' Wrote:People are being chosen for the council positions based on a few key factors:
1. Consistently following server rules
2. Displaying higher-than-average capability when it comes to in-game RP
3. Leadership over various order groups (Black squadron, the 42nd, stewcool's 122nd, etc.)
4. Types of roles RP'd, to get the greatest variety possible (we want both capship fliers and fighter pilots on the council, as well as people who RP militaristically or covertly - varied opinions is the goal here).
True ... but you don't necessarily meet all these requirements. Many of these are subjective and just because you have friends within the Bs| doesn't mean you meet the requirements.

I hold no power whatsoever within black squadron, or over any of it's members. I hold no power over independent players except with those that follow me willingly.
Now, if you took the time to gain their respect and trust (and by they i mean BOTH black squadron and the order independents), you'd be in the same position I am. It's personal effort that decides who follows you here, not self appointed rank. Any idiot on the server can call himself an admiral or general, few actually earn trust to the point of other players accepting that rank.
You do have a superiority complex, Tenacity. You may have gained respect with your buddies in the Bs| and elsewhere ... but that doesn't mean you have respect of the community as a whole. Many find you a bit full of yourself. While you may have role play to heart and do a good job with it ... that doesn't gain you respect when you cut others down for their role play. You are not the king of role play and don't go thinking you are. Just because others don't have respect and trust from your Bs| buddies and other of your buddies doesn't mean that we are void of respect and trust in the community.
And yes you do hold power within Bs| ... you were the Indie character ordering the Bs| ensign about when I was attacked by you and your buddies. So don't give me this "I'm an innocent Indie" routine. You told me that day that you hold a high rank within Bs|.
As for me ... I have one Order character ... and don't fly him that often. I spend more time a long way from Order space ... so for me to "gain respect" of Bs| and such ... I guess I'd actually have to be in Order space right?
You were appointed one of the admiralty by Bs| ... so yes ... you've gained their trust and respect. But you are still one of their senior leaders ... and NOT an official member of the faction. So my objection still stands. If you become one of the 6 on the council ... you will be occupying one of the 3 Bs| positions on the council. Otherwise ... denounce your position of leadership within Bs|.
EDIT: Bs| appointed you to the position of leadership ... not the Indies ... so don't try to say you earned the position from the Indie side of the house.
