Don't patronize me, Dab. If the KNF and BAF (for example) both decide that they want to change the story, and ignore some of the in-game written story, what's going to stop them? Let's say that both sides agree that KNF is pushed out of Leeds, and the Nagasaki returns to its previous location. There are no changes to the mod or anything, just a bunch of players agreeing that this is what they will do. What happens then? As long as everyone agrees to it, then it's fine, right?
And yes, roleplaying does require a foundation to build upon. But that doesn't mean it can never change unless the foundation story changes. The players will do what they want to do, and no dev, admin, or anyone can change that. Factions dying out because players get "bored" with their RP, just because it doesn't exactly match what's written? Ridiculous.
Anyways, I see that I can't change your opinion on this topic, so I'll just drop it.
Here's another "I'm curious" question. Does anyone think OOC that the Kusari government controls Okinawa?
Incidentally, does anyone know how to read infocards and rumors without having to go in-game?
