I have nothing negative to say about this. All the things that have potential (potential, nothing more) for less-than-pure-cake are things that are inevitably updated, recycled, and refined no matter what the faction design is and as far as I can see couldn't be changed for the better now anyway.

Since I became part of the Disco Help Skype Chat several months ago I have made many acquaintences and friends in Discovery, certainly many more than I otherwise could have. Those that joins this community this year, were nudged into the Help Chat, and have since become veritable veterans I got to know easily through the various topics of help and general discussion that goes there. I can count these people on one hand -- but when has quantity ever entered into these things? -- and Ben is definitely one of them.

Some time ago there began a rising movement among the corporations, primarily of Liberty. This has resulted in several initiatives, some dead, some flourishing. Most importantly, it resulted in closer ties (by way of yet another Skype chat) between the corporate leaders of (again, primarily) Liberty. There aren't many of us, but those of us who are active have collectively and continuous racked our brains to improve Discovery in specific ways within our realm. Ben has always been one of the most prominent of us, if not the tip of the spear.

Over the past few days -- or is it weeks? -- Ben and I have shared portions of our corporate faction-related work. I shared the discarded written material from Duchess Industries (the unofficial faction that precursed DSE) some of which seems to have inspired the design of this faction and Ben shared parts of the early draft of this faction request (if I remember correctly) which inspired the recent overhaul of DSE. In general, it seems that we see eye-to-eye on most things in this field, and as far as I know not altogether dissimilarly from the community at large (this thread exhibits that, I think).

However well I know Ben, I am confident he is as competent a faction leader as anyone. His ideas are creative and backed by abundant initiative. My impression of his leadership style is that of strength and moderation, but also leniency and flexibility governed by a tuned common sense.

I would completely lose confidence in my judgement if this faction is not approved. I will watch the development of it once it has officially seen the light of day and froliced in it for a while, then I will give whatever specific feedback I might have.

Godspeed!
