Sarge Potteiger
Emotional Damage
As summer has set in, my activity has seriously waned which isn't what we need from a Faction Owner. But beyond that, I've known for probably the past six or seven months that the Protectorate has outlived its lifespan. Every faction has its expiration date sooner or later, especially non-canon ones. You've a peak in popularity, some skating, and then you drift off.
I know some members have already made their plans to prepare for the faction potentially going minor, and that's fine. It's good to plan ahead.
We can either elect a new Owner, or we can have the faction do something else. Maybe merge with the Republic so they can get some of the territory. I'm not overly attached to the idea but they've always been our biggest 'ally.' Otherwise we just go minor and enjoy our stories as we are doing currently.
With the Fringe merging with the Primeval our only real 'enemies' are the likes of the Vitae Alliance, the Rebels and the Union, none of which are exactly huge driving forces in the Major scene. I think that speaks volumes about where we've found ourselves.
I won't make this a vote thread, I'll make this a discussion thread. I say we should close up shop as a major faction. At this point we haven't deserved to be on the map in probably close to a year. It was a good run, but I think its time to say goodbye to the good ol' days.
