*!* THE BATMUD COUNCIL *!* In the past the decision making has been a great part of the developer community while player ideas have often been taken into consideration during the process. One of the goals of the BatMUD council is to give a better chance for the whole community to be heard; be it players, or wizards. The BatMUD Council is a governing body that consists of members that are chosen by their peers to serve for a term of one year. The mission of the council is to help maintain and develop the game, but also keep its eyes focused on the future of the game. While the council is the decision-making body, it is not the operative body. This means that the council can make a ruling, but it doesn't have the power to force developers to do anything. The council may authorize a person or a team of developers to carry out a decision into action. *!* CURRENT TERM *!* The council started its term first of May, 2011. The term ends 30th of April, 2012 unless the council is terminated or put on hiatus as stated in the council rules. *!* CONTACTING REPRESENTATIVES *!* Any member of the BatMUD community may contact any of the representatives if he/she wishes for the council to debate on an issue. The council will debate on the issue, if at least two members of the council support it, or if the issue is supported by an archwizard or approver. The council will not debate on issues that are not within its authority such as, for example, basic maintenance. Approvers and archwizards are required to seek the approval of the council for changes that potentially have an effect on the game lasting for more than 3 months (see council rules for details). If unsure whether the change is a council issue, contact the chairman of the council and he/she will make a ruling. *!* CURRENT REPRESENTATIVES *!* Chairman: Ulath (archwizard) Members: Heidel (wizard/approver), Era (wizard/approver), Nazrix (player), Nosunrise (player), Amd (player) COUNCIL RULES See: help council rules
