Faction Alt Rule (ILLEGAL FACTIONS)

[marbella mondays]

Been told by several people that you need approval from IFM to have alternative characters in factions, and a lot factions don't have approval and they make alts just to make them as it benefits a more realistic environment in the faction's atmosphere. This suggestion is purely only for Illegal Factions, and it's to change the Faction Alt rule to allow people to make characters within their factions freely without running it like some sort of North Korean dictatorship. 

 

I've spoken with several people and they all agree, this should be REMOVED and CHANGED. The report section exists for a reason, if people do some rowdy shit they should be reported. Let people have freedom instead of trying to dictate every single step, from here to Timbuktu. This is in no way me offending staff, or attacking staff but simply just saying the cold hard truth, that there's literally ZERO NEED for approval to have alts within factions you're RPing it, especially if it adds to the roleplay. 

 

This rule seriously needs to be reworked, and tweaked because right now 80% of the Illegal Factions on the server, if not more have ZERO KNOWLEDGE of this, and Illegal FM haven't even given me a confirmation as to whether this actually exists yet, but I've been told by a few reputable people that it is indeed true... and that needs to change, for the betterment of the server. It's understandable why it exists for legal factions, but zero understanding as to why it's there for illegal factions. This removal wouldn't hurt anyone, and in fact would make the Illegal RP community more happy.

If that's an actual rule I honestly don't see its purpose. Alternate characters can be one of the big factors in portraying realistic factions and can add a ton of benefit to the faction's roleplay, if they're disallowed or you need to go through a long, boring process to get them, that's not so cool is it? Do we want people doing 4 different things on their main/only character or high ranking characters involving themselves in petty stuff that'd be handled by lower ranking guys realistically, just because having an alt takes ages?

 

That rule should honestly be removed, if someone does something dumb or metagames, just get rid of 'em, don't restrict the whole server because there's a chance someone might be being dumb with their alt.

Agreed, I like to create "throwaway characters" that could potentially lead to someone elses development furthered.

 

E.g. Creating a char that's gonna be an issue/get disciplined/killed, it furthers stable characters going forward.

 

If someone MGS, then we have a report a player system for a reason.

Quite literally, this rule is pointless, and most of the illegal RPers agree with it... a lot of faction leads agree with it, there's no point in keeping this in place, when it's actually going to degrade freedom and roleplay. 

 

I'm going to tag @Knoxville, @Nervous and @Bospyfor this one as I believe they should all be watching the thread to see the illegal community's reaction to it.
