About Factions

Some games you player have a faction system to keep track of your reputation or standing with a group of in game npcs, towns, villages or even that rambling drunk who may have that rusty key your looking for. I have created a simple easy to upgrade system as a starting point for any developer to easily merge and create factions for their players to join and work with.
