Talk:Faction (alliance)

Ill advised move, methinks
Or at least poorly named, as "alliance" is a keyword in GWF. 03:39, 21 March 2006 (CST)


 * This IS the "Faction" that relates to "alliances" this is why I named it Faction (alliance). --Karlos 03:42, 21 March 2006 (CST)


 * However, a faction isn't an alliance. In fact, I think "faction" helps to explain "alliance", not the other way around. 03:43, 21 March 2006 (CST)


 * You're understanding the brackets differently. I understand the brackets as wikipedia does, like when they say "Rollback (data management)" it doesn't mean that rollback IS a data management, it means rollback as related to data management. So, Faction (alliance) is Faction as related to the issue of alliance. I would even like to move Faction (statistic) to Faction (PvP). Because it is faction as related to PvP. Faction Statistic and Faction Entity are not intuitive. --Karlos 04:01, 21 March 2006 (CST)


 * Do not move faction (statistic) to faction (PvP). Instead, call it like the game does -- "Faction of Balthazar" (or whatever the exact phrase is -- I'd fire up GW to check if I were not confined to Linux for the next several hours). Then make a disambig page and redirect as appropriate.


 * As regard to my point, you didn't respond to how "alliance" clarifies "faction" in this instance. "Entity" I think was more accurate and perspicuous, though it wouldn't have been my first naming choice. My first choice would be to call the factions in GWF simply "Faction", and have a disambig link to "Faction of Balthazar". This has the benefit of being exactly how they are referred to in game (as far as we know). 04:12, 21 March 2006 (CST)


 * Agreed on "Faction with Balthazar," as for answering your question, I did. "Faction (alliance)" means "Factions as related to the concept of alliances" --Karlos 04:24, 21 March 2006 (CST)

Hmmm, I was under the impression that you align your player with one faction, but that an alliance is some sort of meta-guild formed by up to 10 guilds. How are factions going to be related to alliances? --Xeeron 04:38, 21 March 2006 (CST)
