The idea was well received by the guild members that were present at the impromptu meeting. Several ideas were formed one of them being that instead of it being a Coven faction stone, but a Shadow Collective faction stone. For all of the members of the Shadow Collective to join if they wished an alternative to the standard RP wars. I will list my ideas and questions that i have following and allow the rest of you to expound on the ideas further. Seeing as how I have never been in a faction, nor really ever wanted to be, some of my thoughts maybe totally out of wack. But none the less here they are.... 1. For Coven or the Shadow Collective to endorse a faction stone with their name attached to it, it would need to be role played as such. 2. All faction activities come second to the activities of the main stones. 3. The faction joined would either need to be Shadowlords or Minax, as they are chaotically aligned factions 4. Who would Gm the stone? 5. Where would the stone reside? 6. Would we war the RP guilds we war on the other stones? 7. Would the faction stone fall under the Shadow Collective stances that the rest of the guilds do? 8. Would there be enough mixture i.e. thieves, smiths, mages, warriors to be successful enough? So give me your thoughts on this, good, bad, and what not. Thanks Ari

I think it serves as a nice outlet for PvP and as anyone know...factions, with proper teamwork...can be fun. A lot of people get disheartend when they go factions alone. With a group our size, and as some of us have multiple characters on our stone. I would gladly place either Tenebrous or my new necromancer on the stone. Most likely Tenebrous though. Problem is, most Atalan only HAVE one Atalan Character. As for who GM'ed that stone...if it falls under SC Order...any of those respective leaders is fine in my book.

I fear for my life. And my regs. They might get stolen. And. Oh my, I might die! You should all be careful there! smirks FYI: I think you can only have one character per account in factions. Avalon

LadyLustUO Story Teller Posts: 1 (2/9/03 10:06 pm) Reply	Re: A thought about factions.... I think this is a great idea. I follow Factions weekly and I urge you to chose Minax Faction. Of the two, Minax is definately the most promising.. Lady Lust

Ariyana Sune Coven Priestess Posts: 197 (2/10/03 12:40 pm) Reply	Re: Stone i also have a house in felluca that the stone could be placed at, in fact the recent thoughts i had on it was that either myself of my roommate could actually be the stone holder since the likelyhood of either one of us being around and on at most times is pretty good. I will purchase a stone today and get it set up, I think setting up some ground rules would be a great idea, and then just letting you all have your fun from there. Ill put more thought into this afternoon, we can add as we go along... Ari
LeviTy420 Master Story Teller Posts: 48 (2/10/03 1:34 pm) Reply	Re: Stone A couple of things I'd like some answers on before you run off an jump in Minax. Obviously there's always ups and downs for each of the factions, I'd like to know what their current situation is for membership, and how they are doing overall. I'd rather not see us join the leading Faction, and having it overrun the other factions, I'd rather come up from the depths. Also a solid name, and call sign if anyone has some good ideas on those would be good to have. And as for rules, I'm sure the leaders can meet and discuss them, but I hope they somewhat conform to the Urk's rules of engagement. In Fellucia, near anything goes, in trammel the regular RP rules. I've been ganked by the Urks about 4 times in the last 5 days, twice without warning, and to tell you the truth it hasn't bothered me one bit, because they've always res'd, and I've always gotten my stuff back. Due to the number of wars they have, I have to be able to understand they are a little itchy when it comes to combat, I think it has to be the same for us. That's my take on it, if anyone else has some ideas I'd love to hear em, or ideas on the Stone name/Call sign. Or is it just the Shadow Collective, which works too. Avalon Sagan Priest

I personally like Minax because I already have a crafter in the faction,and also quite a few friends that are in it. But I will bow to the majority if its decided otherwise.
Ariyana Sune Coven Priestess Posts: 199 (2/10/03 11:44 pm) Reply	Re: Stone Why could it not simply be called Shadow Collective? ill put a poll up for you all to vote minax or Shadowlords You all decide
MadCeltUSA Master Story Teller Posts: 43 (2/11/03 9:45 am) Reply	Re: Stone As I said before, my sons are in Minax, so it gets my vote.. As to a name I would think the Shadow Collective works fine, as it doesn't disassociate it from it's roots.
