Welcome to Gaia! ::

Then there's the other problem with that: Ambasador to who, exactly?

I think they just mean an 'in general' diplomat who handles negotiations with outside guilds. Someone who will keep the interests of the GG in mind, but also be able to create a friendly relationship with another guild.

Now...after all this has been said, I had an idea which also merits some discussion I think, but it's really radical, and therefore I am hesitant to really suggest it as an actual direction for Gaian Government to go.

The suggestion is this: We scrap the existing guilds, and create brand new ones purpose-specific to the Gaian Government. The opportunity is there to start fresh, building on our individual experiences but working together to design a more integrated game government. We also start fresh on the rosters: everyone's a GG member, and can apply for one branch, and/or volunteer to lead a branch. ...but again, I know this is a very radical idea, so please take it easy on me sweatdrop

Guilds that feel they need the opportunity to rebuild its foundation can take advantage of starting over. GA/ASDF I can see doing this. As Mouse mentioned, other guilds who feel they dont need to should just be checked to see if they fit the GG mold and if so then passed on through.

Dude...no offence...but you ARE bullshit...in certain areas...

The GA is restarting now anyway, and there is no GN. However I don't see the point in recreating the ASDF when it's going to become a sub-guild anyway.

I was kind of hoping we would keep the RP so far, for the most part.

While the ASDF may only have >10 PCs, it has a lot of NPCs. This is because an advanced government is unideal for a small number of people, and bulk is needed to insure that people don't get stuck playing the Janitor.

For large numbers of people with several tasks, the ideal system is to have some people preform some tasks, while others preform otehr tasks. Having everybody do everything reduces efficiency and makes everything a management and efficiency nightmare.

A millitary base, for example, has limited space for supplies and equipment. Since parts aren't interchangable between planes, ships, tanks, and infantry, each type requires it's own supplies. Maintinance and repair also requires completely different skill sets for each, meaning more techs on staff. Assuming the same size, a specialized base has a cost factor orders of magnitude lower than a mixed base. Specialized bases also have improved chances of incidental redundancy - if a pilot is sick, there's a greater chance of somebody on-base being able to cover for them.

Besides, specialized millitary commanders yield better tactics, meaning that a joint-action would have multiple people analyzing the situation to arrive at a more optimal use of all available forces. This also makes budgeting fairer, as the people deciding how much everybody gets haven't had a carear that would bias them in favor or against a subgroup.

Hello, I just joined in, im the commander of the current GMC, as for the Gain Navy, I have a purely NPC space fleet, I use in tandem with the GMC.
