The concept is easy as hell.
There're guys with maxed out commander tree. They all have continental chat. Every day at 18:00-22:00 a global commander vote pops up. People vote. The one who wins the vote gets his nickname attached to a small "Global Commander: <Nickname>" line to the lower left of the screen. People see who their commander is. The elected person gets the access to global chat and Empire missions. That's it. |

No. The majority would always vote for the same person who did something right, no one else would get a chance. Plus, what's the point of people training in commanding if he never gets to use it? They should not restrict it to one person a day who may or may not be on for more than half an hour.

** Continental chat. And this chat exists exactly to do this "something", so he can get elected next time. "not joined a group because they want to solo" people usually have outfit and outfit shall define goals for them. While the rest is usually zerging because they don't have a group YET. |

Voting system could easily be abused and exploited. Besides, just because some guy is CR 5 doesn't mean you have to listen to him. You can always ignore them and do whatever the fuck you want. I sure as hell know that's what I'm doing in PS2.

Why is a vote even necessary? What is a commander supposed to be? Commanding troops.
Squad leader commands his squad. Platoon leader commands the squads in his platoon. regiment leader commands the platoons in his regiment Continue as necessary for the population. There are your commanders. Congratulations. |

A free game may have a zillion of retards who will vote someone acting like a complete moron just for the fun.
Outfits will vote on their own members. Outfits will decide on their own. TR won't follow an elected leader. The leader must be da biggezt ork around. And TR needs at least 3 of them, we know TR needs at least 3 of anything to be in par with other empires. NC would simply refuse to follow a leader. Or they would sell the leader's shares, his company would loose it's value and then the NC would refuse to follow someone who's company just gone into blast, wouldn' they? VS won't follow anyone but Vanu himself. Well, if you are called Briggs, you still have some chance. What if the elected leader doesn't feel like global leading that evening? What if he looses connection? What if his baby wakes up in the middle of the night and our allmighty leader has to leave to change diapers? I like the idea to approve those talented in leadership. We could just send "likes" or "thumbups" or similar and if he is willing to show he could present his points in the chat (autamically, after his name). This could still be abused (morons upping their members), but maybe 1 vote during a session, or 1 vote in every 12 hour, or 1 vote after 4 hours of playing (not agglomerating) would prevent that a minority abuses the system for their own fun. |

But on a true note - I recall Werner TR having several people commanding at the same time. As in cooperatively commanding. You're seriously underestimating it. The thing worked fine in quite a few MMOs I... let's just say saw. Last edited by NewSith; 2011-12-05 at 05:00 PM. |

I sincerely hope that in PS2 the command role abilities are better defined.
What if, instead of a voting system, they took everyone with a high enough command rank that is able to be a global commander and then randomly picked a person (with the option for the person to opt out). All other people who were a part of the global command pick were then randomly chosen to be sub-commanders! See below for details on sub-commanders: Sub-commanders would be picked in the same way the global commander is. Sub-commanders must exist on different continents (one or two per continent). Sub-commanders can send global chat to the continent they are on as well as participate in the Command Only chat channels which has the global commander and all other sub-commanders in it. If a global commander quits the game or doesn't want to do it anymore then the process happens all over but with the option to give current sub-commanders the ability to keep their position or opt in to try and get the global commander position.

You already have picked your leaders. Why are you in that platoon if you didn't want that platoon leader leading you? Why are you staying in that platoon if he sucks?
The guy in charge of you is your squad leader. You chose to be following him. The guy in charge of your squad leader is the platoon leader he picked. The guy in charge of your platoon leader is the guy he picked to be regiment leader. This isn't rocket science. Pick good leaders. If you don't like who your squad leader picked, bail, and join something else. Start your own squad. |

I... don't honestly know how to respond to this.
You guys are trying to replace CR5s. CR5s were never needed in the first place. The people that need the tools to command and the tools to coordinate troops are the people in command of the troops, not a separate class of player. |
