Clan:League of Guthix

The League of Guthix was created by the player "Twigs Vii" (previously r3ange) with Doomsday B. This is one of Runescape's most successful clans in that it curently has 204 members (this includes active, semi-active, inactive and retired members). The most interesting thing about this clan is that instead of being ruled by a dictator they are governed by an elected council. This clan is primarily P2P but has a few F2P members. The Clan Chat of the League of Guthix is currently "Danni Boi 5".

Twigs Vii
Twigs Vii is said to have started the first League of Guthix clan more than seven years ago in Runescape Classic. More details about this are as of yet unknown. However, Morrdyn (a friend of Twigs Vii in real life) gave an account of a past Runescape life of Twigs Vii in a battle of 60 League members against 1000 of another clan, with Twigs Vii (then r3ange) leading(with 99 Magic. Note, this was before Ancients.). The battle took place in the Wilderness at the fortress near where the Chaos Elemental is now. Using strategy, Twigs Vii and the rest of the clan defeated the larger clan.

Current League
The current League of Guthix was founded by Twigs Vii and Doomsday B in early 2008. Twigs has gradually given power and leadership to others, but she is still highly respected. At the present time, all High Druids hold equal power, which is outlined in the charter. There are also specific duties assigned to each High Druid, known as ministries.

Ranks

Clan Charter
In the intrests of maintaining order in the League, a clan Charter has been introduced.

Article I: The Charter’s Influence, Adoption, and Storage

Section I: The Charter's place.

This Charter is to be held as the highest and final law of the clan. No council or ministerial vote, action, or other act may disobey or circumvent it under normal circumstance. If, at any time after ratification, the Charter is disputed via a petition of at least fifty clan members, and such petition in held on a separate thread so as not to interfere with clan business, the current Council and Ministerial staff is bound to review and draft amendments to the clan Charter in accordance with the clans stated wishes. Any amendments must be ratified in accordance with Article I, section II.

Section II: The Charter's adoption.

To ratify this charter, it must receive 50 popular votes, two thirds of a full Council vote, and two thirds of a Ministerial vote. The popular votes are to be held on a thread separate from any regulation League thread, on the Clan Home forums. Once these requirements are met, This Charter, Charter IV replaces Charter IIV as the official Charter of the League, and everything written herein becomes effective immediately unless otherwise specified.

Section III: Storage.

This Charter is to be kept on a public thread and on the League of Guthix Wiki with easy access to the clan, and to the Runescape community at large. Backup copies are to be kept by the Minister of Records, and unofficial copies may be kept by any others who wish to keep them.

If the number does exceed ten, the person or persons with the lowest amount of both votes and seniority will be bumped. If there is still a tie and the number exceeds 10, the tiers may elect to either flip a coin, or they may decide amongst themselves who may claim the post.

For that idea I would gladly die,

So long as I may know why.

Courage.

Duty.
