I would like to explain how and why things work in the dominion.
We have a group of 8 active members and 2 inactive members and one we don/t know were he stands. The voting member's come from a wide range of experience and thought processes. We also have a number of pages and squires that come from most units. I can think of three that do not have one. On never wanted one. Another had one but she turned in here page tippit, and the other honestly has never shown much intrest in running a realm. I believe we have a good cross section of people from the dominion.I do not believe we are clique based. Me and gump don't take long hot showers together,but he is on the council. Faraday and I have a our fair share of differences yet she sits on the council. Lady christabel is my cousin twice and she votes how here concience dictates.Every member of the council has a say and if having over a 50 percent attendance has a vote. Some times you win and some times you lose but the council has made the decision. Some times we will revisit something a few months later and we will admit we were wrong. Many time I will be in a council meeting and some one will come up with an idea and I will hit my self in the head for not thinking of it. We have a administrater that can make a decision on the spot till the council can meet to make the final decision. If the administrater is not there the assistant admin can make that decision. You get on the council thru years of service. Service will lead to experience and knowlege. That is why we have the squire and page system. The dominion started with 5 members. Aster,mystic,christabel,dolan and rhyss. Four are still active. Rhyss has recently returned and I don't know what his disires are. Gump was a well established knight in KCD when I started in dagorhir 8 years ago.
These are the people that have decided to step up and make things happen. Water makes it to battle. Port a potties are at an event. Weapons are safe. We go out to the stewarts and clear the land. Not just for our units site, not our realms site but every site. A huge amount of effort goes in to running a realm that a lot of peple don't realize. I would love it if people did all this spontaniously, but they don't.
Any group/realm/unit that says they don't have politics is lieing to you. There has been politics since the dawn of the human race. There will be for ever. The drama always comes with a large group of people that spend a lot of time together. Look at you family, school mates, church members. Drama is life.
We in the Dominion have more drama than most and I don't know what to do about it. I know ever realm goes thru challenges and we so far have over come them as a realm. I never in a million years would have thought the dominion would be as sucessful as it has been. We host the 3 and 4th biggest events in all dag. We ran weapons check two years in row at rag. If you would have told me 8 years ago that all of this would have happen I would have laughted in your face. We have meet every challenge head on so far, so I guess we will have to decide if we are going to meet this challenge also. Any way those are my thoughts and only my thought I don't speak for anyone but myself. I just wanted to shed a little light on how and why we do things. I edits it in places several times so it is a little disorganized but I believe you will get the gist of what I am saying. Aster
