New Order/BlackSquadron Role Play Rules

[Tenacity]

Ok, I just want to give my personal view on what the whole point of this is:

-nobody is trying to control anyone else, that may have been what wolf intended when this idea was proposed, but I dont think that's what it's about anymore.

-Rather than having black squadron or specific independents decide how roleplay will be done by -anyone- of the faction, the council will consist of numerous order players, and will be an RP-BASED group dedicated to making major decisions for the order. Not everyone has to follow those decisions as long as they're still following basic order RP.

Such an example: I have issues with the outcasts, they constantly smuggle cardamine through our space (guard system in particular), they're always running outcast destroyers through major/minor/100, and they attack our allies several times a day. Now, a while back, I made a post declaring 'war' on the outcasts (and yes, I was wrong in doing so), without backing from ANY other order members. That made me look like an idiot, to be honest, because I made a decision for quite a lot of order players without them even having a say in it, luckily nothing serious came from that.

With the council, however, I could bring those concerns to light and ask for a vote on what we should do - should we declare open hostilities against the outcasts, or should we keep ignoring them and considering them nuetral? How will this effect our diplomacy with other organizations around sirius, and how will it effect our own resources (meaning, if we have to divert half the fleet to deal with outcasts, will the nommies and BHG and liberty trample the other half).

That is the point, I think - to create a group, in-RP, which can make decisions in-RP. Now, if in that example we DID declare hostility or war against the outcasts as a whole, and numerous order players not on the council decide "we dont want to fight the outcasts, so we're going to keep considering them nuetral" - then that's fine, those players are still going by the ID rules and what is within canon RP for the order, while those of us on the council, in black squadron, and any independents who follow the council would probably find some way to include outcast hostility in their RP.

Dont think of it like some players trying to control everyone else, just think of it like a communal leadership for the order which makes decisions to influence RP - if you dont want to follow that RP you dont have to, but it does provide us an extra way of creating new events and relationships between the order and other factions while keeping a consensus requirement before we undertake such actions.
