Ascendants Reorganization discussion

i don't have much of an opinion on everything else since i just got here, though i do appreciate ideas to encourage more development, especially development between characters / clans.

however, when it comes to picking leaders, i have questioned the way it has been done on forums for a long time. i agree that a vote would just end up being a popularity contest and may not reflect the leader's ideas of what a good successor would be, however, it is definitely more inclusive than the system that is in place now. i would suggest appointing multiple candidates - maybe four or five at the most - and having members vote on those candidates? that way, the leader can choose people who they deem to be good potential successors, but the clan still has a say.

as for the ranks, that sounds like a great idea! i would definitely keep the medic position available (though im biased bc im a ho for medic positions and the struggle to get into one for my characters), but yeah. there seems to be an over-saturation of high positions that don't differ from each other enough to constitute their own individual ranks.
