Unofficial Faction Rules

[Garrett Jax]

Take it easy Nyx, you're going to give yourself an aneurism.

Read this.

When a faction is created, the leader must select an ID and a corresponding IFF for use on every ship within the faction, based on the group's primary role and identity. Factions must also choose one unified tag for their ships upon requesting official status.

Each faction or group can only use one ID. Official factions may request their own ID based on the original ID of their NPC faction, to allow for a more specialized line of roleplay or to remove certain restrictions applied to their original ID, which would require admin approval before implementation. The faction ID can only be requested if the official faction's roleplay as a whole, or the roleplay of a sub-group of the faction can no longer be played out within the allowances of their original ID.

In case of the Player Faction IDs granted to the faction as a whole, the approved ID will become the faction's primary ID and every ship belonging to the faction should be switched to the new ID, and in case of the Player Faction IDs approved to a sub-group within a faction, the ID must only be used within the approved sub-group. In both cases, the official faction will maintain their faction rights over the NPC faction of their IFF.

It is possible for any faction or any group to choose any ID that they like. Including even IDs that already have official faction(s) representing them, however, not all IDs or NPC affiliation will grant full faction rights.

And this:

I. Process of making an unofficial faction or group

1. Each faction has only one leader. The leader of the faction must also assign at least one second in command

2. Leader should choose an ID and IFF that all members of the group will use on their faction characters.

3. Post your faction idea in the Unofficial Factions and Groups subforum. Ask about others opinions! This will help you on next stage.
