Don't have that problem here I think. It is essential that a player joining leaves personal preferences at the door. To be honest I was afraid that players who are die-hard fans of conflicting sides would cause problems within the third side faction combining so different players, but it was proven wrong - while everyone have their own opinions they tend to respect opinions of others even if personally disagreeing with them. But then again, my personal experience with player factions is rather limited: prior to forming my own faction I was only playing for one faction, it was HF, and later for a very short time in like two or three, but given the low activity and participation in those others that doesn't really count I think. Guess I am not much of a multi-faction player, and perhaps most curiously is that I consider myself more independent than many of those who have a tendency of repeating they are independent on every corner now and then. Ironic it may be, but that's how I think.
