Faction 42934 ×1

If a faction has a number as a position, the API returns that position as an integer instead of a string.
See https://www.torn.com/factions.php?step=profile&ID=42934#/

The basic selection for that faction will have members that have `position: 1` instead of `position: "1"`.

This is a problem when using the API with statically typed languages, and might cause problems with dynamically typed languages too.
