Title: 15th Election (April-June term) - Candidates and discussion
Post by: Thunderstormer on March 21, 2019, 07:21:09 pm
Shadow can at any time change this.  I will give this till 12 am central US on the 26th before i lock in who can run and put up the thread for people to vote in.

if i see a troll app, i wont add it.   You must answer all of the questions in the app.  Consider this your warning.   I'll try and update the op daily, other mods can update it as well. check the stickied threads if you  need help.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes
Why should you become CR?: Well, there are a number of reasons on why I want to become a Community Representative.

My first point, which is also my biggest point is to ensure that the members of the forum are getting what they want and that their suggestions and concerns are being acknowledged and are being dealt with, I feel like this is something which really does need some attention, because on multiple occasions I have had various conversations with members from the community regarding great suggestions that they had and how they were not being heard, I want to be the voice for the people I want their messages to be heard by the staff team of this forum.

How would I achieve this? I would become that “Middle-Man” between members of the community and the higher up staff members who make decisions here on the FSE Forums, I would ensure that everything gets passed onto them whether the idea is out of this world! Or a very good idea, I would not be biased to anyone / any side of the community, I would voice both the competitive side and the general side of the community to ensure that everyone gets heard.

My second reason is that I wish to try and gain a new influx of people by trying to create new fun, unique things (new sub-boards and such) that will intrigue old and possibly new members of the community to get engaged with.
Another thing I’d like to achieve is to reduce the amount of toxicity on the forum, in general the community is great but individuals/groups of people are creating scenes and drama which shouldn't tear the community apart which is something I think should be looked into and regarded, which is something I promise to do.

How would I achieve this? I would look into implementing new sub-boards and things of a sort in order to catch more people's attention, one main idea I had was a Give-Away sub-board, now to some this could sound lame however I personally have never seen it done a forums before this board would allow members of the community would be able to do giveaways however to avoid people making multiple accounts and such, certain restrictions would be put into place, for example, you must reach a certain rank or number of hours in order to see the forum. (Of-course this is just an idea.)
I would also assist the current moderation team in enforcing the forums rules, to try and cut down on toxicity and such.

My third reason for me wanting to become a Community Representative is that I have been playing the game for 5 years, I have been on FSE lurking for around 3 years (I had an account beforehand but lost the details) in my time of being here, I have met some wonderful people who have made my experience of this game amazing, some other people who haven't had the best experiences with me, but I say let bygones be bygones I wish to become more engaged with this community and I wish to be a person where people can come to me, to get their opinions expressed and have a very high chance of a definite answer back because I feel that the members of the forum should be heard and that both sides of the forum staff and members should be more engaged into one another.

How would I achieve this? Well, the main way I would achieve this, I would encourage members of the community that want to have their opinions voices or even just want to have a general chat that my forum pms, my steam, and discord are always open for anyone to pop me a message, I love communicating with the community and engaging with them as much as possible making not only their experience but my experience better and creating that better more positive atmosphere.

My fourth and last point, for me wanting to become CR is to again as said above tackle problems on the forums, such as the dying and or dead sub-boards, that either need reviving or revamping in order to gain the community's attention again.

How would I achieve this? The first thing I would do to achieve this is I would do extensive research into the current sub-boards of the forum and see the levels of activity in a certain period of months, after that I would place my suggestions forward to the staff team whether the board wasn’t worth keeping, or whether it was, if the case is that it was worth to keep it I would try and brainstorm ideas as well as take ideas from the community in order to revamp it.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes

Why should you become CR?:
I really just had a heartbeat I have to give it a shot. I obviously have a slightly idea of what I'm up to, the backing to apply for CR and confidence on myself.

I've been into the commmunity since 2013 and the golden days of the 33rd siege, and although I didnt engage into the forums until a year after I know well about those times and learnt a great deal. Ever since I have been into various sections of the community taking different roles and now I hope, as CR, I can bring these together and expand the renoun of this position; to introduce people into the forum ecosystem by seeing a known face taking these responsabilities and becoming anyone's ear to listen to their issues and spokesman to solve them. As an old community member, as an usual NCO in 1st league regiments, as Spain's historical NWWC team captain and second only to Tenford (rip), tournament organiser and overseer, and a K-KA pleb my election will bring awareness about this role and potentially motivate others to apply for future candidacies.
In regards to transparency and forum influence one of my priorities would be to have a more sensible approach to enforce punishments on rulebreaking. Often times spam and offensive language are dealt in great diaparity, regardless of their context. Too many times I've seen friends immediately muted for either quoting/doubleposting or using "racial slurs" within inoffensive jokes and in the other hand come across the wost of the offenses and ugliest of insults to be barely *snipped*. I will watch over user reports and threads and contextualise each case, reccomending an even non-biased course of action. My goal on this is to have more people enjoying their time in the forums and put an end to spoiled children insulting one another over a videogame.

Secondly, I'll be encouraging the new tournament organisers to take a new approach on their respective competitions. I have organised tournaments myself and seen the old ones, those competitions were grand events full of expectation and each with a unique personality. At some point during the rise of the new generation of french players (FrenchTouch) new players started arranging their own competitions in a faster pace, overruning the system. At this day tournaments are completely streamlined, regular events where its about the usual few people playing each other again and again. I know about a couple very old sagas about to make a comeback this year, making a display of the old system. As a community representative I will be in contact with all these organisers, old and new, and advise them on how to make their events unique: Have a new generation of referees able to assist and resolve situations, have forum art makers and bb coders involved in aswell as map makers and, ultimately, establish a calendar with all ongoing competitions of atleast the three months ahead. This last measurement would be a place for all competitions to be displayed and community members to planify for upcoming events and forsee a lack or repetition of certain modalities. Events should never overlap one another, and a global awareness will definitively be positive. This would also establish a direct communication between organisers and community representatives where there was none before. Dates could be requested to be changed and improvements on competitions, encouraged. What I hope to see is an increase of people jumping into these competitions with a much clearer list of priorities, incentivating old and new teams and players alike.
I have no plans for the casual event scene, although I would seek contact with linebattle organisers to know their concerns. I am open for anyone to reach out to me. I've spent years in the casual scene collecting experience and I'm in a position, as an experienced player and CR, to suggest, manage, assist and resolve any issues, concerns, ideas, quarrels and other technical issues. I honestly would like to see more competitive players having casual fun and inexperienced players, eager to learn more about the game or improve, try their luck in a few competitive events. We'll see if I can make ends meet.

To close this up, I'm making a call of confidence on my skills to earn your vote and on how will I handle this role. As a longstanding player, I have a wide perspective on how to tackle new issues and a vast list of contacts I can rely on to help the community out for good. As an adult, I'm a good listener and have the needed temperament. As an event organiser, I know the ins-and-outs of administration, thread-making and subforums. As a spanish player in the international scene, I know what it is to be underrepresented, about the national scenes unique nature and their potential to contribute to the global pool. As part of a minority group I can tell well racist and homophobic attitudes and put them down right in the spot, but specially I'm someone users can rely on to understand them and help out, be it forum-wise or personal, directly or anonimally, being in reach in FSE , steam and teamspeak, from my pc or my phone.

Please raise your hands if you have any questions. I hope this is readable and makes sense.
Thank you for your time :)

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes.
Why should you become CR?: The state of competitive and the state of casual have started to deteriorate with the last CR election.

First let's start with the start with the state of competitive, while the 4v4 league is going well and has competitive players in it it has almost entirely killed regimental 1v1s and gfs similar to how WPC did. While I understand why the NA community has two stacked regiments with little to no competition, 42nd and LG. Despite their being the 93rd and the 65th the LG is still to stacked to allow for anymore competitive play in NW. If I was to be elected not only would I help moderate and organize more regimental competitive play. but perhaps start another season of NWGL.

Secondly the state of casual, this is something CR reps have ignored time and time again. I've represented both competitive and casual community and we see that for both my Thursday and Sunday events that have both casual and competitive regiments in attendance. I would keep with this trend of trying to get competitive regiments more into casual and casual into competitive vice versa. Events wise Mondays, Tuesdays,Thursdays,Fridays Saturdays and Sundays are all going strong and still hosting. Wednesday though has been a dead day before even the last CR election. I believe we should work to revive Wednesdays so that we can full 7 days a week for NW events. Meanwhile 2ndHan host the most popular event at the moment the Saturday event which has over 300 players every week a very impressive attendance.

In conclusion, I believe I would make a good CR rep by supporting both the competitive and casual community on the forums and off. I believe if I was elected we could revive both regimental events and raise casual events attendance and standard of administration of said events.

Why should you become CR?:

       I felt good about my last term, a real sense of some accomplishment within the scene and I only want to do more and more and more for the benefit of the community. I feel like I have more to do especially since the 4v4 league has occupied much of my recent time. I think the community was overall satisfied with my recent term which is good and I plan to inject the community with as much life as I can. I also feel like I have the most experience with this position and I have only found ways to better the role and make use of it. Though the casual side of the community may have been a bit neglected by me for this recent term hopefully I can put my efforts towards that more strongly this next term as I won't be so preoccupied with running the 4v4 league.

My competency as an administrator and moderator alone lead me to believe I am the best candidate for this role. Also a critique for myself might be that I'm not as active as I should be due to school and working closing shifts. School is pretty coming to a close and I know that I'm going to be online a lot more to deal with the player base and whatever may be going on. The community has been a lot more involved with these recent CR terms which is really good for the role itself and has brought the role to something more community based rather than the sole-CR based.

While the casual community may have been neglected a little they seem to putting along without too much distress. It's also important to remember that the competitive community makes up probably like 90-95% of FSE (which is where the CR's strengths lie.). Without the competitive community there basically is no community which would render the CR role a whole lot more useless. It is kind of important to elect a fitting person into the role of CR because it can actually impact the community more than you think. Other than that, I'm planning to keep doing what I'm doing.

I hope this doesn't greatly offend you but I feel like your incompetencies as an organizer were showed during the duration of the NWGL which was terribly messy and quite inactive. Though you do have a strong footing in the casual community I don't believe that the role of CR is even necessary for that strong of a focus. I mean what more can you do with the casual community which you're not already doing and which you need the role of CR for? I feel like also since your most recent personal issues while unfortunate have left you out of the light of the comp scene (as well as the heavily organizing focused team captain role in NWDL) it has also shed a bad light on you and made people distrust your character even more.

Sounds like you both are concerned with the state of the casual community; and feel they are not getting as much attention as the competitive community. Windflower points out that the competitive community makes up about 90-95 % of the FSE forums. Could it be an idea to encourage the casual community to get a more visible presence on the forums? That should help their case, as we'd get a wider array of different opinions, ensure that the casual community has a clear voice and presence, as well as breathe more life into the FSE forums. It's always good to see more active members on here.

Good luck to all candidates!

In that regard what do you need CR for? In regard to my character you're talking to the person who helped rid the community of a trolly mismanaged gf server. I'm also the one to do any type of 1v1 league or regimental competition for competitive since WPC started to its end. It's result had the LG and 42nd and a bunch of other regiments starting doing 1v1s and gfs again.  Taking shots at NWGL for its poorly managed surface was to be expected but then again I was running it all alone with little to go off of. I at least did something while you were still afk and no where to be seen. I actually made a choice to choose action instead of waiting for someone else to create something. I'm not going to slander you at all so if you want to keep shooting shots go ahead.

That's clearly the focus of my application. Most CR reps have been more competitive  focused and paid no attention to casual.

Another big thing that I need help with is getting event admins to stop taking bribes from certain regiments for Perm spec. slots. It is unfair for this corrupt practice to continue as It prevents other regiments for having a fair chance to have a spec.

That should help their case, as we'd get a wider array of different opinions, ensure that the casual community has a clear voice and presence, as well as breathe more life into the FSE forums. It's always good to see more active members on here.
This is something I've contemplated in the past but have had trouble coming to the conclusion of this myself and this would be an issue that would be nice to get input from the community. Casual players don't really have any reason to post here or put time into making a commitment to post on FSE. Other than Events and maybe the odd regimental thread it would be hard to get casuals onto FSE and being engaged in such a demographic that is 90-95% competitive players.

This is a prevalent issue within the casual community, thank you for bringing your concerns to the forum here so that they may be addressed, it is not too common from that side of the community so it's appreciated.

This is a prevalent issue within the casual community, thank you for bringing your concerns to the forum here so that they may be addressed, it is not too common from that side of the community so it's appreciated.
Windflower is out of touch with the casual community. He does not attend events or administrate them. I do all of them, the fact that you say this a prevalent issue in the community is not true at all for this has only just recently started to become a problem within the community.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes.
Why should you become CR?: The state of competitive and the state of casual have started to deteriorate with the last CR election.

First let's start with the start with the state of competitive, while the 4v4 league is going well and has competitive players in it it has almost entirely killed regimental 1v1s and gfs similar to how WPC did. While I understand why the NA community has two stacked regiments with little to no competition, 42nd and LG. Despite their being the 93rd and the 65th the LG is still to stacked to allow for anymore competitive play in NW. If I was to be elected not only would I help moderate and organize more regimental competitive play. but perhaps start another season of NWGL.

Secondly the state of casual, this is something CR reps have ignored time and time again. I've represented both competitive and casual community and we see that for both my Thursday and Sunday events that have both casual and competitive regiments in attendance. I would keep with this trend of trying to get competitive regiments more into casual and casual into competitive vice versa. Events wise Mondays, Tuesdays,Thursdays,Fridays Saturdays and Sundays are all going strong and still hosting. Wednesday though has been a dead day before even the last CR election. I believe we should work to revive Wednesdays so that we can full 7 days a week for NW events. Meanwhile 2ndHan host the most popular event at the moment the Saturday event which has over 300 players every week a very impressive attendance.

In conclusion, I believe I would make a good CR rep by supporting both the competitive and casual community on the forums and off. I believe if I was elected we could revive both regimental events and raise casual events attendance and standard of administration of said events.
I hope this doesn't greatly offend you but I feel like your incompetencies as an organizer were showed during the duration of the NWGL which was terribly messy and quite inactive. Though you do have a strong footing in the casual community I don't believe that the role of CR is even necessary for that strong of a focus. I mean what more can you do with the casual community which you're not already doing and which you need the role of CR for? I feel like also since your most recent personal issues while unfortunate have left you out of the light of the comp scene (as well as the heavily organizing focused team captain role in NWDL) it has also shed a bad light on you and made people distrust your character even more.

In that regard what do you need CR for? In regard to my character you're talking to the person who helped rid the community of a trolly mismanaged gf server. I'm also the one to do any type of 1v1 league or regimental competition for competitive since WPC started to its end. It's result had the LG and 42nd and a bunch of other regiments starting doing 1v1s and gfs again.  Taking shots at NWGL for its poorly managed surface was to be expected but then again I was running it all alone with little to go off of. I at least did something while you were still afk and no where to be seen. I actually made a choice to choose action instead of waiting for someone else to create something. I'm not going to slander you at all so if you want to keep shooting shots go ahead.
CR is great for everything and anything forum related which is where a lot of the business goes down, Not only the FSE Administration Board but moderating community issues that quite frequently take place on FSE. It's also great for seeing what the community wants and is frustrated about, now your turn instead of just asking me the same question. You also seem to take all credit for the creation of Public_Groupfighting which is kind of weird as there was meetings and discussions about this issue far prior to your creation of your server which was a little bit of a weird vie for power. Not trying to discredit your help but there were clearly many others involved in this process that did just as much. NWGL was a mess because you CHOSE to run it by yourself instead of seeking help like I did with the 4v4 League, it just shows the difference in administration. You also claimed while running the league that you yourself was the reason 1v1s were revived (which they really were not, maybe the first week of the league). You're also contradicting yourself with the whole "I'm not going to slander you" but "all you did was sit afk and were gone". Clearly that is not true as I've been active for a while now. You may view it as me taking shots at you but I'm really just making valid discussion points against your candidacy which is natural in an election. It begs the question that if you were dealing with things and were inactive during NWGL and also most recently the 4v4 league, how could we be sure that you aren't just going to do that very same thing if you were elected as CR.

That should help their case, as we'd get a wider array of different opinions, ensure that the casual community has a clear voice and presence, as well as breathe more life into the FSE forums. It's always good to see more active members on here.
This is something I've contemplated in the past but have had trouble coming to the conclusion of this myself and this would be an issue that would be nice to get input from the community.

Again you're slandering me which totally contradicts what you just said. To be honest you really do not even need to play the game to be the CR in all truth though it does help you connect more with the players of the community it is not totally necessary unless you have reason to be administrating things within the game. You've already been doing your thing with hosting events and attending them so how is that relevant to the election and position? Also it seems like you're misunderstanding the use of the word prevalent. Any scenario where bribes are being handed out within the community makes it a very prevalent issue as it was with BoB groupfighting and as it is now happening within the casual community (and has been a problem in the past as well).

Which part of my response was a false statement? And jeez what a vague answer to my question. Also those are quite the claims lol, saying I have no relation with the casual scene is indeed slander, I'm concerned with its well being and state and have been, just because I don't have the time or necessarily interest to play in casual events every day does not mean I don't know anything about it. Also the 4v4 League killing competitive? Save it lol.. that's a pretty petty baseless accusation. This is not WPC and has already been a lot better than that league in the way it's been administrated and handled, and people are enjoying the league like you said. My league is not the reason for the decrease in popularity in the 1v1 scene either and that's clear as day to anyone. There hasn't been a properly administrated and fun 1v1 league in a long time that's engaged the community. You tried, you failed.

Also those are quite the claims lol, saying I have no relation with the casual scene is indeed slander, I'm concerned with its well being and state and have been, just because I don't have the time or necessarily interest to play in casual events every day does not mean I don't know anything about it. Also the 4v4 League killing competitive? Save it lol.. that's a pretty petty baseless accusation. This is not WPC and has already been a lot better than that league in the way it's been administrated and handled, and people are enjoying the league like you said. My league is not the reason for the decrease in popularity in the 1v1 scene either and that's clear as day to anyone. There hasn't been a properly administrated and fun 1v1 league in a long time that's engaged the community. You tried, you failed.

I have never taken full credit for anything about it. However I am the one whose events lead up to the destruction of BOB.
Did you just contradict yourself?
It is not slander to say a fact. Now you do not have any relation to anyone in the casual scene. After hosting since 2014 in the KPR I have ,maybe seen you once two twice in a casual event. How could you possibly have any relation to it. Now regarding WPC I completely agree with you that the way you and others have administrated it is far better and I congratulate you on it. Now with the state of 1v1's that's not really due to leagues its due to competition as many have already pointed out the LG is far too stacked of a regiment to allow any other competition even the 42nd is pretty stacked with old players that anyone who tried to face them would have no chance of winning. It's the stacking of regiments that has caused the most major problem.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes.
Why should you become CR?: The state of competitive and the state of casual have started to deteriorate with the last CR election.

First let's start with the start with the state of competitive, while the 4v4 league is going well and has competitive players in it it has almost entirely killed regimental 1v1s and gfs similar to how WPC did. While I understand why the NA community has two stacked regiments with little to no competition, 42nd and LG. Despite their being the 93rd and the 65th the LG is still to stacked to allow for anymore competitive play in NW. If I was to be elected not only would I help moderate and organize more regimental competitive play. but perhaps start another season of NWGL.

Secondly the state of casual, this is something CR reps have ignored time and time again. I've represented both competitive and casual community and we see that for both my Thursday and Sunday events that have both casual and competitive regiments in attendance. I would keep with this trend of trying to get competitive regiments more into casual and casual into competitive vice versa. Events wise Mondays, Tuesdays,Thursdays,Fridays Saturdays and Sundays are all going strong and still hosting. Wednesday though has been a dead day before even the last CR election. I believe we should work to revive Wednesdays so that we can full 7 days a week for NW events. Meanwhile 2ndHan host the most popular event at the moment the Saturday event which has over 300 players every week a very impressive attendance.

In conclusion, I believe I would make a good CR rep by supporting both the competitive and casual community on the forums and off. I believe if I was elected we could revive both regimental events and raise casual events attendance and standard of administration of said events.
I hope this doesn't greatly offend you but I feel like your incompetencies as an organizer were showed during the duration of the NWGL which was terribly messy and quite inactive. Though you do have a strong footing in the casual community I don't believe that the role of CR is even necessary for that strong of a focus. I mean what more can you do with the casual community which you're not already doing and which you need the role of CR for? I feel like also since your most recent personal issues while unfortunate have left you out of the light of the comp scene (as well as the heavily organizing focused team captain role in NWDL) it has also shed a bad light on you and made people distrust your character even more.

but perhaps start another season of NWGL.

In that regard what do you need CR for? In regard to my character you're talking to the person who helped rid the community of a trolly mismanaged gf server. I'm also the one to do any type of 1v1 league or regimental competition for competitive since WPC started to its end. It's result had the LG and 42nd and a bunch of other regiments starting doing 1v1s and gfs again.  Taking shots at NWGL for its poorly managed surface was to be expected but then again I was running it all alone with little to go off of. I at least did something while you were still afk and no where to be seen. I actually made a choice to choose action instead of waiting for someone else to create something. I'm not going to slander you at all so if you want to keep shooting shots go ahead.
CR is great for everything and anything forum related which is where a lot of the business goes down, Not only the FSE Administration Board but moderating community issues that quite frequently take place on FSE. It's also great for seeing what the community wants and is frustrated about, now your turn instead of just asking me the same question. You also seem to take all credit for the creation of Public_Groupfighting which is kind of weird as there was meetings and discussions about this issue far prior to your creation of your server which was a little bit of a weird vie for power. Not trying to discredit your help but there were clearly many others involved in this process that did just as much. NWGL was a mess because you CHOSE to run it by yourself instead of seeking help like I did with the 4v4 League, it just shows the difference in administration. You also claimed while running the league that you yourself was the reason 1v1s were revived (which they really were not, maybe the first week of the league). You're also contradicting yourself with the whole "I'm not going to slander you" but "all you did was sit afk and were gone". Clearly that is not true as I've been active for a while now. You may view it as me taking shots at you but I'm really just making valid discussion points against your candidacy which is natural in an election. It begs the question that if you were dealing with things and were inactive during NWGL and also most recently the 4v4 league, how could we be sure that you aren't just going to do that very same thing if you were elected as CR.

Could it be an idea to encourage the casual community to get a more visible presence on the forums? That should help their case, as we'd get a wider array of different opinions, ensure that the casual community has a clear voice and presence, as well as breathe more life into the FSE forums. It's always good to see more active members on here.
This is something I've contemplated in the past but have had trouble coming to the conclusion of this myself and this would be an issue that would be nice to get input from the community. Casual players don't really have any reason to post here or put time into making a commitment to post on FSE. Other than Events and maybe the odd regimental thread it would be hard to get casuals onto FSE and being engaged in such a demographic that is 90-95% competitive players.

Another big thing that I need help with is getting event admins to stop taking bribes from certain regiments for Perm spec. slots. It is unfair for this corrupt practice to continue as It prevents other regiments for having a fair chance to have a spec.
This is a prevalent issue within the casual community, thank you for bringing your concerns to the forum here so that they may be addressed, it is not too common from that side of the community so it's appreciated.

Windflower is out of touch with the casual community. He does not attend events or administrate them. I do all of them, the fact that you say this a prevalent issue in the community is not true at all for this has only just recently started to become a problem within the community.
Again you're slandering me which totally contradicts what you just said. To be honest you really do not even need to play the game to be the CR in all truth though it does help you connect more with the players of the community it is not totally necessary unless you have reason to be administrating things within the game. You've already been doing your thing with hosting events and attending them so how is that relevant to the election and position? Also it seems like you're misunderstanding the use of the word prevalent. Any scenario where bribes are being handed out within the community makes it a very prevalent issue as it was with BoB groupfighting and as it is now happening within the casual community (and has been a problem in the past as well).

First of all let's talk about Public Groupfighting. I have never taken full credit for anything about it. However I am the one whose events lead up to the destruction of BOB. Now to speak of slandering you started first I only responded to it. Again with CR i've said time and time again that it would obviously be used on and off the forums and the CR position isn't entirely necessary but it would indeed help with it. You're making excuses for having no relation with casual and are in denial with the 4v4 league killing competitive. The aftermath of WPC should be history enough.

AAAAAaaaaahhhhh anecdotal evidence help (https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/anecdotal)! I've recently been in the LIR before I've been occupied with my CR term, and I was going to plenty of casual events lol. 2014, 2015, and 2016 I was in the PSG which went to casual events like 3-4 times a week. I have relation to the casual scene currently through the people I know that are in it and tell me, it's not trivial. As for this stacked regiment dilemma, it's the way it has always been for the most part of recent NW history disregarding the last season of NANWL which didn't have the LG. But usually there's always 2 heavy favourites to win the league with a couple of wildcard regiments in there as well. It's going to happen with this size of the community nowadays and if the inclusion of a second league happened during the next 1v1 league it would consist of mainly pub-style regiments since it would be unfair otherwise. The competition isn't something that you can really forcefully change, it's really dependent on the season too imo, but it also doesn't sound like you have a sound solution to this "major problem" either.

This is not WPC and has already been a lot better than that league in the way it's been administrated and handled, and people are enjoying the league like you said. My league is not the reason for the decrease in popularity in the 1v1 scene either and that's clear as day to anyone. There hasn't been a properly administrated and fun 1v1 league in a long time that's engaged the community. You tried, you failed.

Quote from: author=Forgotfulking link=topic=41220.msg1823330#msg1823330 date=1553208206
I have never taken full credit for anything about it. However I am the one whose events lead up to the destruction of BOB.
Did you just contradict yourself?
[close]
It is not slander to say a fact. Now you do not have any relation to anyone in the casual scene. After hosting since 2014 in the KPR I have ,maybe seen you once two twice in a casual event. How could you possibly have any relation to it. Now regarding WPC I completely agree with you that the way you and others have administrated it is far better and I congratulate you on it. Now with the state of 1v1's that's not really due to leagues its due to competition as many have already pointed out the LG is far too stacked of a regiment to allow any other competition even the 42nd is pretty stacked with old players that anyone who tried to face them would have no chance of winning. It's the stacking of regiments that has caused the most major problem.
First you say my league is killing competetive and then you congratulate me on my success? Wat  :o

AAAAAaaaaahhhhh anecdotal evidence help (https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/anecdotal)! I've recently been in the LIR before I've been occupied with my CR term, and I was going to plenty of casual events lol. 2014, 2015, and 2016 I was in the PSG which went to casual events like 3-4 times a week. I have relation to the casual scene currently through the people I know that are in it and tell me, it's not trivial. As for this stacked regiment dilemma, it's the way it has always been for the most part of recent NW history disregarding the last season of NANWL which didn't have the LG. But usually there's always 2 heavy favourites to win the league with a couple of wildcard regiments in there as well. It's going to happen with this size of the community nowadays and if the inclusion of a second league happened during the next 1v1 league it would consist of mainly pub-style regiments since it would be unfair otherwise. The competition isn't something that you can really forcefully change, it's really dependent on the season too imo, but it also doesn't sound like you have a sound solution to this "major problem" either.

I'd like to nominate Thompson. He's an active duty U.S. Air Force member and is on a top secret deployment where he's repairing F22's in the deserts of the Middle East. He has security clearance 6 and routinely kills ISIS operatives with his bare hands when he goes out for a piss. Make sure to thank him for his service

I understand the whole reg stack but also the CR can't force a regiment to split. The most a CR can do is give advice and moderate but they aren't some sort of All powerful god.  It is mainly competitive that the CR deals with as most of FSE is fully of comp players and reg leaders.  And what are you going to do for 1v1 moraine? Host another 1v1 league that you'll neglect? NANWL is on it's way around which isn't being hosted by the CR. 

I don't see a reason for someone to baby sit casual aswell, you host most of the events yeah but from what I've heard from other admins not much is being done by you.  Why does being CR change anything? No one will respect you anymore than they do now. 

I think Windflower did a good job the past term with the 4v4 league, moderating the forums and doing his best to figure out the NWWC with godfried. 
To say windflower did nothing past term is really just you trying to down talk him but you don't have any substance to your argument.  You couldn't manage a 4v4 team (which honestly was just schedualling a matches/scrims and trading player) but you could attend every casual event even N&S for an hour+ almost everyday. You said two matches was too much and you didn't realise it would be like that even though that had been the main selling point so you obviously didn't take the time to read and understand the league when you signed up as a captain. 

This are just my opinons, yes I talked poorly of you moraine but those are my experiences with you and I take issue with you being the CR.  I'm not the only one who thinks this way aswell there are many prominent members of the casual community that agree but do not wish to get involved so I won't named them.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes
Why should you become CR?: Well, there are a number of reasons on why I want to become a Community Representative.

My first point, which is also my biggest point is to ensure that the members of the forum are getting what they want and that their suggestions and concerns are being acknowledged and are being dealt with, I feel like this is something which really does need some attention, because on multiple occasions I have had various conversations with members from the community regarding great suggestions that they had and how they were not being heard, I want to be the voice for the people I want their messages to be heard by the staff team of this forum.

How would I achieve this? I would become that “Middle-Man” between members of the community and the higher up staff members who make decisions here on the FSE Forums, I would ensure that everything gets passed onto them whether the idea is out of this world! Or a very good idea, I would not be biased to anyone / any side of the community, I would voice both the competitive side and the general side of the community to ensure that everyone gets heard.

My second reason is that I wish to try and gain a new influx of people by trying to create new fun, unique things (new sub-boards and such) that will intrigue old and possibly new members of the community to get engaged with.
Another thing I’d like to achieve is to reduce the amount of toxicity on the forum, in general the community is great but individuals/groups of people are creating scenes and drama which shouldn't tear the community apart which is something I think should be looked into and regarded, which is something I promise to do.

How would I achieve this? I would look into implementing new sub-boards and things of a sort in order to catch more people's attention, one main idea I had was a Give-Away sub-board, now to some this could sound lame however I personally have never seen it done a forums before this board would allow members of the community would be able to do giveaways however to avoid people making multiple accounts and such, certain restrictions would be put into place, for example, you must reach a certain rank or number of hours in order to see the forum. (Of-course this is just an idea.)
I would also assist the current moderation team in enforcing the forums rules, to try and cut down on toxicity and such.

My third reason for me wanting to become a Community Representative is that I have been playing the game for 5 years, I have been on FSE lurking for around 3 years (I had an account beforehand but lost the details) in my time of being here, I have met some wonderful people who have made my experience of this game amazing, some other people who haven't had the best experiences with me, but I say let bygones be bygones I wish to become more engaged with this community and I wish to be a person where people can come to me, to get their opinions expressed and have a very high chance of a definite answer back because I feel that the members of the forum should be heard and that both sides of the forum staff and members should be more engaged into one another.

How would I achieve this? Well, the main way I would achieve this, I would encourage members of the community that want to have their opinions voices or even just want to have a general chat that my forum pms, my steam, and discord are always open for anyone to pop me a message, I love communicating with the community and engaging with them as much as possible making not only their experience but my experience better and creating that better more positive atmosphere.

My fourth and last point, for me wanting to become CR is to again as said above tackle problems on the forums, such as the dying and or dead sub-boards, that either need reviving or revamping in order to gain the community's attention again.

How would I achieve this? The first thing I would do to achieve this is I would do extensive research into the current sub-boards of the forum and see the levels of activity in a certain period of months, after that I would place my suggestions forward to the staff team whether the board wasn’t worth keeping, or whether it was, if the case is that it was worth to keep it I would try and brainstorm ideas as well as take ideas from the community in order to revamp it.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes I do understand the responsibility and if breaking that trust the punishment. Also I do feel I have the confidence and Smarts to not break that trust.

Why should you become CR?: I think I should become CR because I feel like I have the confidence smarts and the self control to make NW better than it already has. I also think I should become CR because I am a very respectful and nice kind person.

I also want to list the reasons and who I am as a person: I should become CR because even though NW is dying (I think we all see that) and I want to fix this. How you may ask well I would first get all the events set such as some events are dying and try to get more people and new regiments to come out and join in on the fun and the community of NW.

I also want to help by making the community less toxic I know that this task may be hard and time consuming but in the end it would work out by making the community a happier and friendly environment. How you may ask well here is why, I would make NW less toxic by putting regiments who are rivals


I would Also help the NW community by giving helpful advice to regiments players and people in general.
I would do this by opening up to people who need help advice or anything I would advertise my E-mail so people can contact me for complaints someone to talk to or anything. I also have had a rough time in my life at points so I want the people who do to open up to someone and make them better people in and out of the community.

I would also like to help with Regimental problems especially new regiments
I would do this by helping them register there regiment getting them setup for events and answering any questions they have for me or NW its self.

Finally I would like to say thank you for allowing me to take this chance of such a high position in NW thank you and (you know you wanna pick me lmao)

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative is one of trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust?: Yes

Why should you become CR?:
I really just had a heartbeat I have to give it a shot. I obviously have a slightly idea of what I'm up to, the backing to apply for CR and confidence on myself.

I've been into the commmunity since 2013 and the golden days of the 33rd siege, and although I didnt engage into the forums until a year after I know well about those times and learnt a great deal. Ever since I have been into various sections of the community taking different roles and now I hope, as CR, I can bring these together and expand the renoun of this position; to introduce people into the forum ecosystem by seeing a known face taking these responsabilities and becoming anyone's ear to listen to their issues and spokesman to solve them. As an old community member, as an usual NCO in 1st league regiments, as Spain's historical NWWC team captain and second only to Tenford (rip), tournament organiser and overseer, and a K-KA pleb my election will bring awareness about this role and potentially motivate others to apply for future candidacies.
In regards to transparency and forum influence one of my priorities would be to have a more sensible approach to enforce punishments on rulebreaking. Often times spam and offensive language are dealt in great diaparity, regardless of their context. Too many times I've seen friends immediately muted for either quoting/doubleposting or using "racial slurs" within inoffensive jokes and in the other hand come across the wost of the offenses and ugliest of insults to be barely *snipped*. I will watch over user reports and threads and contextualise each case, reccomending an even non-biased course of action. My goal on this is to have more people enjoying their time in the forums and put an end to spoiled children insulting one another over a videogame.

Secondly, I'll be encouraging the new tournament organisers to take a new approach on their respective competitions. I have organised tournaments myself and seen the old ones, those competitions were grand events full of expectation and each with a unique personality. At some point during the rise of the new generation of french players (FrenchTouch) new players started arranging their own competitions in a faster pace, overruning the system. At this day tournaments are completely streamlined, regular events where its about the usual few people playing each other again and again. I know about a couple very old sagas about to make a comeback this year, making a display of the old system. As a community representative I will be in contact with all these organisers, old and new, and advise them on how to make their events unique: Have a new generation of referees able to assist and resolve situations, have forum art makers and bb coders involved in aswell as map makers and, ultimately, establish a calendar with all ongoing competitions of atleast the three months ahead. This last measurement would be a place for all competitions to be displayed and community members to planify for upcoming events and forsee a lack or repetition of certain modalities. Events should never overlap one another, and a global awareness will definitively be positive. This would also establish a direct communication between organisers and community representatives where there was none before. Dates could be requested to be changed and improvements on competitions, encouraged. What I hope to see is an increase of people jumping into these competitions with a much clearer list of priorities, incentivating old and new teams and players alike.
I have no plans for the casual event scene, although I would seek contact with linebattle organisers to know their concerns. I am open for anyone to reach out to me. I've spent years in the casual scene collecting experience and I'm in a position, as an experienced player and CR, to suggest, manage, assist and resolve any issues, concerns, ideas, quarrels and other technical issues. I honestly would like to see more competitive players having casual fun and inexperienced players, eager to learn more about the game or improve, try their luck in a few competitive events. We'll see if I can make ends meet.

To close this up, I'm making a call of confidence on my skills to earn your vote and on how will I handle this role. As a longstanding player, I have a wide perspective on how to tackle new issues and a vast list of contacts I can rely on to help the community out for good. As an adult, I'm a good listener and have the needed temperament. As an event organiser, I know the ins-and-outs of administration, thread-making and subforums. As a spanish player in the international scene, I know what it is to be underrepresented, about the national scenes unique nature and their potential to contribute to the global pool. As part of a minority group I can tell well racist and homophobic attitudes and put them down right in the spot, but specially I'm someone users can rely on to understand them and help out, be it forum-wise or personal, directly or anonimally, being in reach in FSE , steam and teamspeak, from my pc or my phone.

I wonder since I'm EU, but I'm known in the NA because I only play NA it'd be fun seeing an Irishman take over the American fucks.

Feel free to apply for NA if you wish.

If one is part of the other community, there should be no issue to run to be the representative of the community in which you are active.

Us NA's are always worried about representation... figured y'all EU's would've learned that by now.

We actually only care about shitposting on the forums and arguing in CR debates. The title is just flavor.

Don't know if I speak for the EU's, but if honest I never even knew this was a thing. I guess some EU's are just the same they don't really care or look through forums besides getting recruits, applying for events/leagues and of course promoting servers.

Other than that I've played for NA's for years some reason the community seems simpler, I was there for North and South under the 2ndUSSS tags. Some might remember me cheering out "God save Ireland" before every round under the name Harper. The NA side of things seems more casual, more relaxed whereas the EU every time I've tried its always competitive and they're only bothered by the number of people get more than their picture.

I could be wrong, I could be hanging out with the wrong EU groups but all I'm saying is you NA's seem to know everyone and actually talk to each other.

Even though he’s linking logical fallacies like an absolute beta, Windy is coming off the back of what is probably in the top 5 most active terms an NA CR has put together. I declare my reservations unfounded and give my vote to Wind
Only true intellectual ALPHAS like myself may link logical fallacies. But I appreciate your support even though I can never count on it.
