Is the UN a way to reduce GM workload or a GM enforced Mafia? [Green]

[Trippy]

I'll preface this by saying I fully support the existence of the UN, and I don't believe it is a Mafia, but got worried when reading the quote further on in this post.

It is sensible to have dialogue between guilds and to have an agreed upon framework to work within that reduce stress and workload on the long suffering, unpaid, staff (i.e. the GMs) that very kindly give their time to help us play on this server together.

What I have been seeing on the UN discord recently seems to indicate that server rules do not apply if enough guilds on the server say that it is so.

Lineage, as many of you will know, left the UN a month or two ago. We did this for various reasons that have not been well communicated to others, a good chunk of the blame for that goes on our guild leader Maibbin. He is good at leading raids, he is good at inspiring a whole group of people to go at things as one, he is good at EQ the game.... He is not good at diplomacy, he is not good at negotiating, he is not good at not pissing people off.

We [the guild] have asked he take a step back from speaking on our behalf, we love him, we appreciate him, we want him as a leader in many ways... but we do not want things he says at heated moments defining us as a guild. He understands this and has agreed.

We've had other people attempting to negotiate for us for sky rotations in the UN, they have been met with statements like this:

I am going to ask the GM to enforce whatever rotation the UN comes up with so you can't muck it up.

I guess my question here is, in this instance a representative (former guild leader) of the top guild on the server - Seal Team - an there's no debate there, I appreciate you guys are VERY good at this game, you are dominating things due to your dedication, understanding of mechanics and cleverly using every aspect of that to your advantage [this is not sarcastic I respect what you do].

What I do take exception to is the notion that GMs will enforce the rotation that you have defined, and if people go against it there will be GM consequences?!

Is this classic Everquest or not? You play on p99 but you seem to want the equivalent of instanced content when it suits you.
