Anyone but Herishey please. This community has already suffered enough, give it a chance. :'(
Name: Jakester11/10, will vote for
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?: Yes.
Why should you become CR?: I am capable of administrative work and am a frequent browser of the forums, even if I'm not posting. I actually do try to put effort into the NA community and the general consensus on me is that I'm competent and mildly involved in most areas of the game, from competitive to casual to forum drama and I even interact with filthy medium-speed Europeans.
@Pickle ur up my doodI'll post my app soon
@Pickle ur up my dood
Want me to run for NA too? I'm cool.

Just an fyi Pedro thats not a real appfyi ur not my representative.
I won't be running again and though I have enjoyed my two terms I think the community is a bit tired of me aka they all hate me and I should give someone else a chance. ;)
I think I've done a lot more as a CR than a lot of others before me but I wouldn't know. The only type of feedback I ever got were just taunts/insults. ::)
Name: Pickle[/s]

Why should you become CR? :
I believe I should be the NA Community Representative because I truly want to help make everyone's experiences more fun and in general, just better. I have a decent amount of administrative experience starting back in 2013 helping admin a linebattle to present day where I am a Moderator of both NA groupfighting servers and heading NA RGL. In the past I have been Moderator of NA NWL, Referee of various leagues and tournaments, and Admin of several servers. I have been with this community since 2012(and on FSE since 2013) so I think I have a pretty good concept of how it works and how to improve it.
Listed below are a few of my goals. In addition to those goals I have created a list of interesting competitive and casual event ideas that I will release if I am elected.
My Goals:
- Create fun, experimental, and interesting events for both Competitive and Casual groups alike.
- Be as transparent as possible with the community.
- Respect community opinions and ideas.
- Create a schedule for CR hosted events and tournaments that span the term.
- Continue and revive popular events such as NANWL and the Regional Groupfighting Tournament.
- Have recurring discussions with regimental representatives and community memebers to hear your concerns/suggestions.
If elected I would like to work with the other candidates so their views, goals, and voters are represented to the fullest extent.
I asked a few Community Members if I would be a good CR and why, here are their testimonials.HellomotoAs one of my oldest NW friends, I have seen Pickle put on a myriad of hats. I've seen him be a ranker, NCO, CO, and most prominently, one of the head admins of the NA Groupfighting server. He has excelled at all these roles and took his responsibilities seriously, while always keeping in context that at the end of the day NW is a game we play to have fun. Pickle's most prominent quality is that he approaches each situation with a level head, and that is a valuable quality for a person in any position, to ensure a fair, just, and most importantly, a fun environment. He is also one of the gayest men to ever touch this game, which is another huge achievement I must commend him for.[close]UnitaterFirst I would like to include the following: I agree for Pickle to post this on the forums. Now on to my statement: I haven't been in the NW community for a long time compared to some people, and that difference pales when compared to a person like pickle. Pickle has been a staunch, reliable, and trustworthy member of this community for years. While I canot vouch for his years prior to when I joined this game, I do know from my experience with him - as an NA GF admin, a forum member, a friend, and eventually a loyal member of the 15e that this fella would make an excellent CR. He has the connections needed for this position across the community, the reputation to back it, and the experience necessary for it. Therefore, I can endorse pickle's run for CR without a single regret, and fully hope he wins the elections.[close]*Note * None of these statements were forced. Each individual gave me permission to post their statements. I did not change the statements at all.TheodinWhile many community members claim to be impartial third parties, they do this because they are either A) lying or B) too inactive to matter. Pickle, however, is one of the few community members who can realistically claim to be an impartial, objective third party. The community has already recognized this, handing Pickle important positions in leagues, tournaments, and servers. A true testament to this is that Pickle is the only person to have been a NA Groupfighting and BoB Groupfighting moderator. This type of true impartiality and competence in the CR position hasn't been seen since Mack, and right now there is no one more qualified and suited to the position than Pickle.

I have no problem with Jakester or Pickle being CR, so gl to whichever gets it
I'm debating trying again, but really, I don't even see what the difference I could do as a CR more than what I'm already doing. It seems it's more like a forum title and just helping edit posts here. Which I wouldn't be the best for.You get to say you're CR

windflower was literally useless as CR and was just in it for the title. my vote goes to fellow food pickleNo I actually do care about the community
Like, I know how publicly not everyone likes bots, so I worked with Warlance Game Servers to get the Zombie Siege server back up and splitting the scripter fee with them. I'm working with them adding more maps to their rotation and advising the owner with map-editing. I helped Griffith on getting errors fixed for his NA_CavGroupfighting server after the patch so it would run properly, so I already love to help the community, but tbh, it's more server oriented than forum post oriented.and you helped bob gf prosper. good man

I mean you would have had my vote for CR if you ran, but literally every post I have seen from you since I came back turned my opinion of you from like a slightly positive 6/10 to a 4/10 mild distaste. Like, why are you even on this thread? You basically came and said "Oh wow, I am thinking of running again, but fuck this pointless position. Wait a minute, look at all the things I did for this community, and what would have been in my 'Why you should be a CR' section, but oh yeah I totally don't wanna run for this position.". Like if you had come and kept your mouth shut and just put that shit as an App, you would have had my vote even though I love Pickle. Make up your goddamn mind or get out. Do you wanna help do anything forum related or not? Its that simple.
If you can't tell, indecision is one of my triggers.
It was a compliment 😄CRs do help more than you know, but what would you like to see CRs do specifically if you could elaborate on the slightly vague 'something new' bit
I suppose maybe it’s difficult to always keep track of what the CR does behind the scenes.
I don’t know, that’s why I said it seems like a bit of an arbitrary role.It was a compliment 😄CRs do help more than you know, but what would you like to see CRs do specifically if you could elaborate on the slightly vague 'something new' bit

Honestly if anything props to Windflower for staying cool while getting roasted 24/7What? The man literally deleted every critical post about him. He used mod powers than any other CR, although perhaps not what Orcaryo was planning.
What lol that doesnt sound right. I deleted posts on my CR thread of you guys spamming and taunting me without actually having any reason behind it lol, I dont know why you are/were so hostile but none of it was productive.Honestly if anything props to Windflower for staying cool while getting roasted 24/7What?

Voted for Dan, didn't see his application before
If a champion of the universe isn't qualified to be CR, no one is.
The issue with so many of these candidates is that they give very vague descriptions of what they want to do, usually centred around the same promises that have been given by every CR ever. They never say how they plan to achieve it or bring anything new to the table.
It is hard to come up with something new.... organising events is not at all what my vision on community reps are for... I was around when they were created. Their original task was to be the voice, the filter of community issues (most notably on the forums) and to either solve these disputes without the involvement of the administration team. Or they could settle disputes between the community and the admin team. That's what they are for. Organising events in my opinion is besides the point of a CR... I support the initiatives of course, but it's community representative, not community event organiser. They're not a means to 'save the community and increase inactivity'... they're an impartial tool, part of the forum administration, but with their own mandate, impartial to the admins.
Perhaps we should return to the function of the community representative and not focus so much on who votes for who. Ideally, everyone will vote for the person they feel will be able to fulfill the role most appropriately. There are some in the community, such as Karth, that many people do not hold in high regard, but those people are still members and will vote accordingly.
Going back to the points I made a few days ago (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=35047.msg1519679#msg1519679) (which everyone seemed to pass over for my comments on NANWL), is the term community representative really the correct term to use? Is that what people really want? Or do they want a community coordinator? A coordinator being someone who organizes public events and activities for the community as well as acting as an intermediary between regiments and forum staff. Because from what I've observed since the start of the position being created is that there is a lot of emphasis on CR's to do a lot more than the title suggests and do it without consistent support. As an example, the NA1 Revival was an admirable effort by numerous people, but it wasn't sustainable.
Eh. Questioning if people want a representative or coordinator is just semantics if you ask me. They are really both anyhow. When I was rep, I was more about the representing than the coordination, as I was more likely to take an interest in the forum administration than host events. For example, I was all over the closing of the PLG threads, certain bans, and other such stuff.
I think the way the system now is good. Each rep can take it upon themselves to define their role as they please. They are given the power to do so by the community in the form of a vote, and by the mods in what is essentially making them a temporary mod.
I don't see why each new rep needs to do something 'new' any way. As RiddleZ said, what new thing is there to do? Invade Taleworlds and take our rightful place as the rulers of their forums?
I will vote for Dan because I believe he will create a prominent and flourishing Toontown guild.God Bless Toontown
Sure thing. Get the marching bands going, its time for some long overdue Anschluss.You have my vote once again.

I don't believe community reps are supposed to host events or help run things. The fact that it's a campaign promise is due to two things: that it's an easy promise to make (and is expected, kinda, now) and that people want to elect someone who will do something active, rather than passive. I always thought the CR was merely a conduit from the community to the moderation team, and to me, that's all that matters - who you trust to bring concerns to the mod team directly like the elected representative title suggests, but since this is a passive thing (merely waiting for a concern to come up) it's not a sexy thing to promise, and the easiest thing to promise is the active results of events.
What I'd like to see from CR applications (and CRs, really) is two things - a promise to communicate with the community and the moderation team and solve problems that occur between the two, and to connect often silenced communities (the pubs, cav, minor languages) with the mainstream. But everyone just wants a tournament or something, and that seems like a monumental waste of the position.
CR’s could have pretended to care about cav, seeing as how they’re in the community
I tried to help!CR’s could have pretended to care about cav, seeing as how they’re in the community
Would be nice if NA actually cared about cavalry or even pretend, but they don't. There is roughly 25~(if that) actual cavalry players left in NA who attend events regulalry. LIR bring more players for calvary slots than the actual cavalry regiments.
IB and I have try to get more people interested in it. Risk got hooked on it and has been enjoying cavalry events, but thats just one dude we been able to convert over for an event once a week.
