Ehh, I would think that the name of the campaign should definitely not one of the things we worry about at the moment.  The name should come from what the campaign's about (such as "Tears of Blood," the community campaign setting at GitP, which is named after the bloody tears of someone with the plague).  For the time being, let's worry more about what the campaign is going to be about.

Turin for Dictator!

@daggerhart and Ishmayl: I don't think the leader thing got out of hand. I was saying that most of the time a decision should come naturally from the community. Bob has veto powers and such mostly so we can quickly act against derails and silly proposals, but the community should correct Bob when he makes a wrong call. All of this is also why I think that one Bob (and one or two "guardians in the back") is best.

@Raelifin: moderator powers would be a good idea, so Bob can lock threads and make announcements, though I think he shouldn't be allowed to edit other people's posts (not that you were saying he should, just expanding on your line of thought). I think I agree with everything you said about organization.

@others: though deciding on a working name (Cebegia would be fine for that) might be useful, I would once again state a wish not to discuss the actual content of the setting before we have the organizational thing straightened out (which at this point seems to come down to electing Bob). And even then I think we should not discuss the "core or not" questionÃ, and the name of the setting before we have discussed theme. So I'll refrain from that discussion for now.

I also agree we should let this stand for the weekend. Perhaps then Ishmayl can open a poll thread or a vote through some other means and see to it that things develop fair and square. If all goes well we can start discussing theme and other actually interesting stuff this time next week.

Hmmm... I don't think "the leader thing" has gotten out of hand yet, not sure why that was directed towards me ;)  Anyhoo, the "let it stand for the weekend" thing is probably a definite at this point.  Once "Bob" is elected (or selected, whatever), we'll worry about what sorts of "powers" he has.  I think moderation of that one forum is a gimme, so we'll start with that, and maybe bring in a few other options as well.

turin sounds like the man for the job to me.

+1 vote, Turin.

It will be like an old Soviet style election.  You can vote for Turin, or go to the gulag.   :cold:

Hmmm, so far, we seem to established the fact that we need to discuss things more... well, that sounds swell and dandy.  So, let's discuss.  What do you guys think the "Core Ethos" of this should be?  Myself, I like a rather dark and gritty campaign, something where the characters tend to be struggling to survive, rather than just the stereotypical heroes of the local region.  Midnight is a good example, Dark Sun is as well.  So anyhoo, let's get this rolling; I have a full weekend ahead of me with nothing to do other than hang out on forums and further develop my carpal tunnal.

Yay for carpal tunnel! Oh wait...

Well, I'm in the "mood" for a political campaign, but I'm mostly just suggesting it to add options. I also must add my Raelifin Twist :smartass:... I'm going to suggest that the desnisty of "air" is much greater... perhaps make it a liquid. All characters would be more dense, to preserve the simplicity of 2D combat. Or everyone could be a shapeshifter (have a few alternate forms)... Woo! I'm insane! Just smack me if I go too far off the deep end.  :morons:
