At which point the alliance would risk severe destabilization or collapse.<br /><br />If the council of CEOs votes out the Alliance CEO, it is entirely up to the Alliance CEO to relinquish control of the executor corp and its assets. <br /><br />The executor corp can be switched using in-game mechanics, if you can get the buggy thing to actually work. But at the significant cost of the executor corp's assets and Sovereignty.<br /><br />---<br /><br />As background: I was a CEO of a Majesta corp for 6 months spanning both an election and a vote of no-confidence (which I proposed myself). We have since left Majesta in large part because of the unenjoyable aspects of those politics, to found an alliance that is an explicit autocracy.Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042673220750842936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-19146476662083435822011-01-14T07:14:42.816-08:002011-01-14T07:14:42.816-08:00As much maligned as Goons often are, from firsthan...As much maligned as Goons often are, from firsthand experience I can attest that they treat their allies with respect and try to foster more strength and autonomy in their allies. <br /><br />Compare that to the way Atlas treated renters, or to IT resetting POS passwords and throwing their pets into hopeless certain death in desperate self-preservation.<br /><br />EVE is ultimately a social experience, and the ability to hold space depends on maintaining connections and morale. Alliances that hold on to an egotistical superiority complex and treat their partners with disrespect will reap what they sow.KeroZelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566725806973661734noreply@blogger.com
