I do appreciate the fact you didn't dismiss everything I had put effort into writing. You seemed to have read through it and explained your side of the struggle, and I empathize with how difficult this must be for you. Unfortunately, and despite my own willingness in wanting to be able to help you, since you seem to be the first person in this faction's recent leadership history who's willing to cooperate - there just isn't any other choice than a blank slate. Too many mistakes have been made and forced in as canon lore to just go back on. I don't think you're being fair to yourself by saying you failed to fix this mess, it wasn't even your mess to begin with. You shouldn't have burdened yourself with an unwarranted and unrelated source of responsibility.
All I have ever hoped for is to see a faction as cool as the Blood Dragons be executed correctly. I don't want to see people twist it into things it isn't, or play it for the sake of tech benefits. I just want to see it exist and do well for what it was intended to be, even if that's a humble existence by comparison to the "popular" factions of the mod. The NPC faction desperately deserves proper representation in the game's universe, something it's been denied for many years now.
If you choose to stick around and try and salvage what the faction is meant to be, I will help you. But if you are truly done with things here then I can only wish you the best moving forward. Whatever it is you choose to do, I'm content with the fact you at least heard me out and didn't dismiss what I said like I have seen people here do to many others.
