I agree for the most part with you're points. New Monarchy, I'm sorry, but the whole ruler idea is just a bad idea. Especially one that can't even be removed by vote. And I am a DO representative(I got the mark) that has also shown love for FWC recently(current faction now). Dead Orbit is right about wanting to find new lands to inhabit, but also I don't want to run because we must fight the darkness or else it will prevail. I find myself at the middle ground. To me this is my hopeful plan. We should expand and have a back up place to move and inhabit if we fail at keeping the darkness back, but we should not run. We need to stay and fight and when the darkness does consume the earth, that is when we will move to our already set up back up base. I am a FWC and DO. I can't rightfully choose to run. But I also will not let the darkness consume my light if I have the option to retreat and continue the fight as long as I can.
