As long as there isn't a mandatory "join a meatspace unit, not a internet one, because..." rule, I am happy.
Hey guys,
So, here are my thoughts, point-by-point:
1. Starting fresh
We needs to focus not on some arbitrary minimum number for domain size that may or may not be applicable, but rather on just having enough people that they can run fun games well without relying on visitors. Also, a section on how to create a venue that plays in a non-traditional way (IRC, skype, etc) would be good, as would a section on how to define domain boundaries in a meaningful way and how to handle areas in between.
Just say what these are and how they work, how they fit in, and how they relate to local officers ad members. Say what they do and when you call on them or are called on by them, and what powers you have over determining who gets to wear the Big Shiny Hat.2. Organization above local
I want GSTs running the national level of a given venue, elected by that venue's STs to run a particular plot they describe when they're applying for the job. That way, STs know what they're voting for, in terms of ST/writing skill as well as story content.
Dude. Guy and I agree.
Get out your spoons ladies and gentlemen. They're making snow cones
in hell today!
There are dangers in a bad ANST that a NST won't do anything about. (The first US ANST Awakening comes to mind.)There are also dangers in a bad GST that a NST / NC won't (or can't) do anything about. (Grim.)I'm chewing on this one.
