Maybe multi-factioning was the wrong word to use.
What I meant was that it would effectively be gaming the rules on faction limits. By effectively making a faction that would have similar alliances and affiliation and position as they already have in the BA, but turning the planet into an independant faction, Mandalorian players, through their alliance with the BA, could technically still have a character in the Jedi or Sith.
Course, if you still had a Senator and were allied with the BA, then that'd make you a BA/Republic world for all intents and purposes anyway, and so you probably wouldn't be allowed to. But then, following that line of logic, if you're still basically a Republic/BA world that OOCly is represented by an Independant faction, then there's no point for the Independant faction to exist anyway, since you'd just be a member world of the Republic like Alderaan, or Chandrila...or like Mandalore already is right now, which kind of makes submitting them as a faction redundant.
I know that...probably makes more sense in my head, but the general point is that the goal of the faction seems to be to get right back to where Mandalore already is, but for some reason being an Independant faction rather than a Republic member-world.
I think this is especially weird because, from the offset, everyone was really perfectly fine with the stance that we took in the Think Tank - that Mandalorians are just people from Mandalore. And now you're trying to make Mandalore a faction again?
