Discussion of Order Council

[Jinx]

what you can do ... before cursing the entire idea ... is to give it a try. - a true trial period of maybe one month - and after that one month - you can try to collect the positive experience from such a council - as well as the negative impressions.

i know - it is harder to loose something that appears to be established, but when you agree that you ( and that means everyone ) give it a one month trial - after which the council ends automaticly - UNLESS it turns out to be causing something beneficial for the order AND the players of the order ( again - including every order IDed RPer ) - then you can still decide to keep it going.

so far - it has not been decided what kinds of decision are being made in such an order council anyway. - it has also not been mentioned what "sanctions" one must suffer for not following - if any anyway.

when we look over to the council of the zoners - something comes to mind.

i once read that an indicator of a good democracy where everyone is given the right to participate is .... when the vocal organs to voice ones opinion ( like the parlament or other representative institutions ) are mostly abandoned and empty. - in such systems it is hard to even find someone to be a chairman. while in a dictatorship - such things like a representative parlament ( which is utterly useless there ) is usually full with participants - and the political interest is MUCH greater than in democracies.

last time the zoner council needed a chairman - no one wanted to be the leader of that council. - no one was interested - until mal stepped in again and agreed to keep going. -

once the order council is "established" after it turns out to be a beneficial institution - you might rather suffer the same "problem" than the other way round. - i daresay you d rather have to force people to activly participate than to be overwhelmed by interested players who all want to voice their opinion.

and if one is not voted to be a representative in the council - do what every good demoracy does with their representatives .... blame them when something does match 100% with your opinion:).

... but really...

i d suggest to give it a trial period. - no one can tell if its detrimental or beneficial without trying.
