Late-breaking news:

The "Laminar Organizational Model" has been discontinued by the results of a long-term study of management techniques. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

We have therefore reconsidered our original position, and come up with the following improved management responsibility path modes. Please consider this in depth:

I'm in favor of Zardoz as Dictator. He may not get what he wants but he'll get what he deserves.

@ LC:

Is the diagram/chart you suggest a limited edition, copyrighted or anything like that, because I think it says a lot. I would like to "borrow" and distribute the idea to a number of colleagues.

If this is cooked (or baked as we say - good pellet keepers that we are), may we also eat your suggestion after we mind munch?

@Narym, I'd vote for you, but I guess we are not voting over here. You will have to go to the other council for that. Anyway, ** (footed below) as far as I am concerned you're it.

Ruby (Ahvree)

**Of course I have no poohbashipmanship here. I am merely passing on information and recipes.

EDIT - one more itsy bitsy question---Is irradiated the same as microwaved?

After much thought and burning of the midnight oil, I've come up with the following proposed structure for the Guild of Guilds (see diagram). I'm sorry I was unable to incorporate the shielded umbrellas, but you'll just have to imagine them in place. We certainly wouldn't want the Council of Counsellors to be irradiated into incomprehensibility.

Note how the connections of responsibility flow very smoothly in this proposal. Each node is connected to some of the others, which prevents large concentrations of responsibility turbulence, which we all know is a bad idea. I call this the 'Aerodynamic Proposal" because of my attempt to keep the flow laminar. The nodal constructs are those of the various sub-guilds and councils.

I say we just give the job to Zardoz. He wants it. Isn't that the main qualification for politicans nowadays?

And I would say that sounds prefectly efficient to me, but the contender I speak about is not the sharpest array in the code. This contender could care less about issues like who already has the job, what dictator officially means or whether to take matters into her own useless hands.

The contender has gone to a lot of trouble to make a chart. The contender wants it too. The contender is very stubborn. D'ni or Guild history is of no importance to the contender. Thus, I believe the contender is qualified. If a a duel is necessary, the contender plans to outsource.

Don't complain to me about any of this. I agree with whatever is most efficient and least threatening.

. . . . so as you can see, having guilds is a silly idea, drummed up by . . . ah . . . who knows. Who the heck started all this anyway!

As I mentioned in one of my few and far between postings a while ago, this stuff is just to keep us busy while Cyan scrambles to get us new content. This is no longer continuing to be a game, it has morphed into something else.

The guilds will create heirarchy, there are many power-hungry players. One-up-manship, we're better than you, will be their attitude. If you're not with us, then you're against us. We will become divided.

Yeesha did say, "sides will be chosen"... "a war is coming".

(I'm really not sure how much longer I can stick with this "game".)

To Lord Chaos: Bring it on, Cookie-Boy! I will dictate your minions to dust, and pummel them with my fruitcake, which is the real location of all that missing matter you read about in the newspaper and which has evaded us for so long.

To Stevecrox: Media, schmedia. Your cleverness, however, elevates you to the Ninth Level of Poobahness: You are now Chief Scribner of the Not-So-Low Council of Grovelers.

Oh mighty Zardoz, I am ready for your tests I have studied Roberts Rules of Order backwards and sideways.

Are you dunny ravin yet, Zardoz? Some dictator you are. Yer first act is one or retribution against one of the Cavern's most popular avatars. I have at least one or two friends down there, so long as I keep handing out cookies. They won't stand for this. Prepare to storm the ramparts, folk!

And now I'm flush with success in my new endeavor, even though it was rather draining at first.

The key word in the phrase "Unelected Dictator" is Unelected, not Dictator. As soon as you get popular enough to warrant election, all the fun of being Dictator vanishes. Dictator means you never have to say you were elected.

As punishment for even suggesting this, Lord Chaos, I hereby dictate you to clean all the dunnies in D'ni. When you are dun, you will then be elected Sub-Grand Poobah of the Dunny Brigade Guild.
