[War_ooc] Thoughts on WAR

[Chazenesq2b at aol.com]

While we're voting on GM's, I'd like to table a re-organization plan for  the 
game.  I think there have always been some faults in the triumvirate  set up. 
 It's been said you have 3 GMs to balance out the power of any one,  but the 
fact of the matter is those of us who have been around know the GMs too  well 
for this system to actually work.  What happens more often then not is  1 GM 
does something, and the others back him/her up on it normally without  
question, and thus defeating the whole purpose of the 3 GM scheme.  
 
This is nobody's 'fault', let me state that emphatically before people  start 
complaining that I'm bad mouthing them.  It's simply a natural  evolution of 
things when you've come to know and befriend your fellow  players.  It's 
unavoidable.
 
That being said, I think it 'is' fixable.  I still propose a 2 GM  system, 
though what I would like to see is something along this set up.
 
GM 1
GM 2
 
AGM- Recruitment
AGM- Discipline
 
>From experience, I can tell you that a LOT of work goes into World Reports,  
especially World Reports encompassing 12 played nations.  Therefore I think  
the work for the WRs definitely needs to be split among more than one  person.  
2 GMs, both of whom would have the power to recruit any additional  help they 
so desire, would be the best way to handle this.
 
And from experience, I can also tell you that a LOT of the reasoning many  
GMs don't get WRs out on time has to do with Recruitment and Discipline.  A  GMs 
job encompasses a lot with just the WR, so I would like to see AGM positions  
established who's primary duties will include 'breaking in the newbies', the  
standard meet and greet kind of stuff; and for handling disciplinary issues  
among the playing staff.  By Discipline I DO NOT mean yelling at people,  but 
we've had some fights over the list, and someone willing to work things out  
OOC with players could take a lot of the burden off of the shoulders of the  
GMs.  This should be seen as a distinct job from the GM's 'carrot and  stick' 
power IC.
 
Naturally, both AGMs would be elected, and report to the GMs.  (Hence  why 
they're AGMs)
 
How's that sound?
