second step in getting the members of the Order Council

[Dusty Lens]

Hmm, I find myself in a position where I should respond to this thread, yet very likely will find my day to day affairs ultimately un-affected by its outcome.

Tenacity is a person whom has invested a great deal of personal effort towards the Order. When I was first becoming involved with that part of space I found many of the details that he had fleshes out of whole cloth to be exceedingly helpful in providing steps for my first few akward steps in some very curious shoes. In that regard his devotion to enhancing the Order as a viable RP faction deserves a great deal of merit.

To counter point, though, I've observed that he maintains a great deal of arrogance in the manner by which he pushes his views onto other persons and holds a very strong negative view against parties that oppose him, within RP or out. As such I can't help but feel that he would find it extremely difficult to concede his own viewpoints and RP paths in a direction that the overall body feels would be more appropriate for the "council" to move.

Given the sparseness of the Order population proper, however, there are few other persons with whom I'm familiar that would be suited to taking up the seat, nor who merit it. I would take advantage of this opportunity to suggest that he would be well served in considering that his viewpoint may, in fact, be off the mark on occasion and to greatly reduce the volume of ooc complaints within group chat. Group may be pink, it might not be system, but the overall flavor is so vastly enhanced by maintaining character throughout. It serves, at the least, as a good example.

guess I'm too aggressive when it comes to politics for some people to handle.

Case in point, my experiences throughout speaking with you (when it was not known that I was me) was that offering you views contrary to your own was paramount to speaking with a brick wall. You can certainly exercise your vocal cords, but no impression is to be made.

Eternal is someone with whom I'm no longer familiar. We had our differences in months past, but occasional inquiries have revealed that he's conducted himself in exceptional manner both personally and within the game environment during his term of stay in Order space. I feel that he has some issues with, ah, diplomatic communication from time to time and is prone to anger, but with the same nod towards Tenacity I believe that viewpoints that stand apart from the others and could be argued with some passion can contribute nicely towards evading stagnation.

I apologize for the somewhat pretentious review of my fellow players, but, then, this thread did ask for them.

Furthermore, Unseelie is a total noob.
