It's been almost two years since the last election, which means that it is time for a new election that will define the next chapter in the Council of Elrond history. To try to get more in line with the calendar year, we are aiming to appoint the new Council around the beginning of January, 2027 (instead of a month later, like last term).
Voting will start on December 18th, 2025, and will be open for two weeks. After that, the Council for 2027-2028 will be formed.
If you believe that you have the time, energy, enthusiasm, and ideas to volunteer and serve our community, please consider nominating yourself! We need a solid group of enthusiastic individuals, because the responsibilities of the Council are many:
If you would like to be a candidate, please post a reply in this same thread telling us more about yourself, your involvement with MECCG, and your ideas for the new term. Feel free to ask any questions here or via PM. Thank you!i) Maintaining a comprehensive rules database online, which will compile all known rules, errata, and clarifications for MECCG; and maintaining an open communication channel where players can send their rules questions in order to receive an official answer from the Council.
ii) Promoting the game of MECCG, including maintaining a player directory and contact list for various nations that will be located on the forum (i.e. The Global Player List), encouraging or hosting online tournaments, and holding an in-person World Tournament once a year, alternating between the American and European continents (and when deemed appropriate, also holding a World Tournament online).
iii) Maintaining a positive environment in which community members may engage with each other and the game, including maintaining a Code of Conduct for the forum, handling any interpersonal issues or complaints, and offering similar support to other MECCG platforms not directly maintained by the Council (at the discretion of the platform’s owner(s)).
iv) Improving the future growth and enjoyment of MECCG with the production of new sets (i.e. Dream Cards), including coordinating the development and production of such sets and making them available to the community when possible.
v) Providing online hosting for official documents, actions, and news of the Council, including providing the community with a digital space for discussion.
vi) Overseeing internal Council issues and administrative tasks, including updating this Charter when necessary.
