Yeah but since he made the suggestion that doesn't automatically makes him the new leader. IF this gets accepted, it will be Manager/SA's decision to put in power a new leader for the faction.
I don't hate the idea, but I don't love it. I'm going to give it a -1 based on the fact that I just don't think its really needed for the time being. If someone can give some good evidence for a need of a new faction i'll change it, but for now I'm sticking with a -1.
