This is the OoC Thread for the SocAlComm treaty organization (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=373053&page=1&pp=15). Currently, the principal powers here are Hrstrovokia, Kilwaitey, and myself, but I hope that this short list will expand as other members and candidates contribute (and there has been interest).
This thread is for discussing technical matters, such as:
Do we want separate threads for various SocAlComm organs, particularly the Security Council, the Economic Council, the Secretariat, and the Court of Justice--but also for SocAlComm RP's, such as might be happening soon with the signing of the Treaty in Belgrade and is emerging in Hrstrovokia's Civil Unrest thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=378283).
My own thought is that, yes, a lot of these things should take place on different threads. I agree with Kilwaitey's proposals for a SocAlComm military thread, where force strengths can be posted and military actions debated, and I think that the other main organs should also be threaded as they get more developed. Separate threads for RP's already seem to be evolving, and it might be a good idea, once we get our shit together, to create a new Secretariat thread to replace the current [under Construction!] thread, where the Charters will be posted, candidacies nominated, amendments proposed, ejections (!) debated, and so forth.
Moreover, we need a place besides the main thread where we can talk freely about, say, the posts we want, and how we want them to work. If I want to be General Secretary, or the Director-General of Allied Forces, or whatever, it's hard to come out and say that frankly in the IC Thread. It comes across as unseemly, and it's a pain in the ass to negotiate things like that by TG.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.
The idea behind this organization, after all, is that it is to be effective as an institution. There are already plenty of mutual-defense treaties out there, and trade communities, and so forth, but this is supposed to be a little more than simply the sum of its parts.
I hope that this can happen.
