I'm gonna start cleaning this thread up from posts that aren't directly related to the topic at hand. So if your post gets deleted, dont take offense, it just wasn't directly related. This is an important thread, so I'm trying to keep it clean.

And no, this is NOT in response to RD's post. I've already started, I'm just announcing it now.

Fantasma, and Adam (who just came back) are currently honorary leadership. Since they've proven they can do ops related things in the past, they're given that rank they had previously. Which means by #'s, they should be both 35 or 36, I don't think there are command differences beetween the two, but I'm usually wrong since I didn't write the bot. :-P


If you read the rules, you'll see that 35 and 36 are the same clan rank. The distinction only exists because I don't want people messing with the music on my computer :)

Your post wasn't a nomination, and therefore wasn't related.

Read John's post, it covers all of the questions you asked.

First of all, Adam and Fan need to either be on the council or not; they can't be inbetween.

Also, 5 people is not enough for a council. It's enough for the leadership, and that's about it. We still need members for the rest of the council.

camel, how many people are in the clan? 5 people on the council is plenty for the ratio we have.

I think adam and fant should both have ops capabilities, but not have a say in council decisions such as this due to their lack of activity. However, lack of activity doesn't not affect their previous ability to know when to kick/ban someone from the channel, making them useful in that sense.

PS - This can also be discussed when the 3 of us meet.

The clan has more than doubled in size every two weeks for the past two months.

prove that. i dont believe it. maybe we have recruited that many, but how many of them are actually around? besides that, how many people have the experience that we need to be on the council? we need people we trust, which only gives us a few options.

Oh right, democracy never works. Sometimes I forget that. We should just stick with the 3 people we have, smurf everyone else.

First off, I don't like that post..

However, 5 is a good number for our current situation for leadership.

Council wise, like on the older levels of generals, I'd say having a few more down the line is not an issue, but we need to pick the rest soon.

I know we've gotten consistantly 3-5 recruits per week for the last few weeks. But right now we have roughly what... 17 active members?

I dunno. Council is a promotable position for anyone around rank 30 right? They hit rank 30 and we decide "Ok, do we want this person on Council or not?"

Is that how this is being handled? Thats fine with me.

As far as fant and Adam, they are literally just there for ops for now, until they become active again. Adam may very quickly become active again, fant, I have no idea. I barely ever talk to him cause hes rarely on AIM.

i used to be 30 on the old bot. but i got demoted to 20.

and camel is right. coucil isnt based on ratio, its based on numbers. 3 or 5 people is close to idk a 3 way dictatorship (dunno what type of gov. it is).

if we have 10 ppl in the clan and 10 council members that'd be perfect but we dont.

and the reason for a council? not to have a ratio number of people running a clan, but numbers for different styles and ideas
