Factions rise and fall constantly on Chaos, with a few that remain constant and continue to thrive; and though while I've had my fair share (many of which flounder and few that limp on), I've always found the Faction system on this site to be superior and more enjoyable than on similar Star Wars based sites.
I've always thought that it is a good system, and it helps bring like minded characters together; however at the same time, Factions are often either taken directly from Wookieepedia or they're the umpteenth reiteration of another faction. This can be seen as more and more factions are created, many fall back upon older ideas, or they dig up ideas that didn't work in the past, though may work now.
I have on multiple occasions accepted my own role and part in how I've created ideas and abandoned them (often due to inactivity or the being unable to garner the needed member base; even now my longest living faction is still limping along). I've found that being an inclusive faction that caters to everyone can be difficult though not impossible; while at the same time, exclusive factions often have more difficult as you focus upon one aspect or group and often enough it isnt a large enough group of individuals or your exclusive focus is not as widely desired.
Factions that seem to focus on Force Users always burst at the seems, while Factions that focus on Non-Force Users seem to squander or limp along (I understand that the Force is the big draw for Star Wars; though its a draw that has been abused).
With ideas constantly on the rise though, its difficult to find something concrete, that one great breakout hit that doesnt fizzle a month in and whose members stick with the faction.
And while I've my own ideas, and interest, I've always found myself wondering what kind of factions do other members want to see on the board?
I'm not talking about dragging up some older faction, I'm talking about ideas that people would like to see attempted and built upon.
What kind of faction would you like to see?
