Changes to the Stormrage Guild system

You hold a non-elected position of some responsibility and power.  Use it wisely.

My feeling is that Tal was implicitly elected by everyone that stepped forward and signed the charater at the start. Everyone was free to hold back at that point and voice any objections if they had any on his being the one to hold the highest ranking position. And as Occhidiangela pointed out:

a ) he volunteered

b ) he'll do the work

He had posted his intentions prior to the game going live and the servers up. There was plenty of time for comments or objections then. I saw none at that time, nor shortly after the formation of the guild.

From what I know of the Guildmasters screen, there is an option of some sort to allow the passing of the Guildmaster position to another character. Do you propose that there now be an election? A rather formal and structured thing to do in light of a desire to have a laid back approch to all of this. As for a vote, I would just cast mine now for Tal to take that potentially ungrateful postition to be in ("the buck stops here").

Also keep in mind about your references to the beta guild. When all the guilds in the beta test were disolved; it took the combined players of both the beta1 and PvP servers AND recuiting players on the street to get the guild restarted. With such a small group (less than 9), it is a lot easier to get by with no structure to the guild. And since there was effectively no addition of new players coming in, there was not much need to address being able to offer any of our friends a decent playing environment. If it is to be an overly restrictive environment for being in the guild; I have a different approch I will take, removing my characters from the guild and my presence from the server.
