As Role Play continues to change and flow throughout the alliance side of role play I am thinking that if there is not a gathering of guild masters there should be. This would allow us to unify our attempts to establish a creative and fun world while sorting through any disagreements. Obviously not every guild master of a role playing guild could be invited - there are some that have proven themselves beyond reasoning with.
Anyway just a thought from a small pup in the dog kernel. I would love input from the superpowers of our server (aka. kino, Kelsus, Flixle, etc.).
the idea as it stands is an once a month meeting, time wise I am not sure - it would depend on how much we need to discuss (which would probably vary based on the numbers of members along with their overall ambitions). And what we are establishing is a coalition to try and develop organized and well thought out role play. As a body we could handle any nut jobs that try and bully their way around and discuss any grievances between groups with the rest of the GM's acting as a third party mediation.
And whereas this server does offer that means, the gathering would be further structured and limited in that it would only be the GM's. Basically the GM's represent their guilds interests and try to work together to see those interests come to fruition.
One note of caution is that efforts like these are often great by concept and good intentions, but fraught with ego or vague purpose. Pulling together GMs and creative minds is a great idea, but without clear goals in mind, it tends to stumble early on.
Finally, including some GMs and excluding others can create OOC drama, as Alysdair recounted with the Alliance Vanguard effort from months ago.
So have a few goals in mind for the first meeting, and lay down the ground rules early to keep egos in their cages. It seems you already have a few (rotating mediator, etc), so some more brainstorming is needed to give this idea more solid execution.

Kayonie, don't take either my input or Hotfix's as harsh. Text tends to remove tone from the equation - I personally do not like to see good ideas flounder when they go live. Ideals are fantastic, but always go through a bumpy growth process as they are applied to reality.
G'luck, and if you any questions about some of the things I've expressed, please don't hesitate to contact me via the ERN or ingame.

No, no. That's not my intention at all, and I apologize if I sound off in tone. I'm just trying to throw out ideas and develop goals. Brainstorming, I guess, to see where everyone wants to go with this.
