My thoughts concerning factions/Indies and other such stuff.

Scornstar -

The Idea of non-faction PC house leaders was something that I lightly touched on in the debate, but was not carried through the debate.

I actually feel that we can make something out of this, so that the factions who control the military do not have the lawmaking and political powers of the actual government.

Having admins do it is out of the question, they more then have their hands full.

The next logical step of course would be HOW to find and choose said individuals, choosing the correct individuals for the position.

Based on a history of RP here, you could have a forum wide vote, utilizing the democratic process, or the admins could choose said individuals, or said individuals could be decided by a vote by only the local factions (including trader, merc and BH factions).

Without such leaders, a self-nominated Leader of the military by default would have control over all processes which should be governmental (hence my reference to military law).

other than this, I have made all my views known in the debate, I have no need of repeating myself.

I think this is truly the only answer and I wish we would just do it.

You could start the whole process very easily--ask Jinx to start selecting nominees. He doesn't have to head it and stay in it--just start selecting initial candidates.

Of all the people hands down I have seen post, Jinx remains the most rational, calm and balanced at all times. I'd also recommend Dusty Lens.

There are others but I am fairly new here and wouldn't presume. I'd have no problem with those two being chair and co-chair to get it going.

What's anyone else think? Someone get this puppy started. Even if it doesn't work out, it is so worth the try.

Applicants could apply privately to Jinx and Dusty and they could select a "ruling panel" to start out with. Factions and individuals could work with them and input ideas but then they would make the final proposals and people could vote on them.

Anything is better than nothing. Once you have it fleshed out, submit it to the admins for a thumbs up or down.

Good saying an old friend of mine used to say, "You can't steer a parked car. Sometimes you have to push it to a hill to get it going."
