As many of you may have come to see, the Bretonian Armed Forces has closed its recruitment for the time being. This is because right now we're undergoing internal renewal. I am telling the community this today because things are changing, and the changes are huge.
Many of us know that Lemaitre hasn't been active, and that the rest of the BAF High Command has fallen into shambles. I remember my name being brought up in a discussion about the current BAF leadership. From that moment I decided to stop my slow withdraw from the BAF and took the reigns as the acting leader. I made choices and decisions for the good of the Bretonian Armed Forces.
This post is not to complain. Not to Q_Q. It's to inform the community that I am responsible for the following changes. Changes that have been backed, and accepted by a majority of the Bretonian Armed Forces faction members themselves. I have personally selected, hand picked, by myself, people that I believe are responsible enough to run the faction themselves. This new Admiralty board doesn't go into effect until the rest of the Bretonian Armed Forces members have voted on a new Fleet Admiral.
However, the new board is as followed:
Character Names - Forum names
Lee Adama - leeadama
Martin Bridge - Beunt
Daniel Haynes - Sovereign
Jack Frost - Slainte
Blake Owen - Chernobyl
Tom Ramey - Beck
Robert Jones - Sircian
John Alster - Sly-Beetle
I would like to make note that, as I said in both the new Admiralty Board skype chat, and the BAF faction that, that during the duration of the voting, that if any BAF member acts out of place regarding the voting, and goofs off, I, Wolfs Ghost, retain the right to disband this Admiralty board, and cancel the voting completely.
As I said earlier in the post, this Admiralty board has been hand picked by myself. Why these people? Because I know what they're capable of. I know what the BAF needs in a set group of leaders that have experience in either leading, are active, or are senior BAF members to begin with. From this point on, I am solely responsible for these eight members, and will be glad to take whatever you throw at me.
I would also like to point out how my name isn't on that list, and I'll personally give you a few reasons why. One, I was sanctioned under the BAF tag, twice. I'm not going to carry that as a burden. Two, I am personally not ready to lead a faction such as this. BAF is an old girl, been around since the QCRF, she has a history and a reputation to remain in tact.
Finally, to the people that will disagree to this, see it as a hostile take over, or are the old Admiralty board. One, if you're an old member of the Admiralty board, you should have seen this coming since you stopped being active. I have the backing of the entire BAF faction that is active, save for two people that recent attempted to say they were active, when they weren't. They know who I'm talking about. Two, the ball was pushed into motion since I took the reigns temporarily.
I will be here to answer any comments, questions, concerns, rants, or flames you may wish to throw my way.
As much as I dislike the thought taking control of the faction, we've been headless for too long. I'll try to help you as much as possible during the transition, but I'll be going inactive for about three weeks in a few days. (I'm never on Skype anyways, so whatever.)
If you get a Fleet Admiral nominee soon I'll vote, but if not I'm sure you'll pick the right man for the job without me.
Personally, I'm glad to see things being taken in hand. The BAF has needed this to happen, and in my opinion, you're doing the right thing. Hopefully the old guard will return to play, but in their continued absence you are simply doing what needs to be done. You've got my support, for what it's worth.
As a member of the BAF, I'm rather pleased with the new Admiralty Board. I believe this will inject new life into our faction and will provide the BAF new impetus to interact deeply within the Disco community.
Well, my hope is that you guys come back to vigorous life with the nleast amount of friction possible. If this is the way then trod on please because I intend to do some more active work agains with my NLH. ;)
