L won't be the only decent candidate, but I'd be interested in putting him up for Head of Tower.
First, he's been a department head on a ship before in his previous game, so he has experience, and I have experience with organizing the OOC end of stuff like that, hopefully in ways that aren't too binding or oppressive for other players, but instead give them stuff to do and make them feel like their characters are more fully integrated into the environment. I notice that sometimes when games have job systems, it's really common for them to fall by the wayside and for people to be confused about what's going on simply because there's not always a lot of OOC organization or communication about that aspect. Also, ordering people around through investigation and coordinating creative quick retrievals and stuff in very high-stakes scenarios is pretty much what L does in canon.
Second, and following on that, I had already drafted and was planning to send out a note to people whose characters' current job assignments were Tower-related work (mostly Stealth, Intel, and Counter-Intel) to ask them if they wanted to loosely coordinate in future plots, sort of like the stuff I did for the rescues! Just non-binding ideas, opportunities, ways to get characters talking to each other in ways that incorporate their jobs or talents. (If somebody saw me saying on Plurk the other day that I'd "left something really important out of his CR meme post, but I'll talk about it in the near future in a game-related plurk," this is what I was referring to.) I like helping other players find each other and helping facilitate CR, and also making it possible for characters who would not really want to "obey authority" feel like their ideas and talents are respected, and their IC "boss" isn't that far above them in hierarchical terms.
If he's not chosen, I'd still be willing to help out the player of the character who is with this kind of coordination, if they want it and if the plot works out in such a way that it's helpful to other players to do it. ETA: and since I suspect these positions will be temporary, during the anniversary event and while apps are closed, I'll still be willing to help do this kind of thing afterward if the need comes up.
