Okay, it's April 26th and do you know where your rulebook revisions are?
Our Kingdom Rules Rep is Tolken Sistar, so please direct your proposals and ideas for your specific class to him or on this board for communal discussion. Please be considerate and don't banter Tolken, he's only a messenger, not the executor of any of these changes.
Post ideas that are mature and practical. Don't be a tard and post how you think barbarians should be able to carry 15 stoneskins. You know the drill.
The last day for anything to be proposed by our rules rep is the last day of June. That's June 30th. A month and a few days away.
Tolken, is is true that this iis the year the vote at clan is in regards to actual changes and clarifications to the rulebook and that next year it will only be clarifications only.
So speak up kiddies, cause June and Clan will be here before you know it and you'll have another whole year to bitch and whine about how nothing ever changes in your favor. Wanna do something about it? Speak your mind here and now and let's get something done!
Info for Clan XXIV July 19-23:

Rules Revision Process
http://amtgardinc.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/index.php
1) Each Kingdom must elect/appoint a representative. The manner in which this is done is left up to the individual Kingdom.
A) The representative (rep/s) will be the only person allowed to access the boards on Amtgardinc.com to discuss or suggest rule changes/clarifications. (Bulletin boards will be set up at Amtgardinc.com that will be used to post, discuss, and collate requested rule changes. These boards will be open to the public (read-only) to allow for the process to be visible to all members of Amtgard and to promote a more diverse
discussion of these changes on Kingdom lists.)
B) The representative position is an open-ended appointment (The appointment can be ended by either party, Monarch or rep at any time.). This is to allow for consistency amongst the reps.
C) The reps can be removed from the position at any time by the current Monarch of their Kingdom. (This is to allow for the removal of a rep that does not meet the Kingdom standards.)
D) The rep answers directly to their Kingdom Monarch
E) The representative must be a current member of the Kingdom in which he/she is to serve.
F) The main duty of the rep is to poll their Kingdom for rule changes and clarifications then bring them to the boards. Each rep must remain in contact with the Monarchy and Populace in order to promote the Kingdom's rule agenda.
G) The reps have the discretionary right to discard changes that are obviously inappropriate.
H) The reps will discuss the changes on the board to help clarify and clean up the wording and intention of the changes.
I) The reps must transfer any rule changes from the discussion boards to the final request board before the last day in June, in voting years. (Clarifications must be transferred by the last day of June every year.) Any transfers after the date will be null and void for the current voting year.
2) Rule changes will be voted upon and enacted every two years. (The first year of this process will be at the Gathering of the Clans 2006.)
3) Clarifications will be voted upon every year. Clarifications for non-rule voting years will be printed out on an errata sheet (not a supplement) that will be supplied with the rulebook. These clarifications will be edited into the main rulebook on the following year when rule changes are edited.
4) A representative of Amtgard Inc. will compile the finalized list of change/clarifications (without any changes) and will supply copies for the official vote. Each Kingdom's rep will post the finalized list on their Kingdom's list.
5) The vote will be held at the Gathering of the Clans, during the Monarch's meeting.
6) Only Monarchs may cast a vote at the meeting unless a representative (a representative of the Kingdom not necessarily the rules representatitve, although the rules representative is eligible for this duty.) has been appointed by them, in writing, before the meeting. (It is in every Kingdom's best interest to have a representative of their land with a list of votes at this meeting.)
7) Only the items on the finalized list will be voted upon. Absolutely no rules or clarifications will be accepted on site for change.
Each item on the finalized list will be voted upon with a 75% majority of the assembled Monarchs (representatives of the Kingdom) required for it to pass.
9) Passed items are then compiled for entry into the rulebook (or errata sheet for clarifications on non-rule years.).
10) All rule changes and clarifications are effective one month from the date of the meeting. Errata sheets and edits will be posted at amtgardinc.com by this date.
