The first phase of the Dangerous Games has officially begun. Have you been paying attention?

This is your opportunity. All this time we've whined about being a red-headed step-child, not keeping up with PC, not really apart of the greater Community. Well, put your money where your mouth is. This is it.
Whomever wins this vote will be added to the already existing group of Finalists to be given the honor of creating the next Power Play faction, for a total of six contestant groups. Most of the selection process involved large PMF (Player Minor Factions) which the PC side had the obvious advantage, as they've had the game for significantly longer than we have. However, XBOX is still being represented.
For example one of the Finalists, GalCop, has formed a coalition of groups including both PC and XBOX. XBOX participants in that coalition include EXO, Pixel Bandit Security Force, and the East India Company has an XBOX Division (shameless plug). I've also seen XBOX CMDR's flying for the Paladin Consortium. And there may be others that I'm not aware of!
Of the Wildcard entries, I know that Planet Express is XBOX-based, and I have seen XBOX CMDR's flying for Achenar Immortals and the Imperial Inquisition. And I thought that Adle's Armada was open to XBOX pilots also, but do not quote me on that as I may be mistaken.
So, I've cast my vote. Are you going to? Do you want to participate in the creation of Elite Lore, help mold the future of the game? Or do we sit back and watch and complain that the PC guys get all the attention?
In need of some background? Well there's not much time but I'll try. Reddit has been interviewing the participants with weekly AMA's, so look there. Also, some threads:

My last attempt at garnering attention for this event here on the XBOX forum...some extra tidbits and it was graced by comments from Walt Kerman, who is a very influential member and patriarch of the largest of the Groups, the Border Coaltion:

Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best. I am not involved in the larger process, merely a member of a participating group. But I find it all fascinating, and even more fascinating is that the XBOX Community seems to be mostly ignoring it...do not miss this opportunity to help shape our game!
EDIT: Here is an advertisement for GalCop, which is the coalition I am involved with. Trying not to be biased here...but it is the only group of PMF's (Player Minor Faction) that boast a large number of offical XBOX partners...We are already a finalist, not part of the Wildcard vote.

Again, this is my pledged group, but there are others. Please research and find out what all parties involved are aiming for. Start with the links I have provided above. In my previous thread, which is linked, has a video advertisement from the Border Coalition. Definitely a must-watch! And there are four other competitors to learn about!
