None of this exists for the LC. The LC is a unique institution in the entire NS (I don’t even remember any UCR that has this kind of setup). The LC’s location on the chaotic gameside also restricts it from complex decision-making. I think the best solution available now is just to abolish it really. It is clear that attempts to fix LC as it is now are practically impossible for many reasons I believe are beyond our control (such as the inherent chaos of the RMB) and keeping it is doing more harm than good with the separation between forumside and gameside community (there should be only one TSP community that happens to stay on many platforms due to limited technological capabilities)

I actually both agree/disagree with this. We can’t fix the current iteration of LC, it was broken at the start. We can create something that brings value to the people that are mainly gameside and who don’t have advocates for their interests.

People take the benefits of being in a feeder for granted, with the constant influx of players popping into existence without any effort on our part to lure them here via recruiting. That’s what and who the LC should be for, a guide to people to get more involved. By all means, let’s tear it down, but we need to build something in its place, and this time with connections.

We definitely need a replacement yes. I don’t believe in the current cabinet or near-future cabinets’ abilities to appoint the correct people for the job. I proposed something similar to TNP gameside advocate above however some forms of gameside inputs would be nice (either directly via a gameside poll or indirectly by making the process of participating in the process easier for interested people).
