Alright sounds a bit weird but hear me out,
XO’s are the true personifcation of CM & Marine spirit,
XO’s are more powerfull and have the end all authority on the culture aspect, they are able to justify the most dogshit plans and Ideas. CO’s otherwise have been constrained by their whitelist and “Roleplay standards”.
I suspect that the whitelist of CO has thus been created to make sure that XO’s don’t have to learn “marine law” & “Roleplay standards” and I’m mighty thankfull for the councellors that sacrifice themselfs to hold up the CO whitelist. For example almost all appeals are handeled by the CO, planning is done by the XO, XO gets to stay in the bubble and lastly the CO has to stand with the SO peasents like true errand boy that the CO is.
PS: plox add matabe gun for XO’s, glory only awaits!
