Possible Pyre and Protectorate Army Changes

[HK-36]

Hey guys,


So there was something I was entertaining and I want to know what your opinion is,


How would you feel if we made the Pyre only accessibly to PCs, so it would be PC and NPC forces, while the Protectorate army would be all NPCs and under command of Protectorate Government representatives like Observers, Councillors, and Exarchs to give their position and duties a bit more strategic privilege for those who like to play Commanders and games like Risk or Total War.


Pyre on the other hand would be for those PCs who like to play soldiers and more tactical combat, just be right in the middle of things rather than give out commands from safety. Other than that and few transfers to get all PCs on the Pyre roster the size of the military divisions wouldn't change, Protectorate Army would still be much larger and all about total war when Pyre would be our merc division and more about smaller but better trained forces.


I was thinking about doing this because right now it feels a bit diluted with two military divisions and this would help us concentrate on one military division and just make it easier to manage it.


But I can always be wrong and this could be a horrible idea as I'm often an idiot as my gf tells me So let me know what you think

I'm so new and my comment probably doesn't carry any weight, but I like this idea. I prefer to be up in front, in the thick of things, in the action. It can also help to group up people who like stuff like that and people who don't. Just my 2 cents.

Your here, hun. So your comment carries weight.

I think... This might be a good idea. The majority of ground curves we already have are in the merc sector. The ones in the military side are in leadership roles. this might make it a bit easier on them. I say we give it a trial run, and if it didn't work, we can always revert.

That says, where's my name in the roster, bolts? Or do you not love us reds anymore?

Dicer is essentially an NPC personified [wait that's all player characters? You know what I mean!]

He will always be a mediocre solder near the bottom rung, rather than a skilful mercenary.

I'm easy!

Oh bby, rawr


[member="Dicer"],

How about a mediocre merc near the bottom rung? Do you think you would be able to do your RP the same just in a different division?

As much as I want to organize this better, if it will ruin RP for just one person I'll suck it up and transfer as many people as I can but keep some PCs in the Army still, you guys come first then the bureaucracy.

I assume that means you take the position as Councilor?

 

[Edric Vanyan]

I saw total war... too bad I'm not important enough to be a commander. -snaps fingers-

If you want a government position then you have to let me know and set up a story to have precedent with a planet you want to govern like others did and are doing now.

If you want an officer position in military then you have to climb the ranks like others.

 

[Edric Vanyan]

Ya, I knows, it's a shame glyph is just a guard on naboo.

 

[Delila Castillon]

[member="HK-36"] - I take the position. I also hope to RP a storyline. Just a bit backlogged right now.



[member="Glyph"] - Think about joining the government. Its boring being the only Councilor around.

No problem! If you'll want to join any other division as well once you'll have more time for the forums let me know and I'll plug you into appropriate roster

A: Did the government thing on yusan... never again unless I'm sure it won't be a repeat of my experience before.

Totally understandable.

I agree with the Romanov, I believe it would bring more PCs to the same 'side' of the fight and leave the higher ups to run the NPCs from their command centers

Dude when it comes to IC politics the Protectorate is nothing like the Republic. We don't have all that beurcracy, we prefer to get things done.
