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?:

Although I may still be classed as a "Newgen" to the community, I believe that I've been around long enough that people know who I am and know what I'm like. I know I am an outgoing and likeable person, obviously I've had disagreements and don't deny that, but I have only ever been fair and respecting of people. I believe the CR should be someone that you should be able to report any issue to and be a supporting figure and I know that I have the correct skills to be this person.

I won't say that I'm the friendliest in the community but I'm definitely up there as one of them and go out of my way to help people as much as I can in the community. I pride myself on my approachability and I'm always open to chat to people and offer help or assistance whenever or wherever it is required.
As part of the 92nd, a regiment that I've been in since I got into the regimental scene, I rebuilt and re-established our light company and creating a mini-community of its own that thrives and hopefully will thrive for as long as this great game lasts. I can use this experience and the skills I learned to advise and support anyone, mainly newer regiments into keeping themselves afloat and active as their own mini communities.

I've already helped support the community by hosting some servers for tournaments, EIC and NWWC being the biggest tournaments as well as community projects as WBMM and I don't have any plans of stopping anytime soon! The community can only ever be as good as the infrastructure is and I aim to provide the best infrastructure possible. I have only ever wanted the community to flourish and I don't play competitively enough to warrant hosting, hosting servers for far more competent hosts is a small thing that I can do to help as well as encourage people to play the game.
I’m quite a laid back person and although I’d have certain moderation duties to carry out, I would never abuse this or use the power to my own advantage, I would also hold myself accountable if any misdeeds were to happen that I was involved in.

What are one or two things you commit to doing as CR this term?

As I’ve touched on in the above question, I have hosted a few servers for the community and as CR I will go further with this. I must say, if I don’t get CR, I will still provide servers for the community, they are not mutually exclusive but I would use the CR post as a shout-box to make as many people aware that these servers are here. 
For the casual side of the community, I will edit my rules on hosting linebattle servers and will host as many as possible in both locations. I will still provide groupfighting teams and smaller regimental servers as well if they are required. I will offer full mod and technical support to those who use one of my servers and will be only a steam message away and will provide as much support as I possibly can. These 2 server boxes are absolutely huge and being in a position to offer servers in France as well as Germany will only be beneficial.

For the competitive side of the community, I will provide servers for as many tournaments as I can with no limitations or anything. These can be for one night groupfighting tournaments or events that go on for a while like NWWC and EIC. This would be my way of supporting the competitive side as I previously said, I don’t play enough competitively to actually host or act like an expert on this side of the community. I will take a step back and allow the comp side of the community to handle themselves like I know they can and have done so and will continue to do so.

Although public side of NW is a bit dead and the regimental scene is where most of the community plays, if anyone has an idea of a public server or ran one in NWs prime and wishes to bring it back, I can and will support that endeavour as much as possible and will provide a server and support to anyone who wishes to pursue this.
To conclude, NW can feel like a toxic cesspit at times and as CR, I’m not promising to completely overhaul that but if I can do my little bit to help clear up that mess and be a friendly face that people can depend on, I would consider that a success.

This man is a weaboo. But he's a cute weaboo. Has me vote

So a quick summary from what Unicorn has said in his long book.
He opens his wallet and provides servers for NW tournaments and etc.

I expected more Aidan Unicorn!

Tbf the servers are good quality just tend to crash a lot

Tbf the servers are good quality just tend to crash a lot

Well a lot is an over statement really, it hardly happens and its mainly due to NW itself

Perhaps it’s just my own personal experience, but on Tuesday mid EIC round the server crashed as well and we had to change to the FRA server  - that I must admit was better for us

Another example of 45thN_Spy_Unicorn working his magic   

[Scottish Unicorn]

On Tuesday, the server box crashed. it went down for 12 hours and was back up early hours of Wednesday. That was the first and only time that the box went down because I don't count yesterday tbh. The box has been running for 6 months and that's the only time that its happened.

I've only ever heard good things about the servers and I would say once in 6 months isn't a lot. Just been a bad week for me I'm afraid.

Let's not turn this into another thread for me to advertise on
