The Das Wilde and Keepers are a bit inactive at the moment, so their player/activity count could use a boost.
I would rather see them active then seeing a few here and there of various names and affiliations.
heh, I already contacted the wild, they basically told me to shove off. I'd much rather join an existing faction, because it's much less strain on me to try and keep an entire group of people organized and under control. However, there's no other option if you want to be a nomad or a nomad infected human.

Anyhoo, my Gaians facination with Nomads (as far as I know) doesn't apply to the other Gaians, so I don't wanna say anything that might make it seem like I speak for the NLH, the Edinburgh, Newcasltle, or Lewis treehuggers on this issue.
At the moment, I have a big red flag pop up in my head when I think of Bretonian-style Wilde, but it would be unwise for me to brush off the idea with a knee-jerk reaction.
I'm 100% willing to explore the idea w/ ya Tenacity.
I just gotta find the time & think on it for a day
We could have cauwfee & tuwak... no big whoop:cool:
Anyway, be those bretnoian wilde or any other - it'll have to work within the context and boundaries of the lore scheduled for release at 4.85, hence why I said to wait till then. Right now rushing does nothing good, like I said there is a need for infrastructure, that includes roleplay infrastructure too, and the lore docs is exactly kind of mechanism providing the necessary basis and fundamental concepts, an official paper. Consistency is necessary, and the reasons why I explained already above, referring to as tower of babel syndrome. Nomads aren't carte blanche for any ideas that might come into and this isn't charity house, isn't blank white paper you can paint whatever you want on. There is already a painting there so you have to work within the style. One can go as far as saying not playing a jedi or insert-your-favorite-sci-fi-character here harms the roleplay variety, but that's rhetoric and endless debate, for crossovers best to do within specifically dedicated environment, i.e. mods that are derived from those. So here we got reasonable limits and reasonable freedoms, work within them, not around them. The latter will only make things worse. I'm willing to take new ideas onboard, I'm fairly open minded person when ideas presented are taken with responsibility and dedicated hardwork and not just a product of a momentarily creative spark, but input alone does not come with guarantees, understand that as well. So for as long as this branch provides not conflicting with existing setup or the future plans and not be far fetching ones (that includes rivalary). The existing Wilde faction was made this way, I expect the very same kind of cooperation here. Those are the conditions, regardless of being official or not, repfixed or not. There are other important and priority conditions too, which are outside of my scope, those are best discussed with administrators here and in certain case, like this one, with Igiss directly. There are many necessary dependencies, will not be an easy road.
Alright, i'm still going to work on background and i'm going ahead with the group itself, but I'm not going to make them nomad related, I've got another idea that doesnt conflict too much with existing factions and goes along with something I had previously wanted to introduce anyhow.

Where did you get this information from?
If you look at the info cards of the Nomad brains the NPCs drop, you can clearly see that the larger nomads seem to control or influence smaller nomads, like a military ranking system.
So what a command nomad was cut off? Would its underlings also get cut off from the mindshare and follow there master?

That's why I'm no longer basing it on nomads. Instead, I'm introducing a new race, but it will be a bit more restrictedmited than I had first suggested, and it will probably not be gaian-based now; I'm thinking of going more with a zoner focus, or someone else in the borderworlds. You'll see once I get the faction proposal written up.
