Change
Hey, guys.
As I'm sure all of you know, AoF's been declining lately. Things just aren't like they used to be. We all aren't nearly as active as we were before, members aren't talking as much, and we recently made the decision to let JK2 go as it will without our official presence necessarily there anymore.
Some of you might be thinking that these are signs heralding the death of the Assassins of Freedom. But I don't think so. These are signs of a new beginning. A new life, a fresh start for our group. Change. Change is what I'm here to talk to you all about. Change is needed for AoF to survive, and so change is going to happen.
Like the legend of the phoenix, we have been reborn, out of the ashes of stagnation and apathy. No longer will we be a clan of meaningless ranks that only add an extra star under forum usernames. No longer will we be a clan where four people decide who leads the whole pack. No longer will we be a clan; we will be a community of like-minded brothers.
We're getting rid of the ranks. No more Guardians, Sentinels, and Masters who don't have anything actually differentiating their ranks. All non-leading members of the community will be equals, and there will be a democratic process every four months in which a councilman is chosen by those who are currently not in a leadership position. One member of the new council will be chosen by the three-man council at the time (the council is not allowed to pick one of their own), one member will be chosen by the Mentor, and one member will be chosen by the rest of the members.
We are also putting into place a new system for those who join our community. There will be a trial process of one month for recruits - the council must unanimously make a choice on whether or not that recruit is worthy of membership before the month is up. If the council has still not made a unanimous decision after a month by calendar date, the membership vote goes to the members at large.
If a councilman is engaging in a manner unworthy of their position, they can be impeached. A member can suggest impeachment to the Mentor, or the Mentor can decide themselves that the councilman is worthy of impeachment. The requirements for impeachment are: one councilman, the mentor, and a majority of the rest of the members voting in favor of impeachment. The councilman under trial of impeachment is not allowed to vote for or against their impeachment.
The first person that this recruit process will be used on is Nick, a parent and yet the prodigal son of AoF. Congratulations, Nick. I hope you prove yourself worthy.
Council elections will begin on August 1st.
This is a new beginning for AoF, everyone. I believe that, together, we can all make this last.

Re: Change
THANKS OBAMAChange. Change is what I'm here to talk to you all about.
I didn't even notice that til now.meaningless ranks that only add an extra star under forum usernames.
Anyway, seems good. Clan will either be reborn or finally die. Let's see what happens!

Re: Change
Also... we're gonna be changing the forum too, yesz?
Methinks about the forum:
Move the several JK2-related section to some side "History" place or something (Don't delete them!)
(....AoF, Jedi Knight 2, Skins/maps/mods, Instagib, Mapping)
And also maybe make a supersection titled "Games We Play" and then put Minecraft and TOR as subsections of that (And maybe create a topic discussing whether to include a BF2 section as well, if anybody's interested in that.)
Also updated the TOR's sections description to properly capitalize TOR and also include that we have a semi-official "AoF" guild now that isn't really an AoF guild in any more than name but that's still more than the other two groups.
Also, should we scratch the KoP?
Also maybe combine "Welcome to the Brotherhood" and "The Brotherhood" and "Assassin's Bureau" into one thing

Re: Change
It's time for a change, Jk2 is rapidly diminishing unfortunately.
In order for this group of brothers to survive, grow as one, and become closer, is to expand to other games and to leave behind Jk2. I cannot wait to begin AoF's new life as a community, and I would like to announce that by next week I will be purchasing Minecraft, and I will come back to The Old Republic as well. I am excited to begin this new chapter in AoF's journey and I hope all of you are also glad to go on this ride with me!
Lets grow, expand, and let's become remembered!
