: if you want to lead a faction, there are ways to do it, by starting a new one, resurrecting one, or taking a leadership role in an existing faction.

Just my 0.02 credits.

Bare minimums of server activity are not a justification for keeping a faction going! Running a grave yard shift so that your faction does not lose its official position is what is wrong with this server. Such an attitude stops others from stepping in and adding a fresh dimension to the operation and involvement of a faction and pushing it forward.

You will not get that kind of dedication from a faction leader running more than one faction.

My belief is that the rules should be tightened up around how factions operate officially and how they maintain that position.

Factions being carataker'd by multi-faction leaders should be stripped, to allow a new faction to take its place or a fresh leader found for the fledgling faction.

Rules surrounding officialdom and time frames to reach officialdom from initial faction creation requests should be eased up / shortened to allow the slots to be filled quicker. Quality of RP can still be assessed and then voted upon by admins just as they do now but it would happen faster.
