Council Needed.

http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2310

My proposal is (currently) to have 3 members from each of these guilds [GoMa, GoW and GoA] serve on the panel, giving a nice round 9 total. Eventually we will have a web-based FCA Application, and those submitted to the panel will be reviewed, commented on and voted on in one central location -- here in [the GoMa] forum. Probably there will be a FCA Panel subforum created just for this purpose, and it will be visible only to current members of the panel. I'm thinking just setting up a simple poll for each application, and each panelist can vote and comment, and the results and a summary of the comments can be returned to the applicant.

However, all of this -- the wording of the form, the process for accepting/rejecting an application, terms and length of panel membership, etc. -- will be discussed among the whole panel once it has been formed. So whoever is selected to be the first wave of FCA panelists will need to be willing to help invent the process.

So, please reply here if you are interested. ... The way I envision it, the panel will change fairly often -- maybe every few months or after a certain number of applications -- depending on how many are on the waiting list. So if you don't make it on the first wave, don't give up!


After reading this I have come to the conclusion that the GOGU requires 27 council members. I've yet to figure out what for, I'll decide on that when we cross that bridge. But we will need someone to make sandwiches and give me a back massage.

I think that's a good start.

Well, anyone can tell that this is going to be like having 27 midgets in a clown suit, all knifing each other for who gets to wear the red rubber nose.

The sad truth is that 27's not enough, nosir, not enough by half. Anyone who IS anyone in Uru, or has been anyone for any length of time, or who WANTS to be anyone (and we know who we are), knows damn well that 27 midgets can't fill a clown suit up to its ass, much less to the part where the chuckles come from (see Red Nose, above). Nope, you'll need 40 or more. 27 is just more of the same tantalizing optimistic happily hopeful always-cheerful Wishful Thinking that brought MOUL to a sudden stop like a drunk donkey running head first into a brick wall.

Midgets. Clowns. Bring 'em on.

14 of the 38 midgets inside the Barney the Dinosaur suit.

It's not the size of the person that counts. But the size of the bullshit they can throw around. Otherwise all those guilds would be going nowhere.
