.WIG, just a short brief on your last post:
I think a council is a great idea. Submission to council from members who think a player is a good fit as a first step or if a player introduces themself, get feedback from members or even other squads on their opinion of player.
After that, evaluation of player, for instance other squads make them a recruit before full membership or maybe even a half recruit. Then as you said general vote on player based upon the evaluation?????
Just basically summarizing what you stated.
On a sidenote; Their baking skills-can they bake, how quickly can they bake, does it even taste good??
Marketing skills-Can they sell Mantz's shirts(He bought re-tail and is now selling wholesale), but he says it the other way around.
BBQ, I leave that in Big Tex's hand for evaluation criteria
Flying a round with Muck, Ender Hansone, some of the other greats, list too long-does he survive???
Just a few suggetions!!!
