Also, have you thought of a new faction yet? The most likely thing why they are called "pirates" is because they were based on open source, bittorrent and internet piracy. (Since apparently I have to spell that out for you.) Also, No. I have given you my one idea and it was rejected. So that's that.

To note, I already know what I want to do with everything on that list. I just need to write it. You're free to say yours, but keep in mind that you have better chances when you make an idea for something we haven't discussed. Also, did you seriously give up on making a faction after I shot down one? I would have been back to the drawing board by now. I mean, I should have been more clear on limitations (which is another item for the list, along with minor races), but you really should not be discouraged because your first faction turned out a dud. S(n)ide hint: When making a faction, make a faction. A faction has flaws, has many defining factors, and consists of people with wishes and goals of their own. They are not small, tight-knit groups who all agree and share like a prefect child's world. They are not a platform for a "cool" idea. Factions are people, not gimmicks. They spring from simple ideas, turned complicated to meet their reality. |
