Men, Elves, Dwarves, and all other creatures of Middle Earth: The Darkness is growing; none can deny it nor escape it. It grows with every passing day, stronger and stronger, while we stand by and do nothing to combat it. How long will we allow the hand of Sauron to grow? Will we ever take up arms against this storm of evil?
Hear me now, I say no more! As many of you have probably heard, there is a new faction of evil doers here in Middle Earth: The Cult of Sauron. Many are flocking to this group, making their cult grow stronger and stronger. What happens when they have enough power to march across Middle Earth, spreading their evil even further? Will no one stand against them? Who is strong enough to do so?
I propose a new Alliance; A counsel, in which representatives of all free races of Middle Earth may take part of. I propose and announce the formation of: “The Counsel of Light”
The time has come, for the good and pure of heart to make their stand. Not only to stop the Cult of Sauron, but ALL EVIL.
The Counsel of Light:
Our Philosophy: We fight Evil yes, but that is to general a thing to say. To belong to the Counsel is to love and respect all of light and life; in every form. We in the Counsel are here to represent freedom, life and love, and respect towards all. It is therefore fitting and proper that each member must model these virtues of charity. We also are believe in maintaining a strong loyalty to each other, and honor in battle.
The Counsel: The Counsel consists of a Chairmen, Three Ring Members, and then all other members.
The Chairmen: The Chairmen (or spokesperson if you will) is by no means the leader or boss. He/she merely speaks on behave of the Counsel as a whole. The primary purpose of the Chairmen is to direct and maintain order in the Counsel, and to engage in all primary diplomatic relations with other factions. The Chairmen can make no choices involving anything other than basic diplomatic related actions.
The Chairmen receives one vote in any matter, just as everyone else does.
The position of Chairmen is an elected position. Elections will be held near the end of each term. Chairmen may be re-elected infinitely, but may not run more than 2 terms in a row. (So every 2 elections you would be unable to rerun.
The Three Ring Members: The Ring Members play a vital role in the Counsel. While no one is meant to be ‘exalted’ or ‘better’ then the rest, there does need to be a tightly knit circle of unity. If you have a council with 30+ people, and everyone is equal, how will you maintain order? This is the job of the Three Ring Members.
The Three Ring Members are meant to direct and lead the counsel. While each Ring Member still can only give one vote on any matter, they are the people who can open a vote on any matter. Only one Ring Member is needed to open a vote to something, but not without discussing it first. So the Ring Members are needed to lead the Democracy of the Counsel.
The Ring Members are elected to office, and their term in office lasts as long as the Chairmen. Ring Members can also be reelected, with no limit.
Members: All Members are equal, and are able to vote once in any matter of debate or discussion. As a member you are able to openly state your opinion on any matter or task at hand. Your opinion is very important and is needed.
In order to be eligible to be elected to the Chair or the Three Ring Members you must be nominated, and your nomination must be seconded. After that, all you need is enough votes. You not allowed to be nominated for the Chair and the Three Ring Circle at the same time.
Rules For All Members: As a Member of the Counsel of Light you must abide to our Code. Our Code is simple: Live the Philosophy of Light. If you can’t be a respectable player; if you curse and are rude to other players on the server, and if you can’t be respectful and mature, then you must redeem yourself before being able to join us.
Elections: Elections for the Chair and the Three Ring Members will take place at a set time. (Not set yet, but probably every 3 weeks or so.) In order to be eligible for an office you must be nominated by other members, and then receive enough votes. It’s that simple.
How do I become a Member?
In order to join the Counsel you must be sponsored by one of the Three Ring Members, and then voted in by the rest of the counsel. The easiest way to be sponsored is to message is Ring Member.; That Ring Member will evaluate you to see if you are ‘worthy’ of the Counsel. The Ring Member will also more than likely talk to others about you. If you are sponsored, he will present you as a candidate before the rest of the Counsel.
(Until we jump Start the Counsel just post in the form, talk to me in game, or message me)
How do we ‘Jump Start’ the Counsel?
Everything has a beginning. It may not be so simple to get good trustworthy people into the counsel to begin with…. And I’m sure that the Cult will try to place spies in our mists as well. Unfortunately, the only way we will be able to do this is to leave the choices up to me, but only until we get 10 members. As soon as we have 10 members we will hold our first elections, and then the Counsel will be formed. I will in no way shape or form be a king, leader or tyrant of this counsel. I seek to be equal to you all. But someone has to form the Counsel.
Can you get ‘kicked out’ of the Counsel?
Yes, in the case of a serious crime or offence, one of the Three Ring Members would need to open it to a vote. But not before proper reason and evidence are given.
