A wise saying is, you trip over a rock once,you're just clumsy. You trip over it twice,you're a fool. Trip over it six times,like you have with your factionspam... well,yeah.
as i wanted to answer that but athenian outrun me...lets try it again.
You say trip over a stone like failing... but actually we do not look upon all these closed factions as failures. We had a great time in them and met cool people. Actually it was more fun than in any "common" faction we ever were before we decided to make our own stuff.
