PS
What IS your faction and your guild anyway? Think about it mechanics wise and otherwise.
Mechanics, 100 kara is... a few surface tps, a fair amount of pr tps... and...? a faction channel that no one cares about? The abiltiy to rub shoulders with special people in outside chats and forums? Let's not pretend the actual forums aren't really used. Oh there are some tribe fames too I guess.
We already behave like the only thing that really matters is our friends, the chat channel in our guild, and a few tps.
You can go to an op and fight for whoever you want. it's already really loose. Calling to tigten existing mechanics will just upset people.
Adding new mechanics that gives some sort of relevance to dead content can work. Yes, I said it, dead content.
I'm just putting my feelings in very basic terms - I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings who thinks they're some super Kami and goes to all the meetings, goes to all the op battles, or some hardcore roleplayer who won't even smile at your baby because the mama is a fyros and you're a karavan (woops spoilers? lol)
In any case, you can get around the chat channel by making your own dynmaic channel. You can get around the tps by choosing the faction you WANT tps for, you can get around politics by either sucking up, meaning it when you suck up, and by also not participating.
Consequnces (good and bad) can revitalise something and make it fun again for all, not for some, not at the expense of anyone. If done right, I think it can be great.
