the point of said union would not be strictly rake related. Also the point of it would be that affiliates would NOT be well paid. If it was set up corectly, not much work would be involved and i would be willing to donate my time to it (and im sure others would too)

im not saying your evil and greedy, or that any other specific affiliate is. But they way it works now is that you have to have money to make money, and its at the expense of the player too often.

No offense, but you sound like a clueless liberal (or a commie) with the "it wouldn't be that hard" idea. It would take a TON of work to do this correctly. Whenever you have a lot of people all under one hood, naturally leadership needs to be put in place, otherwise it's a huge clusterfuck of miscommunication, frustration, etc. The "leadership" is going to have to work his/her/their ass off. That won't last for long on a pro bono basis. They're going to want compensation. Thus, you're left with a new affiliate.

That's how unions work. Union members (often) benefit, but the union leaders do pretty well for themselves.
