What I want, is for this to be acceptable to myself so that I don't have to ignore all the RP that comes out of it as if it were OoRP. Wolfpack's refusal to pick someone else to lead it, or allow the independent community self-determination in the selection of the independents upon the council, rings so many alarm bells in my head that I cannot do that right now. I can be ignored, quite easily. As you said, it shouldn't be the place for someone who has been here less than 5 minutes (I will quickly concede that point to you), but it isn't about the time I have spent, and all about the fact that myself, and others as well, are not being listened to. I have (soon to be had, and soon after that to be have again, maybe. This council thing bothers me though.) an order character. As such, what is going on here is of importance to me. I am concerned that who was chosen doesn't represent the community as it should be represented. You appear to share my same concerns. The difference between us is I am not, nor will I ever be Bs|. I don't have to listen to Wolfpack. What he says is not law to me. As such, I can question his decisions, as I am doing now.
He is NOT inspiring faith in -HIS- council to me. I do not disagree with the general orders. They seem pretty good. I do not disagree outright with his choice of the Bs| members or the size of the council that he wants established. What I disagree with is his refusal to let the independents pick their own representation, or the right of the council to select its own leadership. He fears democracy, rightly so maybe. The biggest problem with Democracies is without force, there is no discourse in good times, which allows evil times to come. The thing is though, Democracies reduce oppression. If a leader can be ejected peacefully by the will of the people, there is no reason for resistance. The person who is tolerated best leads the group. I'm not directly opposed to a dictatorship, I just believe that the dictator of the Order Council should at least start out as a moderate. So the solution is to Replace Wolfpack with someone who isn't striking up as many sparks. His resistance to the idea of being replaced by someone else causes great concern for myself, and it appears to be others as well. If the leadership of the council is so powerless, how come he won't relinquish it? Why does he keep refusing to pass it off to another, someone outside his own control? What makes his control worth people not willfully following his council? This refusal is a direct contradiction to General Order #3, and makes me wonder about his motivations. This is especially true with his broad, hostile, personal attack on all dissident from any source.
Actually, I take something back. I do have a problem with the General orders. Black Squadron should not be mentioned in council general orders. The council is not the black squadron. However, this is all schematics, and as such not really important at the current date.
