Faction Status Thread

[Athenian]

The thread is too dense with information.

Official factions should follow the posting guidelines. By all means, link to other threads for recruitment, feedback, etc. but keep this one brief.

What should be included in each post:

1) Faction name and tag.
2) Brief faction description - ideals, goals, alignment - lawful or unlawful, and whatever other information you find appropriate. But keep it brief.
3) Complete list of faction members with ranks (if the faction has ranks).
3a) (Optional) For whom is the faction joinable, if it is joinable. What are requirements for members (ID required, etc).
4) Diplomatic status - list of allies and foes, optionally list of neutrals.
5) NPC faction alignment and ID - essential if you have a home system.
5a) Home system (admin-approved).
6) List of permitted ships and weapons in original faction creation request and links to approved special roleplays.

When information in the post becomes inaccurate, for example, a new member joins the faction, the post should be updated by faction leader as soon as possible.

List of active faction members must be updated at least once in two weeks.

We'll do a clean-up ourselves in a few weeks so you have some time to tidy up your own post.

Code:

I've been trying to get the rest of the HF High Command to help out with reducing the length of our bloody post for some time now.

Stupid question because it says it up there but I'll ask anyway.

Is a complete list of faction members required?

Ah, also stupid question, but what do you define as 'short'?

[TheJarl]

Hehe... yeah... I managed to get us (the HF) TWO posts to fit everything it it... I suppose we should do something about that xD

With regards to point 2, I assume "Keep it brief" means not including several extensive paragraphs about a Faction's history, as are currently present in several factions' posts.

There was a sig here, once.

[SpaceTime]

There are 3 posts about the KNF in the thread. One by Lotek, one by casero and one by Kamakura Shogunate. Maybe delete the first 2 ?

[Dennis Jameson]

It would help if the admins would post a list of which factions this post is directed to.

So yeah, get to it.
