Maybe this should have been a seperate subject as I dont want it to detract from the origional post of more types of positions with-in the legion. I would love for a few more and hope you guys can trow a few more out there.

Having said that there is a big difference in big legions that have experienced players in it and new legions trying to build with less experienced and established players. I am in the military and it would be like having a group of NCOs as compared to a group of Privates. NCOs are more experienced and make less mistakes, may not get along with each other some times but know how to function, Privates will of course have a lot harder time adjusting. The power of leadership to impose correctional measures to develope his team is a effective tool and part of leadership in a whole. Also like mentioned earlier a leader who abuses this power would not last long as members would leave if punishment was unfair, not just the punished members but the members who saw the events unfold.

Leaders rarely ever get the whole story. If an "infraction" justifies more than a polite talking to, the person SHOULD be removed from the legion. I've been either an Officer or a Leader in 2 legions for the last 2 years. First in what was at the time a growing mid-rank legion and now in a top 5 legion. I've found that just talking to the "rule breaker" normally resolves the situation. Only rarely have I ever been forced to kick someone for behavior. I've only ever demoted one person and that was for conduct detrimental to the legion as a whole and only after discussing it with the rest of our Officer Corp. I don't feel I have the right to impinge on anyone else's NPCs or their base payout or any of the many other "punishments" suggested in multiple threads like this one. Not to mention the potential for abuse of power that some Leaders might exercise. Giving people power over someone else's game play WILL be abused and WILL cause players to leave legions. In the long run, that will weaken the legion. This is a social game, not a dictatorship.

dont think that would work bill I was thinking more along the lines of something like maybe a trade master who manages group donated artis stored at the base
