Mhm. Overall, there was a huge lack of coordination between members of the Nations. While I'm certain taking off the earpieces helped the leaders, this left everyone else in the dark. This, in turn, caused a great deal of players to begin to act on their own. While I'm not adverse to players acting out on their own, I do not believe they understood that what they were doing would cause a diplomatic fiasco.
For instance, as far as I could tell, the Security Chief did not relay any information whatsoever from the summit, to peacekeepers. Aside from direct orders to detain or combat a Nation, we didn't know Why we were being ordered to do things. Peacekeepers saw nations illegally claiming land, fighting, and didn't understand if they should intervene or not. Maybe we were stopping an illegal claim, maybe we were disrupting the very order we are supposed to protect.
I understand that the Nation Heads are busy, or having fun roleplaying, and I don't believe it to be their fault.
I believe the crew would benefit from a simple bouncer radio being present at the negotiations, publicly broadcasting the going-ons.
Peacekeepers in particular should be in constant contact with the appropriate information they need to fulfill their job correctly.
Moreover, a sort of "hierarchy" as described by Froggit might be beneficial so as to dissuade confusion, and nation-members from acting out on their own.
Departments could elect a Representative. Representative's elect a Nation Head from amongst themselves, to attend the summit.
Nation Heads relay information down to the Representative. Thus negating the "population problem", and hopefully addressing members of a nation acting out on their own.
Civilia would, perhaps rightfully, be one of the few whereby this system wouldn't work, and would be mostly without direction.
I.G., a miner expands into Maint. The Rep of mining reigns him in, telling him that they haven't yet laid claims, and doing so would create tensions between "X" department/the U.N.. Problem Solved. Maybe report it to Nation Head, either way it's solved.
Alternatively, If the Rep fails to reign him in, or encourages his behavior, Mining itself may be rouge within Engistan.
Engistani Reps/the Nation Head may need to take disciplinary action, organizing against them, or calling the U.N. for support.
(Thus having the U.N. Acknowledge that the actions of mining are unsanctioned by Engistan, causing lessened diplomatic tensions.)
