Guild based vs faction based

[Hoofhurr]

Interesting. I guess I was basing my statement off of Vallon Zek where as it became apparent that the darkies were going to decimate every other team the lighties all united and made it a 2 faction game. Clearly a lot of people were willing to abandon influence in favor of success. Human psychology dictates that success is a strong motivating factor but so is ego. I've simply noticed in games that success usually wins. You have to have a mechanic that preserves the little guy and doesn't make him irrelevant.
