I'd really love to live in a Chaos world where cliques took a backseat to good ideas and moves.
Cliques = IRL friends who all want to write together, and eventually determine to survive on the map you gotta lump all Sith/Jedi/Imperial/Confederate ideas into one pseudo-government. I get life is messy and Chaos is messy and to stay competitive you have stay creative, but I feel like we can draw some lines.
Major Faction = if you're a law and order Major Faction, don't make several criminal subfactions. If you hate Sith, don't make a Sith subfaction. If you love Sith, don't pander to Jedi characters. "I'm just going through a phase." Tell those people to take a hike, find another Major that adapts better. Just tell those people your faction isn't about that. I remember trying to join the Bryn'adul one time and they (in)famously told me my concept wouldn't work there. This is the play to make, I think. And if you lose activity because of it, well, I think that's a fair trade off too.
I more than anyone understand the need to stave off stagnation by constantly growing, but I'd love to see these cliques stop sacrificing immersion for membership. Let's draw some lines and stick to them.
And lastly, don't get me wrong, I 100% understand that a good majority of the forum already goes in on this. You don't have to virtue signal here, this is me just putting it out there.
