STAR WARS: The Galactic Civil War

Voting is open
Frankly speaking, I have an objective reason to vote for Tarkin. The structure of the Galactic Republic is too reminiscent of a mixture of the Roman Republic and the USA - that's why I want a radical reworking of the entire system. Even if it means using the military.
Jar Jar Binks already changed many issues, fighting the corruption and made reformations, such as new laws of succession. Also, frankly, any Chancellor can do this, Jar Jar Binks isn't someone you would think of as particularly competent man, especially in military matters, he was general literally a single time, and yet he restored the entire Grand Army of Republic in the previous quest. Any Chancellor can change the Republic.

Frankly, people seem to be voting for Tarkin due to this memetic idea that he was the hottest shit ever. He definitely wasn't the worst military leader in the Galaxy but neither was he the best, in the previous quest, without strict cooperation with Jar Jar, he would had never gone as far as he did, and in official works, like I mentioned previouslu, his own Doctrine failed the Galactic Empire. Tarkin knows how to command people and is as tough as nails but he needs someone who will tell him ''No'' when he presents his ideas.

Agree plus he does actually get a appreciation for Binks so you know, is likely Jar Jar make a apperance here and there.

Plus it is deep ironic a character that is so
deeply connected to the Empire in cannon trying to save the Republic.
I remember Magoose mentioning that we can appoint Binks as our Vice-Chancellor in this quest, regardless who wins. Like, Optimus expy is literally Binks fanboy in-universe.
Well, if it were possible to nationalize the property of corporations associated with corporations as a form of confiscation and mobilize the economy under the slogan "Everything for the Front - Everything for Victory", then that would be good.
That sounds like horrible idea and is pointless, we destroyed monopoly in the previous quest as much as possible. Any corporations left, are relatively, on Galactic scale, small businesses and newly born enterprises.

Maybe not that extreme but I definity see the guy going after the oligarchies if they start to play they own games at the expanse of the war.

Frankly, neither of the top two plans are to my liking, for various reasons…

Now you are contradicting yourself, you just said that is possible for any chancellor to do that but not Tarkin?

And this time Tarkin was not around a Sith lord that could corrupt and live in a society shaped by him that would enable his worst aspects and reward him for that.

The oligarchs who most likely, already joined the Separatists anyway because Binks destroyed their power base?

There are lots of oligarchies around you know.

Not all of them join the Separatists, pretty sure there are plently around that are neutral and on Republic side too.
 
Firstly, a typo - I am not suggesting that private property be abolished at this stage (although I do not respect it). We are talking about monopolists, and those who are directly or indirectly connected with the rebellion. Plus, it would be necessary to bring the concept of natural monopolies to practice and socialize important spheres such as education and healthcare. Secondly, it was the mobilization of the economy that became one of the important factors that saved my country from Nazi enslavement, and the Bolsheviks from counter-revolutionary bandits. So even if such a system should not exist in peacetime, it is just right for the war.

Fair enough, hey, want to hear a secret?
I like both of those votes more than my Orion Pax vote, which while I think is funny, I don't exactly like that much, I just made it to stall Tarkin from being voted and didn't have the time to think of something else, still like Orion, but I consider the vote to be a tad much.

Will Tarkin be able to succeed in the quest? Absolutely, my point was that, any character can do this as well and it feels like most people vote for Tarkin, because they think he is some magical badass and the ultimate military genius and thematically would be more competent than anyone else as war-time Supreme Chancellor, when that's not the case.

Jar Jar, literally kicked Corporations owners and leaders out of the Senate, if any Corporate Oligarchs are left with even sliver of influence in the Republic, they would be minor and only relevant to specific war-fronts.
 
[X] The Prime Choice

Edit: changed my vote because it looked like a loss. Better this than tarkin.

Not cool men, if you are going to create a vote has to be for a genuine reasons because you like the character and not because you hated the other option and delibertly is doing that to trow a wrench in the process.

Now it create this whole expy vs cannon character.

I myself would like a OC characater to win but I will take Tarkin over a blatant expy.

Also mechanically speaking the Loyal Officer appeals to me much better than Outsider, I would pick the Suscessor over the outsider.

If only were that simple the world's trouble would be fixed long ago.

Oh I liked the character, I just wasn't as much of a fan of him as it might have seemed, also, that was a secret, rather rude of you, bringing it out in the open like that, wasn't it?

Says the guy shooting down almost every other OC and telling others Tarkin is the best Choice, and it's not like he's the only Military Human that was voted for.

Gurdian of the Republics comes to mind as an example.
 
I would have created an Original Character... but when I visited the thread there were already 10 pages.

Not really?

I just don't think it is the right time for a Droid to even be seriosu considerate as chancellor because it does not sink in to most they are people.

Socially and culturally leople are not even remotly ready for a droid chancellor.

I also would endorse hard for that character and even create my own OC too but none of them will likely win, not in face of the expy Optimus.

So Tarkin it is.

Though you're right, I think that Comrade Future presented an interesting point. The businesses that have funded the separatist cause are likely to have assets in republic-controlled systems and banks, as such, we could easily deny the enemy resources by freezing their accounts and seizing their assets. Simply put, we must remember that economic warfare is a thing.

We could either sell the assets, consolidate them into a public company (if they are strategically relevant) or simply do nothing with them untill after the war when we can properly judge the owners and use their seiced wealth to repair the damage done by the war. Either way, the CIS will be handicapped.​

I be honest I don't like the idea of Tarkin becoming Chancellor, I mean with the tone set from the previous quest it may seem to most of the galaxy another classic case of human or elitism favortism considering Tarkin is a human even though this is suppossedly a genuine egalitarian democracy and he came from a powerful family hardly a humble beginning and besides, do you honesty think Tarkin has any funny bone? That guy is stiff as a rock.

You were posting on the first page, Really early, before I even posted my Orion Pax Vote on the Second Page.
You legitimately could have made an Military OC then, hell, even after the Orion Vote you could have made it.
Don't blame me for there not being more Military OCs, because they are around, for someone who said you'd support them, you aren't very supportive of OCs, because you either say nothing about them or criticise them.
 
And I just made that HK plan you know? The same droid that fought many wars bigger than Clone Wars and went toe to toe with Jedi and Sith at their height? I certainly did not needed to insert a character from another brand or make an OC to fill the archetype.

I wish I got into the thread earlier, it feels like there's no competing with either a transformers expy or Tarkin because I wasn't fast enough to get my idea out and most of the voters have checked out already

Feels kinda demoralizing, y'know?
 
this is probably not going to win but i have to try

[X]Plan: a Republic divided
-[X] Abrahamis Lincolnis
-[X]

-[X] The Outside Bet: The Reluctant Contender
 
Kriff it, since everyone seem like Tarkin's non-existing brand of humor, I am making another plan next to my HK-47 plan(Plan: Meat Bags!) and that being a character who is a genius like Tarkin but is also nonhuman:


[]Plan: Am I Blue?
-[] Mitth'raw'nuruodo
-[] What do you look like?

-[]The Outside Bet: The Reluctant Contender


Thraw cannot be a chancellor candidate.

Amangoose confirm that, he could.be a member of the goverment but no candidate.
