An elected club is given several advantages over a personal club, elected clubs get a detailed transaction history of their bank balance, the ability to rent club rooms and the ability to change various extra elements of the club. All commands in clubs are prepended by the club name in lower case with all the spaces replaced with underscores.

An elected club can continue to function after the founder has left the mud. Discussion Items control various features of the club. When a discussion item is completed, the results are mailed to the committee, and posted to the bulletin board if the club has one. A history of all the discussion items in the club will be kept that can be perused to see what has happened in the past. A discussion item is not acted upon unless it has quorum.
