In the spirit of ideas I have, you guessed it, an idea! I was thinking we might want to have two weekly meetings, one in the week, one on the weekend, so people who do things on the weekend can still come, and so can people busy in the week.

For names, I like the "Oder of the Brethren." I think that it gets across what we are trying to do, as well as the fact that it is short and concise. :)

Thanks. Was just a bit worried there.

Again, I reiterate that we will not be having meetings for not apparent reason here. The one thing that a lot of people were not very happy about in the Brethren Court was the fact there were meetings every week, when most of them had no purpose behind them. We're only keeping meetings to when they are necessary.

Also, please remember that right now, new ideas are NOT needed. What we need to cover now is everything I put up in that big long post - rules, applications, events, and a name. I assure you once we start everything up, I'll designate an area in the court dedicated to suggestions.

And as for the name, it seems like it's come down to the Confederation and the Order. It seems that we're leaning towards Order, though, which is my own personal opinion - the Order sounds a lot more united and singular, while Confederation sounds very bureaucratic and governmental. But, I'll wait just a day or two more before I lay the nail down on the name. (Unless you all make an agreement sooner than that.)

Ok, meetings only when needed make sense, like I said, I would like to be judge.

I think the Order is a better name, because as you said before, the Confederation is a little long. :)

About positions... all of them sound like I could manage them, so I'll let you decide. You're the boss.

Alright, because Chris and Tom are going to start work on the site tomorrow, I need a name by tonight. By general majority, if there are no more objections, we will be going with the Order of the Brethren as our name.

Works for me mate!

Sounds good. Now we just have to make that name worth something!

Does that mean Chris and I are Sailmakers? xD

Oh and I can make a wiki for us too.. Later on..

Aye, for right now (and more than likely for a long time forward) you two will be our Site Sailmakers.

And it seems that the consensus has spoke - our official name is now the Order of the Brethren!

With our name down and our site in the works, I want us to focus on our rules. Everybody, reread them when you can and figure if you think anything should change.

Well i think we need to be a little more strict on who can join. We don't want alot of first starting guilds coming then they decide they don't want to be guilds anymore.. Not to go against to go against numbers though either. Maybe a guild has to be a certain age to join?

I'm not going to set a certain age of a guild to be met, but age will still be one of the factors we will look at very closely. Some form of experience and dedication to one's guild will be a prime factor in guild acceptance.

If anybody has anything to add, please speak up.

Also, for reference, guilds who have been approved are as followed:

Partners N Crime
The Silent Force
O'fury's Court
Shadow Sorcerors
Lion Hearted Pirate
The Midnite Clan (due to current guild size and age, this guild will be put on probationary status once the Order starts up.)

Guildmasters, once everything is finalized, you will be receiving a PM concerning the site for the Order, graciously set up by Tom and Chris.

I thinl there should be a set number of times in a row you are absent before you are put in question, therefor it is based on fact, not opinion when someone is put in question because of that. Just my thinking.

I think that this is a VERY good idea! I would say if you consecutively miss two meetings, and you have not posted a leave of absence thread, then your membership shall be questioned...

That would work. 2 consecutive absences would lead to primary questioning, and then a final chance. If a guild doesn't pick themselves up by the third time in a row, then we will start to get serious.
