Folks:
At this point, it's virtually certain that I'll be assuming some responsibilities within the next month or two that'll seriously preclude my ability to do a good job as faction head. Grad school, pregnant wife, all manner of great things. I've loved running this faction and would stick with it if I could.
After consultation with Apparatus, I've decided to go with Tefga's preferred course of action: An OOC vote for my replacement. I have a preferred candidate in mind, and a couple of other potentials, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Don't restrict yourself to the best fighters or the most powerful Masters; the Dark Council will prefer the best leader, and ideally, we want the best person OOC for the job, though you're all fairly great. Consider this the nomination portion of the transition; we can do a formal vote afterward.
Following the vote, I'll work IC with whoever you pick, in order to craft a good story and a solid IC justification.
In discussion, I strongly urge you to consider every relevant factor and to focus on the positive reasons for every candidate. Whoever the majority picks, we need to agree to stand by the leader -- not to obey everything he or she says without question, but to work hard to keep making the Sith Empire a good solid place to have fun.
After most interested people have had their say, I'll present my preferred candidate, and my reasoning. We'll go from there.
Discuss.
