"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[Dieter Schprokets]

I think there are two seperable things being confused here:

1) Actual in-RP Councils, such as the Council of Zoners, Council of Dons, Corsair Elders, who are existing in-RP pseudo-government entities that decide Zoner/Outcast/Corsair policy.

They exist, they are good, no change needed.

A House Military "Council" makes no sense in-RP. Nor a Police council.

2) Other things which are being called Councils in this thread but are really a discussion group or committee. Discussions would be OORP, not in RP. The discussions would occur in General Discussion forum perhaps, in new subforums.

An example concept for Bretonia:

Bretonian Area Discussion Group Subforum

The following players could start a new thread and post there:

-BAF Official Faction, and Indies

-BPA Official Faction, and Indies

-BMM Official Faction, and Indies

-Molly, Gaian, Corsair, Planetform Official Faction, and Indies

-Mandalorians (we are still centred there)

-Any Unofficial Factions (Groups) that are based in Bretonia

-etc...

This mechanism would allow indies and factions and groups to have a voice in the same forum area, dedicated to Bretonia, but it wouldn't be formalized. Decisions would come out of consensus and discussion.

I THINK this meets the original intent of Korrd's idea.
