The ecologists need a leader. If you are interested post here, the closing date will be Feb. 3 2013.
I'll bite.
Hey, if Frostee throws his hat in, I'll offer to take part.
I'm willing to co-op the Ecos with others.
I promise to not make anything like 'That Crazy Eco'.
^ take these 2 guys.

We had one of those once. His name was star.
Umm me? I actually like the rp a lot and wouldn't mind co leadingwith others like rebel brought up, two or three people same powers and rank working together. The problem i had after two years leading was IRL issues and then i just ran out of ideas so now i love to get a chance to lead again.
3 head scientist could work. It'd give more availability. But, I personally won't be part of any other faction, major or minor.
And I'm fine with standing in a lab for a hours just /me scienceing thing.

You were already Eco leader, give someone else a try. Or we could try what Khorn said, but still.

Like i said i wouldn't mind having three leaders with the same power and rank, be more productive and make me happy since i would still be in only faction i liked. And frostee i don't plan on giving up on eco. I actually like the rp.
That and i didn't get eco back and active two years ago and stick with it for nothing.
there's only one authority that can control everything. 1 leader, how ever many co leaders you want, members.
We can have 3 co leaders that control everything, we just take a vote. There is no reason to force a single top leader.
But that's up to whoever decides this.
I'd like to file my name in for consideration.

Like khorn is saying, we don't need a single leader, in fact having more than two or one can act as a check and balance system with voting over activity the ecologist part take in such as organizing expeditions, hiring local help, and working together for coming up with amazing projects that will help the servers experience. I know from experience how stressful it is trying to lead on your own when you don't have inputs for others and end up dealing with irl issues and eventually like I encountered, just running out of ideas. Hopefully if this new leadership system works it can help with these problems and contacting other leads on a vote isn't very hard or stressful.
On a side note I'm willing to bury the hatchet for the sake of getting something very important for the server that needs to get done. It's a new year and lot of stuff to get off the ground so it won't be easy but I'm confident with the tight plànning we can do this.
there must be someone at the very top regardless of your wishes because this is giving 3 people equal leadership positions in one MINOR faction -- that's not how it works. besides democracy is unnecessary and is known to fail when it comes to leading something on the internet. if you want good for this faction then you dont want to have 3 leaders.

It's a new year, there's a new script, there's a new srp in general, why the hell not give it a try.

all of which have nothing to do with leading the faction.

Perhaps because common sense says "No". You would not shove an icicle up your arse even if it is a new year, because you already know it's stupid.

From leading it before for long as I did I'm open to trying a new idea. Even if its a minor faction it doesn't mean it's not a important part of the server it self. And when it comes to having a single lead to keep things in check a democracy acts as a check and balance system so we don't end up with stupid and crazy experiments or crazy scientist. And I think the new core admins would have a strong part in all this as well but have other priorities so having a system that works it self out with out bothering the admins would help. Besides scientist work together anyway to come up with and act on experiments that are a big part of their job. The ecologist are sent to the zone to study it in small teams that usually act on there own and send all their results to the main head quarters so they still have a reason to be there.
But obviously every single research group needs a leader.

Id take -my- faction back anyday.

Yes but this does not mean it can't run with a group of individuals leading it, I mean governments are lead by groups and not a single supreme leader. Once again it's not our call and is up to the core admins to decide what to do.

experience shows that democracy or any variants of it in the internet will fail no matter what.

Once again instead of arguing if democracy works or not, I'll wait to see what the core admins choose.
Why don't we just make it so there's a leading party of like..
3 Research Directors and 1 Ecologist Leader or something.

Not enough activity for that.
Because we know that we base activity on the alpha that started a few hours ago.
No, because in the last year, I never saw more than 4 ecologists online at the same time, plus Ecos require TT and only a select few have interest in joining in the first place.

It's called new player base. That's all I have to say.

Implying we have one.
I've seen a couple new names trodding along in the forums, but that hardly qualifies as a new playerbase. Besides, if the server comes up now, it'll be a few weeks before people start joining in via Gmod.
Fine, we'll call a single Eco the leader and the next 2 can be the next rank lower. Doesn't mean we can't get input from the other 2 for decisions.
The fact we are arguing over something so soon into SRP's return is stupid. Let's just get a list of who is apply and have someone figure out who'd they like to lead it best.

Fair enough , going back to what I said its up to the core admins to decide.
So far it's khorn, frostee, lucky, Blake and me. From what I seen , I think sticky wanted to also.

My Thoughts:
-I thought Blake was banned, and he is silly anyway.
-Darkzerxx is kay
-Lucky Pig you go away
-Khorn is kay
-Sticky is silly and completely wicket.
-I'm kay
Any questions?
