I like everyone, but the bottom line is that we set guide lines as too attendence and activities in order to retain position.  I have not seen a posting about a vacation or other &quot;excused&quot; absence and would have to say taht those not meeting their obligations should self demote, or be demoted.  There is nothing wrong, and nobody is saying they dont like someone if they get demoted, just simply that your other obligations are keeping you from fulling the ones of the guilde.  That is perfectly understandable when this is just a game afterall.  But the facts are that others may be able to more adaquatly fill the responsiblities of the postions.  Not necessarily perform better, but simply have the time to live up to the obligations.  Most of us are on quite abit, but even myself over the last week has found it difficult to be on aas much as I would like, adn will even be missing a week in june do to my job.  If anythng, we can have elections biannually or such, givng multiple people a chance to fill the rolls of &quot;management&quot;. (an adendom of sorts)
