That way, when I take command of a PUG group, it'll be less like herding cats and more like this:



Hey, at least then they'd be useful.

Like for video + possible 40k reference.

I would be wary of granting anyone powers that could be used to troll players though.

I want a button that auto shouts rhetoric at the troops I am commanding, and to be allowed to TK without penalty if my orders are not followed. Otherwise I am not able to RP a commissar. PGI please fix.

(Chorus)
The whole world revolves around me
'Cause I'm just an egoist
The person who is closest to me
Is me, I'm an egoist (x2)

Topping the list
There's me
You must forgive me
But I love myself
Even though I'm quite
Very critical
All day long there's
Only myself on my mind

I've attached a mirror
Above my bed
So my own mirror image
Will guard my sleep
And I don't want to want anybody
No - I want to be wanted
Until I get what I need
I'll never stop

Chorus:

The whole world revolves around me
'Cause I'm just an egoist
The person who is closest to me
Is me, I'm an egoist (x2)

Love comes from loving
And I'll start with myself
And with some luck
It'll be your turn one day
I give to my ego
The special treat every day
Only most times I give it all to myself in the first place
And best it be pure... sure

On each new day on which my view of the world exists
I recognize myself
And fall in love anew
The Stars write my name
Into the skies
To let it burn bright in your eyes

Chorus

The whole world revolves around me
'Cause I'm just an egoist
The person who is closest to me
Is me, I'm an egoist (x2)

What is he
What's he got
What can he do
What does he do
What does he say
Who does he think he is? (x2)

The whole world revolves around me
'Cause I'm just an egoist
The person who is closest to me
Is me, I'm an egoist

The whole world revolves around me (x2)

Just what is he
Just what's he got
Just what can he do
Just what does he do
Just what does he say
Just who does he think he is? (x6)

Is it even possible to take command of a pug group? Everyone want to be the lone hero and cohesion only lasts as long as the general direction everyones going remains consistant. There seems to be a very survival of the fittest mantra with mechwarriors feeling genuinly insulted when direction is provided.

I would kill for a solid commander in pug fights but so far thats happened maybe twice in my pug experiances.

If we get Commissar powers, does that mean we can shoot cowards in the back of the head to improve the morale of nearby survivors?

If there was a selection process for commander, sure.
As it stands the commander is whoever presses the button first, and I hate the idea of giving any Jackass the option to "make an example of me" because he feels like it.

CALLING DER KOMMISAR JACKASS IS NOTABLE GROUNDS FOR EXECUTION!

You clearly deserve preemptive punishment.

"Legitimate ideas"? Dude posted a Megas XLR video. And there's no way "Commissar like powers" would have been anything other than a terrible idea that's only useful for trolling.

Trolling is legitimate ideas in practice. Now bend over for herr komissar's inspection, no looking back in ktown.

"backward" isn't even a part of my battlefield vocabulary. I had to wait until this match was over before I could even comprehend your sentence :).
