[center][h2]✧ DAY 10 - Central Square of Genesis City - 11AM ✧[/h2] 6/25/2076[/center] [center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_YRkX9yBDQ[/youtube] [img]https://i.imgur.com/3UNYek1.jpg[/img][/center] [b][color=lightgreen]"I understand your concern Reylan, I'm sure this is something that's been on many minds since this meeting has started."[/color][/b] Aramo looked at Reylan with a raised eyebrow. [b][color=lightgreen]"But the matter of the truth is... we must start somewhere. We do not have many conveniences of the real world, such as computing power, established bureaucracy or easy mass communication. Here we stand, with what I assume to be the vast majority of the remaining player population, with about a third of us represented properly in the form of Guildmasters who have been voting. If you can tell me how we can better process such large population's will before we set up anything... please do let me know."[/color][/b] Aramo tapped his fingers on the table, with seemingly slight impatience. [b][color=lightgreen]"I'm sure you can understand that it would be rather unrealistic to go ahead and obtain 9000+ individual opinions within a reasonable span of time. And how will those opinions be accounted for? Who will be trusted and be held responsible to undertake such an important task? Lastly, the longer we delay setting up a structure for ourselves, more likely it is that less informed and less fortunate players will meet their end due to poor skills and lack of information. And I for one think it would be foolish to lose any more of us when it is perfectly preventable."[/color][/b] A murmur of consent rose up from the group gathered on the podium. A few nodded approvingly while others stood still, contemplating the points of both sides. A player dressed in blue robes, rather than armor, rose up from her chair.

There are several options I could think of at the moment but it would have to depend on how we wish to set ourselves up. Most feasible way would be... well this is going to sound awful but to pay tax of sorts."[/color][/b] A wave of sighs and jeers rose out from the square. [b][color=lightblue]"Like I said, this would depend on how we decide to make this happen. It's unlikely that The Council will start forcing tributes from unwilling players all of a sudden... am I right Aramo?"[/color][/b] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/l5Gc6Cn.jpg?2[/img][/center] [b][color=lightgreen]"Of course."[/color][/b] Aramo waved his hand in an act of assurance. [b][color=lightgreen]"We must remember we are all doing this to help each other and for ourselves. Afterall, survival in this game should be our ultimate goal at all times. Everyone in this square can rest assured that all of us up here are in the exact same situation as everyone else and we do not wish to create any trouble among ourselves when we have safety in numbers."[/color][/b] Aramo took a moment to swallow. He continued a second later. [b][color=lightgreen]"As for Reylan's final question... I would like to say it's a decision that should be made later. It has been barely more than a week since being stuck in Talrae. We've lost more than a hundred of us to what seems like actual death and it is likely that there are many of us still who are confused, terrified and generally not adjusting to our new lives yet."[/color][/b] Aramo sat back down after finishing his last comment. [b][color=lightgreen]"We'll elect on a leader when we need one. Until then, I believe this collective gathering of Guildmasters is a good start. As stated earlier for non-Guild players, please do select a delegate among yourselves and send them to our next meeting on Day 20. As Reylan has pointed out earlier, it would only be proper to hear representation from all players remaining in this game."[/color][/b]
