In relation to player factions controlling the NPC factions future.
Currently Disco runs by a system where there are set updates with set roleplays knotched on them.
IE, Kusari invades Bretonia.
From then till the next update, the players play that roleplay out and develop upon it.
Then the next update comes.
Kusari is at peace with Bretonia.
Players play that roleplay out and develop upon it.
However, currently it is not a faction leaders decision what his faction does but a developer question.
This usually does not cause issues, as the developers are usually aware of the roleplay going on and if it's sensible, are happy to add it into the mod.
However there are times where developers do not find certain factions roleplay sensible and do not add it into the mod and can sometimes add in contradicting lore to the mod.
This results in players finding their roleplay development was useless and for nothing. It also highlights that it is not a players choice how his faction progresses.
Discovery's roleplay development is decided upon by the Devs, Igiss being included there, and not by non-devs.
Devs though, it should be noted, are also players just like you or I.
Most factions have developers in them or developers interested in them.
Some don't and as such, get kicked around a good deal.
It comes down to a small conclusion.
Disco's development is in the hands of the developers, not non-developers.
If you want a change to this scenario, make a thread about it.
