1) There seems to be general support for the SF - QCO/QCP merger (indeed, nothing else makes sense)
2) There seems to be general support for keeping the Existing Factions as subgroups within the new faction
3) What we are currently debating, I think, is only what to call the new faction, and what tag to use. There are 2 separate options:
a) Some (including me) favour renaming everyone, something like BAF, and keeping the existing factions as subtags, something like BAF-QCO, BAF-QCP and BAF
b) Others, (lets call them the QCO-centric) seem to just want to rename the former SF people, ie QCG for Queen Carinas Guard, or IMHO, better name for former SF, if it came to it, is QCR for Queen Carinas Regulars.
For option a, the Faction Name would be something like Bretonian Armed Forces, for option b, the Faction Name would be, I dunno, Queen Carinas Armed Forces (?). Unselie to decide that. (Youll make a good Queen)
Also, we COULD ask the admins to do a special round of name changes for free, under the circumstances.
SUGGESTION TO RESOLVE ASAP
Unselie, do a poll on forums, worded as follows:
With regards to the upcoming merger of SF and QCO/ACP, which of the following 2 naming conventions do you prefer:
1) Renaming ALL former SF and QCO/QCP characters with a Master tag, like BAF, and naming the new merged faction something like BAF. OR
2) Just renaming the former SF people, as QCR (Queen Carinas Regulars) or QCG (Queen Carinas Guard) or something similar. All existing QCO/QCP keep their names. New Faction name to be something like Queen Carinas Armed Forces.
Then let the majority rule.
Your baby, Unselie. Just trying to help. Bear in mind, you likely cant please everybody no matter what.
