How do you feel?

[JAGeBoyle]

How do you feel about an election for a rank?
What rank would YOU be interested in obtaining?
How do you feel you would do in that position realistically?
What would make you work out in that rank?

I would be ok with an election, as long as people voted for who they honestly felt could wear the position well and actually improve justallgamers as a clan and a community, rather than the people who they feel will benefit them most with the power.

I feel like I would be excellent High Council member or anything of the sort, I play multiple games and I play them well. I have ALWAYS been great at recruiting and getting a section active, nobody can deny this.

See my former experience with the counter-strike, and diablo2 section. I personally re-built the diablo2 section and it thrived for a bit.

I believe my first stint in jage I devolped and headed my own section as well, it was for "The specialists" game.

Now, We all know my history with jage, but let's face it.. I am a productive member, yes I am an ass but a good leader needs to be able to speak his mind when things are unfair to the clan and his section. I'm honest when it comes to things and all in all I'm a pretty fair guy.


Cheers..

When I can become active in actual gaming again I'd love to run for a rank. I think voting would be a good thing though I kind of feel that it would turn into a game of favoritism.

I consider it just as fair as appointing. Rather than proving yourself to just 3 Admins you have to prove your worth to everyone.

Yeah but proving yourself to admins means proving yourself to people with a fair assessment of the situation and can make level-headed assumptions as to whether you are qualified or not. Where as with majority rules, that doesn't have to be the case at all.

[JAGeBoyle]

with majority ruling you would be only hurting yourself to appoint someone not qualified.

[Chumlie]

I would be great as a Guest. I'm not that productive, dont post too often and bounce around from game to game as I get bored.

[JAGeDurf]

I dont think we have enough people for an election. We're all admins now!

I like elections. I want to take Jay's position. Realistically I would ban everyone if I had his position. The fact that I would ban everybody who didn't think I was working out as high supreme warlord commander.

P.S. Adam + High Council = ?

[JAGeHomey]

In my opinion, appoint, but stilll hold elections in order to help you see who is more qualified and who the rest of the clan is more comfortable with. Let people vote, but you 3 still get the final say.

Do I get an A+ for this math assignment?

that seems like a good idea. let us vote to who we think we should elect and why, and you guys take that into consideration and post the results\promotions.

i'll run for biggest forumwhore.

also, we should change the ranking system so its like the jedi. ergo i vote to be in yoda's chair :)

Hows this sound.

3 Phases elections-

Those who wish to run may send me a PM with the following:
Qualifications
Experience
Future Plans
Their clan vision

We will take them all together and post as an announcement. That will be your candidates.

Phase 1-
Everyone votes on who they want.

Phase 2-
Supreme Council takes the top 5 and D.Q's 2 leaving 3 candidates

Phase 3-
Everyone votes again on those top 3 and the victor is selected for the position

[JAGeDurf]

Sounds ok to me :-) Whats our active member count at now?
(edit) to answer my own question. We have 42 people that have been active in the last 2 weeks.
Sounds like enough for a vote to me :-)

Thanks,

[JAGeScimitar]

173 active members within the last 6 months, some may not have posted by they have been aactive on the site within the last 6 months

[JAGeFuse]

[JAGeFamine]

Yeah, well hows this sound?

Let's also define timelines. I believe this should be an accelerated process since we are trying to get the clan up. Maybe a few days or a week for the first step. Phase 2 should be done quicker. Phase three a few days to a week?

[JAGeScimitar]

No it is actual accounts approved to member status that have been active within the last 6 months

Thats probably what the election time frame would be but were not there yet we still need to get the other ranks finished.

I consider it just as fair as appointing. Rather than proving yourself to just 3 Admins you have to prove your worth to everyone. Kooru does bring up a good point though, there are "groups" and within each group on this site certain people like certain people and others hate one another, it's like one giant high school... Like for example if it was Boyle for admin vs. IDK... Homey for example we know who would win hands down. I do think it is something interesting to try though.

Homey/Obama '08

[JAGeScimitar]

But in the instance we all know boyle and he has done more therefore that would make sense for him to win.

Try another example that was a poopy one.

I did think it best that me jay and Boyle never announce who we vote for because it could greatly sway the vote.

[JAGeKooru]

Damn your sig schimmy!

[JAGeRedfield]

Ok Pwn Sauce and Homey or CHumlie or whatever it's favorites... it's like most elections... it's favorites not who is best for the job.

Who are you more likely to take directions from... someone you like, respect, and game with or someone who's job it is to just tell you what to do.

If the wrong person wins ban him for poll hacking.

Elections are stupid, its a popularity vote and a whore fest. Pick people that are capable of doing the job, not those that want the job. This isn't a democracy, you shouldn't give a damn about how people feel because you can't please everyone and also because people are idiots.

Im not running for a position, im just the asshole with the opinion that tells you what he thinks should be done but wont do it himself. If there's a rank for that, then sign me up.

[JAGeScimitar]

People who are capable are not always the ones who want it. Those who want the job sometimes can suprise you.

Hell before I joined JAGe I never ran any clan or a section. I remember simply wanting to be a Guard. And then I wanted more. But no time then was I qualified or even capable but I wanted it.

Just pointing out many people who want something bad enough can suprise you.

[Fanlaen]

Some people don't want the job, they want the tag and the colored name. The admin powers, the growth of their e-penis.

They'll do what it takes to get the rank, then once that is achieved, the "job" is done.

i think at the astonishing rate that our clan is gaining influence those people probably would have sought out other options. (how many words do you need for an alliteration cause i'll add an adverb artfully(see what i did there?) If said people after epeen stimulation are still around i think they've persevered enough to get a cool looking name. More importantly i want a cool looking name, what do i need to do? I'm talking the bare minimum here, and if needed i'll edit this post so you don't read the words "bare minimum."

This statement applies to everyone except for adam, just cause i don't like him and i say he is only goal is to increase the size of his internet genitalia, because i say so.

I should get promoted, and so should anyone who knows how to party hard.

Perfect example and it has happened over and over. I've seen it since we created JaG. Everyone that gets a position should be given a 90 day probation period and if they cant perform to said position then its time to pick someone else.
