EU or NA?: EU
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? : I am, I do
Why should you become CR?:
Having been part of this community for over 4 years, I have seen it all. I have taken my breaks, but am now here to stay. I was there when the first round of community reps was there and I was sceptical, but in its current form I can almost smell the potential.
I can put up a long and morally pleasing story here, but I will get right to the point. The list below will be the spearpoints on which I will be focusing, would you grant me the everlasting favour of choosing me as your EU Community Representative:
- Carefully take into account the critique former CRs have received. In particular about communicating closely with the community. I plan on visiting the TeamSpeak servers of the Larger regiments frequently, but also keeping in touch with the smaller clans out there. My focus, however, will lie with the forums and the larger clans, I am a mere human and cannot visit everyone.
I will also go around 'open' TS servers where multiple clans are situated.
- I will do my utmost to inform the community of any matter I deem serious enough to share. I will publicise what I am working on, what suggestions I have received and what the status is on any projects I will be working on.
- I will keep lines to the moderation staff close and try to convey the wishes, woes and grievances of the community as best as I can.
- I will also set myself an objective to come in closer contact with isolated branches of this community, in particular NW-ers who are not fluent in the King's English (this is not a jab to the U.S.)
I know that there are (sometimes large) pockets of community out there hwo are hesitant to get on the forum due to the language barriers. I will be able to get into contact with Dutch and German pockets myself and will try others if possible, hopefully finding translators.
Why do I find this important? It is apparent that NW's popularity has decreased over the years. In a game that is losing popularity, every community member is valuable. My focus, however, will still remain at the already active (regimental) side of this community.
One thing that I will not be organised myself, but would most definitely be willing to help with, is organising community events in terms of gameplay. Why? I do not think it is the duty nor the job of a CR to host such events, as this may potentially lead to controversy. As mentioned I would be willing to help, but I will try to never put me in a position where my objectivity can be doubted.
I sincerely hope this community sees me fit to be a community representative.
At your service,
Riddlez
UPDATE: I have intitiated contact with a number of regiments. I hope to get replies soon and to get into more permanent contact. If this community grants me the honour of representing them, I will be open to be contacted via their TS servers, amongst other channels, of course
