Are you a leader? Reformer? Idealist? Do you have great ideas and want to share them with the Arke administration, or perhaps get involved with the politics of Arke?
If you answered yes to some of the questions above, consider trying for a Senator position in the Chamber of Affairs.
Senators in the Chamber of Affairs participate in regular meetings with the Chamber administration and assist in creating and discussing Arke legislation governing the entirety of the group. This is an open opportunity for talented non-combat oriented leaders and speakers to step forth and take the spotlight.
Here's what you need to do in order to be selected... - Join Chamber of Affairs: http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=1182768 - Be in Arke (of course): http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=1100570 - Send Unclear a PM titled "Arke CoA First Generation Senator". Anything else will be promptly ignored by me. - In the body of the PM, include a few sentences stating what you can bring to Arke as a politician. - If you have any experience as a member of other clan administrations, feel free to list them. - If you have any specific anecdotes of reforms you have attempted in other clans, feel free to list them.
Favored candidates will be selected based upon experience and potential. Members at any rank in Arke are allowed to apply for a Senator position.
Our first meeting will be on Sunday, at 2 PM EST, and will be covering many topics as well as introducing major changes. More information about the meeting will be posted soon in the division shout. See you there, prospective Senators.
- Unclear, Archduke of Arke |

| So what? He is apparently named after a roman senator? FEAR is named after a video game. It does not matter. |

I'm not laughing because I think the name or idea is stupid.
I'm laughing because it's going to be a corrupt infighting dysfunctional committee that holds relatively little to no power in the clan as a whole, just like everybody else's senate. :P
I had a senate myself in my empire. It was a fucntional, to an extent. It takes 24-7 super vision, & a true iron fist.
There's just really no true iron fists around on roblox anymore. That's my point.^ |

I'll be managing it.
CoA is my domain and I plan to state expectations and set how things are going to work as soon as possible.
Things decided within CoA WILL be implemented after thorough planning, discussion, and voting.
Senators+ will be held to a reasonably high standard as they're expected to be mature, intellectual individuals who care about the group and truly wish to implement new ideas in order to further improve the group and our community as a whole. |

Lol. Good luck with that. It's really more of a hassle than it's worth, because they don't actually have any real power. You just have it for outward appearance for the clan, & you end up spending more time & resources needlessly policing unruly under aged children on this game than you need too.
That's why I got rid of my Senate.
Also P.S., if Arke plans on having a military heirarchy/cast, then you're in for even more of a surprise.... ;) xD |

@E981
You seem to forget that we hand pick the Senators based off of applications they send to us as well as their behavior and observable intellect. If they prove to be moronic or childish they will be promptly removed.
A lot of the time in Internal Affairs we look for suggestions, for new things to do in order to make the clan better. Having more minds thinking of these things increases productivity, and also increases the amount of valuable feedback on things that we may want discussed with an intellectual body.
There's no downside to the existence of the Chamber of Affairs, as I consider it to be a productive use of my time. |

There currently isn't a limit. There's still two more ranks above Senator that will be filled based off of observing Senators and how they do.
There'll be plenty of room and I doubt we'll ever get to a point where we're going to need to limit the amount of Senators+. This is mainly due to the fact that we manually accept those who we believe to be acceptable for the position and observe them to make sure we made the right choice. |

I think you, seem to forget that I handpick all of mine as well. In fact, I had the most efficient policing system for any clan or group in all of roblox, you need to have that in order to make sure not only 200/200 members all have primaries set to our group, but hats, clothes, no tshirts, blurbs, & profile thumbnail pictures. That's not counting the 96/100 senators we had to police as well..
I mean you may as well get a desk job as someone's clerk at some big corporation or something, rather than doing this, because it's literally a monotonous desk job that nobody really even wants to do..
Believe me, until roblox adds some kind of a democratic group feature where they all share actual power, it's all just for face value really, everybody's authority can be usurped save for the actual owner of the group.. :P
Simply put you'd be hard pressed to police a large number of people accurately, so they know the laws front & back & still maintain some sort of a civil order without people leaving or in fighting or what have you.. :P |
