Why does it have to matter if certain people only play with other certain people? And how is this not contributing to the server? Their players for gods sake. They provide something different than shoot em up.
On the topic of cliques and stuff. Well. Those are inevitable, simply because of how socializing works. A lot of marines are downright stupid. So those of us who aren't stupid stick together. This unfortunately means there is now a sort of clique. It isn't stoppable unless you outright ban all of those in said clique. Forming Sanctum or Banter is simply a list of common marine names, that way those on the list can know who has their back and isn't stupid.
And perhaps marriage isn't fitting for this server, but honestly, the only time any sort of marriage stuff comes up, is this single incident where the MPs failed miserably, and the CMO did a shit job. I don't think marriage has come up other than being in the flavor text of characters. I didn't even know Tanya and Mike were married. And frankly I don't really give a damn. They wanna rp marriage? Let em. As long as they follow the rules I see no problem.
It's not the "good players/badplayers" clique I'm worried about. It's the "special players" cliques I'm worried about. Where a group of players become super inseperable, and will team-up/work together against individuals who don't meet their standard or offend one of the players. That's my worry.
. Right back on topic, if I may I have seen the good and bad rp relationships can do. It can destroy friendships and create a lot of fallout, I have been in in game relationships on SS13 and other games, actually married a friend from one rp game on a different one when we played together and honestly it is some of the best rp I ever had a chance to be apart of. That being said we both are adults and basically set up rules although our characters are madly in love with one another we keep it very pg, kissing yea and little stuff like that, but nothing over the line. I also have been engaged in this same game before my character was married and after finding out that my fiancé had cheated in my character which again we chatted about and set up the rp my character who was a rising military general for England and basically was told by the king of England if there was a war I would be one of the main people to lead their armies, the backlash from other players upset our characters were no longer together and the drama mill was one of the reasons my character was removed from the military and basically ostracized from the community. No one literally wanted to chat with him in the taverns and such because of the scandal and this was even something the two characters who had agreed to break up had done because drama. So some good and bad that can occur just as a example.
