Wren in answer to your question: the Constitution is pretty much supposed to be a primer for your Realm. If there is a question the Constitution should answer it the same way the BoW does for Rules. Brooder, as far as selling myself on the position, I am not a marketing rep so I am not really good at sales etc. I can tell you that if it needed to be done in previous experiences with BMCS realms I got it done. Unit affiliations as well. Any assignments I was given I completed. I am very loyal to my Realm and want to see it succeed!
Wilhelm, I have a plan of action for garbing people. I am going through all of my material this winter and making garb out of anything that looks even remotely useable. If it is a horrible color or something really gaudy, I figure this is good for loaner garb as not as likely for them to just decide to keep it. They would look pretty silly at events etc...get my drift..for example material that has Bright orange flames on yellow background...(yes I actually have such an animal) I will likely be making lots of garb with this as well as other fun stuff... Not likely some noob is going to take off with this though...also this is a way for us to recognize the new kids.
I also was talking to Wren about the Heralds' Tabard having a designation for press so that she or whoever can be out there for photography purposes and people will understand she is NOT a Herald...Also I have placed Referee stripes on my Herald Tabard to designate mine as a Herald.

Constitutional revisions pass, Supreme Kommadant is in charge of inter-realm relationships such as Build Days, Garb Days, Training Days, etc. Why do we feel this needs to be put in to the Constitution? and Candidates how shall you get more people into the realm??? Will you make new policy for getting people more up to speed on the there own gear? Good Question Wilhelm, As you may not have heard i am going to be attending Rockford College in the fall of 2011, there i plan on at least handing out flyers and posting them all over campus, if i am not able to actually create a club at the school. I also plan on bringing these new people into the sport with the knowledge that it is inexpensive to get their own gear and that they need to do so if they want to continue and have their own stuff that they can take pride in the fact that it is theirs and they built it. I plan on doing this by getting together with the newer people that we know are staying and helping them build some gear.

I'm good at organizing people to make events come out well. When I was a corporal, my platoon sergeant came to me with changes to patrol, guard shift, and operation plans. He left it to me to make the appropriate changes and preparations for our platoon.
I'd make a good Supreme Kommandant because I'm good at motivating people when changes need to be made, I'm good at filling in for people in meetings and gatherings, I'm fair-minded and even-tempered, and even with those last two in mind, it's always foremost in my mind to keep the interests of those I represent first.

Just throwing this out there. There's been talk about not making Kaptian an officer position. I still think we have a great need for one but yeah, I'm agreeing it wouldn't have be an official officer rank. Maybe like a rank below a Kovnik or just a title. What do you guys think?
So the Constitution is our foundation? Wouldn't that include what we stand for and our personal realm rules and inner workings and what not like I said before?

There is no good reason for kaptain to be an officer position, IMO. Everything the position does has been covered either by the other officer positions or is just kinda redundant. We're not a company of 300 people that we need someone to take care or public relations. It should be everyone's job to worry about image to our general public and inter-belegarth relations. i.e. = don't be retarded.

Kaptain as officer is something I was thinking over as well. I thought about it and I don't see why it should be, but can see how it would. If that makes sense. But simply, this would be something that would be voted on. Regardless, I still feel there's a need for Kaptain.
As for the Supreme Kommandant thing. It would basically be for the realm related building and garbing events we do. Not like our normal "Hey guys, lets get together and make stuff" build session. but more of the "hey, lets pump up Khador's loaner pile and teach our noobies how to build" or "lets do a day for teaching people how to make garb" sort of events. Days where Khador would be supplying the majority of the tools and materials for things, paid for via dues and donations from members. That's where Supreme Kommandant comes in. Organizing and handling the materials and scheduling the event.
If it isn't liked, or people feel it's unneeded, like I said more than once before. This is what voting is for.
EDIT: Will we be doing the vote this sunday, or are we going to take more time to discuss everything? We talked about letting discussions and nominations run two weeks before we put it up to vote.

Ironside, i'm assuming that we aren't meeting and voting this week (or having practice), as it's supposed to be in the low 40's on sunday. please correct me if i'm wrong in assuming this.

Woozle, I am going to jump in here on the temperature point anyway..low 40's just means dress warmer...as far as vote was to go for another week on the decision process before it was to be put to vote so as to give those who are not on board but who attend practice to find out who has been nominated and give them a chance to decide. I, for one, will not be in attendance on Sunday most likely as I am out of town and not certain if I will make it back in time......if I make it I make it...

This is an assumption but, doesn't everyone voting have access to the forums here?
Wouldn't it be reasonable to maybe vote on here. Put up a poll for x number of days. Just a suggestion.
Since everyone is (presumably) on the forums or can get a hold of someone who is....Anyone can propose or arrange these realm projects and everyone can sound off on days when they are available. Seems redundant to have someone moderate it. Why no-one has set up a thread for it is beyond me.
I just think instead of appointing someone to moderate these gatherings we should just dialogue on it and on that note....

as far as i know, if there's practice on sunday, i may or may not be there. i'll be gone all weekend, or at least through saturday, and i may need to take sunday off from practice to catch up on homework and sleep. i just thought that since when it's 40 degress outside, i'm wearing 4 layers and i'm STILL cold. hell, even with a coat on as well i'm freezing. i don't know if it's the same for everyone else though.

Honestly, that sounds like a good Idea, because I've been working more hours. Hence why I wasn't at Nominations, but you it would be fairly simple to have the poll open for a certain amount of hours.

Been shooting it around with brooder, stuck between him going around to everyone on facebook and getting their votes or setting up a poll on the forums here. Problems being: the facebook thing is time consuming and if I set up a poll on the forums anyone on the forums can vote. And doing it at practice would just be silly because they'll probable be all of four people there. Trying to come up with some kind of middle ground between all those problems. Thinking it'll probably just end up on the boards tomorrow and we'll just have to trust that no one cheats.

How about we just make a new thread and everyone just posts who they want to vote for, so that way no one has an opperunity to cheat and create new accounts or non realm people can vote or whatever. Basically, make the votes public. I believe most realms do something simlar to that anyways. I doubt anyone is going to take any vote personal. Make the voting period last eight days, starting next Sunday morning, ending the following Sunday evening. That way you can change your vote anytime you want. That fly with everyone?

I would not have a problem with that but there may be a very few who do NOT want everyone to know who they voted for Brooder. Some people do want to keep their votes private. That may cause a problem or cause them to not vote at all....

Fair enough. Anyone doesn't want to do public voting? Speak up.

I don't mind public voting, I will not take anything personal and I hope others will do the same.

Honestly, I don't like the idea of public voting. Also, not everyone is on the boards....and not everyone checks them that often either. My thought was rig up some voting thing...like a pole...on here if possible and someone could hit up the people who aren't on here on Facebook. Most of Khador is on here so. Although that does pose the problem that anyone could vote. Since this Khador it really is something that only Khadorians should be doing.
Or if we do a public vote, maybe have one person be in charge of it and that is the person that like everyone emails or something. That's what I was thinking for the people who aren't on the boards. I can shoot them an email on Facebook, give them a chance to read this, and get on here and what not if they're not.
Also, may I point out that PR is more than just Kracken said. It's also informing what's going on. I was PR chair for my club at school, and most of what I did was inform the club members and the public about events and such and informed the public about the club and what we did. Examples: posting stuff in the paper, sending out emails about events and stuff, making and posting fliers, chalking sidewalks, etc. Hence why PR and secretary go well together. So Kaptain would be the person in charge of that kind of as well keeping the paper work on file: waivers, the Con, BoW, etc. This would be the main person in charge of making sure things like the posters for RockCon got done and stuff like that. They wouldn't have to be the only person who did it, just the person to make sure the shit got done and what not.
Also, not sure if this was already asked, but to the two up for re-election to their current positions, what would either of you two do to help Khador "grow"/move up/further develop as a realm? What do you think needs to be improved and what would you do as your position to make those improvements happen? (If this has already been asked and answered, please let me know. Trying to keep up with this but got a little behind with my internet being stupid throughout this week.)

here is a suggestion: How about we designate one person who is not up for any position, for example, Wren to take all the votes from everyone. Either via private message here, facebook, text message, by phone or in person for the next week. You can change your vote however many times you like but your final vote has to be in by the end of the week. She tallies the votes and gives us the results. Good bad or indifferent.
What say you all to this idea?? Not mine, stolen from Kihose btw. Give credit where credit is due!!

I'm apposed to public voting as well as having 1 person responsible for the votes.
Personally, I don't mind people knowing who I voted for, nor should anyone else mind. However, I think in order to avoid all possible conflicts the votes must stay 100% anonymous for the same reason all real elections are.
At the same time, I trust most, if not all of the members of Khador (even ones running for an office) with the responsibility of knowing who all voted for who. But for the possibility of unforeseen conflict, we shouldn't have anyone to blame for any mistakes or differing opinions as far as the election goes.
Like I said, 100% anonymous voting is the only way to go if we all agree it's better to be safe than sorry.
Of course this will make the process a bit more involved, but I think that's something we shouldn't mind dealing with if we want this election to go as smoothly as possible.
