But the ID of Solar Engineering still exists. I am not referring to actual player groups here, if you are implying that, but the NPC faction that exists within the game

You act like I am pulling GMG into the dirt from its glory, you can't really say that this page as it is now is worse than the old GMG page, neither have you seen how any RP would have been done. The only thing you are bothered by is that I, Shelco, try to make something out of it. Deep down I am pretty sure you wish you could still have the old GMG but don't want to do the effort. But seeing someone actually doing the effort also doesn't please you. I excuse for trying to do something with factions and having fun RPing as them.
I don't really care about info page. You could have done this with different tag and graphics. You could have created new faction instead of using old one. And I don't really care if somebody is playing GMG lol, I just care that somebody is using 'dead' factions but he wasn't member of it.
And if my health and life allowed me, then I would put tons of effort into GMG| Wasser without any HC approval disbanded.
But it's not the same. The page was created from dust. The tag is simply a cosmetic preference. GMG| is the only tag fitting here, if you ask me. I cannot make such graphics either, and since they are unused ever since it was disbanded, I don't see a reason not to use them, as long as I recognize, that I did not make them. If someone was to revive 343 now, I would be glad if they used my work, that would mean it was not for nothing in the end. And this is also a different style for GMG. It is planned to be more radical, more aggressive and dominant. This is anything but a revival in this case, just tag and 3 graphics.
You can also tell me who made them so I can give credit.
I will not agree that using a contect of the faction without former leadership approval is okay. Of course, there is no rule that will stop you so whatever.
Lemme trow 3 lines here... Shelco is actually DOING something, thats good and nice, and ppl who came qqing about let the faction go downhill. Lots of times i disagree with him on most matters and points we discuss, but i wish him and GMG best of luck and am looking foward to pew new GMG as much as we can. Better trying than just complaining of how good it was forever...
Doing something means nothing if you don't do it well. It's one thing to take up a mantle for the sake of keeping it alive, it's another thing entirely if you just reduce the over-all image in everyone's head.
I'm basing this criticism on the fact that I just spent a few minutes trying to roleplay with members of this faction about an incident that took place in Sigma-13. Only to be met with complete silence as they went about power-trading.
I mean, if you don't want to talk to someone, you could just say that in a single line, but no lines whatsoever and just straight-up ignorance, especially on a server that exists for, wait for it, roleplay?
Short of that, what are you even here for?
My closing note is going to be the fact that if you want people to see you more positively, you're going to have to do a lot more than just set a bunch of double-standards.
