Guard Systems

[Linkus]

There are limits on the number of points a faction could spend per month/week/timeperiod.
No powertrader pumping out 900 million into a faction and them suddenly exploding with points.

There would be no room for cheating really, it would all be handled forum side. The money is transfered, the events are completed, whatever. The points are added onto a small list on the forums and the faction goes from there.

In reality it's a very simple system.
And infact, people are wanting there to be winners and losers in Discovery nowadays. Folks are pretty sick of everyone winning and no one losing. This is a direct reflection of factions, it's up to them to do with it what they will.
In terms of OOC hate, considering the sheer number of people who have characters in multiple factions, I doubt that is likely apart from more localised things.

Honestly, the only flaw in the idea is that factions will have to earn their guard system, instead of just flinging 500 million at the Admins.
