"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[LoTeK_]

I see your point.

I do not.
I'm sorry to say it but I'm conservative here, full democracy is not the way to go.
Pay the 500mil, post your work for the community to see, comment and approve, then admin vote.
It's working good to me and I don't see a reason for a change.
I'm open to some interesting ideas I've read so far on the subject during these days but not on a full scale change like this, which would probably see me leaving my KNF Taishō rank to someone else as it would start to become too much time consuming compared to how already it is.

So you basically mean that it would be better to have all factions that go under the same NPC group to form a council that would then decide the course of action they should follow?
If so, it's a great idea that addresses a problem that is currently present on the server.
That would also give place to new RP opportunities, since there could be civil wars, splits, ingame and forumside council meetings, and a lot more things that do not happen often around here.

I don't find it a great idea because it's too much complex and reflect too much the burocracy issue largerly present in the real world, this is a game after all.
Fun should be the keyword, it does't have to become a work otherwise it's not fun anymore...given no one see a cent a part from donations that goes to the server maintainance and improvement.
Despite someone may say, leadership in the official factions and admins of this server are very sensible, and daily spend lot of time making RL sacrificies to keep up ideas/feedback/stories/whatnot, and it takes a lot...I can attest that.
They sometimes have to make a stand for the good of many, which can be seen as "powermongering" from the few but that's what also life is about...making choices.
Theres a said around my parts: you can't have the barrel full and the wife drunk.
