Sparta Command HQ

[UnOrthOdOx]

That's a rather important question that should be thoroughly discussed by everyone. Such a thing would of course also depend on whether other factions would be willing to use the Spartans' services as a mercenary faction, or if they would rather see the Spartans as a normal faction which they could also *gasp* attack.

Perhaps I'll wait till MrWIA comes back and fills me in a little. He'll know exactly what I am referring to when I say right now I see this team as something close to the GoW. I would prefer a team more like the Merc Team.

starship troopers book...film: do you want to know more is the only fun part...

i am totally for the starship troopers idea...but how do we build a command structure? and on what grounds?

[Skanky Burns]

Personally I would prefer a level of autonomy not allowed by the mercenary lifestyle. I wouldn't be opposed to fighting for cash, but just not as our sole focus.

We fight for our surivival, and for the survival of the human race. We are happy to help the weaker factions in return for the spoils of war.

As for government structure - anyone can join BEFORE the game, and is a CITIZEN, and can be elected to high millitary ranks by other citizens.

Anyone joining late has to do five years service in the armed forces of their choosing (they are attached to an actual millitary unit on the map, and if they die, they are dead) after which they become a Citizen and can vote.

How about that?

I think we need a short simple survivalists constitution too.

Provincial Survivalists Constitution:

• All Citizens have the right to bear arms.
• All Citizens have the right to take part in all faction decisions.
• All Spartans may become a Citizen either by completing 5 years of military service, or by being retired wounded during that period, when they shall be promoted to officer rank.
• All government officials are to be serving officers of the Spartan Milita with at least 5 years service.
• All ranks of Lieutenant and above (i.e. Spartan Officers) are elected ranks. All promotions and demotions are by election by the Citizens
• No Spartan, Citizen, Soldier or worker is to be denied access to faction information.
• Millitary law is above all other laws, civil, moral and constitutional.
• No Spartan may surrender in battle and retain his/her rights as a Citizen.

Yes?

Be ware of what you are getting into people!!! You will not be granted the right to take part in faction decisions until your faction meet and fight another faction for 5 years!!! That means first nobody will likely to be friendly toward your faction because people understands your anxiousness to participate. Second you will not be actually participating until ... uh ... 2130!!!

And think about that martial law! Which will be overriding anything else. Are you going to actually throw yourself at the mercy of a cruel and coldhearted man who changes his mood every day and night?

Looks like there are plenty of people who were active in roleplay the previous DG. And if necessary I can take care of internal affairs. But is there anyone with the time and interest for foreign affairs?

That would be good for roleplaying, but I hope you don't mean new members wouldn't be allowed to vote in polls for five in-game mission years? Such a thing is bound to scare off new potential members.

UnOrthOdOx:

I agree with Skanky Burns. Acting as mercenary would be fun, and winning the game certainly shouldn't be the top goal - rather having fun should be. Though keeping a level of autonomy seems wise too. Still I think the Spartans will come closest to your idea. The Angels have said they'll try to do deals between all other factions, but a) that will probably only involve info and techs, not military support, and b) all factions will of course try to get the best deals and manoeuver between other factions if that's best for them - not only the Angels.

You wouldn't have to fight for 5 years, just be signed up.

Who knows... we could get a coldhearted woman in charge

OK, let people vote during their millitary service, but unable to hold government positions untill after they have proved they are tough enough. How does that sound?

If we're going to be Spartans, we can't have greenhorns in charge

Remember, if only 3 teams are in this DG, within a month a newbie is citizen then. I think it takes about that time to get familiar with a new faction (for real newbies off course).

[Jamski]

Not a bad idea is it then?

If the Spartans can prove that there would be great roleplaying involved then I might join....
Er, sir

[GeoModder]

No, it makes sense. However, for a 4 team DG...

[GeoModder]

I think a new smilie is in order for this DG

:Salute:

[Jamski]

Geo, please don't spam the Spartan HQ if you have nothing to add

Or you can do 10,000 pushups as punishment before your breakfast!

[GeoModder]

I'm not , I think the suggestion for the :salute: smilie is a good one.

And for your other request...

1... 2... 3... 4.... 5... 6... 7...
