Normally i would refuse such a position if it were offered to me, and i have been considering the possibility of leaving GC and am still sorta debating it.
However, with some of the recent changes in the community and since im the leader of the Binary (a group of robot/alien cyborgs who came from gammu and now work with the order, for those who dont know of us). If i was offered a seat on this council i would probably take it, reluctantly.
I would like to think that i am a somewhat decent writer/rp'er and i do know a great deal about the order and its history, even before Orilion made them widely known. Most probably dont realise or know it but the order has exsisted since before the sleeper ships left earth. (i'm still working on the somewhat canonitical history about them)
Anyways, the idea of a 9 member council to replace the current "leadership" isnt a bad one and accually fits better what "The Order" really is and has been for nearly a millenium. (a covert group of powerfull and like minded individuals who mostly care about the protection and betterment of mankind as a whole using whatever means necessary) It would probably also help to unify and organize the various divisions and indies as they should be.
I even just brainstormed a kinda silly anacronym;
Organization of
Reconnaissance,
Defense, and
Experimental
Research
