Faction as a property

[Markus_Janus]

Bowex runs off the HC system as well. I guess most factions do. I'm personally happy that each group is considered to be the group's possession and not the leader's. Although this can have strange side-effects when you factor in some of the generic ID factions.

Case in point, the Jokers and Rorry's Renegades. Both of these factions are cults of personality focused on the leader (on an inRP and OORP level, it seems from the outside) and without that leader, they tend to fold. Then again, if the members want to try and continue after their centrepiece has folded, that's their prerogative, I suppose.

I think that the HC model is the only one that really works, I mean we all have times where we must make ourselves scarce.
If a faction has only a leader and they go missing, the entire faction is in trouble, I learned this during my early days of making factions, I have had two fold due to this problem.
At the very least you need a second in command who you can trust and who does not mind taking over all the duties of leading without a second thought.
This is what I like about Samura, I think we would remain fine if even three directors disappeared.

I know I've said this before, but, really.. This should change. I mean come on. How could every single faction in disco NOT have attempted coups or successful coups every single moment? (didn't mean that literally. by 'every single' i mean 'most')

I believe that in InRP coup is fine and will usually have the blessing of all members.
Where as an OoRP coup would be a very different affair that can only have an ugly ending.:ylove:
