Debate on principles (warrior meetings)
Verfasst: Freitag 25. Juli 2014, 11:57
This years meeting was criticized by a few people about how the decision was made where the next meeting will be held.
Zalama was raise to question if the european warrior meeting is really european due to the fact that these meetings were held pretty often in germany.
So in the german part of this forum there is a discussion about the last meeting and how we will handle this in the future.
Here are my 2 cents:
As measured by time only i think that the ride-out was a little too long. But I think in this case there were a few things that made this ride out longer than it should have been. Things such as the weather, a detour, crossing the Rhine by ferry twice, technical failures, a problem with the satnav and the loss of a small group.
I think Zal would like to have the meeting in a different country each year, but without having someone on site you can’t plan a meeting in this dimension.
A few of us were saying that they would make the participation of a meeting dependent on time, money and/or distance. So a few countries are out of the range for some of us.
The german supremacy is a problem for those from countries with lesser warrior riders. But there can’t be much more democracy like “1 rider = 1 vote”; except “one country = one vote”.
The fact that there was no room for us alone has been criticized too. I don’t have to seal myself off to have fun with my friends but if it comes to the “euro games” (like in Switzerland and England) an own area wouldn’t be bad at all.
All things considered I think we should keep the concept but we should translate the suggestion thread and put it in the English section so the not native german speaking can participate in the discussion. The ballot (if necessary) can be held at the meeting.
