The biggest problem I have in general is that any conflict that could have been interesting or made interesting by being a proxy war effectively devolved to players getting banned, and then quitting (or other unsatisfying conclusions)

Where Geladyne would have benefitted from a war with Beggar's Hole/Wasgow/Wanderer's Vale, it effectively died down due to a clear lack of interest in the conflict from most parties involved after the leadership vanished into the night.

Where Geladyne could have potentially benefitted elsewhere pending on how things had gone, it was cut off short by players being generally un-cooperative and then the rest seemed uninterested in continuing it.

That being said. This is a different topic entirely.

Im not huge on the idea of OOC terms. Esspecially considering I've effectively elected to hold the post of Premier until the Premier either dies or finds a decent successor (Which is a very slow pick for reasons that should be obvious)

ICly, I feel like Telegrad having elections every now and again makes sense, its just a matter of picking candidates - and it is not as if there needs to be bitterness with the position changing hands if it ever does. It doesn't even have to be a legitimate election if they so-choose, which would be cause for intrigue and interest. Esspecially if the new leadership does not uphold the same values as the old (IE, Holding trade with Geladyne, for example)

But most other places are either steeped in lore around their leadership that I haven't fully read yet (Duyuei) - or in similar position to the Premier to an extent (With their own sets of problems)

The problem is people need to effectively want to lead and potentially make bad decisions, or want to try to create a conflict that isn't completely assinine
