Talk:Arkanian Dominion

Reforming into Hyper-Communications Cartel

As me and Sovan have exchanged some DMs about the issue I'd like to take this to a public discussion on here as well. I got the following (I just summarized) message from Sovan the other day:

I would like to know what to do with the Arkanian Dominion's page. 
We have just been accepted into the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and to make it easier for RP purposes once we go faction 
(18 days left till factionship), we've gone ahead and changed our name. 
It was not something I originally intended on doing, but it made perfect logical sense when others discussed it with me.

I don't necessarily want all the data to be lost forever by deleting the page, 
but at the same time, I want it to be open to others in case someone else wants the Dominion name.

We'll be making a holocron page for the Hyper-Communications Cartel soon 
so I didn't want the information about how I run the Dominion and other things to conflict. 
In fact, as far as the Holocron is concerned, I'd rather the history of the 2nd Dominion never happened. 
That way, we can edit the history of the HCC to fit our own bill.

I personally (as I told him already) am of the oppinion that IC the 2nd Arkanian Dominion as a NFG did happen (although of course it doesn't reflect and so it should be reflected in the history of the new faction the Hyper-Communications Cartel and the Holocron article should stay in place as well (as I do like the information it has). On the other side, the issue then remains that the Arkanian race is not part of the Combine and the Arkanian Dominion fighting for recognition of the "Arkanians" as the ruling race of Arkania is confusing (although IC confusing as that's just what the NFG stood for) so I can see the argument for deleting the (2nd) Arkanian Dominion as well and being able to write the Hyper-Communications Cartel history as free as possible. Although in my oppinion it shouldn't be so easy as to just "delete" the history of the Cartel and the Dominion by deleting information on the holocron as IC the history would (very awkwardly) still have happened and some people would remember. I can see both sides of the argument but am leaning more towards keeping the 2nd Arkanian Dominion as the predecessor of the HCC. Any other oppinions? --Qatar Shendo 23:32, 6 April 2012 (GMT)
