Purpose:
To provide a means for those countries, uninitiated in the Security Council, a means by which their goals could be accomplished with the expert help of known proposal authors in a professional and legal manner.

Abstract:
Due to a recent rash of locked threads, poorly written proposal that did not get off the ground, and situations requiring speed and a measured hand of a diplomat that never had the chance to get support; I have decided to try to build a guild of seasoned SC authors together to provide a drafting service for those less skilled at the art. This way, those nations in need and, inexperienced in the SC, can push forward an agenda with a little authorship help or get one of those timely Liberations passed. It is with this intention that I form this guild.

Here is how it will work.

At first, only those nations with a successful resolution to their name will be allowed as a member of the guild as this is the only way to gauge a successful author. (In the future I hope to include those nations whom have successfully gotten a proposal to quorum.) Nations petitioning authorship help will post a short description of the situation in which they believe SC intervention is necessary. Post only once and all information should be given in one post (use the edit button). All work taken on by guild members will be pro-bono and will be accepted by one and only one author. A guild member need never feel obligated to take on a project with which they feel they are not aligned, nor should a guild member attempt to sabotage or delay a proposal that they oppose by accepting work on said proposal. Once an author has been named to a cause (by claiming it first in this forum) they will work to accomplish that proposal until completion while other free authors take on other projects. At which time the guild member will draft a proposal using the information the petitioning nation provided. If a nation wishes to request a specific author based on their skills, resume, or particular writing style then that author will be given precedence by the other guild members for a duration of one week. If the work remains unclaimed after one week another author can begin work on the project is he/she wishes. (Be careful though, as your cause may well be forgotten if you request an author that is busy or unresponsive to your cause.) After the proposal is drafted it will be posted in the same post that claimed the project for the author for the petitioner's approval (The approval will be accomplished via telegram). Once approved, the proposal can either be entered into a discussion thread or immediately proposed based on the petitioning nation's judgment. When submitted, the guild author will be the one to submit the proposal. This is not a service to provide greedy nations with shiny badges. As all authors here have already earned at least one it is most likely a moot point to them. This service is for those with a cause they believe in and a need of expert help and we will not be abused! If a petitioning nation has a sizable amount of input or work in the proposal the author can choose to let the petitioning nation submit the proposal or simply add them to a co-author's line in the proposal. Guild authors who abuse this in order to get their friends or their puppets shiny badges shall be excluded from the guild. Now the guild has fulfilled duty to a petitioner and it is up to the petitioner to make sure the proposal reaches quorum with reasoned argument and a just cause.

Things to remember:

• This is not a discussion forum! Please do not post you opinions about drafts, or the guild, or anything else here. This is for petitons only.
• Under no circumstances is the guild or any member required to write a proposal for you just because you submit a petition for one. The authors have the right (and duty) to pick and choose only those causes that appear to have merit and substance. Furthermore they have the right to decline to work on proposals that they are opposed to.
• We are not going to be responsible for getting your proposal passed. That is the job of the petitioner or other nations associated with the cause. This does not preclude a guild member from getting involved or even leading in the debate or canvassing of delegates if he or she believes in the cause.
• There will be no attempt to recruit authors. This guild is an entirely volunteer organization and members should look at it with the same regards. Although there may be some choice candidates existing in the Security Council, it is their choice as to whether or not they wish to become a guild author.
• If you wish to become a guild author you must first have proven yourself by passing a resolution in the Security Council (It doesn't matter if it was repealed). Secondly you should then telegram me with your intention to join and I will display your membership and resume of successful resolutions in the next post.
• Guild members must be a member and also author proposals with the nation that had successfully passed a resolution. We are not here to get your puppet nations shiny badges.
• If you wish to become a guild author you [b]must[b] be willing to receive telegrams from other nations. Please don't abuse the right to telegram our authors.
• If you have not received a response to your petition after a few days,( or a week in the case of a specially requested author) you can assume that no author is willing or available to draft you a proposal. Don’t take this personally. In this case please try editing your petition. DO NOT REPOST! Simply notify one of us that you have updated it and wait for a response. Please do not spam guild members with repeated telegrams.
• Any attempt to use a draft or proposal of one of the guild authors in whole or in part, without their explicit knowledge and permission shall be deemed by this guild as plagiarism.
  
• If you want a SC resolution author badge, write your own proposal. Any proposal drafted by our authors will be submitted by that author.
• Petitioners, please take this seriously. Do not feed us false information to place in the proposals. It is your responsibility to do your own research. We lend our good name and reputation to these proposals. Please do not sully our good name with misinformation.
• Remember we are providing a service to you out of the kindness of our hearts. Please do not abuse our help, speak disparagingly to us. We will simply not help you if you if you are not respectful.

Now, how can we help you.
