Looking at this thread, one sees people trying to destroy an idea instead of changing it too what they would prefer. The council is still in its planning stages this is were you put forward your thoughts, not write the idea away because you disagree with one of the proposed features.
I believe that people should express their ideas and points even if they disagree with the whole idea. What they should not do is to keep posting disagreeing with every idea that someone puts forth, unless they are trying to help create and build it by proposing what they disagree with and what would be better.
Owww btw, I think that the council might work as an inter-guild organisation that allows guilds to better work their communications , ideas, and possably deals with each other.
What I dont think it should be is somthing that puts forth law that effects the guilds. This does not include the regulations that will probably be needed in the meetings and Council dealings.
