Zysha's Current Position on Southend Dunes Farm Op
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 5:21 pm
As some of you are aware, Eleytheria guild has split and those who formed Sanctuary have declared on the op I passed on to Eleytheria, ie it is an Eley v Eley battle. I have received tells asking for my position on this and to head off more and also to make my position public am posting here.
The history:
Southend Dunes Farm was taken at launch by Crescent Moon guild and handed on to me by Mialee who regarded that I could use it to benefit the community. I held the op for several months during which I rostered its output to groups and individuals who had been excluded from op ownership for a variety of reasons. When I was attacked in pr I wanted the freedom to log out and never come back at a second's notice and handed the op on to Eleytheria.
Two agreements were made at the time of transfer. One was that the distribution program would continue, albeit in a more limited form as I was giving away more than 6 days output per week and Eley had some 30 members and would need to dedicate time to doing the work of distributing. The second agreement was that the op would be returned to me whenever I so wished. These undertakings were given by Avila in her role as guild leader.
The present:
The Sanctuary members of Eley have declared on the remaining Eley members and I have received tells from both groups offering to continue the distribution program should they be the op owners. There is also a 3rd party with interest in owning the op unrelated to Eleytheria.
My position:
I want the op to be a source of at least something that have nots don't have to work for haves to get. I also want the process of distribution to be public and accountable, ie x amount will be given away according to y guidelines.
I have told both factions of Eley that they need to firstly work out what they as a guild want for themselves as it may be they wish to not continue the distribution efforts at all. I have also suggested that they post their resultant policies re: distribution should they choose to pursue that course.
My personal bottom line is I don't care who owns it, even those who attacked me in pr can own it and I am happy so long as a significant percentage of the op's output goes to have nots. So I'm in wait and see what each offers to the community mode atm.
