Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

[Shalimar]

What Legacy needs is fresh blood to be a leader, because at this point its too fractious and cliqueish to accept one of its own as leader (assuming Anika turns Mark in). Another reason it should be someone from outside is none of the insiders would be able to get Legacy to crack down and actually train up enough to act like a unit that works together.

I honestly don't see who could step in and lead. None of the 'reservists' or 'former members' would be able to avoid the factionism in the group

Bringing in new leader is always a bad idea... the new leader has an uphill battle... but it can be good too, if the leader is good.

I think it depends on how much of a hole you are in if its worth getting a new leader or just being locked in a room together for 48 hours.

I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that Paragon already knows about Mark's drug problem.

I think what Legacy needs is a clear mission. Its conflicting priorities make effective leadership impossible because it has no direction. As part PR device and and part combat team, it makes comprimises that hinder it in each area. And it's tendency to split into sub teams and bring in Reserve members for missions prevents the team from developing much teamwork - the people you trained with probably aren't going to be ones covering your back.

Moreover, why assume that Legacy is even intended to have sterling teamwork and effective leadership? I don't think Legacy is meant to have much capacity for autonomous action. The current situation keeps the team fairly dependent on its higher ups - namely Paragon - for direction and dispute resolution. I don't think it was ever stated exactly exactly what, if any, actual authority Mark and Anika are supposed to have over the other members. So that makes their command roles pretty nominal.

I'm not sure another leader would work. Especially since a good portion of the team would end up giving him hell, or just ignoring him. But it is dangerous to have a leader start joining the factions...that ended up happening in Project: Daedalus where the new members were pretty much cut-off from the rest of the group.

Also, look at the way Paragon bypasses the chain of command. Granted, this isn't a military organization, but he sends Ryan and Tina off to hunt down Cassandra, ignoring Mark and Anika. Just like at Hong Kong.

Heh, Tim could lead. Now that would be an even funnier leader than Kiyana.

You do realize that Cassie won't respond well to the heavy handed antics that Ryan seems set on right? In fact it would very likely be the match that lights her fuse.

His current 'drug problem', you mean? Now that you mention it, he does seem quite omnicient at times (likely thanks to SARAH), so that wouldn't surprise me. Doesn't mean Anika's not going to want it to be dealt with.

Of course he'll know of Mark's past, for certain. Anika's counting on that.

Anika tried telling him that. He's damn stubborn though, especially with Miss Stubborn draped over him. Anika's also stubborn, but she's certainly out-bullheaded here. Plus Paragon's told them to do it, so it's a difficult arguement.

Should be an interesting encounter. Hope they don't expect to drag poor James into it. He always gets the bum deal having to port people around.
