What is the Yautja Council?
The Yautja Council, also referred to as the Predator Council, are predator whitelisted players who desire to help improve, expand, and regulate the Predator whitelist. These council members are often veterans of the Predator role and well respected and trusted within their whitelist communities.
How do I join the Yautja Council?
All members of the Yautja Council are voted up by the Predator community with all Predator players being eligible to run*. If a current council member is removed or steps down, a vote will be held to replace them. Three times a year there will be re-elections for the council, January 1st, May 1st, and September 1st. This will be the communities’ chance to vote people out or new people into the council. The previous council members can run for re-election in following terms. A person is not allowed to serve on the council for more than fifty years total.
*The Head Manager (Emerald Blood) oversees whitelists and has the right the deny anyone the ability to run for any given reason should she have doubts about the player’s ability to fulfill the Yautja Council requirements.
What does the Yautja Council do?
- Be active within the Predator community. The Yautja Council members are both representatives and leaders of the whitelisted people. They are in charge of communicating with, organizing, and assisting their whitelist members in-game, on the forums, and on discord.
- Assist updates for the Honor Code and the Predator role. The council is collectively in charge of making updates to the Predator role. They help bring improvements to current features and expansion ideas for the role. These changes are brought to the Head Manager and move forward from there.
- Evaluate Predator whitelist applications. The Yautja Council members assess open Predator whitelist applications to give their final verdict on. While council votes do have a heavy impact for an application, community feedback is an important factor in getting an application accepted/denied. The Head Manager will resolve all whitelist applications once voting has concluded, going off the council votes and community feedback, but does hold the ability to override the majority should she have concerns with a specific member.
- Special in-game Predator rank and influences. [This section is currently in development] All Yautja Council members get access to the Leader title in-game (normal whitelist title is Young Blood). Leaders are in charge of overseeing the on-going hunt with their student Young Bloods. While currently, Leader is still in the works, the goal is for them to be able to tie the predator players together by enhancing RP and allowing them the abilities to greatly change how a round will play out for current Young Bloods in-game.
- Holding a leadership position in the community. Being that council members are voted up by the community themselves, they’re a respected group focused on making their whitelist better for the community and themselves. Being a council member puts you in a position to help make ideas and changes, that you and the community want, a reality.
- Private channel access to contact CM-SS13 staff and other council members. All council members are given access to a private discord channel to be able to speak directly with important CM-SS13 staff to help improve the role. This includes head/management staff and devs.
- You can not currently be part of another Whitelist council.
- Discord and being part of the CM-SS13 Discord server is a requirement, as you need to be in communication with your fellow council members and the Head Manager.
- You must be active within the community. It’s understanding that life will happen and should you be busy or need to leave for a few weeks, make sure to inform the Head Manager. Long periods of unaccounted inactivity (few weeks) will lead to you being removed from the council.
- You must actively do council activities. These are being active in council discussions, which is self-explanatory, and review and vote on your whitelist’s open applications. Whitelist voting works as follows for council members:
o All applications require a majority vote from the council members before it can be resolved. No-effort or meme applications don’t require votes and will be denied on-the-spot by the Head Manager.
o Once a whitelist has the required number of council votes and adequate community review, ping the Head Manager a list of the applications ready to be resolved over Discord. A pinned message informs you of the format to use.
