Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Author Posted August 4, 2001 ok, so how about a Senate AND a Jedi council ? The council could serve as sort of a sounding board on these forums while the Senate could discuss gameplay and how certain matches were handled. Or the other way around.
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 How would members be decided? Hmmm... How about the council has the most experiance and the Senate is elected.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Author Posted August 4, 2001 Maybe. I'm thinking more about letting the mods decide who should be in them, since it's going to be a oderating kind of thing, but then only in discussion. That way, there's certainly no conflict between such a setup and the moderators.
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Well what would they do? Just privatly message you and say "we would like you to be in the Council"
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Author Posted August 4, 2001 They watch these boards and can identify the ones who'd be most suited, i guess. I also think it's best if a neutral party decides on who gets in. Otherwise, you're bound to have arguments. And they could post private messages, yeah, but the Council / Senate memberlist would be up for all to see. Maybe everyone could have a seat in the Senate, but only a few would have official positions like Chancellors. Clans that would be here could be represented by a 'Senator' in the Senate. So you'd have Senators representing groups of gamers. I like the idea more by the minute, by the way..
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 How bout everyone can be in the senate, but only the ten or so people with the most "experience" (posts) get a seat on the council? After all, everyone should have a say in the senate, that's what it's all about. However, some people could have special seats if they are elected or something. I'd vote for you as Supreme Chancellor Leo.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Author Posted August 4, 2001 I'm not sure if i'd want to, but thanks... The # of posts would give the people that logged into the boards early on the ost advantage. that would be a bit unfair. That's why i'm thinking of the mods selecting those people.
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 That is a great one. The one with chancellors and Supreme Chancelors. :obi: Of course I am wandering. If we did Council, would we have a Dark side too or just Light side
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Author Posted August 4, 2001 I'd imagine there would only be a Light side, but if cheats or false tactics would be discussed, you could call it 'messing around with the dark side'.. I intend to wait until the boards have hit the 200 member-mark before i take the idea to the mods.
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 I would imagine they will see this by the end of the day though. Unless they don't keep up with their own site.

That's the point, the new people that come here aren't as "experienced" as the ones that were here first, and they don't deserve a spot on the council. It is only for the oldest and wisest jedi. Once someone establishes a position in the boards, he has a chance to be on the council. Of course, everyone could go to the senate meetings.
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Ah yes, but I only joined today. Yet I am wise in the way of the force and have read every published novel on Star Wars.(besides Rebirth which hasn't found it's way to my bookstore yet) I had heard about this site only yesterday so I came here this afternoon and have been estatic about it ever since.
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 WEll, your on your way to becoming an upstanding member of the forum. Keep posting good posts, and stay here for a while, and you could be on th council, but no one should be on the council the day they joined, it's not like that with the jedi. One should earn a position like this, not just get stuck in on the first day.
Darth_Rommel Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Yes, train you must padawan fergie TIE who is in the Council anyways? Perhaps we should start a thread or a poll for nominations. While we are waiting for GB maybe we could organize game of AoK, that would be quite fun! Let the voting begin!
Guest Kvan Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Originally posted by Darth_Rommel Yes, train you must padawan fergie TIE who is in the Council anyways?

I nominate Rommel ......and we all know Leon will be in the Senate!
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Good Idea. Paragon_Leon wants us to wait a little while though I don't see exactly why.
Darth_Rommel Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Well, thank you! I in turn nominate Kvan and my master, TIE guy
Darth_Rommel Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie Good Idea. Paragon_Leon wants us to wait a little while though I don't see exactly why. He just wants to be there too supervise voting I'm sure. My opinion is that the Council, and Senate are formed as soon is posssible, so we know how it all this works when the game is released
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 No, we're still in the "Alpha" stage with this project. Plus, you guys have to talk to Leon, this is his brainchild, not mine. I think we need some approval from the mods, and my get them to set up a senate forum, and maybe a passworded council forum. If they don that for us, and we get orgnized, we can start with teh meeting, and the nominations and junk.
Guest Kvan Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Besides us all knowing Leon is gonna be in it. We all know TIE Guy HAS to be there! His posts alone should get him in! He does have good ideas.....when he posts them.
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 He does have good ideas.....when he posts them. Which is all the Time 100+ posts a day... very tiering, but might be worth a shot since this is the best forum around!
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie tiering Is that a typo or a pun Anyways, i post here alot coz i got nothin to do during the summer, even though i did play golf today.
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 PUN thanks for noticing... well it could have been a pun...
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Gee guys, I leave for one day and there a big, three pages topic that's in the wrong forum! FORCE MOVE TOPIC!! Anyway, it's a pretty good idea... I have some suggestions, which many of these have already been discussed, I just want to be sure that Paragorn_Leon approves them (it's his idea after all). - The members must be chosen by a mod. - Any forummer may suggest an addition to the council, but he must not suggest himself. - That one is very important: the selection of members will NOT be based on post count. Not at all. There has been spamming problems here, so the spammers have an undeniable advantage over those who only post intelligent things, but not as often. It should be based on the number or quality of the intelligent discussion topics that the forummer posted. - Any member who do not follow the board's rules (which I will put online in the near future for everyone to see) will not be elligible(sp?) for the Senate.
