Sarras, if you look at the posts carefully, you'll see the answer already, there's no need to ruin a perfectly good desk...

Right now there's more important things for the dev's to work on, remember, PS isn't even out in it's official release, it's an in progress game right now (and hopefully "technically" will be forever!)

Looky:
so essentially asking to rewrite half of the setting and half of the quest? :)

That's a lot of work to add onto the dev team's plate. Now that doesn't mean, after the official release, something might come up with some sort of event, eventually overthrowing the government and such, but for the time being, as well as the semi-distant FUTURE (:)), there won't be any changes with the government. (Thought I'd specify the future part, as that was your main frame of time, sorta speak, to your question).

There's still plenty of fun to be had though! (If you're that desperate for some kind of "alternate government", start a cult or something. :P)

(Thought I'd also post, though it'd be a huge event, I would expect, with a lot of work put into it, it would be fun to experience some sort of "hostile takeover" :))

The Octarchy itself will grow and change, but it will remain in charge as long as I am responsible for calling the shots on settings.

A switch to another form of government is not feasible for us to write.

As for autonomous zones, alternate organizations, new regions where the octarchs do not rule, etc, all that is possible provided people actually contribute rather than talking about how boring what we have is.

Now there's a great point if I see one. Citycontest round two: The Stone Labrynths!

Just a reminder that there are consequences for your characters actions, attack an Ulber and you may get a trip to the DR, attack the Octarchy and you may get a trip to the Crystal so "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime".

my character, Sarras, isn't trying to overthrow the Octarchy btw. some people seem to think she is.  ;D
