I do not feel Kio would make a good Marshal Commander at this time, and here is why.
1) Kio more or less killed Nova off due to his own need to show off. He logged... 50 something Command Loggings in the first month. Activity is good and inactivity is bad, but this has shown the server that Over Activity can be just as fatal to a battalion. During this time, I can't even recall how many numerous times that I heard Nova members not wanting to be on their Nova life because they could not do anything aside from the SIMs Kio forced them to do. Not only that, but it very clearly burned Kio out as his loggings were no where close to that the remainder of the month.
2) Kio oversteps his bounds often, not knowing his depth as Nova Commander. While he has (I believe) good intentions at heart, he has regularly overstepped in telling Command Members what to do or how to operate their own battalions. Regularly have I been told "I'm just trying to make other Commanders look good, I don't care about how I look" which, sounds quite disingenuous to say the least. By telling other Commanders, who are EQUAL to yourself how to operate their respected units, you're implying that you know better or are superior to them. Hosting a VCMDR+ meeting to tell others to step it up wasn't a good move either. That is not your job, and I think by doing these things you've made it to where people won't respect you, even if you do get accepted to this position. The general attitude I've seen him have for a long time has only reinforced this as well.
3) He seems to make things up on the fly for no apparent reason. Examples: Kio told another unnamed Command Member that you cannot refer to K2 droids as "Clanker", even calling it FailRP. How is referring to a droid as a droid FailRP? It isn't. When I heard of this he pulled me aside and gave me a word of telling me not to, saying "K2s don't like it". Don't play on a droid then? I've been called that countless times when playing Medical Droid Level Job but I've never taken offense to it nor claimed it FailRP. Not only that, but he tried to tell me during a event briefing that I have to have my ... RP name as my ISB name. Why would that ever be the case when half the time as an ISB you get killed off. I have been a GM numerous times under Emily, Mando, PC and now Kio/Azrael in the absence of PC and never once has that been a rule. Kio, as a SGM, should be aware of GM rules in their entirety, so I do not buy that he was "told numerous times that was a rule".
4) He hasn't really done any positive, notable things for Nova that I have seen, only maintained status quo where possible and kept Nova afloat despite entirely burning them out early in the month. All of this being said, I do not dislike Kio as a person. He can be fun to play with and bullshit with and talk to, but I do not believe he is ready for High Command. I do not think many people would respect that authority if it were vested in him and I think he needs a reality check and more time at Nova Commander before achieving HC. At this moment, I believe there are better options to fill this position.
