the faction decisions make a lot of sense, not just in an ic actions=ic consequences way but also just for the sake of organization. (my only question might be that because we need to handle it with gravitas, when you guys give us more info, will there be a kind of ideal deadline for us to start picking a side with?)

also thank you for this. if you can imagine me screaming into the void that's pretty much exactly what i looked like over your reply.
