EP, Lucky, crazyfists still pretty much head up the AWC.
Plenty of us showing our faces here, just not shouting about the AWC because while it still exists it'll at the least be overhauled come V2.

Urrgh... Too many outside forums and work are blocking them all.

I have dispatched an emissary to keep an eye on things.
I withhold any comment til further action is indicated.

I too think the AWC is crumbling.
There is no show of force for any
period of time like the RDD and DSA.

Jesus Prime and Windracer have been nominated to lead this new faction. All are welcome. No members will be turned away. Together we can show that the Sub Factions are in fact useful and important.

OK. I was waiting to chime in until I figured out what was going on since I was gone for two weeks.

First of all I just want to say that some of you need a big lesson in politics. If you know that there is animosity between the official site and the subfactions, popping up with some new subfaction to force the issue is not a good idea. I can only assume the purpose of this is to create even more animosity because that is the only thing it can accomplish.

If you want to have a group of people tutor new players or show people around then I applaud your kindness. However, that is not the real reason behind this. The REAL reason as stated in my qouted text from Goribus is to make a statement to the staff of this site. Congratulations, your statement has been made and this new subfaction will not be recognized on any level by the HMW staff.


Now...On to important things.
I understand the subfactions are going to exist wether we like it or not.
We have one of two choices:

1. Continue on the course we are on.

2. Take a diplomatic approach and talk about what needs to be done within the game to help accomodate what the members of the subfactions are looking for. Obviously the subfactions are filling a need among the players. Let's talk about how myself and the moderators can develop the HMW pieces of seibertron.com in a way that will help meet those needs.

I am going to start a new thread for this discussion if any of you are interested in option number 2.
