BIG FAT DISCLAIMER: I'm aware of the initial intent for how the Bounty Hunter Guild was executed, and keep in mind that I do *NOT* dislike Hisoka by any means. In fact, if this gets passed, I'll even go as far as to say that he should be able to skip the application for his first term. He's more than capable of running the faction and I've talked to Sanchez (the creator) about making this suggestion prior. Name: Ray-Shi-Oh RP Rank: "Corporal"/Executive Officer Suggestion: Make the Guild Leader job a position you have to apply for on the forums, like every other leader. Implementation: Now, as I said in my disclaimer at the top, I'm aware of how Bounty Hunters is supposed to function. However, I also feel that Guild Leader is a prestigious position that needs an application just because of the potential of how large the Bounty Hunter Guild could be. A position in a high place should never be as volatile as it is and Bounty Hunters should go through the same OOC politics that all BCMDs/RCMDs/Grand Masters should. Below I will address some concerns and reasons as to why this should be changed. 1. Stagnation If Bounty Hunters are always under one person potentially, then that person's vision won't provide the variety that the faction needs. Under the current system, I would almost go as far as it being a system set up for failure. Some of the Guild Cabinet members might want a change but struggle to really get it out. Not to mention the community members who actively play in the guild may want a say as well, and part of that is being able to select a new leader on the forums. 2. Credibility Currently, the Guild Leader has no credibility when it comes to the overall server. While I firmly believe in the idea that if someone is passionate enough, they'll be able to lead ANYONE on the server, the fact that it's an elected position that the community members and lesser BH's can't vote on leaves for potential of power playing and others just favoritizing a single person into high positions of power. NOTHING stops the Guild Leadership from becoming a friend group that just keeps rotating from person to person. Now, I know this also happens with applicable positions, but at least a post on the forums allows people to really get their voice out against the person if they truly disagree with them gaining the position. I also am aware that the whole "point" of the guild is to power play, but that doesn't make it "okay" or a "good thing" by any means. 3. Public Relations How often have you seen others complain about bounty hunters being idiotic? While the "report" system is entirely created in-house, it's created by a figurehead that can be gone within the next week. Every leadership position is unofficial at best and in some situations you could even say this absolves them of responsibility and doesn't allow Directors to step in and handle things. In fact, the best I can see them doing is to punish the entire guild. If there's no one truly there to pick out the rotten fruits of the guild, then the rest of the faction may suffer. Guild Leaders also don't need to go Commander Meetings, which doesn't allow Battalion Commanders to voice any concerns against the guild and even gives them the ability to make suggestions for the guild without the permission of the Guild's leadership. If you have any concerns or questions about this post, please include your reasoning if you -1 this.

Hopefully someone who is at LEAST a competent clan leader or higher All the clan leaders elected hisoka as the guild leader through a democratic vote Of the people for the people But I wouldnt mind seeing them actually be more official with it

+1 WOulda loved Jetpack for Clan Leader but issa ok, this feels like a better balance and better options for roleplay

-1 I like the current system

+1

+1 It's a group you can join, just like jedi, clones, and senator. It might as well be managed by someone who has yo dk the same process as the other groups. TBH this should have been implemented after it took off. P.S. @Hero you better go for it if it becomes an application

This part is more Director discretion. Although, if it were me, I would probably allow Guild Cabinet Members to apply without a waive. Though, I imagine Clan Leaders wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I wouldn't say that at all! I started with stagnation because I felt I should start with the weakest argument for it first. I can personally see the right man leading a continuous and prosperous life for a battalion. However, I would also say that battalions are pretty streamlined with pretty regulated ideas and rules. Bounty Hunters is more akin to Jedi in the aspects of structure, in that anyone could be one, which is why I said the guild had potential to be very large and chaotic. Stagnation was largely brought up because it's the main thing that the application system is designed to prevent! Felt wrong just leaving it out.

I feel as though if this is a thing for Special Operations, it should also be applied to Omega Squad as they are also considered a Stealth Unit...

-1 The BH need to be run differently to stand apart in the server and there are plenty of checks and balances within BH to prevent or address stagnation as well as the Directors being the final line where they can remove people.
