Should BtSH call it quits?

[The Celtic Viking]

IMO the "faction leader" should represent someone chosen during these meetings to hold the meetings and perhaps also as the chosen commander if we need to band up against a common threat. I don't think it should represent any actual lordship over other tribes (or even necessarily his own).

IMO Council sessions should not be held on any specific regularity so long as we're not united, but can be called by the "faction leader" (and the chiefs of each tribe can request one to him). It should be about things that concern all tribes, like banding together against a common foe, unification attempts or perhaps an attempt to get to some general agreements like "don't exterminate the populations" or whatever.

1: The tribal council; one (thread) for each tribe, where the chief and the thanes of the tribe would meet to discuss politics and so on. This would act like the BtSH (or more likely the WotB) council sessions, where the thanes discuss their ideas with the Chief, and the Chief decides what to do. This would include domestic and military ideas. Of course there is the problem of players from other tribes reading all the different tribal threads and gaining advantages. We cannot hope to stop this from happening, so we would have to be more cunning; perhaps not everything said in the council can be trusted...

Sounds more like TVS.

Anyway, two different sorts of councils seem natural enough, but I don't agree about that last part. What's the point with having a place to discuss things in, if that place can't be trusted for any meaningful discussion? Just take it away and hold the whole thing in a private area then, and lets not bother with the puppet show.

If we're going to have these, it's better to make it clear that whatever is said in there cannot be used by anyone not part of that tribe. They should preferably not read it at all, but if they do, must not take it into account when making their own decisions.

we should steal the 'duel engine' that is being constructed in KOTF and modify it.

I think the strongest warriors were the leaders, so 'the king' must be challengeable at all times ;p

I feel like what goes in the tribes council should be up to each tribe to decide. if they want to set up a separate forum for themselves then more power to them.
(you don't happen to want to be the faction leader again do you TCV? )

Well, I do have that Royal aura about me.

As for private forums, sure. I have no objection to that. You shouldn't have to do that to keep the tribal councils from the other tribes' IC eyes, though.

so what else do we need to figure out? heres soem things we have to discuss

1. Are we going to use a system thats the same as WotB and BtSH for PVP?
2. and do we all agree on a system of ranks that is similar to what Bean suggests?
3. what 4 starting provinces are we going to have for the tribes, and do we want to give each tribe a "bonus"
4. do we want to use TCV's suggestion on Faction leader and councils?
5. what do we want for a economic system?
6. do we want a duel system similar to KoTF's?
