As mentioned earlier, the tribes system as envisioned now would be roughly like this:
1) Manual signup process that must be approved by admin (almost all other tribe/clan-type ladders do this).
2) Tribe admins have sole authority to administer the tribe (add players, drop players, report matches, confirm matches)
3) All Tribe members in the involved tribes may post game comments about a tribe match
4) There will be stringent penalties for inactivity and stalling. What has been suggested is an inactivity penalty as well as an automatic loss penalty for tribes who are unresponsive or otherwise stalling in a tribe match
This is the simple outline of the tribes system. Clean and functional with minimal fluff.
Some issues open for debate include the max number of players allowed in a tribe, scoring/ranking system for tribes, and operational procedures in relation to dispute resolution and arbitration. I am sure there are many other issues that need discussing, please feel free to bring up new avenues of discussion as you see fit.
I encourage those of you interested in a tribes ladder to participate in discussing these issues.
