New Permission Givers? by
on 2015-01-20 09:21:00 UTC

Do we need and/or want some?
On the one hand, while we have a pretty large number of PGs still in the PPC, very few of us are active on the Board. The last five or so Permission requests have all been answered by me (I think), for instance. And we've all had the position a fairly long time, and been around for even longer - the 'youngest' PG is Phobos, and hands up if you remember him joining. (The hands are rhetorical)
But on the other hand, there aren't many Permission Requests at the moment; I can easily stay on top of them by myself if I need to, and I know Nesh and Phobos at least will jump in if they see a need. And since the only role PGs have is granting Permission, it's not like we need an excess, or have a quota, or anything. We're not leaders or moderators, it's not a reward or mark of honour - it's a job that, right now, doesn't really need many people in it.
So I'm pretty much on the fence as to whether it's desirable/necessary to vote in more. What do you think? Feel free to debate/argue/anything. Hopefully a vague community consensus will emerge as to what we should do/not do.
And to save space and time, if you think we do need new PGs, go ahead and nominate. Nominees should have been an active member of the PPC community for the last six months minimum, and should have Permission themselves. No self-nominations, please; and if you get nominated, please either accept or refuse the nomination. (And this isn't the place for voting; that'll be a later thread, if it turns out the community wants to go ahead with it)

Desdendelle and PoorCynic were the second and the third person who came to mind. If I had not been dragged away from this thread and returned only right now, I would certainly have nominated them – although I couldn’t have explained the reasons as good as others did here. I also thought about doctorlit, but somehow I felt that he shouldn’t be nominated.

After all, I've brought this up to both you and Nesh for awhile as a percieved need. I'm far for having a new set of PGs around.
For what it's worth, I'm definitely for having new PGs who've been around and have an excellent grasp of the community these days; I've fallen kind of out of things just due to having left for well over a year and then being busy these daysfighting for justice.
That said, I personally agree heavily with the choices of PoorCynic, Iximaz, and Desdendelle as our next Permission Givers. -

...I, Skaer'morys the Silver, hereby nominate Lady Iximaz and PoorCynick as well! I choose the former for her spirit and bravery, as evidenced in our ongoing quest to train my newly acquired decadent proto-bird, Velociripper. And I choose the latter for his wonderful use of constructive criticism and analysis of technique, which has helped me bring to heel two other recent acquisitions - the flesh-eating pegasus, Rayner, and the demonic entity, E.V.L.
Getting back to seriousness, I'd also like to nominate doctorlit, but he's politely refused, so I'll also throw in Desdendelle for his help with my first mission and call it an answer. -

...What? You expected that in Knight Jumper's voice? Oh, fine. Here:
"Ser Jumper!"
The knight turned towards the young page, Tristram. "What is it boy? I thought you were busy tending to the horses?"
"Yes ser, I was, I was doin' a fine job o' it too, ser, but an' mesenger came by! Tol' me to tell you somthin'."
Jumper glared at the boy, waiting for the news. "Well? Shall I hear the news, boy, or shall we stand here till the End of Days?"
Tristram scratched his head. "Well, ser, tha's the problem, ser. I cannot recall..."
Jumper scowled at Tristram. "Stupid boy! Disturbing me while I am preparing for the next attack on the Marizu, and with nothing to show for it!"
Tristram mumbled under his breath, "You's been 'preparin' for near a year 'n a half..."
Jumper raised his hand. "Perhaps rattling your brain can jog your memory!"
Tristram covered his face, cowering. "No, ser, please! I remember! I remember!"
"Well? Out with it!"
"The knight Desdendelle wants to be a baron! He asks for support!"
Sir Jumper groaned, lowering his hand, and massaging his face. "Another? What has gotten into these people?" He sighed, turning back to his work. "Tell Sir Desdendelle I do not oppose his bid for baronship. However, I cannot lend him any aid, nor any further support. I am stretched thin as is with my support of the Lady Iximaz and the Cynic. Tell him I hold him in the highest respects, and I wish him the best of luck." He looked over his shoulder. "Are you writing this down?"
Tristram scribbled furiously on his parchment. "...'old in highest respect, 'n wish 'im best o' luck... Got it!"
Jumper nodded. "Good. Now, off with you! And don't bother me again!" Jumper sighed, as the young Bronee child scampered off. "I swear, if one more knight asks for my support, Six help me, I'll..." He shook his head, and continued sharpening his blade, Printworthy. "Nearly ready, old boy. Nearly ready..." -

The knight glanced up from the missive she was writing. "What is it?"
The dusty and disheveled messenger held up a scroll. "The petition for aid!" he cried. "Sir Jumper has agreed to an alliance!"
Lady Iximaz took the offered parchment and unfurled it, her brow furrowing as she read.
"Excellent," she declared at last, letting go of the parchment and allowing it to roll up on its own. "In the event that the Baron Huinesoron does not agree to peacefully cede some of his lands, Sir Jumper will be a great ally." She sighed. "Of course, I hope it does not come to that. Has there been any word from the Baron?"
The messenger shook his head regretfully. "Not yet, miss. The knights and civilians supporting three potential barons is probaby worrying him."
"Not just the knights and civilians," Lady Iximaz said with a small smile. "Some of the barons themselves have stated their support."
The messenger boy's mouth fell open, but he quickly regained his composure. "Is there anything else you require, miss?"
"As a matter of fact, there is. Send word to the rest of the barons and the other would-be barons. I have yet to formally announce to them my desired lands. I do not request much, so, Jaikaiar willing, it will be granted to me in the event of a treaty." She glanced at the sword and shield mounted on the wall. "And tell them that I am willing to use force if necessary." -

He stood in the Eyrie, high above the walls of Castle Kwenaya. From here, the whole isle of Konti-Nyuum was spread out before him, the vast plains underscored by the towering peaks of the Wattuf mountains. It was a land at peace - but also a land of tensions.
"I'm beginning to think this expansion of the Council is a bad idea," he said.
The Lady Kaitlyn stood at his side, hands clasped behind her back. "But wasn't it your idea in the first place?" she asked.
"With some... prompting," Baron Huinesoron admitted. "But the messages we've received have me reconsidering. Thanasius Ampelius is a prominent candidate, and he dwells in the heart of Ozerbord. The Lady Iximaz is making noises in our direction as well. The only one I don't fear will try to divide the Refuge is the Poor Cynick - but even is rumoured to have grand ideas."
"The division of the realm is beyond our power," Kaitlyn reminded him gently. "The Edict of Bast will be followed to the letter - and not an inch more."
"I know - I know." The Baron folded his arms across his chest and stared out into the darkening sky. "But still, I fear the consequences - for the people, what few of them we have."
"Hmm." Kaitlyn turned to look out over Ozerbord, then leant back against the rail and smiled at her husband. "You know, I rather think I have an idea about that..."

And no, it's not "If the Baronial Council wants a war, we'll give them one." ;) As I said, all new PGs (once we get to the voting stage) will be given a chunk of land corresponding with their desired countries of residence, and I'll do my best to be fair about it. Though don't expect Baron hS to be happy about it, even with the Duchess' plan...

It's almost tempting to ask you to throw the PG election, just to see how Lady Iximaz would react to being thwarted... but real!PPC processes come first, fortunately. ;)
But either way, there'll be at least one more opportunity for Plort posts - the announcement of the election winners, whoever those turn out to be. Both winners and losers (if there are any losers; at the moment, we have three candidates, and we often create three PGs at a go) will doubtless have something to say; so, for that matter, will the Barons whose land has just been handed off...

As of last time, we let people cast as many votes as they liked, then gave out PG hats to the top... well, I think it was 'two but the third place is joint with the second'. My thought is that a couple of votes either way isn't really a significant difference, so I'll probably give a little leeway on that score. I'll be starting that thread when I'm sure we've had all the nominations we're going to - probably after the weekend.
(Oh sweet Kanun and Spelin, she's after Critta-Kalthin, isn't she? That's the only usable coastline I've got - and I just spent six months building a proper port there!
But yeah, I tend to draw boundaries along geographical features, so northern Barony Huinesoron is a prime candidate for splitting off. So is southern Phobos, eastern Neshomeh, and, uh, northern Araeph and Cassie, though both their castles are in that region. Oh, and it looks like eastern Dann could go, if we have someone who wants to set up shop in Iric.
But really, it all comes down to where people say they're living. If necessary, I could chop off the southern half of Ozerbord, or massive chunks of Wechi, or even split Barony Araeph in half along the Hyparlink road. No-one'll get short changed - at least not until the Council convenes)

"Not just them, my Lady. Not just them."
From out of the darkness came a voice like a winter's wind in springtime, biting through lamb's wool and freezing the good seed. It was accompanied by a tallish woman dressed as a tatterdemalion, the only colour the gaudy yellow of an old paper crown atop her head.
"There are those who dwell upon the road, Lady, away from high castles and high politics. The Gone-Away-Queen and her Lurking Court will run for you. Aye, run, for no beggar or wanderer or homeward-bounder stays to fight, but none do see them, fair Lady mine, none have a care to look upon them. An idly tossed ha'penny and a kick from the guards for free, and we are put from their minds like filth for a midden. But we see, so we do, oh yes, we see..."
The figure walked forward, gait knock-kneed and stiff with cold, every movement jerky as a badly-made puppet's. "We do see all, fair Lady mine, and we are not seen. Tha's seen me afore today, mark you well, when I were a bright an' shiny little harlequin fer the merriment o' children and the like, but tha's not seen me since. My Court looks and sees and will report, in writin' for them as can read. I'll tell 'em to, fer I'm their Queen, a queen of rats and rottenness, a queen of the midnight alley, a queen of those who hide and are hidden.
"Tha knows me by another name, and tha'll remember if you dare. But now, my fairest Lady, tha'll call me by my deeds. Tha calls me liar and cheat and, yes, vagabond, as befits my Court. Tha calls me beggar and scrounger and mendicant, parasite and plague-bringer and drug-addled caitiff, an' all is true for it's a Lady as does the telling of it. Call me this, highborn."
The woman smiled, yellow in the candlelight.
"Call me Scapegrace." -

She has proven herself time and time again, in both strength and heart. Her missions against the dread Marizu have brought much fortune and favor to these lands.

Truly, is there any other more worthy of rising to Baron? Neigh, I think not.
Should the Barons find Lady Iximaz fit to stand amongst them, I shall pledge my sword to her service; to settle her lands, and defend her honor. And, naturally, slay Marizu. -

He has always provided sound counsel for citizens dreaming of Knighthood, and knights wishing to hone their craft.

My ship is not quite ready to sail to Marizu lands just yet to test my skill you see, and... Oh, I ramble.
The fact remains, he has already proven himself to be a leader in these lands. If he is to accept his nomination, I shall lend my voice in his favor as well.
Regrettably, I will not be able to lend much aid towards him, should he rise to Baronhood. I can provide some of my horses, fine Bronee stock, to assist in settling his claim on Plort. Beyond that, I can only wish him the best of fortune in his endeavors, whatever they may be. -

I blame Real Life—I accepted a leadership role I shouldn't have, it's been a source of a lot of stress, and as a result I've been feeling fairly allergic to anything that resembles committees and small-group politics. The good news is that my term is up this spring and I am so outta there. {= D
I've been against starting this discussion at all for the above reason, but now that it's started... I'm not against the idea of new PGs. I don't know if we need them, but as others have pointed out, new blood and representation of newer generations of Boarders is probably a good idea.
To that end, I fully support the nomination of Iximaz, and I also nominate PoorCynic and doctorlit. They've both been around a good while, they know what's what, and they have shown themselves to be leaders in the community, IMO. (Sorry, hS, but I'm pretty sure we lead by example, if nothing else, what with PGs needing to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, active, good at what we do, etc.) In addition to writing great spin-offs, PC and doclit are some of the best reviewers we've got, PC has his excellent series of workshops, and doclit has done great work on the wiki and in preserving old PPC works for posterity. Plus they're just good guys, which is at least as important as all the rest put together. {= )
So there's that, if they accept and we go ahead with this.

There’s a revolution at hand. Shall some Barons be overthrown? Shall we defend status quo with our lives? Will there be a civil war?
I don’t need a bloody revolution.
But if the Barons are willing to give some of their power and their territories to a new Baroness, or if we, the Knights and Civilians of Plort, can wrestle some land out of their hands without too much bloodshed, then I support the nomination of the Lady Iximaz.

... I do have a plan for Plort. ;) Essentially, I'm going to ask any new PGs we get which country they want to live in, and then arbitrarily cut a chunk out for them. ^_^ In-universe, I imagine there's a ridiculously complicated formula defining the creation of new baronial territories, laid down by GreyLadyBast before she left. Then, naturally, there will be negotiations over the borders during the next Baronial Council (which I'm planning for June, if anyone's wondering, to with the March and September dates of the Shipfest and the Badfic Game), which may get quite heated, or even conceivably lead to war.
And, of course, Knights and Civilians can rise up and demand that their homes switch baronies - but, again, that'll be in the thread in June. (Which I have quite a lot planned for... :D)

Well, on the one hand, it might be nice to have some new blood. On the other, you guys have been PGers since the dawn of time, so everyone trusts your judgement. And I know you said it isn't a status thing, but you do make the decisions about who gets to contribute to our canon, which is kind of a big deal.
Like you said, we haven't had so many Permission Requests that you couldn't keep up, but what if there was a sudden influx in the future?
I'll tentatively say adding someone is a good idea, but... well, I'm not entirely sure who I'd like to nominate. Could I come back to that? -
I second Scapegrace's nomination. by

I haven't been around that long, but you've always been beta-ing for everyone (including my own as-yet-unsubmitted Permission Prompts) and your own missions are always wonderful to read.

...that if I do become a PGer, I'm not allowed to approve you because of that? :P

That has no bearing on me seconding your nomination. You are helpful person. :P

I'd nominate you.
You fit every one of the criteria and you can put up with me, which shows a certain strength of character uncommon in the youth of today (durn kids git offa mah lawn i am 22 i should not feel this old). You're intelligent, you're witty, you know your way around, and I recall you from back when you were RinaAndRanda so there's definitely no problems on a timescale front.
So yeah. Consider yourself nominated, assuming you accept and assuming other people want new PGs.
Of course, since oldbies are positively geriatric, they might offer you some of these. =] -
I agree with Scapegrace. Thirded! by

I may not be around to post much, but this is something I need to chime in about. I believe that Iximaz would make a fantastic Permission Giver, and I am glad to see that I am not alone in this sentiment. She's the one that got me into the PPC community, and she's often one of the first members to interact with newbies. She's passionate about everything the PPC stands for, and I know without a doubt that she wants the best for the PPC as a whole. This would mean a lot for her, and Iximaz would ensure that Permission is granted to those who can bring the best quality of writing into the community. Iximaz has shown maturity and responsibility, and I believe that she would be a perfect fit for the role.

tears up* I'm honored, I really am. I'll accept. And that picture made me laugh very loudly in class. Thanks. :P
I'll have been around for a year this Thursday, actually! Feels like it's been longer, but the PPC has definitely made this the best year of my life that I can remember. -
Happy to be of service. =] (nm) by
