Druid's Guild GM and GL Voting Procedure

Post by Alyce Kiltspar »

GM Selection Process


Nomination Period - 1 (OOC) weeks:
This is where a potential candidate is to present his/her case before the guild on the forums why they should be nominated for GM. The incumbent GM is absolved from this process and passes right through to the voting process.

Rules for Nomination:

1. You must be at least 35 (IC) years of age or greater.
2. You must be in good standing with the heavens (Disfavor and Probation are automatic disqualifications. Past disfavors and probations will not be held against a candidate)
3. You are not required to be registered to be nominated
4. Your Guild level and Land Level must be within 10 milestones of each other.
5. You must post your intentions on the OGC Forums -> Druid’s Guild -> Nomination Process (The thread will be started by the GM or the Patron)

*Reminder that this is a twelve (12) month (OOC) position with one Vote of Confidence after six (6) months (OOC) A GM is required to adhere to the polices set forth by the guild as well as the rules set forth by the Guild Patron, OGC and Guild Ops. Failure to adhere to the procedures and policies will result in immediate removal from the position and the Patron will make an emergency Interim GM appointment until the next vote of confidence or election period.

Nominee Vote - 1 (OOC) weeks:
This is where the nominees will be voted upon. The nominee with the highest number of votes will:
  • 1.) Become the GM (providing there is no incumbent GM).
    2.) Will run against the incumbent GM.
GM Voting Process - 2 (OOC) weeks:
This is where the incumbent GM and the nominated candidate will be voted upon. Each member of the Druids guild will have 1 vote. The candidate with the most votes wins and becomes the next GM of the Druid’s Guild.


6th Month Vote of Confidence:
In the middle of a GM’s term (6th month period) a GM Vote of Confidence will run. The guild will have the opportunity to vote yes we have, or no we have no confidence in the current GM’s ability to lead. Each Druid will get 1 vote. Should the majority of the guild vote No Confidence, a GM runoff will begin. The GM Selection Process will then be in effect. Should there be no one who steps forward to run, the incumbent GM whom the guild had no confidence in will remain the GM until the next election process.

GL Selection Process:

The GM will appoint all of the GL’s necessary with a maximum of three (3) GL’s depending on how many active druid’s are in the guild.
A GL is required to remain registered during their time as GL. Should a GL fail to remain registered it is the duty of the GM to appoint a new GL to their position or restore them to their position should they re-register their account.
A GL position is indefinite and at the discretion of the current GM.
A GL must remain in good standing within the guild (No disfavor by the patron or guild probation)
A GL must be at least 35 years of age (IC)
