"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[hack]

Questions that arise from this idea:
- In order to differentiate Factions from Groups, what kind of rights should [Official] Factions have over Groups or Independent players?

- Should the 500m fee stay or go?

- Should we limit the amount of official factions for each NPC group depending on the group? And what about Corporations whose headquarters are under the flag of a house?

- Should Independent players have a representative on the council?

- Should Factions be able to lose those rights if they go the wrong way?

- Should Groups have to abide by the policies set by the Council too?

1. For Example, there is only 1 Liberty Navy Command. The high command should rest with the Official faction. The higher ranking members of the Official faction should be able to order unofficial or indie groups and have them obey. (Within reason). The official Factions should be the sole custodians of a Factions history, roleplay, and diplomacy.
2. Yes, it should stay. Its shows a commitment to the server and community and isn't something just to do for the week
3A. In some cases Yes. For example, you wouldn't want 5 different LPI police departments. There are barely enough players to fill out one Police Department.
3B. Some Corporations are big enough you might get away with it. For Example, you had Ageria the Corporation, then You had Ageria Lane Security, a Ageria Subdivision.
4. The questions is, how many independent players? If you have 30 indy players, how do you select one?
5. If it can be shown that they ON PURPOSELY abused the power or influence, yes.
6. Yes
