Title: Fifth Election (November-December term) - Candidates and discussion
Post by: Thunderstormer on October 28, 2016, 12:04:25 am
Duuring at any time can change this.  I will give this till the Nov 1st before i lock in who can run and put up the thread for people to vote in.

if i see a troll app, i wont add it.   Consider this your warning.   I'll try and update the op daily, other mods can update it as well. 

candidate format
Name:
EU or NA?:
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? :
Why should you become CR? :

Candidates EU:
Munj
Spoiler
Name: Munj

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?: As an individual I feel that I am relatively impartial to most regiments and people, which means that I am in a good position to moderate the EU community from a somewhat neutral point of view. During my time in the community I have had contact with an array of EU personalities, whether they be regimental leaders/members, or simply freelance NW players. Such interactions have given me experience in dealing and communicating with a variety of diverse and unique people.

My administration experience is extensive, with a history of participating as a referee in various reputable tournaments, such as the RGL or NWL. Not to mention my current administration responsibilities on several high population public servers. These administration qualities further support my claim that I have a good understanding as to how to properly and justly manage public communities, regardless of size.

My role in the 63e, brings me into regular contact with my North American counterparts and I would argue that I have been exposed to the NA community more than most other potential candidates, which is obviously beneficial when it comes to cross-community relations.

Finally I would like to add that I consider myself to be an objective, empathetic and generally civil individual who doesn't let emotions in the way of responsibility and would represent the EU community with dignity.

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? : We are all aware that the community is slowly but surely dying with each passing month. Being an event host, i try as much as i can to pump enthusiasm into it. The reason i decided to run was to accomplish these goals,
1. Get people more active in the game.
2. (likely the most important) Bring back NA1!!! NA1 was the lifeblood of what made this game so popular. I'm not even exaggerating, for a long time all newcomers (for NA ofc) would go to NA1. Now it's completely empty and everyone is going to servers who are controlled by regiments who prevent recruiting. I'll delve into more detail as to how i'm going to accomplish this later on.
3. Bring more regiments to the game as well as getting them active on the forums. This has been a problem for a while, there have been less and less 'new' regiments. When i say new, i don't mean a rehash of an old reg. We need new regiments, with new players to keep this thing going. It sounds impossible but it's not!
4. Promote more events. Events are what keeps this community going and by promoting current events (whose attendance has been dropping) as well as new events, it would surely put life back into this community.

To whoever wins this election, i would like to ask them to incorporate at least my first 2 points into their platform.

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 aware.
Why should you become CR? : To help myself answer this and organize my answer I will just put it in a list format

1. I have a good abundance of time I can dedicate to the community - For the most part I don't normally do a lot of things outside of school and being at home, so I have almost all of the free-time in the world to dedicate myself to the community as well as other things inside the community. (Ie: I'm able to juggle multiple things at once)

2. I love working on big projects such as this and overall having something to focus on - Whether it be a Girlfriend or making bhop maps I constantly need big things to focus on or else I go insane. If you look at the timeline of when I returned to NW (yes, i used to play back in 2014 and 2015) back in July you will see that I periodically do somewhat large things. From July to early September I was practically playing 5+ hours a day, just to improve myself. I went from around 230 hours, to 400+ hours in that time span. After that I hosted the 5v5 GF league, then shortly after that I decided to make my own regiment and now this (if i'm elected). These kinds of things give me something "productive" to do.

3. I don't mind dealing with people's problems - I think most people can agree with me on this, that dealing with others problems gets really tiresome and annoying after awhile. However for the most part I can normally deal with these problems and try to reach a consensus, whether it'd be a dispute between a mod and a forum member, or two regiment leaders.

4. I believe I have the skills to be a good and proper CR - Obviously anybody running for CR thinks this about themselves but as I have hopefully proved before, I have decent/good leadership skills, communication skills and problem-solving skills. (sorry trying to be modest :p)

5. I hate being involved with drama myself - That doesn't mean I can't deal with it, but personally I don't like to troll or be rude. Of course bantering is fun and all but passed that I try to be on everyone's good side, even people I don't politically agree with !

What I plan on doing with CR if I am elected:

1. Try and populate the NA_Assault server with people.

2. Try to host "Recruiting drives" where I contact small regs to help populate the server and try to recruit new people. Most likely one reg Friday night, Saturday Night and possibly Sunday Night (nothing confirmed yet, mostly brainstorming at this point)

3. This is a bit far-fetched and probably unrealistic, but try to recruit youtubers such as Pixelated Apollo and other youtubers alike him to populate the server and spark interest in it, just so that these Recruiting drives can get alot of people on them.

4. Work with the previous CRs and really anyone trying to pitch in and give advice/help.

5. Ensure that the community stays somewhat toxic and drama-free.

thanks for reading this wall of text

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. 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

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.

Forum users,

For the past two months  had the privilege of being your CR. I ran just before going off to study. Unfortunately, I have underestimated just how busy I would be during the weekends (in which I am 'free') - I had hoped I could have gotten more work done. This unfortunately wasn't the case and that is why I have been unable to do as much as I wanted, and promised.
I did solve a number of indivudual cases and minor forum ones, but I have not been able to set up my network of regiments as I hoped.

I would like to apologise for this. I have not met my promises and this damages the credibility of the position of CR.

It is also because of this, I will not run for the November-December turn. However, I know for a fact that when the new year starts, I will be more active on this forum and may then consider running again.

No, I really don't.
I'd love to be able to say it's just me being retarded, but knowing the administration there's a more likely reason. I got elected on a majority vote last time with a similar program and a similar forum image campaign. What has changed since then?

See forumites? This is why I take this responsibility upon my shoulders. The administration is censoring our elections! We must have change!

Down with weebs. Long live Apoc
Ap0c literally asked me to run this election. In my opinion though, Ap0c was the best community rep we've had.

Let's rally around a candidate that isn't Gluk

Ah yes, let's not vote for someone because you personally don't like their political beliefs ;) lov u theo.
I'm not voting for you because I don't trust your short fuse with post removal powers. Nor do I think your views are in line with what the community needs. But okay. That works.

I'll help build up the North American tournaments, and make it so that after a certain period of time, someone else can run it if the previous host has not publicly said anything about it.

you know why.  you can cut the act.
No, I really don't.
I'd love to be able to say it's just me being retarded, but knowing the administration there's a more likely reason. I got elected on a majority vote last time with a similar program and a similar forum image campaign. What has changed since then?

See forumites? This is why I take this responsibility upon my shoulders. The administration is censoring our elections! We must have change!

I can see the edits of posts.  I can see all the edits on the post you made on your app.  i saw the crap(that broke forum rules) that was put into your post after i added it to the op.  I know you removed a bunch of the crap that was in said post after i removed it from the list.  unless you are going to tell me someone else who had access to your account deleted it. 

like i said in the op, i wasn't going to put troll apps in.  why would i link an app that broke forums rules?  in any case, the administration is not to blame for what happened to your app.(and imo, i believe you know this)

if you want to talk about it more, send me a pm.

I plan to work with the community to try and repopulate NA1. Basically im going to ask the mods if they will let me host public events in NA1 with their approval and supervision. I have other plans for my other points but im at work so i cant really go too deep into it.

Theo, i respect your opinion but im telling you with all honesty that this is not about mod power and i will likely never use it besides in the shoutbox. This is about reviving the community.

NA1 stopped hosting public events because people stopped coming. It literally just happened.

 What ever happened to Apocs server? Last time I checked it had 0 people despite everyone saying that they would populate it. populating a server is harder than you think.

Also I think you will stop playing NW once the 58e disbands

Post by: Gluk the Walrus on October 30, 2016, 02:02:55 am
The point my dear child is to try. Also i haven't heard about any NA1 events in a long time so i would amount that to a failure in advertising. It takes more to advertise an event than just posting a thread on the forum. I have people willing to help me put it on so that alone is a start. More traction on NA1 can only be beneficial to the community.

Also, when the 58e disbands, ill have to search for a new home or possibly make my own regiment. I like hosting events and i intend on hosting more in the future with or without a reg. I can assure you that i won't be leaving.

It is true. I did ask Gluk to run a while back.

Hear me out as to why.

What we need is someone who is will bring the community back.

Candidates like me who are just popular memeleers won't really cut it; All I really did was start a couple threads and do a bunch of talking on the forums. All my efforts to get new players actively involved in the game failed.

We need a candidate that will host events and that will get more people involved in the community. I think Gluk could do it, he seems to me like someone who would actually make an effort of doing just that. I also thought BabyJ would be a good choice until he dropped (I think), as I saw him also trying to get some events started. I would say Godfreid would be a good candidate, however I believe he has been pretty inactive, so I am not confident he would get the job done. Orcaryo is abit of a wild card to me - great guy, but he has never been the most active on the forums, and I am not sure if he would get events started. If we were voting for refs though, he is easily one of the most experienced out there, but I have no clue how well he would do as a rep.

So I wouldn't trash Gluk. He seems like a good person, behind all those communist memes he spews. He has been active on the forums recently, and he has been trying to get events started. I think him being CR could easily go well.

So I will endorse Gluk, and BabyJ if he is still running.

Here's the thing tho. You don't need to be a CR to host an event on NA1. CRs are strictly for the forums. If you really want to host an event, just go talk to thinderstormer. I'm sure he would appreciate the help

For some reason everyone thinks being CR is about saving the community when in fact it is about improving the forums.

Well define "improving the forums".

The only thing I did forum wise was start a couple threads. I could have done that easily without CR powers.

I did try to keep the 71st thread from getting locked and their members from getting muted, but I ultimately failed at that.

What CAN be done to improve the forum is get more people involved in the game, which gets more people involved here on FSE, which improves the forum as a whole. NW and FSE are two sides of the same coin.

The NA1 lb died due to school mainly(3-4 regs more or less dropped because of it), as that chopped the #s by a 3rd, tho some weeks we still had pretty good attendance.  The last week we had about 50, but the key server went down so people couldn't join, the 63e decided to leave, losing about 10 people, and 2 other regs that had a bunch of people there before the event left right when it was about to start, each having 5-10.   If they all stayed, it wouldn't have been that bad # wise.

but overall the #s were lower the weeks prior, and the pubs were making up more and more of the % of the pop.(30-40 pubs more often than not.)    So there were a few times they made up almost an entire team by the end of the lb.   Now, it sounds good, and mostly was, but that is a lot of pubs who don't know anything in regards to making a line.  and with fewer lines taking up pop and less lines to set an example. they were harder to wrangle. 

as for the lb itself, i made a post in the thread on how to bring it back.  pub wise the #s were about where i would like, and those are harder to inform about the event taking place.(where as a reg can easily find out about it and other stuff)  in the end, it was the reg side of the event where it fell apart.  Not enough regs or not enough people with said regs made it in the end.

as for advertising, i have always said it is on you, the community; to advertise for it and get other regs to join in.  i didn't make the event for me, nor was i going to go around begging people to come.  The event was made so pubs could play on a good server, regs could use it to recruit pubs, to help keep na1 populated, and finally just have an enjoyable experience on the game.(and it provided plenty of laughs)  if half the people here on the forums whining about the monopolies other servers have on recruiting supported the event, it would still being going. 

and i put the next lb date/time in the title of the lb thread.(people still couldn't figure out when it was)

What the CR is supposed to actually do is very limited (atleast from what I've heard). The CRs are suppose to stop arguments, help with forum rules, and discuss forum bans. Pretty serve as the communities voice to the mod team

BabyJ, youre right as to what the community rep is supposed to do, but i think what makes someone a good rep is going beyond what's simply required to do the job. Obviously if i were the rep i would do all of those things but i would also actively try and revive the community which imo starts with NA1. Why do i need to be rep to do that? Technically i don't BUT if elected community rep, it would give me so much more validity. Once apoc was elected, people took him so much more seriously even though he's mostly a top kek memer.

My "enemies" are people from the politics thread that somehow think that i hate them so they show their anger back in the competitive side which i think is silly. What i post in the politics thread in no reflects how i behave in the competitive community. People who i argue against in the politics thread are sometimes people that i respect and admire within their own communal inputs such as you theo.

If you really see me as an 'enemy' then im sorry to you or anyone else who does because i think it's silly. I haven't really done anything in the community (outside of the politics thread) to warrant people's hatred. Everything i've done only had the best thoughts in mind.

Name: Aurum
EU or NA?: NA
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 aware.
Why should you become CR? : To help myself answer this and organize my answer I will just put it in a list format

1. I have a good abundance of time I can dedicate to the community - For the most part I don't normally do a lot of things outside of school and being at home, so I have almost all of the free-time in the world to dedicate myself to the community as well as other things inside the community. (Ie: I'm able to juggle multiple things at once)

2. I love working on big projects such as this and overall having something to focus on - Whether it be a Girlfriend or making bhop maps I constantly need big things to focus on or else I go insane. If you look at the timeline of when I returned to NW (yes, i used to play back in 2014 and 2015) back in July you will see that I periodically do somewhat large things. From July to early September I was practically playing 5+ hours a day, just to improve myself. I went from around 230 hours, to 400+ hours in that time span. After that I hosted the 5v5 GF league, then shortly after that I decided to make my own regiment and now this (if i'm elected). These kinds of things give me something "productive" to do.

3. I don't mind dealing with people's problems - I think most people can agree with me on this, that dealing with others problems gets really tiresome and annoying after awhile. However for the most part I can normally deal with these problems and try to reach a consensus, whether it'd be a dispute between a mod and a forum member, or two regiment leaders.

4. I believe I have the skills to be a good and proper CR - Obviously anybody running for CR thinks this about themselves but as I have hopefully proved before, I have decent/good leadership skills, communication skills and problem-solving skills. (sorry trying to be modest :p)

5. I hate being involved with drama myself - That doesn't mean I can't deal with it, but personally I don't like to troll or be rude. Of course bantering is fun and all but passed that I try to be on everyone's good side, even people I don't politically agree with !

What I plan on doing with CR if I am elected:

1. Try and populate the NA_Assault server with people.

2. Try to host "Recruiting drives" where I contact small regs to help populate the server and try to recruit new people. Most likely one reg Friday night, Saturday Night and possibly Sunday Night (nothing confirmed yet, mostly brainstorming at this point)

3. This is a bit far-fetched and probably unrealistic, but try to recruit youtubers such as Pixelated Apollo and other youtubers alike him to populate the server and spark interest in it, just so that these Recruiting drives can get alot of people on them.

4. Work with the previous CRs and really anyone trying to pitch in and give advice/help.

5. Ensure that the community stays somewhat toxic and drama-free.

thanks for reading this wall of text

We need a competetive mod for NW. One that is updated when it needs to be to balance this game in terms of tournaments.

This mod shall be called MM+  short for Melee Mod Plus

MM+ is the next step for NW since the devs will never update the game so we need to all change to this mod.

Why should you become CR? : There should always be a choice in every election, so with the banning of Mikkil I feel that I must step-up to take the helm of CR candidate. On my inauguration I will set my goals towards strengthening bonds, not only between that of prominent figures within the community, but also with those looking to join. I feel that the recent stagnation of growth within the community can and will be repaired with the right course of action. With that being said, the greatest threat to this community is the decay of interest by that of individuals that have long tenures within the regimental scene, but this can be countered by the injection of new ideas into the community. The hope of the community as a whole can be placed in the CR, as long as I am the one with the title. So this election cycle, vote Swerp for EU Community Representative!

So, there are no rules against NA or EU running for the other sides position afaik.   but i feel that would defeat that point of having both NA and EU representation if both were NA or EU.  Especially if the people running are more interested in stopping a person being elected than doing the job itself.


Currently i have decided against having NA's running against Munj.(EU)  The EU should of put forth more candidates if they wanted someone other than Munj to vote on.(which, in this case with them being the only candidate, would make voting pointless)


As this is duurings thing, i will let him know and he can make any changes he deems necessary.(you could also use your CR to talk to duuring about who is allowed to run)   A poll can always be made later should new info comes to light or if "new" candidates are allowed.

nonetheless, the NA poll is up.

now, you could always try and convince duuring to open them up for another day, and if he allows it we can make a poll for the EU.

I find it amusing and slightly worrying that many of you North Americans, who don't really know me decide to take such a strongly opposed stance to my candidacy simply because I am a member of the 63e. You should look at an individual's qualities and what they are able to bring to the table as a CR rather than allow your prejudices to cloud your judgement. The fact that I am the only candidate running for EU is indicative of the fact that a lot of the members of the EU community simply do not have the time or are not interested to take on this role. I have already discussed my qualities in my application and it is wrong to defame my name in the EU community simply because of my role in the 63e.

Besides when Riddlez made moves to resolve your issues with the 63e I spent an extensive amount of time discussing his concerns with him and we came to some reasonable agreements. I'm a genuine candidate who is applying of his own accord with his own ambitions to help develop the EU community. I am not some pawn of the 63e, a delusion which some to be under.

Lets put it this way, we've seen a few different candidates at this point, and seen a varying amount come out of it. June got a lot done, and whilst some others have also engaged a lot with us, other candidates have barely even said hi, let alone raised any issues, discussed rules or anything at all really. Keep that in mind while voting, that you want someone who's motivated, not just experienced.

munj won by default since he was the only one allowed to apply.
fixed. anyone on the eu side could of applied, they chose not to.  If they wanted someone other than munj, someone should of stepped up.  They chose to not run anyone against him.  Yes, mekkil did apply, but seeing as he was banned(not by the mod staff) he was removed.  There was still time for people to apply.  riddles said he might run again this term, but never bothered to apply.  If people from the EU are unhappy, they will have to live with it.  They have no one else but themselves to blame.

I don't care who was mekkil banned by (everyone support 63e hegemony) but he was banned because you couldn't handle him winning and to remove competition for 63e (his ban also isn't on why this player was banned thread), and even before he was banned you didn't want to add him to candidates. Then NAs applied and you denied them by adding rule that NA can't candidate for EU.

lol.  yea, i cried myself to sleep at night when i found out he won last time.  My world came crashing down.( i didn't think he did a bad job last time.  certainly more useful than some of the other reps elected)

the mod staff didn't ban him.  you would have to ask the person who banned em why they were banned.  A good guess would be the breaking of forum rules multiple times. (you only had to look around to see it. it was pretty obvious.)


he was added.  twice.  the first time right after i updated all the apps.   Why you choose to ignore this, idk.  He was removed as there were some hitler type pics added to his app after it was added.   Needless to say, that isn't tolerated on this forum.  he was then removed after he was banned, as you cant really do the job if you cant access the forum and interact with the members or the staff.

There was never a rule stating that NA could run for an EU spot.  We all know that if some EU member came in applying for the NA spot, they would be told off by a lot of people.(not to mention the point of having reps from their respective parts of the world)      from reading your posts, the only reason you even care about this is that it is a 63e member.  You distaste for them is very clear.  If it had been anyone else, i seriously doubt you or others would of ever cared. Your posts tell me that you care less about the principle of who can run for what and more about the personal aspect of who it is that ran.  Now we are at the point where are you going to actual debate the principle of the matter of who can run, or continue to whine about the person you don't like being elected because of their tags.  If it is the former, then have the reps talk to duuring about having people run for opposites sides position.  If it is the latter, don't bother responding.  Not going to waste my time with your personal quarrels. 

we shall see how good munj is as a rep.  same goes for whoever wins on the na side.  Either one or both could be great reps, even if their tags are from a group of people you don't like.  One should try to avoid judging someone based on their tags alone.

I don't care who banned him but reason should be displayed on that thread. You are suggesting I send personal message to every admin: "Did you ban Mekkil and why if you did? And why is it not displayed on thread?" when no admin ever replied to me.

I do not dislike 63e or Munj, I dislike Karth for his abusive behavior and rest off the admin/mod team that allowed him to do that and support him. It is obvious that he is power hungry and wants 63e global hegemony. It makes sense that you added rule against EU/NA running for NA/EU CR, but combined with Mekkil's mysterious ban makes it a bit suspicious.

I have nothing against Munj, don't even know the guy, so I really don't care about all of that.

However

You had candidates apply, well within the rules (I checked the whole election process, no rules against it), and a rule was created specifically to bar them. The logic of this rule is "The community would just tell them off anyway", which is honestly quite infuriating. The whole point of the Community Representative position is to serve as a point in communication between the community and the mods. A huge part of this is the community being able to tell the mods what they want. It has been quite clear from recent posts that the EUs wanted to at least have a choice, and a few are rightfully infuriated at the fact that a choice has been denied to them because the mods made a rule under the assumption that they wouldn't want an NA candidate. Democracy should have handled that, not the mods. Also if they REALLY wanted to vote for him, I think Mekkil should have been a valid candidate still. Most of my communication between the mods and the community as a CR was through Steam anyhow, so a passable job could still be done. (BTW this is aimed more at Duuring than you, Thunder)

Munj is a really nice guy, so if anyone has any doubts towards him for being a member of the 63e and being a part of Karths ultimate plan of global domination then there's no need to worry, hes got his head screwed on in the right place and EU couldn't do any better for a CR. The fact that he was the "only" applicant is another issue entirely, one that I don't want to get drawn in on.

You do realize that only 1 member of the mod staff can ban right?(duuring)  and i said it wasn't a member of the mod staff.  That leaves you with 2 possibilities, and i will let you use some deductive reasoning to figure out who it was.   Mikkel is a friend of the devs, and the devs do what they do.  They don't need to tell you why they banned their friend.  Nor why they unban him if they do.  I already told you he broke forum rules several times, and if you were on the forums the several days he did it, you couldn't have missed it.(spam)  It was their way of handling it.

Well I cannot see post history updates like you can so I didn't know. And ofc he can't be CR if he is banned.
Yes you can.  You cant see deleted posts or posts in boards you don't have access to, but you can see past regular posts.

So there is no law that you can breathe so stop breathing?
what a bad analogy.

I do not dislike 63e or Munj, I dislike Karth for his abusive behavior and rest off the admin/mod team that allowed him to do that and support him. It is obvious that he is power hungry and wants 63e global hegemony. It makes sense that you added rule against EU/NA running for NA/EU CR, but combined with Mekkil's mysterious ban makes it a bit suspicious.
you, as have many others, have made it clear you don't like the 63e.(especially others)  It is just not a dislike of karth.  If you don't like them, that is fine, that is your opinion.  If you don't like something he did with regards to moderation, then contact duuring or the CR with evidence.  Unlike the server side of the administration, i am not involved when it comes to dealing with complaints.  I am just a regular forum mod. 

I believe he will do his job like every other CR before him, achieving nothing because nobody from admin/mod team gives a fuck what CR says.
funny, seeing as they have gotten stuff done and their opinion has mattered.   i will give you one very clear example.(before you move the goal post)   

June as CR made a poll where people were interested in a Pub LB.  I decided after a lot of pondering with a lot of doubt to its success to approve it.(after doing other checks)   Now, he didn't do too much with regards helping set it up or admining it(he has been an admin for a long time).  Various admins chimed in on the rules and how things should be enforced.  I eventually made a set of rules that after a few tweaks made it into the event thread.  I never wanted the event to be my event.  It was meant to be an event for the community hosted by the admin staff.  but it eventually turned into my event and i had to do most of the work.(never hosted an event before this)  This is not even counting the maps and scripts i made to help the server/event.   The event went fairly well imo and that is in part thanks to not only the regular admin staff, but  the lb admins and the regs attending.  It could of gone better, but it was still good. 


There was never a rule stating that NA could run for an EU spot.  We all know that if some EU member came in applying for the NA spot, they would be told off by a lot of people.(not to mention the point of having reps from their respective parts of the world)

you and i talked about this before.  I see your tone changed from not caring too much to now you care. 

the part in parentheses is the key reason imo, not because people would start a fight about having a EU run for an NA spot.  You know as well as i do that would make a lot of people unhappy, and if we allowed it, it would make a lot of people really unhappy.  and if i had to guess, you would be right up there supporting the unhappy people in regards to why we would even allow it. 

The question would be asked why do we even have NA and EU reps if we allow one side to run for the other.  That it would ruin the point of having someone from their respective part of the world.  Someone who is knowledgeable or can easily become knowledgeable about the issues on their side.  Someone who is available at the time of day when their community is awake and active. Someone who actually knows the members well on their side.  and this isn't even getting into the fact that the members themselves know who their rep is.(i don't just mean forum name, but the actual person.  and i don't mean just knowing them for being a memer)  I could go on by i digress.    There are very few who can do the above if at all.  Especially if they are across the pond.  Maybe if it was someone who lived on both sides of the pond long enough and proven to know both sides really well, there could be an exception for them.(would have to be discussed)   Jackie and savs are just 2 names that come to mind that fit that.   

The EU members had months to decide if they wanted to run.  They had 5 days to apply.   Only 2 did.  1 was removed twice as mentioned above.  Others(EU) didn't even care until after apps were closed.  Reopening apps after they were closed is not fair to those who applied on time.  Democracy can still happen, even if someone doesn't have a challenger.  If other EU members wanted to make a non troll app before apps were closed, they would of been added and a vote between them would of happened.   They didn't.  They spoke by not having someone else run.  You cant blame the mods, we didn't bar  EU members from running.(as long as they didn't break forum rules in their app or make a troll app which i made clear would not be accepted)     You are arguing for the removal of NA and Eu differentiation, and instead just having 2 reps.  If that is what you wanted, then you should of pushed for this change when you were CR. 

You are assuming that the few that posted here represent all of the EU members or even a majority.   Unless you can back that up, don't bother speaking for all of them.     Too many times someone has spoken on "behalf of the people" when they really only spoke for a few.(usually a vocal few)  Even if someone is elected by the majority, it doesn't mean a majority share the same view on a subject.  I haven't seen the last or new rep speak on this.   


There are quite a few things that you need the forum for.  You know this.  Just being on steam is not enough.  especially if people cant talk to you on steam.


anyways the above is my opinion.  CR thing is Duuring's thing.  He can make whatever changes he wants to it.   in this case, the change is not unreasonable, even if you disagree with it.  in under a day, we will know who won the NA election, and you can talk to them about what changes you want or would like. 

this will be my last response on this for a while so don't expect a response right away.

He was open to criticism towards the 63e and proved willing to change things from his end. I can't say anything else but that I deem him valuable to the community. He has my full support and I am glad the EU has at least this candidate to have trust in.


The 63e matter should be solved. I have explained why this was nonsense and I hope you people do not bring it up again. It is a waste of time.

No I can't see history of a post how it was edited.

What does CR being lazy has to do with how much power he has?

You kinda can't know my feelings about 63e, I dislike Karth and Herishey told me Munj is a good guy and I believe him.

I'm happy meikel was banned. He kept spamming those birthday threads and it was annoying af.

An NA running for EU CR is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. It completely ruins the point of having 2 CRs.

ah, yes, you wouldn't be able to see the edits of post.  CR should be able to. 
not even sure what you are talking about in line 2.

Well you didn't help yourself and your position as CR when you did it by just insulting everyone. It will be brought up again, trust me, and you did the square root of jack in terms of permanently ending matters.

The "Anti-63e" feeling is a deep and festering wound as I said when the matter was first raised at the beginning of your term. It won't be solved in a single term by one CR who didn't exactly distinguish himself in any way or actually solve the matter.

I have acknowledged I did not have the time to put as muhch effort into the matter as I wanted to. This is disappointing but not something I can do much about as of now. However, deals were struck between me and the 63e, and I believe those have been succesful. Besides some personal grievances the past weeks, there hasn't been much shitposting from the 63e side, or at least you could say it has significantly decreased.

Yes I had not the time to truly distinguish myself as a CR and it is something I regret. I should not have run but waited until the January-Febuary term, for I will have much more timeo n my hands then.

I have no issues the 63e, and have no beefs with any other people that have run for Com. Rep. positions so far. Except for Mekkil, who it seems fairly clearly didn't care about the position, just the fun of running for the position. I do, however, take issue with what was quoted below:

The question would be asked why do we even have NA and EU reps if we allow one side to run for the other.  That it would ruin the point of having someone from their respective part of the world.  Someone who is knowledgeable or can easily become knowledgeable about the issues on their side.  Someone who is available at the time of day when their community is awake and active. Someone who actually knows the members well on their side.  and this isn't even getting into the fact that the members themselves know who their rep is.(i don't just mean forum name, but the actual person.  and i don't mean just knowing them for being a memer)  I could go on by i digress.    There are very few who can do the above if at all.  Especially if they are across the pond.  Maybe if it was someone who lived on both sides of the pond long enough and proven to know both sides really well, there could be an exception for them.(would have to be discussed)   Jackie and savs are just 2 names that come to mind that fit that.

I am from NA, and I have been NA all my life. Even so, each of the nearly 4 years that I've spent playing NW have been in the EU. For over three years now, I have either personally led or been one of the commanding officers in my own EU regiment, the 73rd. The vast majority of my NW contacts are from the EU, all from getting to know the people that lead regiments and host events. I keep close contact with various event hosts, and so have a fairly good web of regiments and communities to rely on. With all that being said, it bothers me that I am now being told that I cannot represent the community that I know best and interact with most because live in NA. I'm available at their time of day, available nearly every day.

I'm not making this post because I wanted to run in this election cycle. I thought about it, but decided not to - before the influx of other members trying to run in EU - because I don't have any grand schemes to propose or enact. But I am disturbed that now I am being barred from running in the future by a hastily enacted, poorly planned rule that was meant to patch a hole in the boat that started leaking only just now.

that hyperbole makes it hard to take that part of your post seriously.


anyways, duuring is a reasonable person, despite all the rhetoric that people like to throw around.(even if you disagree with his decisions)  you can talk to him about making an exception, as i mentioned earlier.  depending on how good you articulate your points, he may allow you to run for EU CR.(or vice versa)    there is nothing stopping you from running for NA CR and still helping out the EUs if you win.

It absolutely would be hyperbole if there was actually a rule announced before the election saying that it wasn't allowed. Instead, it's absolutely true: It was hastily announced after people applied to run, after five elections. If it is true that individual cases can be argued and allowed, then that is fair enough, though there is still nothing to suggest that it wasn't a poorly planned rule if it had to be created on the spot.

Nah mate FSE logic is that there is no rule that allows you to candidate for other side so it's okay.

I'd ask Olaf himself, and refrain from doing so on this thread.

I'm going to lock the thread too.
