I'm not sure what the purpose of asking for feedback is when you have no intentions of taking said feedback into consideration. You've decided to change your recruitment method and you've done so. Cool.
My suggestion (not saying this to be mean) is that you should spend a tad more time on the role play of the SCRA before worrying about a recruitment process. The role play regarding Alvin leaving and you taking over Aphil was...........laughable at best. Seemed very, very rushed (as in thrown together an hour after Alvin handed over the reigns).
You should have taken a few days and done something of higher quality instead of rushing and having that tumor being your first act as the faction's leader.
Anyways, good luck with the new job and don't let it stop you from actually playing the game (not the forumlance side, actual in game time!)
