Suggestion: Team Field Marshall elections

[silversleek(GEN)]

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.

Metty yelled at me to comment so........I like the idea? but Ill like just about anything that sounds new and possibly make BN more fun

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?

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

lol this plan is already doomed from the start.

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.

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.

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.

I like it, the question is, will WC vote it out?

[Mythonian]

Sounds interesting. It's definitely worth seeing how it'd work in practice. I'd be up for using it after this war.

Eh, actually, he brings up a very valid point. Don't think it'd work out, so we shouldn't rock the vote boat. Instead, we can vote on our favorite dead memes and have them as FMs. That'd work out much better IMO.

Such as "The Line" and "Total Ties for MVP" as the FMs. Would be a glorious war.

It's 3 am and I have no idea what my mind was thinking when I wrote the above.
