And by the way, the flaw with this system is that it builds upon solidarity within the factions. And as you might also know solidarity is not one of the most remarkable traits amongst gamers.
I think the generic high-level player will think something around the line of "I owe these n00bs nothing!". The only ones who would join up were the ones who were not doing anything else at the moment. Still a scheme like Mongojerry's could maybe work out if there were a big enough constant pool of idlers that could be attracted.
