The system itself seems quite flawed.
It's hard enough to find Stefan and Unixmad on togther, how can you expect them, and three other people, to be online at the same time to discuss issues which require day to day scrutiny? It's going to be impossible.
If you go ahead with the council, and let them decide who needs banning and unbanning, the mob is basically going to be running Graal. If Joe Schmoe, friend of a council member goes and hacks, he won't get banned because the council member will vouch for him. Why not just let playerworld managers decide who should ban? I sure don't want to have to wait for a meeting when someone is destorying Graal now.
Do you really think that a member voted from the council that plays on x and y servers will decide that his faviroite servers should get shut down? No, he won't. You're going to end up with a diverse population that plays almost every server, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they won't want to shut their faviorite servers down.
The GM is also at the mercy of the mob, if council members 1 and 2 decide to form an elaborate conspiracy to get the classic GM kicked, they could do so with ease as long as they promise their fellow councilmen a good comfortable position in the Graalian hierarchy.
No, I'm not saying this because PWA is at risk, I'm saying it because it's a poorly designed and thought out system. Sure, it sounds good in theory, but I mean, I thought they would have had enough experience by now to know what works and what doesn't. Whatever happened to the way things were? They were fine, a common sense system should be left as it is. I understand Unixmad wants to give a voice to the people, but this is not the way to go about it |
