Well if the election is a bust then I think the whole thing should be scraped.
Just to say Rare, Raifudo and Zenaku and then whoever they appoint...that puts us right back at the beginning before the election when Rares and Raifudo decided to dissolve the council. This is unsatisfactory to me. We had the election to figure out what do to because of that mess that was created through the take over. I for one am not willing to just say...
ok the election didn't work, just go with the take over and hush it.
Go back to how it used to be run and then behave yourselves. People who are eligible to serve being one of the three ways...
Jinchuuriki
Kage
and add in, if you like...
Village Appointment
You look at the list. It is not gonna change all that much. And those who wish to serve just do it. We all know that basically anyone can watch a match and call autohitting, god modding, metagaming and those sort of things.
The rules are already made so that doesn't have to be redone.
Truthfully? There was nothing wrong with the council to begin with. It was not inactive, just claimed to be so. Council members were active moderating bijuu matches the whole time. When an issue was brought up everyone came out and debated the heck out of it anyway.
The biggest thing the council has to do is moderate bijuu matches. You don't need every member on the council for that. Just one who is online at the time. That was the beauty of a large list. Many possible names of people who would probably be on line when needed.
Then if you don' t like the ruling given get a second opinion from another council member. Three max to avoid a stalemate.
If any huge changes to rules have to be made you can get people together just like was done for this whole revamp.
Anyone can judge a bijuu match as long as both people agree to it. You don't really need an official council meeting for that until a huge disagreement occurs.
And that just brings us back to the point of some of those clearly not being fit, not all past jinchuriki and kage being eligible, etc, and we just keep going back and forth. Since we bothered so much and wasted so much time, while seeing just how few people opted for the old council we might as well figure out a way to make it work.
But if we were to actually go with the old council, something I and quite a few clearly oppose(poll and threads based), I'd at least suggest a major clean up in regards to the clearly inactive and clearly non-eligible(reputed for barely being average, to put it nicely). Given that we would decide things vote wise, it should be a majority thing while that's kinda hard when the active members aren't even a majority(exaggeration).
Again, since things would go down through votes and what not, those with the ability to vote on such as council members should at the very least be widely trusted for their rp skill, insight, and input value. <- That's a suggestion if we are to (god forbid) go with the old council.
To sum it all up, an active, globally acknowledge, and respected council, should be made out of such people only in order to work.
Well, I've put my two cents in on the matter so many times so far that if someone was to collect them all he/she would become a billionaire. That's my opinion, I suppose I will go with whatever is decided, my participation in it depending on such.
EDIT:
As a matter of fact, going with the council from the voting does not seem like such a bad idea. Many of the said abuses were people leveling the accounts of others or so they claim, I know at least some of them are exactly such. So the amount of abuse is probably way lower, well WE have yet to decide what to do.
As for the nothing being wrong with it - chaos could rise from the "unexperienced"(I am VERY generous) passing poor judgement. Then people would go, well he is a council member so I believed him.
Now this here is a personal opinion: if a council has the members A B C D E (number is fairly accurate) that are badly renown, unacknowledged, viewed as worthless by many, then that council as a whole is no better. I would find it a disgrace for any respectable rp'er to be part of such a council. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if people did not want to acknowledge it.
As for the activity you stated, at least 2 or 3 members were inactive and a whole lot more not really doing moderation as what not cause they aren't all that acknowledged to begin with or simply do not care. And for the sake of pointing out errors:
Raiken is listed as active member and as living large in retirement also. I think that's an error unless I misunderstood the meaning.
Please try to keep you opinions as suggestions, I felt that rather than that, you were imposing in your last post. Sorry if I mistook that though.
