Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'd like to start working on a way to govern and run this guild.

I would like it to be something along the lines of the United Nations.

My idea is that each of the three groups will nominate and vote two representatives into the crew of this guild. Of those six people, one will be chosen by everyone in the guild to be "Secretary General" for one term (six months). They will serve as the Captain of the guiild. A second person from one of the two remaining groups will be voted into the position of Under Secretary General. They will be the Vice Captain.

The Captain's job will be to organize the election for the next term. As well as to take motions from everyone to bring a topic to the floor for discussion. If the council (of six) happen to tie on a subject, the SG's vote will count twice.

The Vice Captain (USG) will take over when the SG is unable to perform his/her duties.

The Council will bring concerns and other matters before the guild from their groups. They will also act as a check and balance for when one group has too many members and therefore the majority.

Everyone in the guild (Now called "The general assembly") will vote on all topics. A pass will get that topic voted on by the council. There will be a discussion period before voting where they may bring up concerns or may argue in the topic's favor.

The council must vote a second time to pass this topic. This will act as checks and balances should one group have a majority. (Which is likely)

The council may also vote to usurp a SG. It has to have four votes total to kick out a SG. If this occurs the USG will be promoted to SG. The former SG will then be given the choice to resign from the council or remain as a council member. The general assembly will then vote on a new USG. A guild may have to vote on a new representative should the former SG choose to resign.

No captains of Corp guild may run for council. We'll have to decide about Vice-Captains of Corp guilds. I dunno about that really.

What do you guys think?

As for the topics we will discuss, I really don't know. I guess cooperative efforts? Non cooperative efforts?

I think a term for SG should only be for a year. I think come the new elections, they should not be allowed to run again and a SG from another Corp should be chosen. (This way, the Corp with the most members will not have the SG every single year.) I think they should be allowed to be revoted in by their constituents to council. Maybe put a time limit on that? I don't know.

What do you have trouble with?

I want it to be easy to understand.

I did Model UN in high school., so I might have explained it like everyone did Model UN.

It made a little more sense he second time I read it. Maybe its just I don't get politics too well sweatdrop

Definitely sounds like you put a lot of thought into it though

I've been thinking about it a lot since the other day.

I think if we actually could put this together, issues like what happened the other day would be non existent, and we could air any grievances in an open matter before everyone involved. If someone was too scared to call out another group for doing something they disagree with, they could message their Representative Council member and have him or her do it without any consequences to the whistle blower. :3

Groups could then have their representatives address issues pointed towards themselves. Like this matter from the other day. The rep could have easily handled that in a message to everyone involved.

Of course, like the real UN, this group would have no real powers over the other groups.

We could make a motion to force E-Corp to stop making bombs and it could pass--but E-Corp could (and probably would) ignore it. Like North Korea.

Granted, I wouldn't want it to be used for RP-topics like that. :/ But that's a good example of what I mean when I say this organization would have no power XD

Makes sense. And if everyone is willing to go along with it, it definitely would make things easier. :3

A year really is a long time on the internet though XD A lot could happen in that time. Something shorter like six months would probably be better

I like how diplomatic and formal this plan sounds. You've done a nice job organizing this, Zi.

the guilds will have to organize their votes on their own, and I imagine each will do so differently.
