New Groups

[Mao]

-Nice mode Engaged-
OP, you really should ask for the admins lock the thread. Really. For your own sake.
-Nice mode disengaged-

You're new here. You don't know anything about anyone. You certainly weren't here when factions had to sit around and let everyone do what they wanted to. So, here's a piece of advice for you. Sssh. Just sssh. Play the game.

Understood that these people that don't like you have been around for much longer than you have.

Understand that these people have worked a lot harder for this community than you.

Understand that these people have worked a lot harder for their respective factions than you.

Understand that the people that have sanctioned you are amongst the more harder working members of this community.

Understand that you are new here, you have to earn peoples respect. Not the other way around.

Understand that we don't give two crap about what you think.

So, after all, you earn respect and your ideas are accepted if your joining date is not in the last 4 years, right? Very funny and sad at the same time because there are many people that think the same in this "community".

I don't agree with the OP either... here are some examples of groups that were accepted, even if they had nothing to do with the original lore: The Bretonian Buccaneers, the Virulian Enclave, Queen Carina's Privateers, etc. They were accepted because they were not imports and they had something plausible in their story. The members of said groups acted nicely and didn't provoked storms like some of the recent ones (th[A]t were, of course, rejected).

So, as long as your new group brings something new AND plausible for the FL universe, you shouldn't have big problems.
