Title: Public Representative Nominations
Post by: Akomine on 7 November 2012, 07:02:31 AM
Because Islid abandoned VillageCraft without notice, and we have confirmed he probably isn't coming back, the position of Public Representative is vacant. The server is growing since the release of 1.4, and we need to fill the position.

Given enough interest, we might have an election for the role. The staff will technically have the final say. Note that there can be more than one PR.

Post a reply here to nominate yourself or someone else for the position. Please ensure the person you nominate would do the job well by reading this link to see a bit about what a PR does: http://www.villagecraft-server.com/forum/index.php?topic=312.0



Reply to nominate.

I'm up for it
Though I don't think Islid has completely abandoned the server, he's just busy
Do you have him on Skype?

He went off to be an admin on a larger server. Believe me when I say he has his hands full with that.... let alone be a PR for this server. I don't see him coming back in the near future.

I know he's an admin on another server
But he might still play, so I'd say let's not auction off his village or anything like that yet.
Though I agree with the PR thing.

I find it very sad that people are nominating themselves for this position. I was really hoping that at least one person would have the decency to nominate someone else... rather than try to "go for the gold" themselves.

To respond to the OP, I do not believe this server has anyone who is dedicated, intelligent, and helpful enough to fill Islid's roll as PR. His act is tough to follow. Almost all the people that should have this job are already [M], [SM], or [A]. This makes it quite difficult to chose someone out of the many that play on this server.

I thought about what it meant to be a PR when I was looking through the forum member list. I came up with a few ideas:
1. Whomever is chosen as the PR should know how to work the forums.
2. Whomever is chosen as the PR should know how logblock works.
3. Whomever is chosen as the PR should be generally liked on the server.
4. Whomever is chosen as the PR should be intelligent (knowing how to write a report falls into this category).
5. Whomever is chosen as the PR should be an active member.

As I stated before, many people do not fit this qualification. The only person I can truly think of that could fit 4 out of the 5 qualifications that I gave would be Witchdoctor. He knows the workings of the forums and logblock; he is also intelligent and liked. He, however, has a life outside of VC. He serves in the military and has a fiance (or so I last heard).

Because of all of this, I cannot truly say who should be the next PR. Islid was made for that role, so it would be hard to do a job that Islid practically perfected. No one meets these qualifications 100%... so I cannot give a recommendation on the next PR.


As for the staff, I hope you take a moment to read this and take it into account.

Thanks,
Kovos_Datch


EDIT: I also believe that a PR should be relatively unbiased. Obviously it isn't possible to have "no biases", but I think a PR shouldn't side with the staff all the time, nor with the players all the time. The PR, after all, is the player representative and should therefore protect the players (from each other as well as from overbearing staff) as well as "protect" the staff from nuisance by intercepting problems.

I am so very flattered that you all think I am fit for the position of PR. I truly had no idea that I was in such good standing with the VC community; I am so honored.

Well, to be honest, Ako hates you.. But he's Canadian, so who gives a rats' ass?  :D

I think you're a natural choice. You're intelligent, level headed, and I think you have the ability to view problems from several different angles.

His forum update, I believe, was the last time any of us heard from him. It's a shame too because he would make a good PR.
