' Wrote:The problem is that there's not going to get any good out of it if you just leave the new guys alone without any guidance (faction responsibility regarding setting examples). We had that before during a low-activity period and it really didn't get better afterwards.
In late .85 we were at a point where there are quite a few indies with a rather decent level. Considering it, I'd actually say that the certain council-GRN alliances have done their fair share as well of getting outcasts less interested in playing.
The Tau-23/Tau-37/Alpha region was really bad and eventually drove away lots of people and I can't blame them. Ideas and new blood will come out eventually - have no doubt - it is just a matter of time when that happens. Regardless, it is good to see you agreeing with me in the first part, I think it's the first time it happens :happy:
