A option to change the guild to a voting system controlled rather than rights and stuff,



Basically on the guild page there is a vote button, and there is options there, like vote rename, vote change guildnews. On other guilds there is a vote add to ally button, On each team members page that normally has their rank and rights there is a vote for kick button, vote leader, vote for rank change, and vote for take away voting powers.



Basically it works like this, minor things like ranks require 40% of the guild to vote for it, and 40% to change guild news, bigger things like kicking/recruiting players or removing voting privilages requires 60%, and things like changing name of guild or adding/removing ally's or making someone a new leader requires 70%, disbanding the guild requires 90%.



While this is complex, I feel Something like this could be scripted to be a option for guilds, since doing the voting manually and procedurally and getting everyone online at once is so slow and hard. I feel it would be a more fair and happy way to be able to run a guild, and a less tyranical leader control all, while the creator still gets to choose the rename and such, it's still possible for a guild to transfer leadership to another member.



Maybe even a thing that allows the leader to enter the precentages for what, to make it take more or less votes to do stuff like kicking,



I know it's alot, but I feel like it would be a great help for guilds  

Also there should be an option added that players can get rights to add Guild Pictures without giving the ownership away (might get stolen or the other player already got a guild)  

As a guild leader, I'm not convinced that a fully automated democratic style of leadership would really be a benefit. I understand your train of thought in this though: Democracy could help cater for the majority of the guild, reducing conflicts, involving everyone, and taking the load off of the leader. You'd be encouraging people to get involved, to make decisions, and that can work great in a guild setting. However, I do feel there are some things that simply don't work.

• In an automated system where changes are proposed and guild members are required to vote it is going to take time. In that time you're probably going to have the person who proposed the change start contacting each member and telling them to vote. That removes the intended convenience, because if that were the case, you could just do it through PM's instead. Similarly, discussing issues as a guild is a lot more personal than a polling system.
  
  
• Giving empowerment to each member is going to cause conflict when there's a difference in opinion. People don't like to be told that their opinion is wrong, and if that starts escalating then you're going to need an actual leader to mediate the situation. Again, this takes away the idealistic approach that voting gives people power and thus everyone is happy, because that's just not how things work.
  
  
• Some people just want to participate in a guild. Some people have more influence than others. Some people have been in a guild longer than others, is there a difference? Should there be? You can't really rely on everyone to have an opinion, or for opinions to be within the best interest of the guild.

So yeah, that's pretty much the disadvantages of having a democratic system, especially one that is automated. I think the style in which you lead your guild should be up to its leader, because in my opinion there's always going to be a need for one. Perhaps we'd benefit more from each guild getting a mini message-board with a polling feature.  

I like dictatorships. This idea would be great, but only if optional. I like to rule over my underguildmates with absolute power and no regard for anything but what I think is fair.  

yes i said it would just be a option, and the reason why it would be automatic would be so people could vote at different times, and so it would be automatic so the leader doesnt need to do it. in a sense changing leader to founder. plus i dont see why the mediator needs to be a leader

this one  

The power to give powers would be neato.

And the power to give power to gi- nah

Callimuc's idea is good too, maybe the leader could give the power to change guild pic. Otherwise Higbey's ideas could have a lot of guilds messed around with.

Also, imagine voting just to change one persons rank @-@ omg  

I want an option (that if the leader checks, like recruitment powers and rank powers) that makes it so ONLY the leader can kick them, not members with kicking powers. This would allow active tower taking guilds to truly have "perms".  

Guilds should be allowed to have allies, but turn off ally messages so that you can have a whole branch like tower and spar guild etc without having all this spam  

I am sorry to say this. Im normally for democracies but here im totally against it! Get a hacker in your guild and you cant kick him! Great, what if he has friends? They kick you! He becomes leader of the maybe best guild in graal and you can do nothing. How would you like that?

But the idea to give guild-picture right and give-rights right is actually good. But the guilds should stay under one trustworthy leader!
