Q4 2025 Parole

[Deity]

I completely understand where you’re coming from, and I want to say upfront that the intention behind this rework is clear and reasonable. Wanting tangible proof of activity beyond simple login time makes sense, especially if official factions are meant to be a leading example and tied to expanded perks and responsibilities.

I also agree that asking for an update once every three months isn’t an unreasonable demand in itself, and it’s fair to say that this should be a shared responsibility within a faction, not just on one person. The fact that staff want to engage with this as well, rather than just enforce it from above, definitely matters and is appreciated.

My concern isn’t about refusing standards or effort, but more about accessibility and sustainability for smaller or lower-population factions. Writing and RP were indeed enjoyed years ago, but the overall environment and player numbers have changed, and that naturally affects how much output can realistically be produced. Lowering the activity threshold slightly (for example, allowing 2 days of visible activity to count) could help ensure factions aren’t punished for circumstances outside their control, while still keeping the system meaningful.

I respect the push to restore value and credibility to OFs, and I agree they should be worth something again. The direction is understandable and largely positive — I just hope there’s room for some flexibility so the standards encourage engagement rather than quietly filtering out otherwise healthy factions.
