A player character has asked a question re: mission leadership in Move 1 and I'm opening an OOC thread to ask what y'all would like to do. Please read the comment over there, then respond to this post with your thoughts. (I'd do it over there, but we're up to 80+ comments on Move 1 already, which is going to be hard on folks playing the game over mobile, so I thought a new post for discussions would be best.)

To reiterate:
[GM/OOC: Before I respond to this, I would suggest that a logical mission leader should have some kind of history with the resistance (so, not a newcomer) and, ideally, military, intelligence, or diplomatic background as well. Does anyone in the player group want to volunteer? If not, I'll assign someone based on GM judgment and/or hilarity.]

I'd like to volunteer Ashari. They're used to taking charge, planning events, and coordinating. They have a take-charge attitude, some level of intelligence, and a diplomatic background and Andan training that could help smooth some team stuff over. They're military training is a little lacking, but they have experience in the rebellion and are willing to listen to those that do.

I think Ashari's the most practical idea, although it'd be hilarious if our nameless contact replied to Kaliyan's question with "You are!"

If Ashari's (or anyone else other than Kaliyan is) who everyone decides on, theoretically she could still say that, and be overruled. :D

No matter who's going to be the leader, Ashari's going to try to get as high of a position as possible in the ship and rebel hierarchy because of that good ol' Andan nature. xD

(That's separate from me as a player volunteering them as the team leader. In all honesty, my plan from the beginning had been to have Ashari vie for the leadership role, because I think it's in character and would make good drama. )

It's not in character, but I see Mikodez trying out the ol' (entirely spurious) maneuver of "run away really fast and the enthrallment won't stick" sometime soon.

It would give give Ashari a chance to volunteer, I quite like that idea.

I agree that Ashari's the best fit for the role.

Clearly one of the ex-Kel would be perfect, because this situation calls for a frontal assault.

I have no particular feelings one way or another about — Ashari does seem a logical choice, but I'd be fine with a randomly selected leader, too.

As a player, I have some experience getting a cohort of introverts moving in the same direction.

But as a character, Sasha would very much prefer to let someone else take charge, then yell at them for doing it wrong. She'll accept just about anyone except for the teenager.

Does anyone have another suggestion or should we go ahead with Ashari?

Also, once we have a leader, maybe someone should compile all the information we've learned so far.

Hmm, how often are you expecting people to be around in order to fully participate in this game? I did have an opinion (not on the leadership question exactly, but sort of related), but I have been busy for the last couple of days and haven't checked back until now. (And wow is there a lot to catch up on for only being away for a couple of days.)

I sort of thought this was a game where being around a couple of times a week was what was expected (I know I saw it somewhere)...

If a constant presence is needed, or really anything above the twice a week because I do have other creative things going on and can't commit to more, then I should bow out.

Let me know!

Yeah, I think it's going to be too fast for me to keep up with. I've been in almost this exact situation before with a game, and I tried to run faster for a while but ended up dropping out in the end, so I might as well skip the middle bit this time.

I wish you and all the players the very best, I'm sure it's going to be awesome.

Oh, I was just thinking of copy pasting all of the info we've gotten from the npc about the mission into one comment. Wouldn't take me very long but people wouldn't have to comb the threads to find it for future reference.

I'm also in favor of Ashari, for the record!
