even what a novice should be, is &quot;Intimately familiar with the MoA&quot;. I've got this test I made, I'm open to other options.  

If someone has another idea, we'll tack it on as another &quot;MoA familiarity&quot; challenge and let people pick which they'd rather do.

			<description>The guildmaster is supposed to be an elected position, chosen by a majority vote of all guildmembers. If anyone wants to become the next guildmaster, I think we should hold elections sometime in the near future.



I would love to serve as the Guildmaster. The Schmiedennarren and the idea of a guild is an idea that 'm very excited about and I would enjoy serving as the Guildmaster at least until we get the guild up and running. I feel very uncomfortable in my current role of, I daresay, de  ...</description>

Some notes: By &quot;cite&quot; I mean name a name. If Kairi passes your greatclub that you made for &quot;soldiery&quot;, just put her name down. She doesn't need to verify by posting or messaging anything anywhere or to anyone, but you should check with whoever first to make sure they're OK that you put their name down.

			<description>Please post ideas of what you think each rank (novice, apprentice, journeyman, master) of guildmember should do, should be expected to be able to do, or even what they should be like in order to attain said rank.

We'll use this as a springboard for ranking challenges and perhaps for altering the charter if we see fit.



My opinion:



I think a novice should show interest in smithing (like it is now). 



apprentice should show application of interest in smithing, at least by crafting  ...</description>

Angus,

Chwiwgwn,

Iohn,

Kairen,

Odin,

Svipdag,

Tygrieve,

and Tyr,



Which makes 8 members. that means that 6 or more &quot;yes&quot; votes and this will be ratified.

I've allowed vote cancelling, so if you don't like it as is, just vote &quot;no&quot;. Post specifically what you think should be changed, and I'll try to change it. Once you're satisfied with the way it is, cancel your vote, and change it to &quot;yes&quot;
