guild collective gm vote - Page 3 - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

I like the concept, and I would be willing to participate, and even run for leader, but I would also have a set of guide-lines.

My question is:

Clarify/define the purpose of the group, something that would motivate me and everyone in it be a proud member

Can anyone answer this question? or have suggestions

For example, I would be willing to join, a well defined concept that would pursuit for a common goal. For example, getting the guild into the leader-boards- so proudly say, we all did it together and server as example that pirates united can make a big things happen. Or server a purpose to each other that is sustainable. For instance, if the leader is not on for a few days, the guild be able to keep up and have their goals in mind.

--

If not run for leader

I would be willing to join one of my pirates and be called Spanian

If run for leader

For one thing, I would add 2 pirates, 1 for leader ( if elected ) and one as common member or whatever rank is assigned.
I very much like the idea of each member creating a new pirate that represents their guild name.
Each member would be assigned with a good sense set of authority and representation, same as my second pirate.

Come out with a common set of rules that everyone can agree on.

and more importantly, clarify the purpose of the group, I would not like to just be in it for the sakes of being in it, there needs to be a common ground, something that would motivate me and everyone in it be a proud member

and lastly, it would not affect my participation in my own guild.

Also, have at the beginning a very strong agreement, for example, if I ever need to step down from my leader position ( if elected ), I would transfer my leader pirate/and or position to the new leader (any workable way).

and would need a solid commitment from the founder guilds, meaning that , not all the work be left to me. I would be sure to propagate the work among the group, or have some helpers do that, and they would have the responsibility of their duty as much as me

and last but not least, select a nice name, some suggestions that maybe everyone can vote on, but I would also need to feel comfortable with the name

also, perhaps it be exclusive only for guild masters only, or qualified first mate.

And maybe add a way so that gms can bring their officers if they feel is necessary, maybe have a guideline for officers names also, which would represent the guild they come from, not sure how this would work out, but seems that it needs to be exclusive for it it to accomplish its purpose. (Otherwise why not just join some guild called toilet and they guild anyone) And also I can imagine us needing more help, so there for is where we add the extra program to allow officers to join also, but following the guidelinesthere ther

PS:

for the leader selection shouldn't there be a poll? also, give more time like 1 or 2 weeks so that all the people that would like to run get a chance. And not just rush and all the sudden the next day, and everyone else who could of potentially being a core part of the group had not chance to see what's happening. And maybe give like 1 week for the selection ? , or why the rush if the group is supposedly be around for a long time?

Thanks , I just saw that, after I posted. I didn't realized there was a thread already regarding the details. But anyhow, what I said it still apply.

If you found anything wrong with my post, can you say exactly what?

And looking like you are not allowing for further discussion on the details. Maybe is not such a great idea after all, well good luck mate!.

I'm going to start a poll to decide the gm. So vote for the better gm del. Who has over 1500 posts and a sub forum. Whale Carlos has 20 I have more posts than that.

Whoah. Hold up.

Just because I have 1,500 posts and a subforum, DOES NOT make me a better Guildmaster than Carlos. All it means is that I've been on this site a little longer than he has. Besides, Carlos has a very, VERY successful guild, which I truly admire through his and his member's hard work and determination.

I'm no better than anybody else, so don't try to paint me as a messiah.

CaptainMonkeys · #38 09-18-2010, 04:43 PM

I once met Carlos on the dock of Port Royal, and he seemed very nice. He leads the guild Spania, and that guild is EVERYWHERE. I think it will be a close run!

Captain Del · #39 09-18-2010, 04:49 PM

Also, I don't particularly like the favoritism thing you have going on, Countainer. How can you exactly turn this collective in to a successful establishment if you basically force the others to vote for me? Unless you leave your own opinions out of this, I refuse to run.

Tiberius Fireskull · #40 09-18-2010, 04:54 PM

I see that Drama is already starting... ok guys, let me help run things along here.

If you want to run for the guildmaster, please post after me saying that you are running.

I guess Ill run, for guildmaster, but I have a feeling Del or Carlos will win.

Ok, people running so far are: Davy Fireskull, Delmaria Darkskull, Carlos

I believe before any polls is ran. We should know, who is on board.

After leader is chosen (and everyone is on board), I believe there needs to be an introduction of guidelines, and the leader will need to introduce or build the framework, for which the guild will be ran. Perhaps polls to decide certain things as we go along, make suggestions as we go along, vote on things as we go along

And suggestions should always be taken in consideration from members of the union as long they make sense and focus on the bigger picture

Also I was thinking,

In addition to adding his pirates (or her ) the leader should create a new account to exclusively be the GM of the guild (i t can be basic or unlimited is up to the leader; this is debatable ), that way in case the leader at some point steps down. Things won't end there, there will always be the option to transfer that account to a new leader or even add a democratic process to choose the leader in the future, I believe it expands the possibilities, so that the guild and the leader is not forced wholly and entirely on one person forever, seeming that many parties will be involved, and that someone will be around forever is not guaranteed. Or even on temporary basis switch leader if it comes down to that.

if it comes down to switch leader in the future

A new leader can indeed change how things are ran, but without violating the guild constitution, and would also need approval from the guild leadership members / or majority ( or whatever process take place )

is this making any sense?

CaptainMonkeys · #42 09-19-2010, 01:46 AM

Honestly, I don't like the idea of transfering accounts. You aren't supposed to do it, nor ever were. It's against the rules, I believe.

You shouldn't do it.

If this against the forums rules? Also notice that this kind of event is not done everyday and there could be exception I will Disney about that. And also since the account is not a personal account I don't believe there is any risk, and should only be shared among leader to another leader.

You could always transfer the GM pirate, in exchange for another. It's possible, and not against their rules, since you do it through them.

That would be a good option too, I have never done it.

But sounds more practical that the other option
