[member="Jessica Med-Beq"] iF by all-in early you mean posting 9 posts to every one of the Republic for the first 3 days then yeah sure. But they are still posting at least 5 to 1.
So the Mandos have won this invasion there is no doubt.
So per the rules
The following will be considered when judging an Invasion.
Teamwork. The amount of teamwork each faction exhibits over the course of the Invasion will contribute to victory, including its organization, cooperation with the faction's members, and how it executes its vision for the Invasion. This also includes members from opposing factions working with each other, rather than against each other, to provide entertaining role-play.
Story. Does it make sense? How exciting is it? Are the factions trying to weave a purposeful story or put up points on a scoreboard? This should not include the reason for the Invasion, but rather the story that proceeds once the Invasion has begun.
OOC Drama. Negative drama instigated by either side, publicly, can negatively impact a Faction’s chances for victory in an Invasion.
Entertainment. The value of entertainment provided by Factions in an Invasion can positively impact a Faction’s chances for victory in an Invasion.
Effort. The amount of effort put into the Invasion by each faction participating will positively impact that faction's chances for victory. This includes, but is not limited to - active writers participating, quality of writing, and responding to your writing partners in a reasonable time.
read that last one. Effort, It looks very bad when the faction starts new threads which involve the faction as a whole. Character threads are one thing but raids and large group threads where the faction is involved look bad when 2/3rds of the faction do not join the invasion. I get some people do not like invasions. that's cool but starting a faction thread in the middle of one basically looks like the faction doesn't care about defending the invasion.
the fact is I am only saying this because people come to me and ask why the GR is starting things when they won't reply in the Kashyyyk invasion. I honestly have nothing to tell them when they ask because I too have no Idea why. Support your faction people. Help in invasion or you won't have a faction left to defend.
