The Elder Cave

[Don Alexander]

Ok, I vouch for (if not jester) than the title of Exhuberant High Messiah, Spiritual Relief of the Elder Council.

This would open a job position for physical relief... :oops: :lol:

But the Exhuberant High Messiah sound good to me.

[Bear]

Seems my position as Grand High Smart Alec is being cemented! :mrgreen:
Also, I will henceforth proudly update my sig... :mrgreen: Other Grand Council members are suggested to do the same.
Ooooh, Burning Pitchforks of Office!!! I can haz? *takes pitchforks, breaks off all but the outer two tongs* Mwuahaha!! Burning Pitchfork of Evil Eye Doom!!! My new favorite LART!

Okay, so the title sticks. At least until we get someone challenging for the title... To the jelly pit! And careful with that burning pitchfork. No poking out peoples eyes until after they've submitted to our evil dictatorship.. erm.. I mean Wise Rule.

Excellent choice. But "guard of the cave" sounds too lowly. I submit DnE for the position of Lord Marshall of the Guardians of the Elder Cave. And I'd say that's a Grand Council position.
Welcome in DnE! We've got a set of Robes and Burning Pitchfork for you somewhere! Until someone thinks of a better title for you, We'll call you the Offical Precog of Evil Thought!

Okay Approved. And we'll give him both titles... Or just the first one and a special hat.

One really has to laud the audacity. I mean, not even any text. Genius move.
Now, don't start getting soft, Bear!! Remeber the "vile" in your title! I mean, notwithstanding that I agree with you to let ND in, soon we'll have all cute girls of the board (that is, all) posting pics of chocolate bars instead of pics of themselves...

Special dispensation approved for effective and creative bribary. I'm not being soft, I'm rewarding addaptive genius... and chocolate *Stamps molten chocolate paw print on Nathan's approval form*

What's the post-requirement...I suspect I'm reaching it quite fast at the moment. I've only been here a few days.
Anyhow, I'd have vouched for you regardless of post number. ;) But since Bear has suggested 50 (or special dispensation), you qualify easily. Hm, we do also need some ladies on the Grand Council...
I think everyone above 200 posts is elligable for the Grand Council... though we'll have special dispensations for possitions only certain people can fill. (That and Dave will get stropey since his post counts only 41).
Which Dave? Our dear Mod? He actually has... 51! Anyhow, Mods pass through walls, we could hardly keep him out.

Okay, order of business.
Part one: Just by post counts and not counting Giz, the Grand Council would be four people. I deem that too low. Considering this board has almost 500 users, I'd say a number of 10 is good for starters.
Part two: 10 can't be filled by posts right now if 200 is the limit. So special dispensations are needed. Aish and DnE just got one, and though he has not looked in yet, I said right from the start that the Elder Cave can't bear :roll: its name without an Elder Geek, so Retiarius automatically qualifies. And I think oni should also be let in.
Part three: On the other hand, the 200 limit is not something to be set for all time. Assuming (hoping) that Giz and Dave continue this comic, and thus this board, for a long time yet, there will come a time when a lot of people have reached the 200. So it must be some kind of scaled limit.
Part four: What's open for debate is if the Grand Council is a set set of people to be determined now and in the near future and then frozen. As an elderocracy, we are vile, narcissistic creatures. At the very least, once you have been inducted into the Grand Council, you should hold a title for life (of the board). To think a bit in RL dimensions, though, it may be that GC members wish to leave the council one day (e.g., they have better things to do than post on a board of a web-comic all the time ;) ). In such a case, my suggestion is that they submit a proposal to who their heir should be. But beside that, at least in my opinion, we should finalize the council soon. We who were there at the beginning will always be we who were there at the beginning, no matter who comes later...

Okay, since all this is actually lumped together technically... Just to clear some things up here we go.
Currently, anyone over 200 posts can qualify for the Grand Council, unless you've got a good appeal so we can award special dispensation.
Just getting through the door... well I'll drop that to be nice while we've still a large number of people with less then 100 posts.
Well addjust the post limits as we see fit in time to come on the suggested sliding scale. And anyone who tries spamming will be subjected to endless Barney re-runs.
And that was a cunning typo to try and lure Dave out of hiding and get him to post more.
I'd say 10's a good number. Though maybe 9 or 11 so we've a casting vote in any disputes.Everyone will want an executive veto otherwise. *Keeps mine just because this is a dictatoriship and not a democracy*.
Aish, DnE, Retarius are all in. Geek points and forum infamy will count towards being recognised and honoured.
And yes, founding concil members will be rewarded with titles for life. Any new inductees in future will either have to fight for one, or apply for a new possition.

Hey, that party's coming up!! Need to start planning.
Okay, we were thinking of the same guy. :lol:
Yes, quite possible. Doesn't matter. I'm easily of legal age.
Ooooh, scandalous. Soon to be seen on the front page of the "Cave Network".

Well we've got just over a month to plan and start the party.
Yes, yes we were. lol.
Well just have to make sure no-one else is drinking the Baileys underage... we are a caring Dictorial Overlord afterall.
Hey.. got to get our funding somewhere

midgetshrimp also needs one. Do we make him our messiah? I mean, "Pirate Jesus" has kinda gotten stuck. Not to mention we recently found "Ninja Jesus, The Fallen One".
Ok, I vouch for (if not jester) than the title of Exhuberant High Messiah, Spiritual Relief of the Elder Council.

That works... Its that or "High Captain Messiah".

Concerning Arantor... Hm... Okay, I'm for letting him in.

Well we can't not let him in and be short a Grand Scribe to chronicle our exploits.

Where is the person that handles the bets, If there is some wrestling i wanna bet some money

[Bear]

Hmm.. do we need a Grand High Official Bookie?

[Dirty n Evil]

I accept the posting as the Lord Marshall of the Guardians of the Elder Cave, and bow to the truism of being the Precognative of Evil Thought. :twisted:

As Lord Marshall, I promise to ask any non-recognized member the secret handshake (changing it every time), ask them to show me the secret membership decoder ring (of which I'll be the loner possesser of one), and should they try and force their way in... play this music while they are forced away.

... and any spare change I find in their pockets afterwards can go towards the treasury. ;)

[midgetshrimp]

Needs the word Exuberant. Exuberant High Captain Messiah works for me, and thus shall I be.

[Arantor]

Am I a Grand Scribe now? I'm just a Regular Scribe.

I lay 6 to 1 odds that three of the spectators get off before the end of the second round.

[Bear]

Well thats DnE and Midgetshrimp happy with their new titles and jobs. Now we just need Pneu's title still.

Ohh.. and I bet two bottles of Baileys on the newcommer.

Am I a Grand Scribe now? I'm just a Regular Scribe.

Feel free to invent your own title, but we'll consider you the Grand Scribe

Chocolate, jelly, hrm, whu???...

*peeks in*

[Asaryu]

I'm still not sure if I'm in yet.

*rifles through her photo archives*

I'm sure I can find a suitably salacious pictogram to bribe my way in if neccesary...but I'd prefer to get in on merit.

Depends on which "in" you mean...

From your post number alone, you are clearly awarded Elder Cave status.

But, hm, to become Grand Council member... And on merit alone... :roll:
