I'm unsure if I ever expressed this before, but I feel it's slightly relevant at the moment. I was recruited into the XA- after a roleplay encounter in game. At the time, it was just Evo, me and another person. Both of them burned out and stopped playing. But for whatever reason, I always seemed to enjoy flying around as a Xeno. I enjoyed how the faction was written, I just have a natural soft spot for underdogs. It's because I loved it as a faction, that I continued to play it even if it was on my own and with no development.
Having expressed this, I'll take your suggestion seriously and drastically cut back on unnecessary political rhetoric and focus more on the simpler side of our faction's nature as disaffected xenophobic terrorists.
