Council Members Thread II

[Xen155]

Welcome to the Council Member Thread II. I thought it would be nice to have a place to discuss Rules, Propostions made by Council Members or Members, and provide the Council Members a place to vote on something. Discussion can and should be held by the Council Members and the Members of the GMF.

Game Master Foundation Mission and Vision Statements

Although not a Council Member I would like if we could to Open up Discussion About the GMF Mission and Vision Statements. The reason I wish to officially open this discussion is due to the fact that we seem to be forward to, what we all hope to be, great things. I would like to assure that we do not become blinded by too much ambition and not enough direction. Its all fine and well for us to have a great Webpage and our own great Forums, although if created for the wrong reasons, or put together in a way that detracts from the Foundations purpose then it may very well all be for naught. I would hate to see any amount of hard work by any of us go to waste.

Cataverie, you're kind of a probationary council member.. By our own rules, we need an odd number of councilors to break ties. That's what the vote in the original Council thread was for. The only reason that you aren't a full councilor is that we don't have enough people for it to be worth it. Once our membership is a little larger, you're officially on the council, per our vote. So feel free to participate in council discussions. Well, everyone can participate, you're actually actively encouraged to.

Mission Statement

The Game Master Foundation is an oasis in the Role Playing Game community for all Game Masters
to discuss, practice, and share the ideas of their games
with the most recognized and passionate individuals of the hobby - other Game Masters.

The mission of the GMF is to help and promote the talents of creator, writer, storyteller, rules master, judge, and leader. To have the passion to develop and maintain such diverse talents requires a rare spirit that burns bright. A bright light that is willing to assume the labor of love of becoming a Game Master. The Game Master Foundation recognizes and promotes that spirit.​

This is the official Mission statement of the GMF drawn up by NightCloak (dont have the date) and agreed upon in council. If you want a revision just propose a vote to do so. (I will consider Cat a CM for this purpose.)

I noticed that I still have that proposition on hold and will fix that imediatly, my mistake.
