What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Look, hear me out on this one, one of the major things that I find pointless is ECC/O5-1 applications. They dont really serve much purpose, especially considering only one person normally wishes to go for the position at a time anyways, why not just have it so that person can express interest in the position to SSL/SL and they can decide in private. It would bring a lot more "mystery" to the role and would be nice to see people learning more about the role IC over seeing the obvious O5-1 application or ECC application up for 1-2+ weeks.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I couldn't find any
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
More immersion
Less waste of time
More merit based system over application quality based
More prep time for GM's wanting to create a promotion event
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
I honestly cant think of any
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this suggestion could bring a lot more secrecy to the selection of ECC/O5-1 as it should be and would provide GM's with a lot more preparation time to create promotion events. I talked with a few CL5 about this (UK) and they all agreed its not a bad idea. This would act similarly to how the recent UK O5-1 got selected and promoted, with no actual application posted in the end.
