I have severe doubts for GalGov. We ran it as an Assembly, with votes and advisors to make sure it will not impact the playerbase. We had unofficial factions reps, unofficial lawful reps, also weighing in, so that they also have a voice in the Assembly. Many decisions were modified to fit with the rest of the faction. We even had third-parties from other horizons, who played in Gallia but were not part of factions, to weigh in, and give us insights. Nothing was perfect of course, nothing is.
A single person, not gonna name them due to the controversy, will now represent a House, from what I see. And each decision, will be subject to a long review. The staff complained about being overworked? They just gave themselves overtime - grocery store overtime. Licenses will take a while, responses between inRP reps. will take a while: before, it worked well, and I have, and I questioned few others (ex-) members of other governments, that no incident warranted such a response.
IRL, governments are made of people elected, directly or indirectly depending on their separate laws. I believe having representatives of factions, like we used to do, and were proud to do so for an ENTIRE YEAR, is something to think about.
For me, I am against this change due to how the unOF, unlawfuls, and unlawfulOFs are not represented. What if this said person, who is, essentially, in its very definition a despot [for Gallia] (alongside how the staff now leads the government, so add an "s" to it). I am saddened, that my goal of trying to make Gallia better, we finally made the laws, we finally made the licenses. In short, I am disappointed.
For legal reasons, this is an opinion. Please do not take it as an attack or anything, take it as face value. If you want, it is a critique: no strong words were used, no critics of persons were realized. I am simply criticizing this decision.
