The Keeper RP we did back in 09' was awesome even with all the flame wars and DiscoDrama going around.
Unlike many people believed, it wasn't hard to be a Keeper, it simply took some time to do the proper RP. The type of RP being done by nomnom players were quite different, so there wasn't a strict rule about it.
As it happens almost in any faction, group, team, corporation etc. people who got refused flamed the faction. I was always an Order player, from day one. Never wanted to be in any other faction or anything. Got into Keepers after long convincing sessions of Mike, and it was fun.
I hope that the new Nom faction will be as much as fun.
