There's no need for that. If Ageira stops playing altogether, they will go on the list next quarter. Besides, maybe after a break everything will sort itself back out.
I think he means they didn't meet 3 days so they are supposed to be on the list automatically.
Anyways - not much incentive to be an OF these days, the new system will actually make it worse as you might get some perks but will have to indulge in time wasting bureaucracy instead of building your faction and making your members motivated, etc.

Ah yeah I see what you mean. The activity tracker still has them marked as unofficial. I'm giving out to the others to have all of this updated and sorted out. Regarding the bureaucracy of the new system, we're hoping to minimise the constant back and forth. It's a big internal discussion about how we structure the perk stuff so it's easier for everyone involved, especially OF's. I'll see if I can convince @TheKusari to give you all a sneak peek at the current proposed structure.
Speaking for myself, having to submit reports to staff every X months and the openness to bias for keeping OF are what put us off from keeping ours. In any case - it should br rolled out or put to sleep ASAP as the uncertainty doesn't exactly help motivate OFs.

I still enjoy this game alot and the efforts put into it by staff, but my experience, since Interspace became an official faction in 2023, was finding so many admin perk requests go unanswered that it became frustrating so I'd stopped trying. My last player or Faction request at end of 2023 didn't even get a response, despite having Kusari check it out. Even 'you cant do that, here's why' would have been better than nothing at all. It kills enthusiasm.
Hopefully it's better now, as timely response to requests including simple base licenses and government RP often makes or breaks the momentum of gameplay for many.
I as well have been holding my breath waiting on OF changes.

Yeah this has been an issue for some time now. Hopefully me being a nuisance gets things moving a bit faster.
