noone i believe of the opposing forces wants you guys of the UIF to leave, for once indepentenly of strat and clan/faction affiliations there are friendships between players, but the main reason if you haven't got a worthy opponent it becomes boring.
As far as i have seen through the posts here, equally UIF or others, would appreciate a respec of PP.
So this is not about politics, but as said before about a rule change which was there from start and now changes the basic economy. If this economy is now fucked up because of that rule change, whats the point of even trying to play strat, as for most factions it is about setting up first their eco and on top of that, their capabilities for warfare.
Also Kesh is totally right about not including more, but less micro management. For most of us it was a great relieve to see that we would have less micromanagement this reset. That the S&D introduction basicly fucked up the game for independent traders is still not really solved by those new rules. Even if you would put all the singleplayers into one big trading faction they wouldn't be allowed trading, as factions will always try to have as much as possible control over their income.
Perhaps
reduce the PP cost of taxes, that way factions may setup really high taxes at places they don't want anyone to trade and low taxes where they would allow it. If someone then fucks up their S&D at high tax places, well at least they get something out of it.
For this include the actual amount of taxes into the info box on top left when you click on a fiefs name.
EDIT: additionaly perhaps a max limit % of tax, so fief owners can't go over f.e. 40%; that combined with less PP for tax changes, so fief owners would be able to change the taxes in a fair amount of time.
@Pygar
and again another misconception which also has nothing to do with this topic. As far as i know, Bjord got essay banned because of his interactions with an admin and he isn't anymore through his essay and his promises.
