Richard Bartle (he of Mud fame) is at fanfest and he was speaking about the council of players idea. Basically he thinks it's not going to work as proposed. I'd agree with that, and the reasons he states are all sound.
I'd like to think that his worries about being insensitive are unfounded, CCP seem like nice enough people and the players are (mostly) pretty mature and intelligent and his point on democracy is right on target, it will just cause problems down the line.
Well done CCP for inviting him, he's one of those people who really understands the issues with online games and his opinions are always going to be worth listening to.
