The Commune - (C~

[Sciamach]

Much as I'm really not one to talk in this situation: I gotta agree with Kaz here.

All of the rules line up and say you're all kosher as a faction, your in-game representation is solid and you do a good job with your activity- but I'm honestly seeing little difference in your actual MO than anything the Oracles do with marginal success at best, or anything Cross tried and failed to do. I love commune, I love flying with you guys, and I understand theres a good amount of backstory to what you're doing, but it's the same thing with the "separatist battlegroup" trope that keeps springing up: "religious outcast cult that are outcasts but at the same time aren't" isn't a trope thats represented in any meaningful way in your RP or via any outstandingly different quirk to your base lore.

Take that away and you have a marginally different version of the XTF - only with less PVP competency and more RP (Not a high bar to jump over, I realize.) Speaking from experience here: the religious outcast angle isn't one that sustainably works or is in any way vastly different enough from vanilla outcasts to really justify being considered your own thing. It's fun and leads to some great hilarity wherein you're taunting someone to fight you, only for a Marduk to decloak on their asses, but beyond that, you'd probably be better off retooling yourselves as more standard outcasts, just with more subtle religious leanings, rather than going full cult-status.

Just my opinion. As I said, I love you guys and wish you the best, but I feel your lore and concept isn't one that is sustainable or healthy within/to the server environment.

Best of luck with the vote though, I hope you guys can manage to prove me wrong ~<3
