you do understand that groupme, line, kik are all social media apps????? some apps like "line" and "kik" are very intrusive and allow you to make phone calls to people you are friends with right there within the app.... so its kind of funny to me that someone would not want to when use facebook because you want to keep real life seperated from social media but yet you suggest to use another social media app????? and why wouldnt we want to use what the majority already has setup and is using? whats wrong with convenience? whay is being inconvenient better? maybe its not clear to everyone that a facebook group page is very very different then a regular facebook page. a regular facebook page has a live news feed which filters in everything that you allow to be filtered in from the people that you have accepted to be on your friends list and from organizations, activities, companies, etc., that you have clicked the "like" box on. so a regular facebook page has a lot of garbage on it unless you go into you settings and filter some of it out. A facebook group page is a discussion page (not a live news feed) isolated away from everything else thats on facebook to provide a place for a group of people to join (not using friend requests) to have an on going discussion like we have in game. the difference from in game is that it doesn't write over itself and it allows for the people in the group to share pics, videos, links etc. as far as the setup, all these apps require basically the same information and the only real difference between all of these social media apps is format and popularity. im discussing this with Manticore and I'm pretty sure shes going to talk me into having a vote over what social media app we end up using to communicate outside the game, i just wanted to respond to some of the things that have been expressed so far.Hi this is First Citizen I would like to thank end times for creating this alliance, I have found a very happy home here. Going forward, I fully support Armyvet and Manticore in assuming leadership of the alliance. A few things: I like the name last rites, good idea. I think whatever our name is something grim and foreboding of imminent doom is very fitting. So hats off on that Also I would like to see a rules change of not forcing people to have a Facebook account. My decision to not have social media in my life is my own. I am not hiding anything. I have been nothing but a gentleman since I joined this alliance and easily contribute over 200 samurai a week for this alliance. When I joined with you guys there was no stipulation that I had to have a FB account. I think it is important for each and everyone of us to separate this game, fantasy, from facebook, reality. That is after all why we play these games, to assume an alternate character even for a moment in time. Let's not blur the lines between the two and use conveince as an excuse. There are plenty of other ways for us all to keep in touch. Use groupme, it's really a good program. I am not lying when I say that I am an adult. I was born in 1982 and just turned 33. Also I think that all major and minor decisions should be put to a fair and democratic vote. I hope that you all continue to allow me to stay in this alliance. Thank you, and good hunting First Citizen
