HUTT CARTEL DEBATE 2015

[Livgardist]

I was originally going to wait for Norbs to reply as well before posting my opinion, but...

I think they need to stay. It IS the *Hutt* Cartel, after all. My opinion? There should be a Hutt Council as the arbitrary leaders of the Hutt Cartel. Their identities should be the most closely guarded secret of the Cartel - only the Granee Lorda (which would be below them and answer to them, and not necessarily a Hutt) should know their identities, if even him. But, they should give the Granee Lorda free hands and operational independence to run the Cartel as he sees fit, unless they veto his plans.

Now, whether they be NPCs or PCs, I can't say. Anyway, the above would be my opinion, though of course it could be modified.

But, more importantly, I'm curious to see what Norb's answer to my questions will be.

Like i said, if the support is against this, it doesn't have to be done, I was just floating it as an idea

 

[Nor'baal]

All bar one of the players I have spoken to in the past few days believe that the Cartel should be lead by a Hutt.

I will keep the council, but expand on the Powers of the Grandee Lorda to back up his ability to make IC decisions that effect the Cartel without running it by them first.

My character will NOT become faction leader. He will, like everyone else, be part of the Grandee Lordas Crime Family - centralising the Cartels membership into a more easily operable unit - like the Sith have done with their Stormies.

48-72 hours for sign ups and promotions is something I support also.

Plus - I have an idea to open up a new branch of th armed forces based on the Zann Consortiums Defilers, as I have at least 4-5 players who have expressed interest in a covert/corruption role - these guys would be used to corrupt planets (with plausible deniability for the Hutts) and being them under our Control as puppet states.

Etc etc

Wouldn't it be better to just send regular Cartel members? I mean, its not like most, if not all of the Cartel characters aren't highly trained.

 

[Nor'baal]

It certainly would be - however I would like to give then a snazzy name.

'Defilers' it sounds cool and people here like cool things. I am not sure yet how it will be implemented and to be honest it will most likely just be a lose affiliation of members, unless there is a big urgent pull for it to be more formal.
