Subject: Hey this is my half of a ICQ chat i had with Drake regarding Ranks

Drake what do you think of the ranking system i proposed?
last one up there
youre saying the 3 council members decide the issues and the other HM advise and influence their desicions
Well we could combine both your and mine ideas to make a system similar to the Articles of Confederation
if youve forgotten i also am a southern californian
what town do you live in i forgot?
ah
anyways there are 3 basic types of gov
Unitary, federal, and confederal
ill modify the terms to reflect clan life in SH
Unitary consists of a structed ranking system with one leader who has ultimate authority and can change or abolish any rank
an federal, what you propose, has a strong central leadership consisting of a balence of powers who have a large degree of control over the houses although those houses can and do act indepently of the council and can pass their own funcutions taking some responsibliteis of the council away, early HA and SH
Unitary was IU
confederal has the houses in charge with the council, yes there would be a council, having a small degree of supremacy over the the HM's the houses in effect would control the clan over the a congessional voting manner and the council would only oversee the smaller issues such as meetings or large announcements but the houses are protected from the council and the council would be elected house memebrs voted in by the house memebers biweekly most likely.
did i miss or not communicate something very weel??
wheel?
i know im j/k
anything of that sort would be failsafed against
for a house to make a decision it must be voted on for a week
did you read my post clan ranking system?
well even with a council they would have to meet and discuss and if they acted quickly the housemasters would have no input and the system would become unitary
stuff that gets done quickly doesnt have time to develop and give people a chance to react both on the page, and bnet
the best thing we have going for us with the house system is the creation of special interests
well one clan might want a different goal then another house
i give credit to the house creation to Nazareth, he just came up with it one day cause he wanted to have his oppurtunity to lead
opportunities are more easily accessable in a confederal system, also it is much more democratic, a very good thing to have in a clan as long as that clan remains organized
naz sucked on Shafts gilrfriends breast so they dont speak anymore and naz is madly in love with shafts gf even though they stayed together
not pleasent for me either, being in the middle

k, hell have a comp when d2 comes out his brother took his old one and he never got it back
well drake one of my best reasons for the confed gov is that the pressure of Web work would be considerable lessneed
VERY VERY much so
well why couldnt the HM's update their own stuff?
that would be on the job description for a HM its not that hard to learn HTML i could show people who are really ambistios the baciscs and all IE has Frountpage editors
All HM's should be hard workers
having them create thier own house information and house member page would be a fine test for HM quaility and dedication
they would always have the option of asking for help if they have problem with code
well i think that if the HM's had to make their own, they would only have to make 2 different html files, house info and house mem
that would make the HM's be more competitive in not only their leadership on bnet but on the webpage also
every house would be a different atmosphere with different goals so the entire clan would appeal to a wider number of gamers and they could chose the house that reflects their interests .
really the HM's would not have much html work at all, updating members and medals (if that particular) clan has medals is not all that time consuming considering that the HM's are supposed to be online more than the others
the medals are too difficult to maintain
some houses could choose to reward their members in different ways
well the individual HM could decide how much time they want to spend with medals and how much they wish to reward their members and how often they do so.

well try not to be closeminded about change
