Should official factions have more power?

[tazuras]

I agree on the one official faction per NPC for the house Militaries, Police, and covert group.

As I pointed out in the other thread, trying to get mulitple wings/ Divisions/ precincts to agree on something is going to be nuts.

Plus most Police factions barely have enough players as it is, new members are needed just to keep the regular one flying. It would be Silly to have 100 players in Precinct a, whilst only 5 players are in Precinct b.

I think completely denying new factions the right to exist is pretty nuts. In police.military covert groups it should not be first come first serve. If a new faction in one of these NPC factions meets the requirements to become an official faction then they should be able to. If you dont think those requirements are sufficient (as in perhaps you think more than 5 active players should be required) fine, but I think that is a separate issue.

I do think that any new official faction in any of these faction has to serve a unique purpose. They have to fill an RP niche that any current official factions in the NPC faction do not. They cant just divide up the territory, thats not a good enough reason for a new official faction.

As for trying to get different factions to agrre on things, there are several councils in game which seem to work pretty well at agreeing on things. Of course I can think of at least one that doesnt, but it really doesnt seem like they talk to each other, so as long as you keep the lines of communication open I dont see this as an issue.
