I took the liberty of removing the double thread, since they both seem to indicate the same thing. Upon review of the GenoHaradan, there seems to be little to no reason for anyone to protest that a cannon faction be playable within the Star Wars Universe. The only thing that I found of slight concern was how best to balance the near limitless resources that the organization appears to have when it comes to information gathering--as such facets usually incorporate a network of intelligence which I can almost assuredly promote cannot exist within the AGW mainframe (at least, not unless our member numbers jumped to exceptionally high values and we could have typists in the multiple fields of said network gathering the data, a tedious job that I'm sure no typist would do in the long term).

But, as the request seems geared towards the playability of the faction, I'm not adversely against it, and I look forward to seeing how you will roleplay the faction. Note: You did request to have the GenoHaradan as a playable faction, and not to be in a command structure (Overseer) of said faction. Such a thing would have to be requested in a separate thread.

I vote to APPROVE the request.

Echuu has anticipated much of my reluctance on this request (I'll restate it anyway though, because I'm verbose). And so, wording this very carefully, I vote to APPROVE Dimitri's character being a member of the GenoHaradan.

However, I must emphasize that this isn't a vote to have any sort of command role in the GenoHaradan or, most importantly, the use of GenoHaradan's formidable intelligence network as an excuse to have OOC knowledge of every happenstance in the RP. As Echuu points out (here and elsewhere), the acquiring of sensitive information in RP has always been difficult to moderate, and usually some sort of explanation and/or playing out the acquistion of specific classified data is necessary to be considered legitimate and fair to other players.

But I must disclaim there are many exceptions to this, which is what it makes it so difficult to moderate (thus I usually try to naysay it in advance, as I'm doing now).

Secondarily, as a member of the GenoHaradan, Dimitri will also have access to information, weapons, ships, etc. as well as information. I'm somewhat less discriminating on these than I am on information, but here too is the potential for abuse. I'm only mentioning this in passing, however, because I trust Dimitri's typist not to get carried away with this point (such as allotting himself a fleet of ships with squadrons of support or, say, legions of soldiers or droids. Suffice to say, though, please don't do that. lol).

No worries Jace, I won't go hogwild. I never planned to have Dimitri as a command element. Perhaps in the future via play, but for now he's just a high-end go-to guy. Hell, you could pass him down missions via the Management profile if you want. When it comes to requisitions, odds are it'll be him, his droid and the two ships they fly. The GenoHaradan don't do much fleet action.

OK, I think that I know you well enough to know that this isn't going to be a problem however for my own piece of mind I should make one stipulation:

I will vote to Approve only with the clause that Management can pull this at any time if necessary.
