Guild Leadership Philosophy Risen Anarchy believes in the 'Bundle of Sticks' philosphy when it comes to the leadership of the guild. The guild will be managed by a council of officers and not by a sole GM. The 'Bundle of Sticks' philosophy signifies unity, it comes from an old asian story as follows: Once upon a time, a father and his family of Sons lived in a village. The sons were forever quarreling among themselves, never paying heed to whatever their father said. Tired of this daily tension, he decided to taught his sons a lifetime lesson. He cast about in his mind for some very striking example that should make them see that discord would lead them to misfortune. One day when the quarreling had been much more violent than usual and each of the Sons was moping in a surly manner, he asked one of them to bring him a bundle of sticks. Then handing
the bundle to each of his Sons in turn he told them to try to break it. But although each one tried his best, none was able to
do so. The Father then untied the bundle and gave the sticks to his Sons to break one by one. This they did very easily. “My Sons,” said the Father, “do you not see how certain it is that if you agree with each other and help each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure you? But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be no stronger than a single stick in that bundle.” The sons realized their mistake and got reunited.
