MTTezla Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's a good Charter guys, but it references a "War Pig" several times without ever defining how the War Pig is appointed or elected. Did you mean the Big Bad Wolf and it's just a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Oliver Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Where's the beef? Oh... wait... this is a [i]BaCON[/i] alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Destruction Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I don't really think what you have down for the amendment process is that great of an idea. It's truly up to you, but you may want to think about letting anyone suggest an amendment, and only letting is pass with a super majority (75%+). Just a thought.
