Inagawa-kai

[Ellipsis]

I would say this is pretty decent, however almost all faction applications say something about how ‘they want to be different’ and ‘focus less on grinding’. Realistically, what are your plans for that. If this was approved right this moment, how would you incentivize your faction members to do other things when the server economy is in its current state?

I understand your point completely and have actually seen other say the same thing.

My intention is to really make each and every player feel like there are unique and have their own place in Inagawa-kai regardless of rank. All I see from many of the larger factions when they people is just them making the brand new player stand at a door for an hour before bringing them into the faction and giving them money with the only order to go and grind shipments. This is not what players especially new players would find fun, it should be noted that this is the first experience of the server this new player is getting so it is vital that special care is given to each new player to get them involved with exciting things that I plan on creating, which if done correctly, I am sure that this is the sort of thing that can bring a new player back, money and grinding while a big part of the server is not what the server is about. It would be good practice for not only the faction I wish to create but other factions who like to cooperate with it to get used to making frequent attempts for some kind of interaction other then just standing there talking until the server lets them know their shipment has arrived.  

Some basic ideas I personally would find very fun would be:
Hosting Car Shows

Frequent gatherings with other groups at dinners and actually make use of the restaurants many factions have instead of them being empty all the time. 

Something I would really like to see, specifically for those factions with gun stores or good relations are trade talks and negotiations about factions buying a large amount of guns, then potentially with support from the game master team or simply those with PET flags we could have our guys help transport the guns via flatbed trucks. 

Obviously you can't also forget the other events such as poker nights, challenges, even training such as teaching our guys the best ways to deal with "Messes" and gun attachments and how to deal with raider etc.
