Notice: Bretonia and Kusari factions

[guitarguy]

From my perspective, the only way to completely solve your problems is to very publicly hit the RESET button, or, in other words, kick everyone out of the faction except for the most important, and begin recruitment using different standards. It is very extreme and perhaps unnecessary, and most definitely not my call on whether to do it or not - this is Dieter's faction, and I, having no connection to it whatsoever, don't have a say in it. But, for me, and I am sure, for many others, it would restore a measure of confidence and set the BAF back at point 0.

I think I can address some of what you are saying. Dieter has always insisted on making the BAF| as open as possible for new players, and the tradition continued even when he wasn't in the faction. That is a characteristic of our faction; very open to new players. I'm not sure how that compares to other military factions, but that is the cause of some of the grief in Bretonian space.

Does that excuse the behavior of some of our members? No.

We are working to fix the problem(s) in our faction. However, it will always be an "open" faction, and there will always be issues and new players who don't understand the power and responsibility of being an official military faction member (I know I certainly didn't as an ensign), but how are they to learn without wearing the BAF| tag for awhile. I hope this gives some perspective.
