With PvP soon to be implemented, it is time to closely inspect Vanguard and our contract with them. While the initial idea behind the creation of Vanguard was honourable, in practice I don't think that it will work as planned.
With PvP, I can easily see factions created for inter-server wars. We have multiple large land claims denoted on the server map: Beacon Village and surrounds, Sunnyvale and surrounds, the LRRdom, Renbail's Forest, AV Island, and others. As we get used to PvP, factions will undoubtedly form. The factions will most likely remain friendly with each other diplomatically, but still fight each other in the field for fun.
Basically, how can Vanguard operate in such a scenario? How can it remain completely neutral? It cannot. It will inevitably take sides despite the honourable intentions.
Because of this, I formally propose that we break with Vanguard as a policing force for Beacon territory and form our own defense network. We will need defense soldiers (perhaps called Constables or Sheriff and deputies in keeping with the theme) to patrol the Village to ensure that the neutrality zone is not breeched by fighting. Basically, the creation of a police force for Beacon.
Without Vanguard, we can use the Division 2 HQ on the main square as the defense HQ. All we need is a name and volunteers. I'd like the input of the entire council on this matter since it is so important.
