I'm cool with the +3. That's the standard I got voted in on. I wouldn't mind seeing it a little more difficult to get in though; we're all saps and the majority of us will vote yes. +5? |

Ok to start off... this constitution is very similar to Gooses. In many cases, it is almost the same..just more thoroughly written and organized when compared to the original. My intent was not to replace or abolish the original system with one of my own. Considering the clan was practically dead and we had maybe 15 people check the site weekly, i felt that taking down Gooses constitution and just starting from scratch would make it much easier and help it go along quicker. I felt that putting the thing to a vote to abolish it would have led to a failing vote as many people like it and would just "amend" it. This would have led to an amendment process to add and strip things out of it which could get seriously unorganized very fast and take much more time to complete. If it did pass and we did abolish it, we would be right where we are now. This is an open discussion where everyone gets to inject their opinions and ideas. Personally i feel it is going very well as many of you have had good opinions. Alex, the +3 was not a bad idea and you are correct in the fact it was mentioned before and possibly used. The fraction deciding is very very easy. Everyone makes it seems like people are gonna have to spend forever counting and doing math. 2/3 is no different then the original system of 67% that Goose had intended. Writing it as a fraction was just easier and looked more professional. If someone cannot figure out if there are 2/3 more yes votes then no votes, they shouldnt be in this clan to begin with....as i learned that shit when i was 9 years old. We could change the 4/5 one down to 2/3 as well. Or we could just abolish the 2/3 and use the +3 or however many yes votes over no votes idea which I wouldnt argue with as that is a solid idea as well. I felt that starting somewhat fresh considering this will be a clan of a new game, would have been easier and faster and less of a confusing predicament. The Constitution I have written adds a few more Amendments to the original and as i said, are much more thorough. Let's keep discussing this. Make a good draft, and then put it to an official vote in another thread. Edited Wed Jul 11 2012, 10:04PM |

I'm going to admit defeat concerning this new voting system. My position has been this: cut corners only where necessary, otherwise stick to the rules as they exist. The only corner that I see that really needs to be cut is the 12 vote minimum in the Goose voting system. So as far as I understand it, the Goose voting system is being nullified or already has been nullified by magical means, and FT membership is being modified by fiat since there is no current system. This also means that my nomination by Knight was apparently for entertainment purposes only. I'll wait and see what you guys come up, and I'll apply later once all of the kinks are worked out. I'm taking my name out of the "roaster" now.

In the end, what ever lies, if we all agree with a new system we should put a vote, using the old system, to nullify gooses the ratify glitches. I think that's what I'm getting. | ||

I forgot to make a thread about this...lol. The problem with this is that using the old system, we may not be able to get enough votes to actually get the original nullified and mine ratified. I could try...but we barely got enough votes for Alex's nomination lol. What do you think of the changes made? I will put this to a vote regardless and give it a shot once everyone comes to a consensus. Edited Thu Jul 12 2012, 04:57AM |
