So are we forgetting the whole "player ships cannot die, only get disabled" thing now? And somehow nobody other than two people seems to care about it, beautiful.

Frankly, I don't remember if I have such things and will have to check a lot of things, but still.

I strongly feel like this should be "active faction members", not just all faction members.
No retcons necessary, this is a going-forward change.

Active faction members is a good call, it was an oversight that it wasn't worded that way. Thanks.

You can RP it however you want - critical damage, disabled - the post-loss amnesia remains as a rules constraint however.

Yup, we do need a separate clarification thread for this new rule. Like with non-human factions, exact time period and details that are "forgotten" like in an example Chron mentioned.

In anyway, the idea is awesome.

Great. Otherwise seems good to me. c:

So sometime between 835 and 836 AS every single ship in Sirius decided to strip its black boxes off, and every single manufacturer decided to stop producing them.

Good stuff, clearly roleplay is valued in this PvP community I see.

And where shall these QUARTERLY REPORTS be posted to? Shall they be posted on the Official Faction Site, or is there a Special Section? Will there be a Template with the required items, similar to those for any other request? I feel that a lot is missing here.

TBH, this feels a lot like Extra Bureaucracy for something that should be fun and games. I am suffering from Depression and sometimes barely make it to reply to my RPs. If this is an Extensive thing, then I am not sure if I could make it for the Faction on a Quarterly Schedule. Especially when I am in a Depression Low Phase.

I think some of these Changes are really a good thing and lead to more active factions, but this last part worries me.

There will be an additional subforum added here shortly.

The template for the reports is included in the OP of this thread:

Faction Activity Report Template Wrote:Name of Faction:
Name of Faction Leader:
Number of Active Players this Quarter:

What have you done to advance your faction’s goals this quarter?

What are your faction’s goals for the next quarter?

What have you done to drive activity and promote high quality roleplay this quarter?

How would you like your NPC faction’s story to be developed moving forward?

What roleplay, events, or activities have you done this quarter to promote this development?
