New Order/BlackSquadron Role Play Rules

[Tenacity]

I already explainedt his to you, apparently your ears werent open - -I- went after the LSF player, the other order members in the group went after the keeper.

There's no reason whatsoever to send an entire ****ing battlegroup after a single keeper and let a murdering LSF get away when you can split forces and go after both. It's your own problem that you refused to join the group and hear what was being said in private.

Oh, and just so you can see some of what is being said in the background, this is a cut from a conversation I just had with swiss on xfire:

Bs|SwissScorch: and out of everyone he doesn't get that this whole council thing isn't bs| v. indie
Bs|SwissScorch: yeah lol
Bs|SwissScorch: and 6 members is more than enough
Bs|SwissScorch: any more is just stupid
Tenacity: i dunno
Tenacity: i think we should go with 9, to get more varied views, because right now everyone seems to think that we're only choosing bs lapdogs
Bs|SwissScorch: we're not
Bs|SwissScorch: we're choosing the most qualified people
Tenacity: we need to have at least one person in the council who has disagreed with us on this whole thing
Bs|SwissScorch: well the council is just for people who choose to follow it
Tenacity: thats the only way anyone is going to respect it
Bs|SwissScorch: maybe
Bs|SwissScorch: 7 tops then, any more and I'm going to freak
Tenacity: so...
Bs|SwissScorch: and one of those 7 should be head
Bs|SwissScorch: in case of ties
Tenacity: there should be no head
Tenacity: equal power amongs all 7
Bs|SwissScorch: hmm
Tenacity: maybe ryoken
Tenacity: this whole thing is going to be pointless if we cant get people to follow it
Bs|SwissScorch: hmm
Bs|SwissScorch: bigfatty then
Bs|SwissScorch: I'm talking with him and he's changing his rp
Bs|SwissScorch: I'm helping him write something up
Bs|SwissScorch: but I do think one of those 7 should be head
Bs|SwissScorch: we could follow the swiss government:)
Bs|SwissScorch: 7 people on the federal council, and then one of those is the federal president
Bs|SwissScorch: also
Bs|SwissScorch: Bs| owns omi 100 and controls omi minor, which is approved by the admins, so we do kinda hold a bit more power over those systems, especially omi 100 right off the bat
Tenacity: no head, we dont want the impression that any one member has any more power than the rest
Tenacity: its a voting group, nothing more
Tenacity: if we have 7, there will never be a tie
Bs|SwissScorch: well then who leads the order?
Bs|SwissScorch: yeah
Tenacity: the council leads the order
Tenacity: we dont need one figurehead
Bs|SwissScorch: hmm
Tenacity: sorry but even i have some morals to hold =P
Bs|SwissScorch: well it used to be the 4 Bs| admirals lead the order, so we can't just make all 7 people admirals now
Bs|SwissScorch: yeah
Tenacity: nothing saying they need to be admirals
Tenacity: aki wont be an admiral, neither will stew or the 42nd leader

I'm trying to do whats best for everyone here, and like I said I dont want the council having any direct control over players - I think it should simply be a group that decides political/diplomatic matters when they arise, or helps plan/lead events for the order. The admins are doing their own thing about capship limitation, we're staying out of that now.

Yes, if you think I'm pushing to have people follow the council's decisions, you're right - is that a powergrab? I dont think so. I only have one vote of 7 (or possibly 9, we havent decided yet) on the council, and all it really takes is one person opposing that vote to overrule me. You can also see from the cut above that I'm trying to refrain from having any one person given any kind of 'leadership' role either in the council or over the order as a whole, this is a voting matter not something one person should decide.

There's a dozen conversations a day like the one above between myself, wolfpack, swiss, and several of the order indies like rouge and fletcher. Maybe that will help you lay off a little and realize I'm not trying to shove anyone around here.
