You essentially are saying everyone playing a Molly is in the Molly faction. Which is correct.
They are not in the [MR] faction however.
If someone were to break the [MR] faction's rules but not the Molly factions, they are fine.
If they break both, well, those are usually server rules like OORP etc. They be sanshuned.
What was the point of that incredibly long post?
In Discovery, Factions are usually referred to in the context of Player Factions like the [MR], not the NPC factions or any other kind.
Independents are the ones belonging the NPC faction but not a player faction.
That is the Discovery definition, no matter what kind of real life definition there is.
