Howdy folks!

I've volunteered to RP the Alliance Chief of State for the time being. This won't be a very important position in terms of the leadership of the faction, but it will be important for leading one thing: a revamped Galactic Congress. I proposed to the Council that rather than just having people be generic Senators, which really gives people nothing to do whatsoever and is why the Senate sub-faction has always failed in the past, they be given specialized roles.

What we've come up with is a few Congressional committees. Some RPers will be chairmen of those committees, while others will be members of those committees. Without giving away too much just yet, these committees will perform vital functions within the Alliance both IC and OOC and will be considered part of the faction's leadership given the tasks that they will have. This will allow the Jedi Council to pass on some of their massive amounts of responsibility to more people, and it will open up new and interesting doors for RPing opportunities on a galactic scale.

Are you interested in RPing a Senator?

I'm not deciding on any chairmen or even what committee you'll be on at this point, so don't create a character yet. Just let me know in this thread if you're interested so I can get a better idea of how to set this up. Thanks!

As i've got a huge invested interest in both the GA and NJO, i'm definitely willing to give up my 6th character spot for some involvement here.
Whatever planet needs babysittin', i'm there.

Being a congressman sounds fun.

rping a senator would be FUN, I would be honored to be named senator of a planet if the responsibilities are with in my power to take into action. I been thinking of using a force user leader for weeks now and maybe this is an opportunity to start something with that.

I've been thinking about this for a while and would like to try it.

Just letting you know now that I definitely don't want to be the head of any committee (see my activity status thread, link in sig). I don't have a preference to any particular planet (and wouldn't mind doing some obscure planet), but I would need some help on how to go about creating a profile for the character.

Either way, you can count me in!

Suggestion (and could apply to the Supreme Tribunal too): Maybe have it be like Sigma 6, where since mainly Senators (and Moffs) won't likely be used much outside meetings, that they could have a non-slot status? Could help boost interest from people. And, of course, those that would want to use their politician outside meetings and such would have to use that as a character slot.

Some interest. I do have a character that is diplomatically minded, but not GA affiliated (yet). Joining? Maybe.

Matt's Jedi would be good for this role, though I doubt if anything would get accomplished. Christian Noble is such a rascal [,]

Come on, Bac.
Its been a few days, give us some more info.
A few more teasers.

It's cruel to announce something like this, and to then shut up about it.
Do tell.

Gogogogogogo.
