Which i did, against known and reputed player, some of them considered legend, such as, Mandarin, Ledger, Tiberias, Herishey, Hokej, Troister, Axiom, Evanovic, Stark, Eddie, Jammo, Bagins, Freddie, Python. I didn't had a good relationship with most of them, but i congratulate them for what they did, and i had pleasure facing them.
As you haven't been warned yet Unicorn I'm going to let you off this time but after 5 quotes you need to use a spoiler or it is considered pyramiding. You can still be warned for the spoiler if it isn't adding anything to the conversation.
Name: Scottish UnicornEU or NA?: EUAre 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?: YesWhy should you become CR?: Although I've never been a CR before, I've done similar roles in different communities and as such I believe I have the experience necessary to represent the community that (for the most part) I enjoy being a part of. To me, the CR isn't a captain of the ship barking orders, it’s the helmsman. He is there to guide the boat through the water, no matter how risky or choppy it may be. This is what I would be, someone who steers the community towards the right place but doesn't take over and make it about them. It’s not for the benefit of me, but NW.Being in the 92nd, I've interacted with other regimental leaders when I've been administrating and running 2 successful line battles a week. Through these events I've been supporting, although a small number compared to the larger community, numerous regiments in the event whether it be contacting them to gauge interest, negotiating specials or even smoothing over conflict. These are all transferable skills that would easily transfer over to the CR role and would only add to my forte.What are one or two things you commit to doing as CR this term? Although competitive events are arguably the most popular, with NWBC hitting 1500 unique sign-ups, we run the risk of a burnout in not only the player base but also regiments if there are too many regimental tournaments. I would guide regimental leaders towards an agreed tournament calendar which would allow these regimental tournaments to be as hugely successful as they currently are without a burn out. Note the word guide, this wouldn't be me making demands or expecting me to be the loudest voice in the room, more an open discussion where everyone from any regiment would be welcome to the discussion and make their point. Each person's point would not only be accepted, but respected and valued. This would have a knock on effect on casual events where they would be able to take off and flourish breathing life back into the casual scene not it becoming filler until the next competitive event.To be optimistic, I would pursue trying to stamp out some of the more extreme versions of toxicity. I don't mean "ha-ha you came third" or "my regiment better than your regiment". This is competitive talk. I mean toxicity in regards to racism. I know that for the most part on the forums, racism isn't tolerated. However, on servers and in actual events it’s a different world. I know that in order to completely eradicate it, there would need to be a complete overhaul of the whole community. I'm not promising this. What I mean is that players who are known to use slurs such as the N-word should not be welcome in our community. The default answer shouldn't be "Its NW, it’s always going to be like this".Generally, I would aim to be someone who can be supportive at all times to everyone across the board. Somebody that may not have the answers to all the questions but can guide you towards someone with the correct expertise as I believe a CR should do, support the community. Whether it’s trying to get a new tournament off the ground, a new event or somebody needs a little bit of guidance; I would strive to support them. Again, generally, I would obviously try to be the first port of call for any issues in the forums and be that middle ground between the community and the Mod team. Some may see this application and think "who is this new-gen trying to tell me what to do?" Admittedly, I've not been in the community for the longest amount of time. However, I would argue that this is strength. With 99.9% of this community, I have only interacted with in a positive manner meaning that I wouldn't be bringing any bias, whether known or unknown, and each person and regiment would ever only be treated kindly and fairly.
