I always wanted to try doing something in Kusari, but every-time I've tried to consider my options I've been massively deterred by the group of individuals who keep a tight grip on all the pixels, whilst contributing little or nothing to the actual environment. I considered joining the Blood Dragons, but it became clear that it's only a parody of itself at this point. The Farmers Alliance were a tempting second option but they're deader than a can of spam right now.
To sum it up, the choices available are either terrible or devoid of any signs of life. Kusari is perhaps a representation of the worst tendencies of the server. So even with Yao flooding my DMs asking me to join the Naval Forces and contribute, which I know I can, the motivation to do so is as nonexistent as the canonical consistency of Kusari. Sometimes it's surprising how a small handful of friends can ruin an entire experience if left to themselves.

Here's a run down:
- I am the former leader of Samura, I gave up leadership to someone else who was revoked of that by the Admins and given to someone I intentionally did not give leadership to.
- That current leader has been inactive for months and left duties to his 2iC who has no idea what to do.
- I came back and asked the 2iC if I could have the forum account to clean things up in the subforum, branding and formatting was inconsistent between posts and we had duplicates of recruitment threads and even triplicates of faction information. The mess in the subforum was not a good look and not a good way of recruiting people with notable confusion. So I cleaned things up, asked Admins to delete stuff and I edited posts to make them all consistent because I am good at making forum posts (see: Farmer's Alliance posts).
- 2iC had a go at me because I got the OLDER version of the Recruitment thread deleted, he thought this was a sign I was erasing evidence that he and others ever got hired (which would've included myself, but anyway). He completely overreacted and kicked me out of the Discord and revoked my forum account rights.
- The inactive leader came back briefly to be rude and have a go at me for asking what happened to our Bank and Shared Accounts which is a very valid question. Note: he has made ZERO effort to recover these which have billions of dollars worth of cash and assets on them. I have not heard from him since his brief return to have a go at me which would've been due to the 2iC messaging him on a different medium.
- I have come to the conclusion they are both useless and the forum is better served by me at the helm, as it was previously when it saw a lot of activity. I am using everything in my power to get them to either step down or be forcibly removed because they are absolutely adamant on staying even if they recognise its better for the faction if I lead. This has been recognised by numerous Kusari players and factions on Discord because Samura now has a seemingly irreversible reputation in Kusari for its "Samura dock", which basically means they either dock or log out at the sign of unlawfuls and they have tried to defend this action. I knew this was a characteristic of the current leader when I was leader and one of the main reasons I did not want him to lead when I stepped down.
Well if that all true then thats just plain sad and silly tbh but guess you can make everyone happy with change and more order.

Edit: misread that I see now you typed joining not making my bad.

Can I point out, before this goes much further, that the Samura that you ran was disbanded as per:
(I would suggest that you read all the Posts in that Thread, as it might prove enlightening).
Samura then went through the normal process of becoming Official and achieved it with @pals at the helm.
No other contenders came forward, at the time or since, to become Official.
So, you have no claim to the Faction as, effectively, this Faction is a different one.
Until the current Leader hands over the reins, disappears totally in to the ether he still remains the Leader, regardless of anybody else's wishes.

Regardless, my point isn't that I have a rightful claim to the leadership its that the current leadership is as useless as t*ts on a bull.
The Link I provided shows you the whats and whyfors of what happened. So, no need to listen to the rumourmongers.
All I can suggest to you, is do what SnakThree said:
Quote:Then make better Samura faction.
Unless you can convince @palsnicely to handover his Faction.
