Faction Name Clarification

The mod team has had several players contact us expressing confusion over the faction names, uncertainty on how exactly to address each one, and dissatisfaction over the clunkiness of the current titles. After some discussion we've decided we agree that the current designations are a touch too austere. We'll be enacting a slight change and giving each one a formal name.

The north faction will be called Kita.
The east faction will be called Higashi.
The south faction will be called Minami.
The west faction will be called Nishi.

The new names are simply the Japanese words for each direction, so hopefully this will be easy to remember! Note that these new names will be used in addition to the old ones. '[direction] faction' will still be used as a description and informal way of addressing each group. ICly, you're welcome to assume that various characters use more formal or grammatically correct ways of referring to each faction but we ask that you stick to the listed options for both simplicity and clarity's sake.

We'll be updating the information pages to reflect this change.
