So if I'm going to play the Faction game it'd be nice to play one with other players and some DM assistance. What factions are the most active?

Sensates are certainly the faction with the most members, though from my (limited) experience most of their member don't really do any faction politics/philosphy stuff, so while they have a large number of active players, the faction itself is less active in a way.

I know we've gotten quite a few Indeps recently, though I'm not sure how faction-active they are.

Signers is similar to Sensates.

Doomguards are low in numbers, but their few players tend to be very active in terms of faction politics/philosophy.

There's not many of us Athar, but I try to be active (as do others). The Harmonium is probably fairly active. The Mercykillers seem to have a few active members.

The Signers are not in the same boat as the Sensates considering Im the most active that promotes the faction. Theres a few about that are signers but dont politicaly try do stuff.

far as I know the dms help any faction though if something came up the players wanted to do.

Worth mentioning, I know there's a handful of Godsmen and Ciphers as well.

Midnight plays one of the few active Dustmen, though I don't think I've seen her about in a while. I know a handful of people have side characters they made to explore the concept, Vandole has a ghoul for example, but they're rare sights and that's about it overall. One of the least active, probably.

There was a poll about this a while ago, not sure how relevant it is anymore, but...

Sadly, since not every player visits the forum (even some of the more active players aren't regularly on the forums), the poll isn't that accurate. I know for a fact that there's a few Chaosmen players, for instance. :nod:

The doomguard also have a fair bit of PCs, alas its not as active as it used to be, same for the Guvners.

There are also plenty of people with alts in some faction who would be probably all fine to bring them back from idleness for some RP.

and... Don't join faction because of the perceived activity, sometimes having few players in a faction means more attention getting your way and more chances to get promoted.
