I am trying to start a guild. I have three people including myself, do I make a topic in the faction child board or PM a mod for the OK?
To start a faction, it takes three people (including yourself) to start one. From there on, you may capture a plot of land for your guildhouse / faction headquarters. To gain any more plots of land, you must ask an operator first if you are allowed to.
That was copy/pasted from the faction forum's rule thread. I assume because it says you need to ask a mod for more land, but not if you can make a faction thread, that you don't need to.
Secondly, aren't you an operator? Why would you even need to ask?
He's a trial mod, and everything regarding factions is... sketchy... At the least.
Either some obviously needed to be taken down factions need to be taken down or we need some to go IC kill a guild.
Maybe not take down or ic kill some but have a council that can vote on if a faction is to be allowed or not, have some better rules and other such things.
Make a new thread in factions.
The rules (all together and specifically referring to factions) may need some revision and alteration but I think that should wait 'till James (and maybe all Terraria mods) are present to discuss what to do.
