-Basically Kadaan asked frank questions like,"Why should we join EGC? Why should I join, my business is fine
-I don't need you. How many members can you name? Why doesn't EGC close tent and join CRAFT?"

Arcanor as TK lead.
4. Combat Upgrade:
Colbius and Margot left.
5. open meetings to entire guild:
Everyone agreed.
-Next month to have meeting in a Yacht instead of a public building.
Not sure if good idea, since the public would not be able to attend.
6. fine penalties for bad behavior?
Every agreed that it should be in effect.
Multiple warnings do not work.
A fine is a midlevel punishment that let's us know immediately if a person will correct their behavior.
If they rufuse to pay the fine, we can kick them out of the guild without further disturbances.
-offenders will be warned over and over, if uncompliant they can result in being kicked from EGC.
-Warned over and over?
That is such a waste of time.
Since I came up with the idea, I would like to discuss it to the council.
Everyone who heard my rationale, agreed that it made sense.
7. City Councils?
Everyonme agreed.
-Decided to trust mayors to run cities as they see fit
-but must stay non aligned
8.Feasability of Guild ONLY Discount PA Hall?
Everyone loved the idea.
A'ru is contacting Funkbacca to give him his Pre-CU weapons
9. Creation of a Roleplaying military/jedi branch in the guild for PVP/combat(psygon's suggestion)
Roleplaying was voted against.
Jedi was turned into a Rebel and Imp city.

A seperate city for Jedi (Margotrittaville) already exists to some extent.

8. MDE’s Personal Thoughts:;
“I Would first like to explain MY vision of EGC in the future:;
First the Cities:
I envision the cities being totally self sufficient of the overall guild.
This means I see the mayors running their own cities with their own officers and militia helping them to maintain order.
I also envision not only the cities running themselves and having their own identity but also belonging to a larger EGC community. To do this I imagine the people in your given city being your best friends in game. These people you see everyday, you craft with or hunt or talk to all the time. But how do we achieve this:
I suggest we run a lot of events in the cities and do things together more to make a community feel;
Instead of SAYING we will run monthly events, lets do it. I'm not pointing fingers but since April we have had on our agenda to run monthly events in the cities and I cannot remember one
So if we all see each other more, work together more, and hunt more together then a sense of Rhuidean, or Red Dawn, or Conglomerate will start to build I think;
So now we have a great community in the cities, how do we tie the guild together?
This by doing the monthly meetings, and by having events;
This again to not point fingers means if we say we will have weekly hunts, let's actually do it;
After Margot and Vilance have left it has been hard for me to enjoy the game so much. especially since when I log on MDE I would get complaints or dumb questions about droids on one hand. Then I would get guild emails of people complaining about each other or agenda not getting done.
For this reason I have confessed to a select few I was strongly considering stepping down from leadership in the guild or even quitting the game.
Basically what I want to communicate to you guys is I didn't join EGC to be a babysitter or mediator. I didn't become a leader to do everything or it doesn't get done.
You here are all officers and important people in the guild. I would suggest that you all step up some more. If we ALL do then the guild will be a lot more fun and a greater community will be created.
So if you think we aren't having enough hunts or events, have one! You don't need me or Ulfhere for every decision. And likewise we don't need to do everything.
Now I don't want to speak for Ulfhere, but basically i envision EGC with the cities running themselves and the hunt leader having weekly hunts or events to bring ALL EGC together weekly. Then we still have these meetings to make guild decisions or propose big guild ideas.
I imagine my role being rather small. I think the assistant should lead meetings, do some leg work of the Leader when they can't but overall I shouldn't have as big a role as I do.
If we spread things around I think it will be a lot more fun for all of us.
If we don't work together and I continue to not enjoy the guild and game I will be forced to step down or even quit.-MDE”
Random Things:
-New position: Newby Crafter Helper: Ackie
-New position: Newby Fighter Helpers: Aesher, Sakatosan, and Tsoxiv
-No spamming in guild chat
-City militias now require atleast 8 active PEOPLE (Not alts)
-New position: Rebel Pilot Lead
-New position: Imperial Pilot Lead
-New position: Freelance Pilot Lead
-Disputers need to be resolved more by people in guild, don’t expect the leaders to mediate every dispute.
-Leadership and power have responsibility, this means people with this need to act in a mature and polite manner, not abuse power, annoy, or be rude.- GOLDEN RULE
-Try to attract more vendors and Doctors to the cities
-Slate will be clean, but in the future we expect ALL officers to do their required duties:
-Mayors must have 8 people in militia, must have a financial and recruitment officer, and must run a monthly event at minimum in their city.
-Financial Officers are required to pay for the city. If this is through lot donations or a city donations vendors, this is up to the city.
-Recruitment Officers are in charge of recruiting and need to keep the population levels as high as possible.
-EGC Hunt Officer must run a weekly event/hunt at minimum.
-Assistant Leader must run monthly event and type up minutes for dispersal
-Leader must coordinate agenda of the guild and see it is done
-Council must attend meetings and vote or voice opinions on major decisions.
