So yeah we'll fight to go back official but i'd rather pursuit RP than Quantity of Hours, rather than Quality of RP.. which is what the admins are looking for..hours, yet if you look at activity, as I keep saying, 70+ to 20t's in activity boost is what they've been given.
1) The admins didn't let you go through the hardship program. That's the point of this announcement. They allowed you to make the attempt, same as every other faction listed, and a decision was made 2 weeks later (which is now). I also don't see how this wasted your time. If you were going to abandon the group because you don't have official rights to play with, then yes, it would have wasted your time.
If you're going to actually lead the group regardless, then you've lost nothing and all of the activity gathered over the last fortnight has been worthwhile and will contribute towards your official request. It all boils down to whether you just want to be an official faction leader, or whether you want to specifically be the GMG's leader.
2) It's been said a few times now, but you weren't ineligible for a lack of activity. You were ineligible because one of the requirements for hardship is that the group had been making some kind of attempt in the time leading up to the warning. GMG wasn't, at all. The fact that your entirely new group turned up later on, after the warning was issued, is irrelevant to that point.
Quite frankly i do see why are you even arguing against GMG's officialdom, as far as i know you are not in the faction. You have not witnessed their efforts, and not even involved in their revival in general. It is not the end of the word of course, since it can be re-applied, but it does significantly discourages player who tried their best, they brought in what they where asked of, and got declined for not so elaborated reasons. That's not how the administration should encourage or support constructive community efforts. And if you are not involved with it, and have not participated in it, than keep your opinion to yourself.
