Councilors serve for life, until they resign, or until removed via no confidence vote by the remaining Guardians or the Misfits at Large.

His/Her function is work with the Guardians in the running of the Alliance, presiding over the Barons and can be called into voting on alliance affairs in the case of a split vote in the Assembly of Barons. The Heir can also vote on high government matters should a Guardian be away. The Heir serves at the discretion of the Guardians.

2) Barons – The Assembly of Barons are the leaders of the largest Estates. These members assist in the running of the alliance, recruitment of members, and are responsible for approving members. A 3/4 vote of the Assembly may bring any decision before the Guardians to a Vote of Advisement in the Peanut Gallery.

3) Counts – Counts are appointed by the Guardians to run any department the Guardians decides The Order of Misfits Requires. All appointments must be ratified by the Assembly of Barons.

4) Squires - Squires are the heads of single Estates of 2-10 members. A Squire is responsible for the Recruiting, Training, and Friendship Building of his/her Estate. A Squire may elect to, once his Estate is full and with the approval of the Guardians, start a second Estate and become a Baron.

5) The Peanut Gallery – The Peanut Gallery is the general membership of Misfits. They are responsible for manning their Estates, defending The Order of Misfits, voting in Votes of Advisement and working in the alliance’s departments.

IV: Expulsion

Any Misfit may at any time call apon the alliance to expel a member by submitting to the Assembly of Barons the reasons behind the expulsion. Unless the Assembly of Barons come with a unanimous Vote of Pardon the member is tried before the Peanut Gallery. 48 hours after the summons to trial have been made, to allow time for a defense, voting will open for 72 hours. 3/4s of the alliance must vote in favor of expulsion for the member to be removed.
