"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[pbrione]

LeMaitre, the idea is that if there is an Official Faction currently but yet another wants to be Official too, they can't be since it's a 1 horse town for a few NPC factions currently. Or there are multiple groups wanting to be Official for the same NPC faction.

I do not think that there is currently anything preventing a second faction from arising for those npc factions where multiple player factions is relevent. But frankly for some groups such as House Millitary / Police it is simply not workable, unless the factions work in seperate geographical regions (limiting to RP). Otherwise you will simply have two conflicting groups trying to do seperate things, and I don't think a "Council" is more likely to make them likely to agree with one another on anything. This being the case, I consider it quite unfair for an existing faction to have to "shrink" its RP to one particular region so that another faction can pop up in its previous place. Not all npc factions need multiple player factions. And considering how many npc factions have no player representation at all, I think we should be encouraging people to make factions for different groups, not all clog the same npc groups with more and more factions, diluting each of their RP.

On the other hand I support dieter's idea, if I interpret it correctly, of having factions from different npc groups that work in the same House area having some sort of OORP discussion forum to increase cooperation. But I don't think it should be "official" or run on voting rights or other such regulations making it subject to admin supervision.
