A New Legion Position For Democracies

 Seeing as Dan is considering a legion voting system I feel as if a member should have some qualifications to vote. A member with voting privileges would have the *insert cool name here* position. I'm thinking "Veteran" or "Delegate" and while we're at it we can give the new members a title as well. "Cadet" Maybe?
Heres Dan's quote from the thread he commented on for those who haven't seen it: webguydan wrote: Currently, legions are setup as hierarchies, with the leader(s) having absolute power. We shelved Legion Governments from the drawing board a while back, but it sounds like its finally time to bring those ideas back to the burner. Here are our current thoughts on a potential change (we can call it governments again for simplicity): Voting Majority (Democracy) - in this mode, all membership-related decisions* require a majority vote from active legion members. Voting Council (Oligarchy) - in this mode, all membership-related decisions* require a majority vote from active officers and leaders. Hierarchy (Empire) - in this mode, actions do not require a vote and the leader(s) have absolute authority to make decisions. [This is the current setup for existing legions] * Membership-related decisions include kicking, disbanding, promotion/demotion, and changing the legion government. Legions would initially choose which type of government they want. When voting, decisions are 'queued' until a vote finishes, and is either accepted by vote, rejected by vote, or rejected due to insufficient votes after a set time passes. A new 'Votes' area will collect these votes from within the legion, and notifications will be sent out via the legion comm. Voting results will remain on record for 30 days. In Voting Majority and Voting Council modes, a 'Nominate Leader' option would also be available, which will vote on an the addition of another Leader. Regarding the many ideas proposed for a cooldown on kicking: though that would certainly be an option, it would only slow down a leader from making decisions that the majority of the legion did not agree with, but it would not prevent it.

Loyal means you can vote. Not loyal means you can't. We really don't need special "titles" to highlight that.

People have wanted more legion positions.
People want governments. No reason not to have customizable legion positions. Just imitate forum permissions and the groups for joomla. If governments get done, they need to be done right. |

If governments get done, they need to be done right. Exactly hence the suggestion. I feel like the government and new legion positions can go hand in hand.

Voting privileges be earned imo. _________________ Creator of Alpha Legion 100, The Robot Alliance, Galactic Historian Society, Galactic Entertainment Center, The Guidebook, and Fan-Forums. 2012 Player Of The Year.

Then set it to Oligarchy, Varun. I still hate the idea behind it, but -1 to this even if it does happen. Kinda pointless, IMHO.
