Jan (in reference to the peace)- Griff did come to me regarding ending the war. He was told that if he wanted to end the war, all he had to do was stop attacking. He then started more attack threads against TNO worlds. Sort of the same situation with Dolash asking for peace (IC) on one hand and attacking us with ships with another. It sort of calls into question the person's sincerety about peace, you know.

Picking on TGC? TGC wouldn't even
be a group if it wasn't for the staff relaxing the merger rules for them so don't even go that route.
Griff is the leader of his group and it seems he wants this moved forward now with restrictions.
What does the leader of TGC say (since the leader will not be able to be kicked out of the newly formed group)?
Once answered the staff will decide yes or no and, if yes, what restrictions are in place.
Honestly, the threads of Lorenzo and Milkshake are merely technicalities. The staff has granted concessions in the past (TGC for example)... but the main differences I see between the formation of the Coalition, the BDE-Farfaleen mergers and the proposed TGC/ORS merger were that the first two were decisions between 2 separate (OOC) group leaders.
With this one, with the way this request thread reads and the way everyone seems to post, Griff (leader of one group) decided to do this, has been working on it for a while, and everyone (ORS and TGC) just seem to be going with the flow...
You see, "mergers are actions between the two leaders of the groups."
With the way this whole thread reads (to me, at least), Griff simply told TRF and TGC that he is doing a merge.
It's not an agreement between two group leaders but the leader of one group telling another group (as a whole) what is going to happen. It's like trying to conquer a group without the IC work to go along.
I am not saying that is what it is, but that just the way it seems to be written and
that is why I have asked twice who the "leader" of TGC is.
I know Griff is one architect of this merger. Who is his TGC counterpart?
