Sorry for any disruption caused.<br/><br/>The Manse was originally established as a military base, that is correct. But then everything went to hell. The Deliberative fell, the Great Plague, the rise of the Empress and everything else. The Manse would have to adjust over that time. They were probably able to keep the pure military base feel for a generation or two, but with each generation after that, they're going to slip that bit further from the pure military environment. They have to adjust to keep themselves alive.<br/><br/>The vision I had was something akin to Lookshy. Everyone is technically military, active duty or reserve. Everyone gets the basic training, those with an aptitude for it continue on, others are directed towards roles that suit their skills.<br/><br/>From what I can see, both characters have Backing 3, which would give them equal rank in the Manse command structure. Muse, if I'm reading this wrong feel free to jump in. The way I would view it, Yolhu would probably have responsibility towards the active duty forces, Ashen Heron towards the 'civilian' reserve. Is that the way the two of you see it as well?<br/><br/>Let's try and get us all on the same page to start with. We can hold off on further posting til we get this straightened out, and can edit/retcon the last post or two if we need to once this is sorted out.<br/><br/>The skype chat has been mentioned to me recently, but I rarely use skype. If it will help iron stuff like this out, would it help for me to join it?<br/><br/>One last thing I will say before we go any further. Godmoding other players characters is not something we should be doing. If you clear it in advance with someone, that's fine, but otherwise you don't get to dictate anyone else's actions in your posts. I wouldn't have thought we'd need to specifically call that out.
