"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[Benjamin]

I don't see any problems with this really. Beyond the fact that, to my knowledge, most NPC factions just don't have more than one official faction? The corsairs and outcasts do, and the corsairs at least already have a council thing, with all the official factions and also indies represented on it. I think that's a pretty good method for it, really. But those two factions are fairly unique as far as I can see. But of course, if other factions for NPC groups crop up, I don't see why they shouldn't use the council method.

As for the faction creation method, I like it. It looks good. How exactly will it work, though? When you make a 'group,' do you post information about your faction on the forums for everyone to see? Or do you keep it all off the books until someone decides you're ready for review? Because at the moment, you have a somewhat similar situation. A lot of factions have submitted their review for officialdom and been waiting around for quite a while. I think the RFP is the oldest at the moment? In my mind at least, these factions are somewhere between unofficial and official.

So you'd make a thread for your faction, saying what it's about, how it works and so on, and leave it open for a while, absorb feedback, make changes, and so on, and then after a month or whatever, you'd get a vote, and if you passed, you can submit yourself for admin review?

Works for me, anyway.
