    Suggestion: Team Field Marshall elections

    So, I've seen a lot of complaints running around about conflict between HC's, and It got me thinking, how can the process be smoothened? Well, what if, when a candidate ran, he had to have a partner that he ran with, and if elected, they'd Both be FM. For example, I ran with silko, We won, and i'd be fm of blue, while silko would be fm of red.

    Ideally, this means that the two partners would have similar platforms and ideas of how things should be run, which will allow people to get more done without squabbling over things they don't want to. The way it is right now, where you can elect two totally different people, leaves things very susceptible to clashes where people argue for days, with the HC venting to their armies about how the other side is only trying to screw them over, and breeding hate and distrust.

    Seems like a legit idea, now you just gotta sell it to the masses.

    I think this is a pretty interesting idea and at least worth a try... Why has it taken this long to come up with something like this?

    Im still not a big fan of this. i see how it works but i feel like it alienates half of the community. A majority of a election can come entirely from one army after all.

    Everything's obvious in hindsight. Sometimes ideas just need the right spark, like the tiebreaker list.

    I was going to say me and fuzzy, but I feel like more people might know/remember you than fuzzy, considering his inactivity.

    i'm not actually planning on running -right now- anyways.

    Poor turnouts suck, but The system shouldn't be built with the assumption that nobody from one army is going to show up to voice their opinions, and if they don't, that's on them. Besides, The way our current elections work, where we can multi-vote to select the two we find most appropriate has the same flaw with low turnout rates. This on the other hand, would lend itself more to solidarity between the armies rather than trying to force two random people into working well with each other.

    Worst case scenario from that, and only one army votes, The idea is the betterment of the entire community anyways, I find it really unlikely that a team will get in that's intentionally trying to give one army and advantage, BUT, war council can step in to remove them, The generals would have to be selected from the armies independent of the FM campaign, and the war directors will still retain their authoritative positions.

    The only thing I think would be negative from this is if someone wants to run for FM but can't find anyone else to run with as a team because either everyone else is already paired up or doesn't want to run.

    Other than that, it's a solid suggestion.

    In that case, they might be able to find someone else who's not <exactly> on the same page as them, but willing to compromise on a few positions on controversial issues decided pre-registration. But you're correct. They could also endorse a group with a similar platform to them, maybe beg around for a potential general position or something?
