My thoughts concerning factions/Indies and other such stuff.

[bluntpencil2001]

I believe that one of the reasons for which people dislike the monolithic control certain factions exert is that their leaders, heads-of-state, et cetera got there by virtue of 'getting there first'.

With some decent RP to begin with, they can effectively position themselves as the leader of a whole nation, who is also invincible and irremovable (since other folk can't kill the character off), so that not only are they the nation's leader, but they are so permanently.

This is a large responsibility, which has thankfully not been abused... although the possibility is there for bad results.
