The Council [C]

[Neronian]

Govedo, you obviously missed something. Jammi isn't saying that [C] is bad because of his opinion of them. He's simply stating that if you're going through the effort of creating an Official Faction, you shouldn't be able to just copy/paste the bland ideas that the NPC faction was based on. If you're going through all this, why not make it your own creation, a Faction delightfully unique from any other. This could be through organization, backstory, gameplay, ANYTHING that gives the faction a twist of it's own. Like so:

The name of the game is adapt or die, with logical development of lore, based within the boundaries of Council cannon appearing to be the best way to go about it.

The keyword is Canon (Typo in his quote, >.>" Meaning is the same), as in to say that the NPC Council backstory is a great FOUNDATION for your own story. You can argue that some of the bigger factions, like the BAF or LN are too 'rigid' and 'bland', but I would argue that that's only because they're So DEFINED in the original story, that there isn't much room for improvisation. That is not the case here.

Anyways, I just wish to clear up this misconception. And to close it up, I'll use your examples.

You say the NPC Council ideas/goals matches the [C] ideas witch according to you is Bland and not Original.
I say NPC Liberty Navy ideas/goals matches the [LN] witch according to me is Okay because They can't Help it (And for the record, they are not just complete Carbon Copies).

Edited in White for accuracy.

EDIT: "New stuff should come, when there is another faction creation of the same npc faction in progress." That's exactly what's happening, which is why they should do MORE than just the bare minimum in terms of story.
