Marceline (atys)yep, i think the same issues would arise with Trytonists as an entity. It'd be moving the problem from one place to another. I think there's less Trytonists than there are marauder and thus, less attention from the powers that be.
I don't think the mara organisation should be deleted, though i dare say numerous players would rejoice if it was. I have no idea what a solution could be, as there cleary aren't enough people working behind the scenes to deal with all the issues that arise from this game. Focus will be placed on the things that matter for the largest group of players (kami/kara), i suppose it's a case of "can't please all the people all the time".
It would be nice to add some lore for the mara's... what is there now is the bare essentials, nothing more. Though, is lore even necessary? probably not for mara, perhaps just for other people.
If I may, I think the Mara faction never has been the focus of the largest group of players before. On Aniro, there was so few people who really wanted in that to justify its creation, we were said that the creation of this faction was one of the biggest wishes on both Arispotle and Leanon.
Regarding the lore, I think you could try to fill it, send it to the event team and ask for it to be validated and then added to the official lore. If I were them I'd accept this help.
But it's much work though. You have to align the FR/EN/DE versions, agree on an interpretation of the official lore, take out what's not necessary, agree on what is necessary, try to find out if there is documentation that has not made public yet about the faction, to factor it in in the lore writing job. See if there is any clue of what the Event wants or does not want.
You'd also have to factor the language things, like poor translations either in French, or English, or German, which could have brought different interpretations, and so on.
Maybe we could ask to create a proper lore project called "Ryzom Lore Forge" centered around the official Lore Wiki ?
Regarding the scrapping of the Marauder faction, it's also a possibility.
Please note, regarding the trytonists, that this faction is way way way older than the Marauders.
Yep yep, i was meaning the focus will always be on Kami and Kara.. i know that the main focus will never be on Marauders or Trytonists. That's what i mean by "can't please all the people all the time" - the powers that be have to go with the majority. I guess it's simply business.
I see how the lore will be an absolute nightmare to write in. Having to get validation and interpretations from the main language communities is no easy feat. I'm not saying it should be done.. just that it would have been nice to have been there at the time of the mara organisation's creation.
And yes, i know the Trytonists have been a thing for a lot longer... i was told about them when i first started playing and read about them on various texts. I suppose the secretive nature of the faction kept it from becoming a proper in game thing and forced it to remain an RP only zone.
Off topic, but a guildie has written up an RP event incorporating Trytonists and the lore... as far as i know, the event team basically shunned it.
+1 to the 'Ryzom Forge Lore' idea. Could be useful to a number of people... though could also create yet more animosity.
