Rethink the SG system a little

I don't know if this has actually been suggested before or how often, but frankly, as long as the forum's search system continues to fail me, I don't really care, so without further ado...

Allow Leaders at the very least to promote/demote characters while they're offline. Frankly the reasoning behind preventing it in the first place escapes me (bar someone saying ingame it was to prevent hostile takeovers) and I'm amazed anyone can even work with said restrictions, to be honest. :|

Also: Allow Leaders to 'stand down' from their position into a lower rank. Long story behind that one.

I don't fundamentally disagree wtih teh concept but there are issues.

If the SG leader doesn't log in for 2 weeks they are demoted and the next toon alphabetically is promoted.

99 times out of 100 this isn't an issue but imagine this scenario:

You get knocked off your exercise bike whilst at the health centre and spend 15 days in traction

Arnold P. Snarflepants who has been in your SG for a long time and has ALWAYS been a pain in the butt but never done anything to warrant booting, becomes leader

Arnold then exerts his new authority by kicking your main toon from the SG, borking the base, challenign every SG he can to a base raid (and losing badly so your stuff gets trashed) kicking every toon and hten leaving the SG

3 years hard work gone pop simply cuz you couldn't log in for 14 days.

I appreciate this is not the most likely scenario but it could happen and so I think I leave this /unsigned

---

But... that's possible right now.

Methinks you may have misread the suggestion. :\

Arnold allready can do this. Once a leader becomes inactive for a certain amount of time, the first to log in after that time has expired, automatically becomes the new leader. Including said Arnold. Who can, as leader, do any of the things you are affraid of. I inherriteded loads of SG's that way. Never done the silly things Arnold did though.

I don't like this Arnold fella... I think he needs a broken knee or two... ¬_¬

How does that problem become worse with this suggestion?

Anyway, yes i think being able to promote/demote off line would be a good thing.

Yea i'd definitely like to see this changed. Can get annoying if your not on the same time as some members!

/unsigned

if they want to promote someone, or get promotion. then they have to be on. time wise it might be a pain, but communication is the key, organise a time to work with both of you. your a sg after all.

---

I have members who -can't- get online for various reasons, plus several of my own characters in the same SG, which might I add, is in need of a monster rejig.

Communication, frankly isn't going to work, and never will.

I like the idea, and basically everything that gives us flexibility to the system.
