Event group again? Minor faciton

[Ravanger]

Main idea is that I am makeing it into a event faction or basiclly a Minor faction.

Well folks I thought it would be best if we reverted to more of an event group. Of course I would be in-charge of this event group and Duran haveing close ties in as well.
Thing is I would rather have other facitons around this time have more members to engage with etc. I think it would fit us best as well since we are only Outerguardsmen of the Monolith and  so forth.


Being Monolith also may get boring or too overly aggresive against the server  and haveing this will remove some of the stress of it and allow for some other opening room.


Another thing for doing this is so that we coudl focus more on roleplay with the faction instead of lol survival and fighting for other crap.

I'd miss the Monolith if it were only an event group...
I'd agree if we were a minor faction, Just up until we get some more recruits?
Then we can launch into the big world again...Gathering our forces, Collecting weaponary.
Educating New learners.

If this would be an event group, you could always hit'n'run stalkers, make people afraid (of losing their gear, but still).
Although I suggest that nobody should leave the non-monolith major factions if Monolith would become a minor faction/event faction.

Alright.
Everyone who i could find online in steam friends who is a member of the Monolith have gathered in a chat.
I set up a vote system.
I said that Vote 1 = Minor Faction
I said Vote 2= Event only Group
And that Vote 3 = Remain a Major faction

All the votes can down to Vote Three...Remain a major faction...
This is entirely up to you Rov, But you know our opinions and what we want.

Also as you can see we are able to organise ourselves and i think if you give us a chance we'll continue your great work supporting the Monolith.

Thanks.

With all due respect, Rov, I personally do not think that we are going the right way with this by cutting down a Major Faction, such as the Monolith, into an Event Group or a Minor Faction.

Overtime, if the Monolith is reduced to a Minor Faction, people will gradually lose interest with this faction, the only interaction we commonly have with the outside world is fending off raids to the centre of the facility.
Changing it to an event faction will not make it any more different than it is now, infact, it will make it worse, because despite our hardships, a good handful of the Monolith try and remain active on the server all the time, to keep the monolith alive, to keep peoples interests in it keen, and to remind them of their place.
It's our best interests to see the best come out of this group, and the majority of the fighters believe that this is not the way to go.

Changing our current situation will only divert the minds of those loyal to the Monolith to their other characters, the Monolithian will waste away until it is eventually plucked from the character menu for the odd event, or alternatively; the character disappears all together, with the rest of the Monolith, a death due to inactivity, because events regarding the Monolith are far and few enough already, but we can fix that without changing anything.

However, I can see where you are coming from, but I do not think that's exactly right.
For whilst we are the Outer Guardsman of the zone, we are still the Monolith, a zealous group of brainwashed stalkers who are orientated to following the will of their master to their dying wish.
That there strikes fear into the heart of the Stalker population, and that is what our goal is as a Monolithian, to prevent access to the centre, and to essentially put them off doing so...

Getting rid of the Monolith will have the adverse effect, instead of having a big brother to strike at any would-be stalker who think they are good enough to venture everywhere, they simply could just do as they please without fear or having to be cautious, which in it's own right is taking a large slice out of the atmosphere that is the SRP server, and encouraging people to scavenge in places where they should not without so much as a second thought for their health.

Also, I see you have also mentioned the RP, something different to do other than sitting around infront of a gate and hoping that we will survive another day whilst eventually poking around outside.
That's not how it's supposed to be, we do survive, we survive well enough and we run things well enough already.
However, what drives the steak into the heart of the Monolith right now is currently the lack of organization, all we have on the server nowadays is a couple of Brothers and maybe a few Masters, who have to make up their own decisions on how they do their job, and the only thing they can do is guard a gate without a superior to order them.

We do not have the ranks interact with eachother enough, maybe because of the lack of high-ranking Monolithians, if we had something like a preacher, per say, to guide a group of us on the server, then fuck, some RP might emerge that is not a firefight nor guarding a gate.

My two cents, I want to talk to you about this Rov, if you get the time.

Well I was not focusing heavily on event group more or less it would be a minor faction. I just really don't think we should be a main faction in this sector anyways. We would still run and be a faction etc you could get on same as you do now but you could be in another faction. I have lead and been in monolith for a long time and active most the time as well, I really don't see us as being a major faction in this sector. I just posted this up to have it around and I have the full authority over this so the voteing won't really matter but I want to hear what you all think.

Another reason for this is the fact of the activity on the server with factions such as Freedom haveing lots of members and cash. Then military and duty limited cash and activity so more or less I wanted to encourage joining those factions.

[Smithy]

I support any action you take on this Rav...I was just stating what others wanted, As well as myself.

[Steven :D]

Minor please

[Ravanger]

Minor please

Thats what I am gonna be most likely possible somewhat of a fusion but I am still workin it out.

[darkzerxx]

if it becomes a event faction or minor that mean people are able to be monolith and say freedom :> WHY DID I LOSE MY MONOLITH QwQ

[Frostee]

Making it a minor faction would allow people to be in another faction, while making it an event faction would probably create 'easier' RP, so to speak.

[Ravanger]

Really my point being I am going to make it a combo of both consdiering we aren't set on perfectly clear bounds.

[Reorp]

So, Is monolith going to be a minor? Or is it still major faction at the moment?
