You may now put yourself forward as candidates, on this thread or by PM. I'll make a small format to help you tomorrow. Please, do not post troll/joke-candidates, and I may warn those who do.

List of EU candidates:
 
- Keith (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=21830) (Hubert in NW)
information
Why should you become CR? : I think the Community Representative is essential in the EU community for solve all the misunderstandings that can really disturb and pollute a regiment topic. I have seen too many problems that have no place to be in FSE, especially the disrespect of other users. I want to be honest with you, I haven't a lot of experience in this type of activity. But my motivation can lead me to acquire this experience, and satisfy the whole community. I want to discover all of the EU members, and reignite the EU community by bring freshness and originality.

- John Price (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10348)
information
Why should you become CR? : Well I have been a part of the NW community since March 2011 and plan to carry it on till the end (with some breaks ofc). Obviously having my own reg I am always on top of ongoings in the community. I have moderated multiple forums and websites ranging from my regimental ones, Work related ones (I am an IT Support technician for a London school) and PW mod forums. I understand that obviously I have had a bumpy road on FSE but given the means I will act accordingly with standard.

- Michael Sparks (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10163)
Spoiler
Why should you become CR? : During my time within the NW community I've interacted and developed bonds with certain individuals, I hope to do this for the larger numbers of FSE. I have been around and been naughty a few times myself, but I wish to essentially repent what I have done and give back to FSE to help get the forums to how they used to be.
I've been with the community close to three years now and seen how the smallest amounts of drama can effect a community/regiment as a whole. I try to stay active with a few specific regiments but many don't last long so I see myself staying on the side lines as of late.
I hope to create a lasting experience for anyone who simply stays, or passes by.

Why should you become CR? : I've been a pretty long-time member of this community (late 2012). I have plenty of experience as an administrator and moderator, for example a manager of the Verdun League or administrating various clan websites. Having dealt with plenty people throughout this community and having had contact to various regiments, I believe I can represent well the varying interests within the community, and find a good balance. I don't have much going on for me within my real life, so I am able to spend excessive amounts of time on the forum (as I already do). If I set down my mind to do something, I carry on with it fully - as you can find out if you ask people that know me. Thank you for reading.

- Noorwegian (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=17523)

Why should you become CR? : As a person that has dealt a lot with administrative responsibilities in the past, I feel like I could be a good Community Representative. At the current moment, I am able to dedicate quite a lot of my time to the community, and since I currently have that amount of time on my hands, I would love to be able to use them for the better of this community. I know the community fairly well, and I see myself as a fair person so I won't let my personal opinion of someone or something get in the way of my responsibility. Thank you for taking time to read through this. I wish good luck to all the other candidates running for this position aswell.

Why should you become CR? :

I have been an active member of this community from the start basically, have had negotiations with the majority and if not all community at one point or another. Tend to stay neutral in most situations and not afraid to battle a fair point. Willing to put professionalism into the role based on putting aside any previous queries with individuals.

Why should you become CR? : I believe that I am a valid candidate for the position for CR due to my activity on the FSE forums,contacts in many regiments and administrative experience I have gained in regiments and some regimental forums. Lastly I have the patience to deal with the matters and problems that may occur to the community and I would like to believe that I have certain "Diplomatic" skills gained by dealing with inner regimental matters.

-Mekkil the Graet (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4221) (Mikkel the Great)
Spoiler
Why should you become CR? :

First of all, I want to make clear that if you vote for me, you are actually going to vote for multiple persons. I act merely as a representative.

You will, infact, be voting for the intellectual thinktank that goes by the name of “MekkilsSuperHaus” or short “MSH”.
You might know us from the super successful mod “nApoleonic wArs!111”. Yes! You have read correctly. We made the only mod in history that was so successful, that the moderation team has repeatedly removed our subforum from this Website, and all talk of it suppressed. We actually made them afraid of the impact it could have on the NW player base, as well as western culture as a whole.

Additionally, we are currently working on finishing up the next “nApoleonic wArs!111” version. We have also been spending time on a new, yet unannounced mod called “Yer a Wuzard” and obviously, we have never stopped development on our stand-alone games “spAce sAmurAi!111” and “CoD Wars”, which we are sure will leave a lasting impact on the gaming industry.

We have been creating highly professional, dynamic neo-modernistic, avant garde, non hipster, modifications and games based upon neo-platonic ideas and the input from the community (aka ourselves) for well over 4 years.
We are not only the #1 in Creative Game Design, we are also the #1 in creating new political ideologies.

This makes us the perfect choice for Community Representative. We promise that we will do everything in our power to make this forum a better, stronger and more secure place.
We have the strength to do enact the changes that you are so dearly hoping for.

Our multi-national team from Denmark, Sweden and Germany is highly skilled and will be processing every report, every request and every complaint separately.
Due to our widespread knowledge in the area of linguistics,  we will be able to process those reports, request and complaints not only in English, but also in Danish, Swedish, German, French, Catalan, Dutch, American English, Ukrainian, Maltese, Russian, C++ and Python (The language that snakes talk, not the programming language).

“MekkilsSuperHaus” will be investing lots of money and time into the most important aspects of this Forum. Mainly, Security, Regiments and Management.
Those 3 aspects are sacred to us and we will do our very best to ensure those 3 core points.

Security
Have you noticed the tone in debates on this forum? Have you noticed the amount of content less posts filling our forum? Have you, too, noticed the amount of trolls and troublemakers on this forum? Never before in history has the forum been in such a state. This are desperate times. And desperate times call for desperate moves. Only few are willing to act, but luckily, we are part of the few. We are not going to shy away from certain actions. We alone will do anything necessary to drive the evil out of the forums! Unlike other candidates, we alone have the will and courage to stand with you, and enact decisions for the betterment of us all. We alone, have the strength to take the unpopular but necessary decisions for this forum. We alone can protect the 99%.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Security, Quality and Determination for the betterment of the forum.

Regiments
With us as Community Representative, regiments will prosper. We will introduce a whole bunch of new and super creative policies that will make regiments twice strong and twice as big (actual effects may vary). We will host official events and official leagues will be introduced. Those leagues will be under direct control of the FSE leadership, to make sure that no results are rigged and that no one cheats his way up to the top, ensuring a fair and monitored playground, free of foul elements.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Solid Hierarchy, Regimental Dialogue and Stronger Regiments

Management
While “MekkilsSuperHaus” has only existed for a mere 4 years, Mikkel himself has been active in the community since before it was even founded. Yes! Thats right. Mikkel knew that NW would be released before it was announced.
Even more impressive is the fact that one of the core members of “MekkilsSuperHaus” has been part of the MM and NW community before it even existed. In fact, this very special person has not only set the foundation for this wonderful community but he has also set the foundation for this wonderful game.

What does the above mean for our position as “Community Representative”?  It means that we are not only informed about the history of the FSE community, but we also know the future of it. We can literally see into the future and therefore we can act faster than anyone else in the community could.

With an annual forum budget of 0 Euro a month, the current forum administration sees itself forced to enact a strange and cumbersome forum policy. You have probably noticed this problem before. The forum rules are very old and do not represent modern society very well. Rules that were written a hundred years ago do not apply to the modern world.
We strife to change that. We are currently in talks with FSE to increase the annual forum budget to a whole 1.1Million$ a month.
For obvious reasons, this budget would allow us to finally get rid of the old and outdated forum policies and introduce brand new policies that fit the time we life in. As well as securing us qualified leadership for the entire forum, today and in the future.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: A Better Forum.

Why should you become CR? : If you want work to be done well I am your man! I've proofen myself as trustworthy member of this community. My efforts in destroying the Betty-Regiment lead to the foundation of the Global Banlist as well as eventually the destruction of the Betty-Regiment and him disappearing from NW. I have been Admin of ~40 servers over my four years of M&B experience, with 3 years as member of the NW-community. I currently am Admin of Jailbreak and Tropical_Paradise, working for the best of you and the whole community.

I have forwarded the idea of a "Court of Appeal", where users can appeal for an unban or unmute in a polite way. The current policy telling muted users to contact a moderator via PM is complete nonsense as the PM-System can't be used when muted. I wish to address this matter - and I need your support! Vote for Ted!

Why should you become CR? : Well, I am probably one of the most active members of this community. Hosting Events and taking part in them is something im doing frequently. Even though Im relatively new to this community (joined 2 years ago) I have actively tried to learn as much as possible about the community and become a part of it. Hell, Ive read the the entire EU NWL thread just to get a knowledge about competetive history. I also frequently visit this Forum and now its culture, both the serious and the more banterous aspect of FSE.

Why should you become CR?: I have been apart of the North American community for 3 years now, I have been through it's ups and downs and I've seen it all. I've always been a "diplomat" which means I'd go out and put myself out there to make friends with others cause this is a COMMUNITY after all. I know a lot of people in the NA Community and I'm at good relations with a lot of them.

Why should you become CR? : I have been continuously active in game (eg. as NA1 Admin), on the forum, and in the community since I started with NW in 2013. I've participated in a variety of events (from NANWL to the current regional gf tourney and a host of different weekly linebattles/sieges/etc.) and filled various positions in a handful of regiments.

I have a strong knowledge of the goings-on of the community, especially on the competitive side having continued to closely follow the happenings of the major events. I have also strived to maintain good relations with members of the community at large - I'd like to think I've had at least a casual conversation with most of you at some point. In terms of what I bring to the table for this position, I can offer a level headed and absolutely impartial voice for effectively communicating the concerns and ideas of the NW community to the mods/FSE.

Why should you become CR? : I have not been in the community as long in comparison to others who will most likely be submitting a form to become a CR Candidate. To be honest, I would probably be viewed as the least experienced out of the whole lot. I started out in Napoleonic Wars, exclusively, on March 15, 2015. It is rounding out to be almost a year now soon, but a year is mince meat in comparison to a lot of the other members of this community who have been a positive, growing aspect of the community. But I love playing and interacting with every individual in this community. The NA side has its squabbles here and there and sometimes we get at each other throats, but at the end of the day I genuinely believe that we are all friends or at the very least have an underlying respect for each other. Now, while I do believe this, there are still things that occur on the forums that I witness daily of individuals/groups of individuals abusing rules or acting unbecoming of a member of this community (e.g. attacking people verbally with racial slurs/very offensive imagery). And actually, I was a target of such things on a certain thread that I won't name that did end up getting locked. And even though that locked thread was punished/locked temporarily, it is now back to a normal state where they continue to post what they'd like without offending others and I even still post there to this day and go along with the camaraderie between the members of that regimental thread because even though they wronged me, I still see them as friends at heart. But I really have a passion, honestly, to just have positive vibes flow through not just the forums, but the community as well. At the end of the day, we're all people who enjoy this game to a certain standard and try to play/compete in the atmosphere in our own way. Whether it be through being in a top tier competitive NWL regiment that holds training and events daily or just being in a casual, calm regimental setting. The point being, every aspect of the community is something I hold dear (not being a weird ass hehe). I see this as a good opportunity to help pursue the goals that Duuring and others see for the NA/EU communities and put myself out there. I always try my best to go to different teamspeaks and be friendly with all the other groups present in this community and try to leave my little 63e planet  ::). And I've met a lot of great people doing so, and I will continue to do as such. I personally don't see myself being elected as a CR because there will probably be a lot more experienced individuals who sign up, but I definitely care enough about this whole community to put a portion of my thoughts and go for the position in the first place.  ;D

Why should you become CR? : I've been reporting people for the past three years with this being a testament of my "accomplishments." Throughout those three years I've been contributing to the community by adding meaningful discussions and doing my best to stay civil although I will admit I'm not a perfect person with a few minor hiccups over the years. Regardless, I hope to finally be able to put my skills to use by representing this community and helping to eliminate conflict in an otherwise peaceful, bantering society. If you want someone that's been through every rank stage, and has been through it all, then I'm more then willing to represent the North American community. Not to mention that being a CR would finally allow me to have something to show for the thousands of hours I have both in-game and on this forum.

Why should you become CR? : I think the Community Representative is essential in the EU community for solve all the misunderstandings that can really disturb and pollute a regiment topic. I have seen too many problems that have no place to be in FSE, especially the disrespect of other users. I want to be honest with you, I haven't a lot of experience in this type of activity. But my motivation can lead me to acquire this experience, and satisfy the whole community. I want to discover all of the EU members, and reignite the EU community by bring freshness and originality.

Are you aware that the position of Community Representative of one trust and confidence, and do you understand you can be punished for breaking that trust? : Of course. Self explanatory.
Why should you become CR? : Well I have been a part of the NW community since March 2011 and plan to carry it on till the end (with some breaks ofc). Obviously having my own reg I am always on top of ongoings in the community. I have moderated multiple forums and websites ranging from my regimental ones, Work related ones (I am an IT Support technician for a London school) and PW mod forums. I understand that obviously I have had a bumpy road on FSE but given the means I will act accordingly with standard.

I've never seen a more perfect candidate for this position; in his many years among the NW community he has more than proven himself worthy, and capable of taking on this role.
I most certainly vouch for him

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? : More than aware

Why should you become CR? : During my time within the NW community I've interacted and developed bonds with certain individuals, I hope to do this for the larger numbers of FSE. I have been around and been naughty a few times myself, but I wish to essentially repent what I have done and give back to FSE to help get the forums to how they used to be.
I've been with the community close to three years now and seen how the smallest amounts of drama can effect a community/regiment as a whole. I try to stay active with a few specific regiments but many don't last long so I see myself staying on the side lines as of late.
I hope to create a lasting experience for anyone who simply stays, or passes by.

I'm also generally never biased - check 99% of my posts.

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? : Absolutely.
Why should you become CR? : I've been a pretty long-time member of this community (late 2012). I have plenty of experience as an administrator and moderator, for example a manager of the Verdun League or administrating various clan websites. Having dealt with plenty people throughout this community and having had contact to various regiments, I believe I can represent well the varying interests within the community, and find a good balance. I don't have much going on for me within my real life, so I am able to spend excessive amounts of time on the forum (as I already do). If I set down my mind to do something, I carry on with it fully - as you can find out if you ask people that know me. Thank you for reading.

Been with this lovely guy from PW to Napoleonic wars battles, he has always shown maturity and correct judgement with internal matters, along with moderating what was one of the biggest clans/group of the persistent world modification. He is also very well connected to the community, I can think of no better person for such a position.

I dont know him very well or for a long time but i have seen him on fse and playing NW since i can remember. When we had a huge argument in the 15th beetween 2 of my CO's not 2 long ago, which was very close to escalate, he got consulted somehow and without him i wouldnt have been able to solve it for sure.

I helped form and later was elected leader of an army with the 1er, 58e, 84e, 3e Gren, and VC. Yes its true that i havent been active as much as i used to but that has to do with the fact that TNWL is done and i currently dont have a regiment that im completely invested in (i dont feel like working my way up again) i intend to wait until BCoF where im going to form my own regiment.

As for windflower, i wont attack his credentials because i also see him as a valid candidate, however he has had conflicts with a few regiments in the past.

If youre wondering why should be valued like everyone else, keep in mind that i have ran or taken part in several community events such as, but not limited to, TNWL, NANWL, and a couple small melee touraments and regular tournaments. I helped form and later was elected leader of an army with the 1er, 58e, 84e, 3e Volt, and VC. Yes its true that i havent been active as much as i used to but that has to do with the fact that TNWL is done and i currently dont have a regiment that im completely invested in (i dont feel like working my way up again) i intend to wait until BCoF where im going to form my own regiment.

As for windflower, i wont attack his credentials because i also see him as a valid candidate, however he has had conflicts with a few regiments in the past.
I would rather have someone who is currently active on the community board. They know what's up. Plus, the only thread you really care about now is the political thread.

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 have been continuously active in game (eg. as NA1 Admin), on the forum, and in the community since I started with NW in 2013. I've participated in a variety of events (from NANWL to the current regional gf tourney and a host of different weekly linebattles/sieges/etc.) and filled various positions in a handful of regiments.

I have a strong knowledge of the goings-on of the community, especially on the competitive side having continued to closely follow the happenings of the major events. I have also strived to maintain good relations with members of the community at large - I'd like to think I've had at least a casual conversation with most of you at some point. In terms of what I bring to the table for this position, I can offer a level headed and absolutely impartial voice for effectively communicating the concerns and ideas of the NW community to the mods/FSE.

As i said, i have been inactive there for personal reasons (i haven't even been inactive there for very long) as well as the fact that i am currently not in a regiment. However if elected, i would most definitely keep tabs on everything, especially the community board. I know what people/regiments like/dislike each other, it's not like I've completely left. I know the feuds and for the most part, i've been keeping with the new/reformed regiments that have popped up, as well as kept contacts in the older regiments. There are some people who join a regiment and only talk with that regiment, only post on that regiment's thread (or in some cases, the group of regiments that they hang around with), this is what sets me apart, i'm not in a regiment, i talk with wide varieties of people from the community, for instance i know many people who would hate each other but have a mutual friendship with me and this is quite important. I would be able to bridge the many gaps that this community has where only certain groups of people talk with certain groups of other people.

It's not about who is the "active" forum member, it's who would make the best representative. I believe i would be active enough and i believe that i can represent the views of the community and bridge many of its gaps. Not just with the moderation, but with the different regiments as well.

Update: i stand corrected, it was 3eGrens, not Volt, although we were mods together in TNWL.

You HAVE taken part in the community in the past, but I wouldnt say you were on the friendliest of terms with alot of the community (I could maybe get your pals Theodin/a majority of the 71st here to vouch, but)


What will they do?

The Community Representative will solve issues that exist within the community, such as regimental quarrels, forum suggestions or problems and pretty much everything you'd like to discuss with someone of authority. The CR will discuss this with me, and will be allowed entry into the Global Forum Administration to share his views on subjects raised there (including bans and unbans of members). They will get their own little subboard where people can contact them and the CR may raise issues to be discussed. Basically, the CR will represent the interests of our forum members.


This seems like a job for someone who is currently active in the community, who is involved in the regimental quarrels in some way (ie a regimental leader, a league/tournament moderator (which you just resigned from because you deemed yourself too inactive), or a prominent member of a regiment).

Your a pretty cool guy Gluk, but I dont think you know "the interests of the forum members". Or at least, the members not on the political thread.

A bit early to be attacking people's credentials, i've been entirely on the defense here.

AP0C, you're not on friendly terms with a lot of people as well xD and that's fine. Also i don't think that a majority of the 71st would vouch that, i'm on good terms with Blade, never had a conflict with him and every time i have done anything with the 71st, it was always very respectful and professional, even in defeat and never had any conflicts with their regiment as a whole. The only member of the 71st that i have had problems with was theodin, and that's fine, i don't expect theodin to vote for me anyways. I would also say that me and theo are not on such polarized terms that i can't have a civil discussion with him on teamspeak, because i have.

As for your second part, i disagree entirely, it seems more like the job of someone who wouldn't pick a side immediately but would still represent the interests of the community. It's all about how you handle the issues. Being involved in the conflicts directly can have many implications, say for instance that i'm a member of the 1st (random names) and i get elected, but now i have an issue with the 2nd. Who am i more likely to take sides with, the 1st or 2nd? The point i'm trying to make is that since i'm not an active member of a regiment currently, that i wouldn't pick a side from the start, i wouldn't be bias. This is why i think NOT being a reg leader or a tournament moderator might actually be a good thing.

I'm not pointing fingers but i know of a few people who have used their positions of power in this community to help their regiment and i'm just saying that that wouldn't happen with me. Finally, i keep in touch with enough people and i know enough about what's been going on to have a good understanding of the current situation on the forums.

That doesnt give me a vote of confidence that you are gonna be active in the community, and that you can shoulder more responsibility that comes with being a CR. Thats not even including any extracurricular activity, which you are most likely involved in when you are talking about "state".

I suppose you have every right to run for CR if you so please, but you should probably ask yourself if its in your best interests.

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, absolutely.

Why should you become CR? : I have not been in the community as long in comparison to others who will most likely be submitting a form to become a CR Candidate. To be honest, I would probably be viewed as the least experienced out of the whole lot. I started out in Napoleonic Wars, exclusively, on March 15, 2015. It is rounding out to be almost a year now soon, but a year is mince meat in comparison to a lot of the other members of this community who have been a positive, growing aspect of the community. But I love playing and interacting with every individual in this community. The NA side has its squabbles here and there and sometimes we get at each other throats, but at the end of the day I genuinely believe that we are all friends or at the very least have an underlying respect for each other. Now, while I do believe this, there are still things that occur on the forums that I witness daily of individuals/groups of individuals abusing rules or acting unbecoming of a member of this community (e.g. attacking people verbally with racial slurs/very offensive imagery). And actually, I was a target of such things on a certain thread that I won't name that did end up getting locked. And even though that locked thread was punished/locked temporarily, it is now back to a normal state where they continue to post what they'd like without offending others and I even still post there to this day and go along with the camaraderie between the members of that regimental thread because even though they wronged me, I still see them as friends at heart. But I really have a passion, honestly, to just have positive vibes flow through not just the forums, but the community as well. At the end of the day, we're all people who enjoy this game to a certain standard and try to play/compete in the atmosphere in our own way. Whether it be through being in a top tier competitive NWL regiment that holds training and events daily or just being in a casual, calm regimental setting. The point being, every aspect of the community is something I hold dear (not being a weird ass hehe). I see this as a good opportunity to help pursue the goals that Duuring and others see for the NA/EU communities and put myself out there. I always try my best to go to different teamspeaks and be friendly with all the other groups present in this community and try to leave my little 63e planet  ::). And I've met a lot of great people doing so, and I will continue to do as such. I personally don't see myself being elected as a CR because there will probably be a lot more experienced individuals who sign up, but I definitely care enough about this whole community to put a portion of my thoughts and go for the position in the first place.  ;D

EDIT;

I NOMINATE LABEL

I just saw this, and to be honest if label did go for this, which I hope he does, I would want him to be our elected CR every time. Just all around a cool guy to chill with and know around the community. jk he sux.

Gluk, you say you are still connected with regiments and the community, but again, your fse stats don't really back that up. Besides, why would people chose you over someone who, say, actually DOES post in regimental/community boards?
Also, being the leader of an army no one has heard of last year isin't really a vote of confidence. Your MnB stats also back up the legitimate concerns we have with your viability.

The community representatives will carry through until BCoF too so I don't think being heavily involved within the NW community should be mandatory. After all, a new community will be created with the release of BCoF, so it's not really that important.

Also real quickly, could we get a full job description for the position? The abilities of the CR, responsibilities, what their relationship with the administration as well as FSE will entail? I'd like to know what can and can't be done before I throw myself at this like the idiot I am?

Gluk, you say you are still connected with regiments and the community, but again, your fse stats don't really back that up. Besides, why would people chose you over someone who, say, actually DOES post in regimental/community boards?
Also, being the leader of an army no one has heard of last year isin't really a vote of confidence. Your MnB stats also back up the legitimate concerns we have with your viability.
Love you nipple.
Please explain how posting in the so-called "community" board is relevant? I would rather trust a moderator who avoids posting there for his regimental/personal interest. Also posting there don't prove that you are more involved in the community than anyone else. Some people post there without posting in other parts of the forums, so I wouldn't say that those people are really involved in the forum community either.

Gluk has been continuously posting on FSE, so he has as much legitimacy as anyone else.

The CR being the Community Board Moderator and 'laison' between the organized community (the regiments) and the moderation team, involvement and activity in that community and its board would seem as a advantage to me, maybe even a requirement.

That's not to say that candidates don't have that.

In case you're wondering: I'll open the election poll on the 23th presumably in the afternoon, and they'll remain open for 72 hours, meaning they'll be open for the entirety of the 25th and most of the 26th. Then run-offs (very likely we'll have them) will then start on the afternoon of the 26th, last 48 hours, and end in the afternoon of the 28th.

I sadly can only edit the time polls last by days. Maybe we'll only go with a 48 hours first round + 48 hours second round the next time, but for now I'll keep to my original plan.

Remember that you cannot change your vote once you have voted.

Candidates may at any given time decide to cancel their candidacy; however, I will not edit the polls, so if candidates do so during the polls, bad luck for the ones who voted for them.

Why should you become CR? : I've been reporting people for the past three years with this being a testament of my "accomplishments." (https://i.imgur.com/T60jPFL.png) Throughout those three years I've been contributing to the community by adding meaningful discussions and doing my best to stay civil although I will admit I'm not a perfect person with a few minor hiccups over the years. Regardless, I hope to finally be able to put my skills to use by representing this community and helping to eliminate conflict in an otherwise peaceful, bantering society. If you want someone that's been through every rank stage, and has been through it all, then I'm more then willing to represent the North American community. Not to mention that being a CR would finally allow me to have something to show for the thousands of hours I have both in-game and on this forum.

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, absolutely.

Why should you become CR? : I have not been in the community as long in comparison to others who will most likely be submitting a form to become a CR Candidate. To be honest, I would probably be viewed as the least experienced out of the whole lot. I started out in Napoleonic Wars, exclusively, on March 15, 2015. It is rounding out to be almost a year now soon, but a year is mince meat in comparison to a lot of the other members of this community who have been a positive, growing aspect of the community. But I love playing and interacting with every individual in this community. The NA side has its squabbles here and there and sometimes we get at each other throats, but at the end of the day I genuinely believe that we are all friends or at the very least have an underlying respect for each other. Now, while I do believe this, there are still things that occur on the forums that I witness daily of individuals/groups of individuals abusing rules or acting unbecoming of a member of this community (e.g. attacking people verbally with racial slurs/very offensive imagery). And actually, I was a target of such things on a certain thread that I won't name that did end up getting locked. And even though that locked thread was punished/locked temporarily, it is now back to a normal state where they continue to post what they'd like without offending others and I even still post there to this day and go along with the camaraderie between the members of that regimental thread because even though they wronged me, I still see them as friends at heart. But I really have a passion, honestly, to just have positive vibes flow through not just the forums, but the community as well. At the end of the day, we're all people who enjoy this game to a certain standard and try to play/compete in the atmosphere in our own way. Whether it be through being in a top tier competitive NWL regiment that holds training and events daily or just being in a casual, calm regimental setting. The point being, every aspect of the community is something I hold dear (not being a weird ass hehe). I see this as a good opportunity to help pursue the goals that Duuring and others see for the NA/EU communities and put myself out there. I always try my best to go to different teamspeaks and be friendly with all the other groups present in this community and try to leave my little 63e planet  ::). And I've met a lot of great people doing so, and I will continue to do as such. I personally don't see myself being elected as a CR because there will probably be a lot more experienced individuals who sign up, but I definitely care enough about this whole community to put a portion of my thoughts and go for the position in the first place.  ;D

EDIT;

I NOMINATE LABEL

I just saw this, and to be honest if label did go for this, which I hope he does, I would want him to be our elected CR every time. Just all around a cool guy to chill with and know around the community. jk he sux.
I see you play the classic victim card even tho, we actually didn't say anything about you, you still come on our thread and start shit then when you cant handle it welp might as well report it to moderator. Your messege shows a Bias toward us even tho after the lock we did stop and now it seems you have a vendetta against us.

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
Why should you become CR? :

First of all, I want to make clear that if you vote for me, you are actually going to vote for multiple persons. I act merely as a representative.

You will, infact, be voting for the intellectual thinktank that goes by the name of “MekkilsSuperHaus” or short “MSH”.
You might know us from the super successful mod “nApoleonic wArs!111”. Yes! You have read correctly. We made the only mod in history that was so successful, that the moderation team has repeatedly removed our subforum from this Website, and all talk of it suppressed. We actually made them afraid of the impact it could have on the NW player base, as well as western culture as a whole.

Additionally, we are currently working on finishing up the next “nApoleonic wArs!111” version. We have also been spending time on a new, yet unannounced mod called “Yer a Wuzard” and obviously, we have never stopped development on our stand-alone games “spAce sAmurAi!111” and “CoD Wars”, which we are sure will leave a lasting impact on the gaming industry.

We have been creating highly professional, dynamic neo-modernistic, avant garde, non hipster, modifications and games based upon neo-platonic ideas and the input from the community (aka ourselves) for well over 4 years.
We are not only the #1 in Creative Game Design, we are also the #1 in creating new political ideologies.

This makes us the perfect choice for Community Representative. We promise that we will do everything in our power to make this forum a better, stronger and more secure place.
We have the strength to do enact the changes that you are so dearly hoping for.

Our multi-national team from Denmark, Sweden and Germany is highly skilled and will be processing every report, every request and every complaint separately.
Due to our widespread knowledge in the area of linguistics,  we will be able to process those reports, request and complaints not only in English, but also in Danish, Swedish, German, French, Catalan, Dutch, American English, Ukrainian, Maltese, Russian, C++ and Python (The language that snakes talk, not the programming language).

“MekkilsSuperHaus” will be investing lots of money and time into the most important aspects of this Forum. Mainly, Security, Regiments and Management.
Those 3 aspects are sacred to us and we will do our very best to ensure those 3 core points.

Security
Have you noticed the tone in debates on this forum? Have you noticed the amount of content less posts filling our forum? Have you, too, noticed the amount of trolls and troublemakers on this forum? Never before in history has the forum been in such a state. This are desperate times. And desperate times call for desperate moves. Only few are willing to act, but luckily, we are part of the few. We are not going to shy away from certain actions. We alone will do anything necessary to drive the evil out of the forums! Unlike other candidates, we alone have the will and courage to stand with you, and enact decisions for the betterment of us all. We alone, have the strength to take the unpopular but necessary decisions for this forum. We alone can protect the 99%.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Security, Quality and Determination for the betterment of the forum.

Regiments
With us as Community Representative, regiments will prosper. We will introduce a whole bunch of new and super creative policies that will make regiments twice strong and twice as big (actual effects may vary). We will host official events and official leagues will be introduced. Those leagues will be under direct control of the FSE leadership, to make sure that no results are rigged and that no one cheats his way up to the top, ensuring a fair and monitored playground, free of foul elements.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Solid Hierarchy, Regimental Dialogue and Stronger Regiments

Management
While “MekkilsSuperHaus” has only existed for a mere 4 years, Mikkel himself has been active in the community since before it was even founded. Yes! Thats right. Mikkel knew that NW would be released before it was announced.
Even more impressive is the fact that one of the core members of “MekkilsSuperHaus” has been part of the MM and NW community before it even existed. In fact, this very special person has not only set the foundation for this wonderful community but he has also set the foundation for this wonderful game.

What does the above mean for our position as “Community Representative”?  It means that we are not only informed about the history of the FSE community, but we also know the future of it. We can literally see into the future and therefore we can act faster than anyone else in the community could.

With an annual forum budget of 0 Euro a month, the current forum administration sees itself forced to enact a strange and cumbersome forum policy. You have probably noticed this problem before. The forum rules are very old and do not represent modern society very well. Rules that were written a hundred years ago do not apply to the modern world.
We strife to change that. We are currently in talks with FSE to increase the annual forum budget to a whole 1.1Million$ a month.
For obvious reasons, this budget would allow us to finally get rid of the old and outdated forum policies and introduce brand new policies that fit the time we life in. As well as securing us qualified leadership for the entire forum, today and in the future.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: A Better Forum.

Name: Mekkil the Graet
EU or NA?: EU, the one and only
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 do and I shall take the full brunt of any potential punishment.
Why should you become CR? :

I am Mekkil the Graet, one of the longest serving members here on this forum. I am widely known, every member with the mildest interest in our community is familiar with my name and my many contributions to it.
I am of course familiar with the community myself and so I also know of the recent CRs and the failures their terms have been. Nothing concrete have come out of them. No major changes have occurred. The real issues within our community lie unaddressed while the average forumite is bought off with minor initiatives such as the community leagues.

This needs to change. I am here to make that change happen. And it'll happen fast.
I have lead a medium sized regiment. I have hosted dozens of linebattles. I was one of the first community representatives when the first experiment went on many years ago and I was elected CR previously this very year.
I have experience. I am the man with the experience, the motivation, the skills and the will to push through the reforms needed. The reforms of the forumites.

'What reforms are these?' you ask. It is simple. All that these weak willed inexperienced kindergarten candidates have failed to do thus far. All that should have been done to improve these forums, but have remained undone. 'But Mekkil, you have been a CR yourself before. Why didn't you do this back then?' I am very glad to be able to address this issue here, before some misguided individual bring it up at a time where I may not have time to respond to it. Changes were made during my latest candidacy, but not enough. Especially the reform of the obsolete rules was something I was involved in. Change, but not enough. Reactionary elements in the top hierarchy prevented progress. I argued. I fought. But time was not on my side. Something I aim to change with this term, specifically with the help of one of my core points.

To be concrete, I aim to focus on three core areas as I did in my first term. The two first core areas I will continue to focus on, as not much have been done in my absence from office. Some of the reforms I managed to push through (even within the boundaries of my previous term) have even been rolled back in the minds of the people and moderators alike, due to the inactivity of certain forumites who've held more power than they could handle.


Security
Have you noticed the tone in debates on this forum? Have you noticed the amount of content less posts filling our forum? Have you, too, noticed the amount of trolls and troublemakers on this forum? Never before in history has the forum been in such a state. This are desperate times. And desperate times call for desperate moves. Only few are willing to act, but luckily, we are part of the few.

Regiments

We will introduce a whole bunch of new and super creative policies that will make regiments twice strong and twice as big (actual effects may vary). We will host official events and official leagues will be introduced. Those leagues will be under direct control of the FSE leadership, to make sure that no results are rigged and that no one cheats his way up to the top, ensuring a fair and monitored playground, free of foul elements.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Solid Hierarchy, Regimental Dialogue and Stronger Regiments

And finally, my new point. After observing the recent election trends, the hostile bickering, the fruitless cross debating (or should one say flame war?) between contestants and the falling interest in our political system it is clear it needs a new direction. A direction I am willing and capable of providing.

A Reformed CR System
Look around you forumites! What do you see? Do you see the forum you imagined would come with the new Community Representatives? Probably not. Most of you may even consider it a waste of time after seeing the gross inefficiency of these wanna-be administrators and community smiths sift in and out of office with nothing much to show for it. On top of reckless upstarts taking the position of CR time and time again, rampant nepotism and favoritism caused by regimental meddling and rigging of elections; you have  falling participation in elections. It is clear the system isn't working as intended. The forum deserves something better. Something more efficient. Something that yields results.
The forum deserves a system and a leader with vision. A goal.
When I win this election, I will make it my oath sworn duty to improve our electorate system, so that it will be more responsive to change and the will of the community. This reformed system will be tested and tried as soon as possible, the results of it shall prove whether or not it is worthy. I know that it will and most of you do too. There is not much left in this empty husk of a democratic system with a minuscule of voters. With few candidates willing to bear the burden. All this is not to mention the state of the dead-end debates that take place, but goes nowhere and only serve to create confusion and defame their opponents.

Ladies and gentlemen; for many months the wheel of destiny and of the impulse of our calm determination moves toward the goal. In these last hours the rhythm has increased and nothing can stop it now. We have been patient with the CRs for months. It is enough now.

A vote for Mekkil is a vote for: New Possibilities. Real Leadership.

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
Why should you become CR? :

First of all, I want to make clear that if you vote for me, you are actually going to vote for multiple persons. I act merely as a representative.

You will, infact, be voting for the intellectual thinktank that goes by the name of “MekkilsSuperHaus” or short “MSH”.
You might know us from the super successful mod “nApoleonic wArs!111”. Yes! You have read correctly. We made the only mod in history that was so successful, that the moderation team has repeatedly removed our subforum from this Website, and all talk of it suppressed. We actually made them afraid of the impact it could have on the NW player base, as well as western culture as a whole.

Additionally, we are currently working on finishing up the next “nApoleonic wArs!111” version. We have also been spending time on a new, yet unannounced mod called “Yer a Wuzard” and obviously, we have never stopped development on our stand-alone games “spAce sAmurAi!111” and “CoD Wars”, which we are sure will leave a lasting impact on the gaming industry.

We have been creating highly professional, dynamic neo-modernistic, avant garde, non hipster, modifications and games based upon neo-platonic ideas and the input from the community (aka ourselves) for well over 4 years.
We are not only the #1 in Creative Game Design, we are also the #1 in creating new political ideologies.

This makes us the perfect choice for Community Representative. We promise that we will do everything in our power to make this forum a better, stronger and more secure place.
We have the strength to do enact the changes that you are so dearly hoping for.

Our multi-national team from Denmark, Sweden and Germany is highly skilled and will be processing every report, every request and every complaint separately.
Due to our widespread knowledge in the area of linguistics,  we will be able to process those reports, request and complaints not only in English, but also in Danish, Swedish, German, French, Catalan, Dutch, American English, Ukrainian, Maltese, Russian, C++ and Python (The language that snakes talk, not the programming language).

“MekkilsSuperHaus” will be investing lots of money and time into the most important aspects of this Forum. Mainly, Security, Regiments and Management.
Those 3 aspects are sacred to us and we will do our very best to ensure those 3 core points.

Security
Have you noticed the tone in debates on this forum? Have you noticed the amount of content less posts filling our forum? Have you, too, noticed the amount of trolls and troublemakers on this forum? Never before in history has the forum been in such a state. This are desperate times. And desperate times call for desperate moves. Only few are willing to act, but luckily, we are part of the few. We are not going to shy away from certain actions. We alone will do anything necessary to drive the evil out of the forums! Unlike other candidates, we alone have the will and courage to stand with you, and enact decisions for the betterment of us all. We alone, have the strength to take the unpopular but necessary decisions for this forum. We alone can protect the 99%.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Security, Quality and Determination for the betterment of the forum.

Regiments
With us as Community Representative, regiments will prosper. We will introduce a whole bunch of new and super creative policies that will make regiments twice strong and twice as big (actual effects may vary). We will host official events and official leagues will be introduced. Those leagues will be under direct control of the FSE leadership, to make sure that no results are rigged and that no one cheats his way up to the top, ensuring a fair and monitored playground, free of foul elements.
A vote for MekkilsSuperHaus is a vote for: Solid Hierarchy, Regimental Dialogue and Stronger Regiments

Management
While “MekkilsSuperHaus” has only existed for a mere 4 years, Mikkel himself has been active in the community since before it was even founded. Yes! Thats right. Mikkel knew that NW would be released before it was announced.
Even more impressive is the fact that one of the core members of “MekkilsSuperHaus” has been part of the MM and NW community before it even existed. In fact, this very special person has not only set the foundation for this wonderful community but he has also set the foundation for this wonderful game.

What does the above mean for our position as “Community Representative”?  It means that we are not only informed about the history of the FSE community, but we also know the future of it. We can literally see into the future and therefore we can act faster than anyone else in the community could.

With an annual forum budget of 0 Euro a month, the current forum administration sees itself forced to enact a strange and cumbersome forum policy. You have probably noticed this problem before. The forum rules are very old and do not represent modern society very well. Rules that were written a hundred years ago do not apply to the modern world.
We strife to change that. We are currently in talks with FSE to increase the annual forum budget to a whole 1.1Million$ a month.
For obvious reasons, this budget would allow us to finally get rid of the old and outdated forum policies and introduce brand new policies that fit the time we life in. As well as securing us qualified leadership for the entire forum, today and in the future.

This will probably end up being a popularity contest. To stop that I think we should be posting goals/'policies' so we know peoples intentions.

Myself
- Instead of outright locking derailed discussion threads, I would reason with mods to instead just delete off topic posts.
- Allow heated banter as long as its on topic within the thread (and the language used is within the rules)
- Hear out community members who believe they were unjustly banned/muted/warned advocate for them if I come to the same conclusion

Post by: junedragon on February 20, 2016, 01:56:09 am
Good idea Grimsight.

For my part, I intend:

-To utilize various means such as individual threads and polls to facilitate community discussion on issues and to decide which of these ideas to go forward with.

-To take these ideas, predominately those approved by at least a simple majority of the community (perhaps 60% or a full 2/3rd majority for the most important issues), and present them to the mods/FSE in an organized, impartial, and constructive manner.

-To closely observe the happenings of the community and help formulate strategies to deal with situations that arise, using the community mod section to discuss and build upon or even outright reject (if the community disagrees with my own interpretation) these ideas.

-To see if any inroads can be made toward cutting out the cancerous elements that are dragging down the community whilst treating all community members fairly.

- * To explore with the community its opinion on serial trolls/tumors and how many chances (eg. unbans) they should be given to change their ways (and to further discuss this concept with mods).

-As with Grim, to create a thread where friends of those who have been banned or otherwise sanctioned can plead their case (or for those poor banned souls who have no friends to facilitate directly contacting me with their appeals) - I would decide whether to advance these petitions to the mods on a case-by-case basis, having considered the pertinent facts.

-To petition the mods not to outright delete threads, especially regimental ones, unless it is absolutely necessary

-To investigate for myself and to ask its members for ideas on how the mods/FSE can better support the community, so that I may organize these thoughts and pass them forward.

-To discuss with the mods the possible clarification of some rules as well as how we can ensure the rules are enforced impartially, transparently and consistently.

-To always remain impartial - no matter what history/relations I have with you, I will give no preference to any member of the community while acting in this official capacity - nor will I represent anyone any less vigorously if we have had a negative relationship (although there are almost none of you that I have had a bad experience with as far as I know).

-To avoid taking unilateral action of any kind wherever possible, but rather to continuously serve as an impartial, transparent, and open-minded voice of the community.


* By "trolls", I'm not talking about you dank memers and shitposters -  I'm talking about those who do nothing but start drama and flame wars, get muted again and again before finally getting banned, then get unbanned and repeat.

I like this idea,

- I would work closely with the moderator staff to make sure that they act in the community's best interests and views.
- I would consider the ideas of the community presented and i would make a case to the moderator staff if need be
- I make this promise that i will read and respond to EVERY formal request/complaint/idea
- I would bridge the community gaps between the moderators and the community as well as resolve conflicts that arise within regiments/events

My campaign is primarily about bridging the gaps that have separated this community for far too long. This is a wonderful online community, the best i've ever been apart of, however i notice constantly the divide between regiments, the divide between individuals, the divide between the community and the moderators, this is all the awful truth of our community. By bridging these gaps, not only do we have a much better and healthy community that would lead the way for BCoF but it would also allow the community more representation and say with what happens on the forums. The first sign of this is the fact that we are having an election at all.

My question to all the candidates running in NA is this: If someone who repeatedly breaks the rules time and time again gets unmuted time and time again yet by this time they should be banned, what is your game plan on enforcing this policy?  Do you want to ensure that people are deterred and are punished for wrongdoings or are you a more forgiving person?

It depends on the severity of the offense, and if I felt they were warned properly.

I consider myself a relatively forgiving person, but I see mutes as a warning. If you get muted, its quite clear you should rethink what/where you are posting and maybe consider why you are being muted. If you dont, and you make the same mistake over and over again, you should get banned. Not being stupid is not that hard, like in my ~3000 posts ive only been warned twice (including the warning i currently have), and I have never been muted.

However if the person has done something relatively minor and got muted for it, like Godfreid, I probably would view a ban as way too harsh. I think bans should be a deterrent to people actively seeking to shitpost/troll others, and not for the occasional passionate word/off topic post.

EDIT: I should say though, I dont think this position is just another moderator that you can elect. It seems to me that the position is more about being a a representative of the communities interests among the mods, and less about actually going around and banhammering people. For example, for that incident about a month or so ago when Shadow locked the NACL thread, youd be the guy to walk up to the mods and be like "The fuck, bro?" (which is what me and Grim did)

Why should you become CR? : I have been part of this forum since April 2013, and have been playing NW/M&M since 2012. I have been in many regiments, most of them were good experiences. I've had many experiences with regiment rivalries. I know how to solve problems and be "diplomatic" in difficult situations. I'm open to discussions and criticism. I'm trust worthy and loyal, those that know me, know it. I'm active on the forums, some boards more than others, but I always look at them all. I don't have a need to post everywhere as some do, that's why some of you may not know me that much, but the CR doesn't need to be the most popular person on FSE, but the most trust worthy.

I think it's important to seek the guidance of someone like Duuring just to see what they have to say. In terms of myself, I think it's important to show understanding of where someone is coming from with their arguments but we also have to set an example and if someone repeatedly shows that they are incapable of using the forums in a peaceful manner then they will have to be dealt with accordingly. In terms of deterrents I think it's best to start with a either a verbal or small percent for a petty crime but then elevate it if they continue to break that rule. An example is spamming.

As I said in my earlier post, this is one of the issues I would really like to address with the community at large. Especially considering this position is designed to act as a representative of the overall NW playerbase, I feel it would be particularly unwise to take any sort of unilateral action on an issue as important as this (considering it permanently affects both the banned individuals and all their friends in the community). The community should at least be consulted before the representative approaches the mods with suggestions for changes.

I also feel its important to note that the rep is just a bridge between players and mods, we have no final say and may only plead our/the community's case to the mods.

As for my personal beliefs:

1) I believe some individuals have been treated with much more leniency than they deserve (and that mods have been somewhat inconsistent with who show leniency to and how much they show).

2) I do not support an overly simplified "3 mutes = ban" or anything like that simply because it does not take into account the severity of the offences. I'd  be in favour of asking the mods for a clearly defined and publicized table of punishment (eg. 60 warning points for pyramids, 100 for the worst offences, etc.) - from there we can work something more flexible/considerate out (eg. 200 points including at least 3 mutes/warnings accumulated = ban)

3) I believe a maximum of 1 unban should ever be allowed to an individual, and that any unbanned member should be walking on thin ice. For instance, I do not agree with a recent mod decision where an unbanned individual was muted within one day of their return, subsequently unmuted, sanctioned again a few days later, and was still not re-banned. (yet someone else returning from a ban was immediately re-banned for practically the same offence - and we come back to my earlier point on moderation consistency). If you demonstrate that you are only here to troll and start petty drama, after having been afforded several opportunities to stop, you have no place in this comunity.

TSP: Official statement regarding the deleted post.


Dear users of FSE, dear moderators, dear friends!

Yesterday our great post was deleted due to "Copyright infringement". To make this clear: The TSP has in no way intentionally infringed any copyright. We do not see any reason for the moderator's action. So, what is the reason? I tell you: fear. The TSP has forwarded the idea of a "Court of Appeal", where users can appeal for an unban or unmute in a polite way. The current policy telling muted users to contact a moderator via PM is complete nonsense as the PM-System can't be used when muted. The TSP wants to address this matter, although some moderators do not like the idea of giving people the chance to appeal.
When asking for the real reason that caused the removal of our post, we ran into a wall of silence. No moderator wanted to give a statement or inform the people what actually happened.
For us the matter is clear: A moderator has deleted the post in order to stop our efforts in bringing justice to everyone in FSE. Equal rights for everyone, including the right to appeal a moderator's decision, seem to be not wanted by those men. That's the true reason.

But we will not stop our efforts in making this community a better place. We will continue.

Yes, we can make FSE great again!

Vote the TSP with Ted as candidate for Community Representative!

Also just to note, Ketchup you are a decent guy and shit, and John Price is probably as well. But that doesn't mean you would make good Community reps. For example Norwegian, the 19te guy, never had a scrap with anybody, and has a very good way of dealing with anyone. However acting spontaneously and starting a conflict out of thin air would make one a very Unjust community rep.

2. When in a bad mood I might not be just at all times and have my moments where I take offense to things too personally. And because of that I wouldn't make a good community rep.

Also I ain't youtube famous m8 19 subs barely makes me a Youtube channel kek.

Yep the days when I was constantly stressed because I led a regiment with over 20 attendance at each event. So I did act like a bit of a cunt I will admit.

Ted, I think you're a great guy but, to be frank, your 'campaign' doesn't really convince me you're either serious about this or will be able to do the job. The CR is part of the moderation team and a constructive attitude towards the team is a requirement.

These 'campaigns' are unnecessary. We need someone who has the trust of the organized community, not someone who makes funny pictures or silly promises.
Title: Re: First election - List of candidates & Discussion (March-April Term)
Post by: Ted on February 21, 2016, 02:23:01 pm
Yes, I am serious.

Name: Ted
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? :
  Yes

Why should you become CR? :
If you want work to be done well I am your man! I've proofen myself as trustworthy member of this community. My efforts in destroying the Betty-Regiment lead to the foundation of the Global Banlist as well as eventually the destruction of the Betty-Regiment and him disappearing from NW. I have been Admin of ~40 servers over my four years of M&B experience, with 3 years as member of the NW-community. I currently am Admin of Jailbreak and Tropical_Paradise, working for the best of you and the whole community.

I have forwarded the idea of a "Court of Appeal", where users can appeal for an unban or unmute in a polite way. The current policy telling muted users to contact a moderator via PM is complete nonsense as the PM-System can't be used when muted. I wish to address this matter - and I need your support! Vote for Ted!

You got a fair point there, yes.


But I in fact am serious. The campaign is just to show that I am putting effort into this and am not like "Oh let's apply for this position by writing one sentence".


I really am trying to forward the idea of a "Court of Appeal", where users can appeal for an unban or unmute in a polite way. The current policy telling muted users to contact a moderator via PM is complete nonsense as the PM-System can't be used when muted. It's hilarious to tell people to contact a moderator via PM in order to appeal, although the PM-System isn't avaliable for muted users. This matter needs to be solved.

That is not remotely true. You know why your post got deleted. You copied a part from Mikkels "speech" without giving him credit or asking for his permission.
You also did not contact me about the issue, therefore your 2nd statement is not true either. You ran into a wall of silence because you didn't even try to contact me.

I'm a little confused whether Mikkel, Ted and StevenChilton are serious candidates.
Olafson removed your post probably because it was so similair to Mikkel's joke candidacy.

Oh Duuring! You of all should know I would not put so much effort into a mere joke. Therefore, I am glad that I have (finally) been added to the candidate list.

These 'campaigns' are unnecessary. We need someone who has the trust of the organized community, not someone who makes funny pictures or silly promises.
Whilst in no position to argue, I'd like to point out that funny images is what creates this trust. And these images are used in national elections the world over to win elections. Elections that effect millions of people to a much higher degree than an election for an internet forum candidate does.

Users normally can't set gifs as profilepicture or signature. You can only do that by abusing moderator-rights or circumventing the technical feature.

My old name has a lot of bad history with me acting spontaneously and innapropriately.  So I decided to change it to my old name that I used when I Was like 12 or something. Also just to note, Ketchup you are a decent guy and shit, and John Price is probably as well. But that doesn't mean you would make good Community reps. For example Norwegian, the 19te guy, never had a scrap with anybody, and has a very good way of dealing with anyone. However acting spontaneously and starting a conflict out of thin air would make one a very Unjust community rep.
The only "scrap" we ever had was because you were calling my members retards out of the blue. Me telling you to stop that was what got me banned of FSE in the firstplace.

Information - Only an informed man is a good man!


What does the TSP stand for?

The Ted's Super Party stands for Security and Justice for FSE.

We are forwarding the idea of a "Court of Appeal", where users can appeal for an unban or unmute in a polite way. The current policy telling muted users to contact a moderator via PM is complete nonsense as the PM-System can't be used when muted. It's hilarious to tell people to contact a moderator via PM in order to appeal, although the PM-System isn't avaliable for those users. This matter needs to be solved - and we will do it!

Security is another very important matter. Ted has proofen being capable of handling security by forwarding the destruction of the Betty-Regiment. Betty has disappeared from NW - because Ted fought and destroyed him. He has also proofen himself trustworthy as admin of ~40 servers - who else can look back on an admincareer as great as  this?

Marketing Manager OttoFIN stands for high standards as well, supplying the TSP with ideas and slogans to make this campaign a good one!

Our supporters are spread all over the NW-community, with a focus on the adminteams and playerbase of Jailbreak and Tropical Paradise.


The TSP stands for high security standards and justice - Yes, we can make FSE great again! Vote Ted!

I'm guessing that he was hoping that people would actually take this a bit seriously, not just evolve into making ridicoulous campaigns. I mean, sure they're fun and all, but there needs to be a line as to how far "fun" can go for a position that actually is supposed to be serious.

The way I see it, the only candidates with a shot of winning are those taking it seriously anyway, so the memes and shitposting aren't really a problem.

All the trolls, like the ones spamming the whole forum with messages, probably don't have a shot at winning.

Besides, I'd much prefer a CR who could take a joke (or even better, make a joke) over a robocop who patrols the community.

Why did you expect this to be taken with any sort of seriousness? Besides, I already know like two people who are running who all have 2-3 regiments voting for them. It's a joke, it'll always be a joke, end of. Also just look at the people who are running, that should explain why it's even more funny. Most of them were gone for ages some are just people who want to be edgy and ban people. And then there's the autismo's like Ted.


Again I already know from one of the candidates they just want to ban as many people for no reason. But I'm not going to name shame, just realize this is a joke, and it'll always be a joke unless stated otherwise and the Mods actually cared to keep it serious.

Ok so think of it like this. If a riot happens it isn't the police who needs to calm it down, It's the people? No. You and the other moderators are aloud to keep this serious, don't for all I care. And I don't go around and call the mods useless compared to some other people so don't think I'm blaming you or anyone else for this being stupid beyond belief.  It's more entertaining this way so keep it like this for all I care durring. :^)

Don't worry though. If this ends up in a big joke, I'll just cancell the project (even though I really don't want to) and go on being the remote dictator I always was.

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=29198.msg1288173#msg1288173 - my intentions/platform

Further I have been continuously active since 2013 and, regarding candidates just wanting to be edgy and ban people, I have been an official server (NA_1) admin since 2014 and haver even remotely abused powers.

I also don't have the full backing of regiments to my benefit so frankly I doubt I'll win, but I'm in this solely because I really want to make this work.

That said, while some candidates certainly havent been serious enough, I feel its important to note that mods should have a sense of humour. You're not going to get very far having discussions with the players youre supposed to be representing if you go about like you have a stick up your ass and cant handle some humour/shitposting. Hopefully the successful candidate knows how to be both serious and humorous where appropriate.

Not to be rude or anything, but is there a block button or something to stop the people who keep "replying all" on purpose to mass spam everyone on the PM you sent everyone? It's now pretty annoying that I get like 6 spammed PMs every 2 hours.

'Someone' decided to sent a 'campaign PM' to a bunch of people. Please don't.

Duuring noticed that aswell. So I don't think you'll get any more of those messages. And if you don't want to get more PM's from him, you can put him on your ignore list.

Everything was going fine until Mikkel showed up.

As I said noone is taking this thing seriously at all and there's one good reason for that, this community. Everywhere it's a joke, ingame, on the forums, Everywhere. Why did you expect this to be taken with any sort of seriousness? Besides, I already know like two people who are running who all have 2-3 regiments voting for them. It's a joke, it'll always be a joke, end of. Also just look at the people who are running, that should explain why it's even more funny. Most of them were gone for ages some are just people who want to be edgy and ban people. And then there's the autismo's like Ted.
Now now Liam, no reason to get all mad and uppity. I do intend to take this very seriously. I put my own goddamn face on these banners and wrote a text so long you clearly didn't have the attention span for it.

As for Ted, well... He's Ted.

Mad? I don't even know what you've been doing and frankly I don't care I just see it as a cesspool of autism. And quite frankly it doesn't matter how good you say you are for this "position" it's about the quantity of voters, there's a extension on chrome that you can auto refresh every 5 minutes if you wish so people can leave that on over night, and Voilà you have a whole regiment of spergs who can vote.

Good luck anyway, bud. And I agree, Ted is a bit of a spastic.

Again I already know from one of the candidates they just want to ban as many people for no reason. But I'm not going to name shame, just realize this is a joke, and it'll always be a joke unless stated otherwise and the Mods actually cared to keep it serious.

I've been taking it seriously, you think I would take the time to write posts like these if I wasn't lol?

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=29198.msg1288739#msg1288739 - re: banning policy

https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=29198.msg1288173#msg1288173 - my intentions/platform

Further I have been continuously active since 2013 and, regarding candidates just wanting to be edgy and ban people, I have been an official server (NA_1) admin since 2014 and haver even remotely abused powers.

I also don't have the full backing of regiments to my benefit so frankly I doubt I'll win, but I'm in this solely because I really want to make this work.

That said, while some candidates certainly havent been serious enough, I feel its important to note that mods should have a sense of humour. You're not going to get very far having discussions with the players youre supposed to be representing if you go about like you have a stick up your ass and cant handle some humour/shitposting. Hopefully the successful candidate knows how to be both serious and humorous where appropriate.

June I will admit I was a bit of a cunt when I said everyone but as you know there is a lot of people who are just doing this for the banter. Anyway, I wish you good luck on your campaign you beautiful NA.

Everything was going fine until Mikkel showed up. And because he's friends with Olafson (who has mod powers) I'm basically powerless. The only way I can keep things fair at that stage is accepting similair behavior from the others.

So it is a mods fault?

After reading all of this I wonder if I should be happy or sad I wasn't around in the old days. Does make me wonder how this is panning out compared to back in the day though.

Naw the old days were full of 100+ page threads bemoaning the giant behemoth Kingdom that is Ur-Fossail and all the unwieldy power it weld, and how to siphon said power into lesser beings in the community, who where in-turn corrupted by wielding such power, and as such became thralls of the unstoppable growing void that was the Ur-Fossail.

Until one day, a bright and shiny hope arrived with his rugged band of compatriots, to rid the land of the evil kingdom!  Led by Lord Rogerstram of Grumwild, along with his sworn brothers Sir Figgit, Sir Pudulie, Sir Hupple and actual brothers Lord Herrorferd and Lord Furrioso the Mediocre, they dared to form an army in the desperate hope that a large contingent of stalwart defenders could muster the courage of the populous!  Storm the gates and re-take Ur-Fossail for the people!

Lord Rogerstam of Grumwild himself held the largest force of 200 rambunctious footmen, at least half were untrained but willing to put their lives on the line for something they believed in.  Lord Rogerstam stood tall upon his scarred black steed, easily standing out in the middle of his crowd of men with his rock-hard jaw line and shock-white hair flowing freely in the crisp autumn wind.  Sir Figgit and Sir Hupple each had 40 heavy infantry, with Sir Pudulie himself only 20, but they were the most skilful veterans in the army, trained by their very commander for such an occassion.  Lord Herroferd, a wiry man of cultured breeding and harpsicord virtuoso took control of the mounted knights, roughly 25 strong riders.  Lord Furrioso refused any men, but standing at 7'1 with a youthful swagger and musclebound from head to toe, he himself was worth 10 men, and preferred  to freelance on the field of battle on his white speckled Clydesdale warhorse, whom he had affectionately named "Penelope".


They formed in the command tent that fateful night to break bread before shedding blood on the morrow.  Deep in their cups, the leaders of the New Path built up their reputations with tales of their own bravery and adventures.  Sir Figgit bragged of downing three men with naught but a tree branch that was struck by an errant bolt of lightning after losing his sword in the Bulza stream at the Battle of Bulza.  Lord Furrioso told of the time he wrestled a hippopotamus for the rights to its watering hole.  Sir Figgit seemed to drink it all in from the shadows, sipping slowly from his frothy mug.  After much courageous braggadocio, Sir Hupple himself swore to be the first upon the battlements of the looming walls across the barren field. 

Swollen with pride and heroic visions, they settled into a serious mood as the night rolled onwards, hurtling towards what would surely be their last for at least some of the men in that fateful tent.

Moving large avatars and figurines across the detailed battle map, a large tattered parchment held down by its corners with  heavy rocks and a bronze dagger, Sir Pudulie softly spoke (as he was wont to do, his overgrown wispy mustache cascading gently with breath pulsing from his thin, chapped lips) of a weakspot in the castles rear.  Built against a towering mountain, the stronghold of Ur-Fossail was ominous, yet Pudulie suggested that his team of specialists armed only in chainmail and climbing gear and dressed in the garb of the guards of Ur-Fossail would be able to scale the mountains East face, and descend the unguarded mountain during the battle.  Unnoticed during the heat of battle, Sir Pudulie and his valiant troop would then assault to the south gate from the rear, dispatch the befuddled guards and open the doorway to victory.

Without catapults or heavy siege structures, the leaders of the New Path begrudgingly agreed to this somewhat un-chivalrous tactic of subterfuge.  For the meat of the plan still centered on the slaughter and sorrow that would surely manifest itself upon the field of battle.  Drawing the enemy away from the safety of it's walls and onto the battlefield.  Yet, it all hinged precariously upon to vanity and pride of the only two men who mattered in all of Ur-Fossail. 

King Ur-Dalfur III, and his twin brother Prince Ur-Dalfur the IV, whom to even the most casual observer would note, were unerringly close.  But only in hushed whispers amongst the most trusted of friends.  The reason for this being; King Ur-Dalfur III and Prince Ur-Dalfur the IV were Siamese twins, and were indeed “connected at the hip”.
