I'm going to be genuine as a GOC Player, Id hate to see a change like this as for more reasons than one I enjoy the GOC's Prescence.
1-Sure CI is cool and can bring interesting RP like Infiltration,Secrecy,Subterfuge, and all that but a faction like true Lore CI would be incredibly hard to pull off with our current numbers on the server and the GMOD Community as a whole which really enjoys combat and short gains over LONG Deep infiltration missions where the foundation has to watch their backs and not trust anyone around them and we already have SH for a Strict hate the Foundation mentality faction that also have Magic and Cloaks fulfilling the Infiltration/Assymetric Warfare Ideal for the server making CI if it gets added (If I'm reading this correctly) just feel like a watered down Serpents hand that copies a lot of its Gimic's except for the magic but replacing it with like 3 guys who cause constant defection reasons.
2-The GOC being here gives people that want to RP Blowing up and finding ways to Destroy Anomalies a Faction to feel at home in, I can say from talking to a few people that quite a Few including myself like that mentality as a core building block of the faction without consuming it, Say for Example CI was to Replace the GOC, Their whole Stick is just using the anomalous as Weapons to create a Utopia and to tear down the oppressors of the Foundation, Which leads into my third Concern.
3-CI AND SH Strictly hate the Foundation and are considered Shoot on site when seen in lore, It will just slow the "Political" Landscape of the Region as both SH and CI simply wish to release the anomalies and to maim the Foundation leading to a heavily hostile enviornment for MTF when they come to the surface which doesn't even note the Infiltration Spam, I for one do not want a constant surface war between three factions to where you cant enjoy the map and where no talking happens, With GOC being here it becomes a lot more Grey as they can be fine with and fight the foundation at the same time depending on the situation
4- I feel like this would be much better discussed in the future when the server population grows.
