Vortex Wars Council

[Sabre]

I'll add Issue 5 immediately, if it's passed it will void the need for the O.O.S. Vote, give AF clan rights, instate Chris as the second Bench member, as well as begin voting for the third Bench member.

[Sabre]

On a second note I would like to address the requirements for joining the Council Board (Normal Member of Council, not Bench.), being recognized as Active by the Council, & the requirements for clan wars.

This is my recommendation & I would like for the current members of the Board to help me alter and improve it.

To be recognized as a Active Clan

1. You must have 8 active members. (Prior to this it was widely accepted to be 4 active members, but I believe it should be increased so that it is easier to do wars and etc.)
2. You must have been in existence for TWO WEEKS minimum. (This is to make sure you won't fall apart in three days.)
3. You must receive a majority "Yes" from the Council Board.

To be registered as a Board Member
1. You must already be recognized as an Active Clan.
2. You must be in existence for a Month (The Board is a serious matter with no official maximum capacity, we need to know that you won't just disappear.)
3. You must receive majority "Yes" from the Council Board.

On Clan Wars.

First off, I would like to have FUTURE clan wars listed on the front page and then award titles or SOMETHING to the clans who do best.
Of course not any old clan war would be able to count so..

1. War must be with a clan that is recognized as ACTIVE.
2. War must have at least 10 battles.

That's all.

Now, none of what I just said is a rule, nor will it happen necassarily, it is simply a suggestion to the clans, you can all add and modify to this until it is satisfactory.

Board Clan needs voting and requirements, probably close to that, active clan doesn't need to be so strict, especially as it may be a bit less inviting to join a clan that isn't even recognized, given the speed at which things happen. I don't think active clan really even needs the council approval, I've recognized the Mantids as another clan, even if I haven't voted for them to be on the council. Heck, I listed the Star Demons, and nobody would have let them on the council.

Either vote for The Killer Mantids or abstain.
They're 5 issue's have you even bothered to vote on any(so called biggest clan leader,who's numbers are doubtful anymore)
And no long drowl about if the three stooges are part of it.
The council is to get things done Autumnwolf17 not a platform for you to win an Oscar.

8 members seem fair enough, but maybe 6 would be better?

Perhaps, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling.

Everything looks sound. I agree with all of the requirements, though looking from a new clan point of view, one month will seem too long to most. I say that if an Active clan asks to be accepted as a member prior to the one month period, a unanimous vote will allow them entry.

That is a legitimate concern, we could shorten it or do away with it as it would require two weeks to become an active clan and you have to be an active clan to be a member.

[Ratburntro44]

No to issues 4 and 5.

Vortex Wars Council Charter:

The Vortex Wars Council is established to provide a governing body for Active Clans.

The Vortex Wars Council is comprised of one designated clan leader for each Active Clan plus Forum Moderators.

Each designated clan leader will appoint one member of their clan to serve as an alternate. The alternate only acts in the absence of their clan leader so that the clan is represented.

The purpose of the Vortex Wars Council is to provide a venue for establishing a sense of order and decisions that are applicable to all clans.

Each Clan is independent and is autonomous in any internal clan matter.

The Council cannot dictate or impose anything on an individual clan.

The Council will provide structure and arbitration on matters that either impact all clans or cannot be resolved by the clans themselves.

The Council may vote on any issue raised by Active Clans and will provide a decision that represents the consensus or at least majority will of the Clan community.
