You'll have to help me understand how a ''bunch of mutes'' is a polite way of referring to new people as you suggest we are.

Your initial faction thread seems only to confirm it.

I would like to know why have you commented so heavily on our thread from October when we've since made several more threads and a wiki page which have improved in quality substantially? Our improvement has not been commented on, we are now in December. We are obviously building on what we've made so this is an example of you purposefully commenting on older material which is quite disingenuous.

your attempts to actually use the wiki (nobody in $currentyear cares about the wiki).

So on one hand you claim we are new and we don't know lore. On the other hand, nobody cares about the wiki, which is outdated. How exactly is a player supposed to inform themselves on lore and learn if the wiki is outdated, the in-game information does not provide a complete picture. If your idea is to sift through thousands of threads and pages on the forum, that's just absurd.

Also your claim that we know nothing about lore is contradicted by the fact that you claim you have almost no interaction with us. I am not sure about how that snippet about us using the wiki (which is an excellent tool by the way), somehow devalues the work and effort put in.

From an operational and process perspective, updating and keeping a wiki up-to-date is by far the more effective method of dealing with information and its categorization.

It's inherently clear to me that you do not want new players to be empowered, to learn the lore, and improve. It's also clear that you have no regard for the population of the server.

There are overinflated claims in your request ("have organised an event" that's not yet happened

I've organized the event. Nothing overinflated - whether it happens is dependent on other groups as well and factors beyond me. Our numbers are not hidden - you can come on our discord and count the number of people. They are taken straight from Discord. You can also see our activity which is an unbiased source of info, we are the second highest group on the server, only behind the first one by a small margin for the last 3 months (36d 17:22:21). This is when keeping into consideration that we fly untagged ship as well a lot of the times.

Your goals are not precise.

A basic look at the information I've provided would give you a clear idea of what we are trying to achieve. There's even an NPOV statement provided, did you manage to read this?

You just give off the vibe that you are a group of players who want to play a video game together.

We are playing a video-game, this isn't a doctorate dissertation and we are not writing Macbeth here. This kind of mentality where you need to give off a specific vibe whilst playing a video game is the reason why the server population is so low. That and the occasionally extremely hostile reaction to new players from some people of the community. In this day and age, why does anyone have to commit years to ''show value'' - that's just really absurd.

Your feedback literally gives me nothing of value - you don't offer anything constructive. There's no substance. Not trying to be hostile, just being honest.

Have fun at your own pace.

Thank you! A valuable insight indeed, as it seems progress here is measured in years.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing what comes of this faction

Thank you for the kind words.

You can do whatever you want as a Corsair without official status. Have fun and best of luck.

We'll definitely keep this in mind, appreciated.

Maybe some people think and speak you are incomplete ,but i think you are capable enough to fill the holes others are mentioning
I wish you the best and hope to see you get officialdom
Its always good to see "new blood" o/

Thank you, will happily work on improving the gaps.

I've had the chance to speak directly with your leader on multiple occasions, and I have optimism for your faction given some minor corrective measures. I sincerely hope you're up to the responsibilities that follow official factions, and that you know that newbie training will make proper upkeep of those responsibilities that much more difficult.

Thank you, I am happy to review and read any supplementary information that would be of benefit. If you have the time and capacity, feel free to suggest anything, that would be great. Would be also interested in hearing what you think these corrective measures should be and we can move from there.
