re: Move 1

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.
