Concerning Factions

Post by Elf of Rivendell »

Correct me if I'm wrong in any of the assumptions I'm making in this post.

So, here goes. Originally, I intended to join the Israelites. However, for reasons I'll explain later in the post, I discarded the idea and considered the Bones of Rath. Not that the idea held any particular appeal to me, especially after watching that little run-in Eugene Kendall and Rodney had in Gower's Field earlier today. The idea of having a coward as my faction leader wasn't one I really wanted to entertain too long.

HOWEVER. I know that in the next week or so, the population of the Israelites is going to rise dramatically. And I mean dramatically. And from experience (in several games, websites, and real-life incidents), I know that clans/guilds/factions overflowing with members is little more than a rather unruly crowd(again, correct me if I'm wrong in this case) and works far less efficiently than a small, but well-organized group does.

We all know it's going to take forever (or a lot of spam) to gather the funds to start a new faction. Therefore, I'm making a suggestion: Could there be another ("non-user-created") small faction of freelancers or something of the sort?

I have thought about the idea, and will aske Shadowpaw about it. If he could make a group for the more mellow group, the ones that don't want to be in either one.

It depends on what it was. My idea was the Jedi Order Faction. What is your idea?

A "mellow" faction wasn't what I exactly had in mind. I was thinking more along the lines of a "mysterious", freelancer group that doesn't side with either faction but can unexpectedly show up at the unlikeliest times and help either one out, depending on circumstances or even simple whims... =p A Jedi Order faction does sound good, though.

That's the kind of faction I wanted to join, Elf, though, I'm not a Jedi. If you had room for a "Han Solo" I'd join :wink:

True. But I never said it had to be somethingotherthanaio-themed.

No, you didn't. But we can try to make it so. Let's think about ToO...

Shadowpaw says that any five people who want to get together and create a faction can do it, they just have to pay. It would kind of defeat the purpose if he just started adding them. :?

Well...I'll probably join the Israelites or create a new faction then. It might take me a while to decide. In the meantime, it would be nice to know how many people are interested in creating a new faction.

I'm open to creating a "freelancer" faction. Originally I just figured people who wanted to be in the middle would simply not join a faction. Since joining a faction of freelancers would seem to defeat the purpose. However, I'm willing to open one up if someone can come up with a clever name and group... Odyssey related :).

I think that's a good name for the middle ground group. Owl could stand for something...like:

Odyssey
Wimp
League

Sorry that's all I could think of. 8-[
