i think we'll have to agree to disagree. nothing you're saying provides any justification for faction consultants.
"entire faction management duty" - it shouldn't be that hard if you've good faction leaders. faction leaders are what's important and they should be highlighted and credited way more than any consultant or made up role you want to add.
"DM factions" - literally what admins are for, not something faction management should be dealing with as no faction should ever get to that point.
i don't think faction consultants are inherently good rpers at all. just like helpers, it is a role you apply for and unfortunately means nothing in terms of quality of player, just willingness to abide and apply - this is not discrediting those individuals who are either role, but your focus on the matter implies you care far too much about trivial administration tasks/forum work over engaging gameplay.
when i joined the server, faction leaders were treated like gold because they held together large groups of players and provided 95% of the engagement for their faction/the server.
my honest suggestion - find actual faction leaders who want to roleplay and then listen to them instead of "consulting" with them. they're the ones with the faction, they're the ones getting the people online, they're the ones making the game, stop making their choices for them.
What led you in believing faction leaders weren’t treated like you're suggesting?
Not a single consultant is hired because of their willingness to abide and apply, that’s not what the role stands for at all. Each individual within the team is experienced or easier said, had their own time leading different factions themselves so you tell me how they aren’t inherently good rpers at all as described by you. Not to forget this time around most of them were actively leading core factions for the server too.
