3. Link the entry on Other Lancaster Positions from the list here.

Try not to add frivolous positions, and avoid Shameless Egotism

== Definition of a Position diverse and poorly defined. Thus, people have indiifferent ideas about how they should be defined.

What I've written here is a combination of my own opinion and thoseiof people I know who have some authority on the subject. That said, it's not a perfect definition, so there's definitely room for additions/improvement.

If you want to change the description, I recommend talking about it here first. That's what we have discussion pages for.

Hola!!! As it was explained to me during the creation of Documentator Session One, the process of creating a new position is this: 1. Propose to members of current Trinity and Jester and the Trinity and Jester of the previous year. 2. Make a case (e.g. why this position is needed, responsibilities, etc.) 3. A debate and subsequent vote is held. After all of this, if a position is denied, one may still choose to pass it. However, this is considered rather improper. In the end, the passing and history of a position gives it its validity. However, I think it's important to have some sort of process to avoid frivolous position-making. Also, still confused if Shots is a position or an item? On that subject, a position has more responsibility than an item holder. Most item holders just have to safeguard the item and project what it represents into the CTY community, but position holders have actual duties in addition to keeping an artifact and embodying an idea. Also, I made a list of one word that describes what every position/item represents (in my interpretation, but everyone's is different, of course) (e.g. Cloak- individuality). I don't know if that is something of relevance on here or not. ALSO, SECRET KEEPER IS NOT A DEAD POSITION. -Shprinkles
