tl;dr: that statement, while understandable, fails to factor in the openness of how it works. Most things are based purely on the actions of players and results are given as stated. But generalizing something like that into a statistic doesn't work out correctly here.
((What? I think you misread me somewhere. What openness? What statistic? Assume that the are jaded?
This system as proposed would give team leaders the power to play favor politics. I think that's a bad idea, and since it can be easily avoided without major sacrifices to the game, I don't think it should be done.
Your view on the responsibilities of the leader, and whether I should be allowed to assume something, is frankly irrelevant.))

((Stacy = female. Wherein nobody even asked to see if they were wrong or not, or even their name. Oh wow.))
However, I still picture Milno as a woman
((He's 17 and O_o Huh?))
((Stacy Butter is male. That's a fact. Also, you see something wrong with my vision of Milno?))
((Yes, while delegating something to a non-GM authority does have that probability, however on the implication of subtle shady dealings and such, it is pretty obvious if they do that. Everything is handled by the GM though, and I'm seeing that as a case of wording--basically a 'Steve +Community' deal only that the first step in handling anything is shown to be given to leaders first instead of that mention. I got what you're saying, silly
it's just that I'm poking at how that could be misrepresented. It seemed like you were leaning on bias rather than discussing it, then.
Secondly, it is a fact that veterans are better able to do things, and rookies are more likely to screw up. Yes, the entire thing is based on actions. But that doesn't change anything, you're basically requiring one person to continuously outthink the other. If I may bring something politically loaded in this, it's the same as the system in which a woman had to be twice as good as a man to get a job. Yes, it's possible. But the dice are loaded against you.
Because of the level system, perhaps. However, the 'screw up' part is relative [I can't say we're all equal, but being 'more likely' in that wording goes along it being a higher chance on a larger gap rather than a small difference. It's generalizing in the way that things need to be 'continuous', which isn't how it works given the token system {granted for certain actions at the right time}]. Overshooting due to being too good at something also happens, and that was what others were referring to in the misunderstood posts, but all of it could be resolved if we focused on the big deal (also that it would
also be unfair to veterans to see newbies rise too fast in the ranks given said argument compared to what they did--while this is subject to discussion, it's something we both get here). The politically loaded part is subjective in this case but yes, that happens--it doesn't hold value here though. [Must be a culture thing, we've less occurrences of that here in the Philippines but I get the point there, though it deviates to sexism and its moral/emotional implications, which seems more like a strawman to the case in mention].
Also not language problems. I'm pulling up statements which I guessed connected to his argument.
..Also the later 'huh' was on how you saw Milno--you never said how and I wonder how you wonder that. And yes, Stacy is male.))
