I also nominate Chaqa cause he's clearly throwing a fuss because he wants in.

I also nominate brainbomb because I like to watch the world burn.

##vote brainbomb - i'll fetch the marshmellows

^ See? Ghug is high on crack the whole time, like I said.

Brainbomb actually probably wouldn't be that bad of a representative. If they were actually opening this up to a democratic process and a representative council then I would consider voting Brainbomb.

I absolutely refuse brainbomb on this council, sorry.

But they probably aren't opening this up to a representative council so no point in discussing candidates.

Vote with +1s. Add names as need be. Add one to Flum since I can't add myself.

Flum literally just told us his spot was up for election, ND.

Maybe OBGyn is running some kind of WIFOM philosopher-king "he who does not want to rule is best equipped to do it" sort of thing. Do you want to be nominated, OBGyn?

Heck, HR/Flum/meme/Chaqa/OB_Gyn advising on what is balanced or not could be good. I don't see this as a dictatorial thing so much as "people who can tell us whether a setup is balanced or not." Technically, anyone could start and run a mafia game, right? All I see the council doing is encouraging balanced games (and therefore games that are fun for everyone).

Current nominations:
0. (Mod appointed, auto-in: HR)
1. Fluminator
2. captainmeme
3. Chaqa
4.

@Teacon: There is a bit more to it then that.

alright I vote ##chaqa. he has a good mind for this and will make a good representative.

I nominate vash for the mod slot.

I would like to mention that there's one spot up for election, since Flum put his up.

We're talking internally about having two additionally elected spots and Flum keeping his as originally suggested by some of you (I forget who), since I think Flum would be a great asset to this team and is mainly stepping down to stop the backlash against it.

Current nominations:

Mod slot (mods may want to appoint their own?):
1. HR
2. Vash

Hoi Polloi:
1. Fluminator
2. captainmeme
3. Chaqa
4.

IMO, let's get a fuller slate of candidates before actually voting.


@ND: More in the particulars, but do you think there are other intended ends for such a council?

Teacon, are you listening? HR's and meme's spots are not in contention. Either Flum's spot is or there will be two additional ones. Let's wait to hear from them.

ok

@Teacon: My biggest concern is the possibility for it to become even more authoritarian. We will have to see how it goes for a bit, but it's something to be mindful about.

Good to see voting, but don't vote for me.

Well. this is the sort of drama HR was referring too ironically. We dont need elected mafia council members. we just need meme and HR in case anybody tries to force a wjessop setup on us. simple.

Chaqa is the exact type of toxic person who should not be involved in making any decisions. Same goes for me. same goes for anyone who complains about tiny things every game.

I just wanna play if I am allowed to play. I dont care who GMs or who is a sith lord. just post the signups and get the ball rolling on M21 and end this drama bullshit. Im fine with HR and meme. now approve Jamiet's setup and show us how the council is both transparent and invisible.

Ive reviewed jamies game as well. Its fine.

"Maybe OBGyn is running some kind of WIFOM philosopher-king "he who does not want to rule is best equipped to do it" sort of thing. Do you want to be nominated, OBGyn?"

I am being a little tongue-in-cheek hyperbolic about it, but I truly think this is a silly idea. So no, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for a term as your...council member.

Ok, so a council is definitely happening. Does anyone actually want to be on it besides the three people who were chosen originally, or is all the opposition here just an opposition to rules?

This attempt at democracy is absolute nonsense, if you ask me.

Can I go ahead and start taking M21 sign-ups, or should I wait for the Committee to give me the signal to do so?

I dont really think Chaqa is a good representative. He committed to playing in civ 5 tournament and mid game dropped out and uninstalled because he got bored. this is not a person who is consistent or useful.

Brainbomb, your comments on Chaqa are of no consequence since he already stated he did not want to be voted onto the Committee.

This is such a load of nonsense and people need to calm down and stop demanding all kinds of trumped-up rights. If the webDip Moderators / Admins want the right to approve Mafia GM's or set-ups, so be it. There is no need to construct a Mafia Parliament.

You're telling me I'm not allowed to insult Chaqa just because he recused himself?

If elected Ill do it. if it helps get this discussion over with faster. but id vote for flum since he carried M20 and was very wise in balancing the game. I like Flum he doesnt lose his temper and hes just a good honorable friend. I also like HR and meme. Ive enjoyed every game where both were GMS M15 and M17 are my 2 all time fave games.

@Jamie: I would wait for the elders to approve it.
