So I'm the FM of the ASE(Abwehran Star Empire) currently, but those who have been around have probably noticed, there isn't much going on with the right now. I'm making this thread to speak about that and ask for help in some ways. It's not in the Faction thread cause I might find what I need from people who are not currently GMs.
Let's start with why I took up the FM title for the ASE. Originally I had no intention of becoming the FM of the ASE, I jsut liked the faction and enjoyed using their species and locations in my plot, I also had one of the few active Abwehran characters at the time, but I was an independent player, I didn't have any experience RPing in the faction itself. But then the time came when old factions with no FMs were being cleared out, and the ASE was on the list.(Which was indeed the right call, nothing wrong with that.) Well everything I had built up for my RP was pretty strongly based in operating out of ASE space, so this was really bad for me as a GM. Me and someone else decided we'd take over the FM and Co-FM slots of the ASE in order to keep it around since we both liked them. We decided that I'd be head FM since they were kinda already one foot out the door of the site anyway and I had no intention of leaving any time soon. And that's how I came into possession of the FM title of the ASE, it was in order to keep the faction from disappearing.
Now that I had the FM rights though, I had to do somethings to try and get the faction running, I didn't want the faction to fall apart on my account. So behind the scenes I got the ground work going and some arrangements. At the time I was over booked myself and couldn't run a plot for the ASE as well as my own stuff. Some plans were laid out and it looked like everything was going well, but well things fell through, and then as I like to call it "The great kerfuffle" happened and things had gotten really bad for SARP. People were acting a fool left and right. Even before that happened I had moments where I was considering leaving, but ever since it's been hard to want to throw myself fully into SARP and invest super heavily in something like running a faction.
So that brings us to now, the ASE still hasn't made any big moves, but it's still around. I want to ask if there are people who would like to work together with me to try and get the ASE back on their feet as a living breathing faction. I still have my own plot that I'm running so I don't think I can fully solo GM another plot myself, so GMs and people with ideas would be a great help. And of course we'll need players too.
