Someone should recruit the new people too. I think that an unofficial faction is perfect for people who can't RP yet, making it easier for them to learn. Another BW's faction, the 13th Fleet, helped me learn some basics. When it became too basic for me, I left it and joined the BRF| and then the BAF|. In my opinion, every House should have a beginner faction which helps you get around, and an official faction, which you join when you do get around and the beginner faction becomes too tight for you.
I approve when anyone helps newbies. The GRN| don't seem to like it a lot and I'm too busy doing it in Bretonia, so Gallia really needs such a figure. Kudos for this, @Royal Navy Foreign Legion.
