This is going to end pretty fast with 1 faction per ID rule.
edit : I'll just add that you don't really need officialty for this kind of factions. While it's cool and rewarding for people who invest themselves a lot in a faction (I lived it) I hardly see how EDGE could be allowed to become an official faction now that the 1 faction per ID rule is enforced and you are a bit different than what the BHG central roleplay is, and considering that said official faction is active.
You may have an activity that is three times higher but it's not really a decisive argument for the admins decision unless the current official faction using this ID is very inactive.
