Nova's Gone?

[sovereign]

While the NovaPG are still rooted in the area, jurisdiction of Chugoku and the Blood Dragon guard system belongs to the Hideyoshi's Guard.

<history lesson>

To explain how that works, the leadership of the NovaPG shifted to Exile, who, after awhile, renamed the faction to the Hideyoshi's Guard and started a shift toward more vanilla-style Blood Dragons. Exile paid for the NCCs of any who wanted to stay, and those who didn't want to stay left the faction previously known as the NovaPG. However, they kept their characters and names, reforming the old style of the NovaPG while technically being a funny sort of splinter group. The HG, being the same faction entity endorsed by admins by right of faction leader, retained official control of the Blood Dragon guard system and roleplay control of the Chugoku system.

After a bout of relative NovaPG inactivity, someone mentioned the NovaPG not being official anymore since by rights of faction leader control the entity endorsed by admins had renamed itself. A rather hot bunch of politics ensued, and it ended with SilentAssassin posting a thread in faction creation requests to put themselves back on the official list again.

Hope that answers your question.
