Guard Systems

[kingvaillant]

How do you propose to actually monitor all this? who would be in charge to make sure no faction cheats on their points?

The current system work this way:
Faction->System modder->Igiss->Testers->Igiss->Public release.

Now, if we look at your proposal, this means that the System modders and Igiss would have to monitor factions activities very closely to make sure none cheats or miscalculate their stuff. None of us (systems modders + Igiss) have the time for this.

Plus, adding another entity in the system would just make the whole process too heavy.

In fact, this sounds like EVE. I believe such concept may cause WAY too much competition between various factions. Bottom line, I think this proposal would be beneficial for factions RP but far too detrimental for the inter-faction relations (OOC). Let's face it, people don't like being the losers. The risks of loosing something may stir quite a lot of tension.

Now, imagine when a group actually loose an event. I can only foresee a lot of whining, and lovely messages exchanged between faction leaders.

And Again, do not use Londonderry or the GC guard system as examples to support your position about the current guard system mechanics. Those systems are mistakes that will NEVER be allowed again.
