TO FLOOD OR NOT TO FLOOD, THAT IS THE QUESTION.

Well, I've managed to piss off Snak3, Ageira, LH~, Furries, Wisp, but at least Beast is happy.

What is your name?
What is your quest?

[Echo 7-7]

The most important piece of advice I would offer to an aspiring faction leader would be to join an established faction first (either official or unofficial), in order to gain an understanding of what's required to make it work first-hand, and also to understand what non-leader players have to go through. This is particularly important for those new to Disco in general, so they can become familiar with in-game mechanics, forum etiquette, and gain a broad understanding of how the community operates.

The core idea that I tried to keep in mind during my days as an Official Faction leader was "What can I do to offer the members an entertaining experience?" There is no faction without players, so it's important that logging on to the server is a positive experience. If that's too broad a question to answer, just focus on making their lives uncomplicated so they can focus on playing how they like (within the bounds of your faction's M.O., of course).

There was a sig here, once.

[.Gypsy.]

I, for example, don't fly snubs because I simply don't have the reaction time to play them. Nope, too fking bad, I am worthless then, since the only thing I can possibly fly is a cap. Might as well go hang myself then.

Cheers and same pinch .. The problem about flying a snub and being good with it is also dependent on the connection people have.
For example, I wanted to learn the snub fights.. but it wasn't worth it because with a fluctuation of 10ms and constant loss of 2% (being my normal stats), I can't do much against a snub with better connection.
Whereas in Cap brawls, the fluct doesn't matter much, target being huge..

I agree with both points above 100% Im not good with snubs and my internet connection will never allow me to be any good with them, between both my skill (though I'm trying to get better) and my internet, I suck in them. Larger ships negate allot of the problems with slower internet connections.

Seriously, Disco needs to just get over this stigma about caps. Just because people don't know how to fly them does not mean everyone who does fly should be viewed as a lesser being or that they somehow contribute less to the community.

This ^^

Nice Tutorial Spazzy

Good man. Adding this quote to the first post.

[Colonel Mustang]

Very useful, we are sort of an import of members but we are scrapping pretty much all of the old faction

[Lythrilux]

This should be move/linked in the unofficial factions sub-forum and pinned. There's been some faction threads recently that really could have benefitted with some of these criteria.
