I think it's a good idea to have more lunatics in charge of the asy#lum

Takes one to know one, I guess... all joking aside I hope if approved I can do this humble game justice I've really enjoyed this game and appreciate the global reach it has, as well as the sense of community we share. If I pass the voting process, it is my hope that people from my part of the world(I am in Australia), or night-owls in the rest of the world will feel they have a positive leadership presence when they are online as well as being able to enjoy events at a time more convenient to them. If elected I would spread the word of our game on other sites, and also endeavour to drum up some more people who desire to be content developers and scripters etc. I want this to be a place where people feel welcome and that they tell their friends about it and get even more new players to expand the community.

With regard to the questionairre:
1. What is the best way to help a new player who just started playing the game in your opinion (when you are not a game master but just a normal player)?
-I would direct them to the Wiki or the forums if they sounded genuinely lost. You cannot do everything for them, but it is good to send them in the right direction. Players should feel welcome but not led by a leash and babied so much.

2. When you would have the ability to spawn items using a GM command, who would get what from you?
-This should be an ability for admins only.

3. You are a GM, get online and immediately receive reports about these behaviors by different players about different players. Please order them by your priority in dealing with them:
1) Botting: This behaviour is not conducive to all players being able to enjoy the game. If found to be botting players will be subject to a kick and subsequent bans from the server per the rules.
2) Insults: Such negative behaviour in this game is not welcome and does not improve game-play for anybody.
3) Scamming: Players who scam others are some of the lowest out there.
4) Not speaking English in public: Players can speak their own languages in chat tabs, but they should be reminded that speaking English in public is part of the rules. As well as being against the rules, it might make players who don't speak that language uncomfortable.
6) Advertising: While we might all want to get our friends in here to try another server, advertising has a better place and that's on the forums under off-topic.

4. A player disagrees with your decisions and starts to insult you in public. How would you react?
- I would first inform them that insulting is against the rules. I would direct them to the appropriate channels on the forum (Courthouse) where they can post a complaint. If the behaviour continues they will face a server kick and then the appropriate path of bans as necessary.

You have like 3 years in TMW.

What you say about the need of a GM in your part of the world is true.

You are nice and helping.

I have never seen you breaking the rules.

I liked the idea you were talking the other day about how to bring more players to TMW.

I think you qualify for GM.

1.We don't need more GMs in this game, we already have too many.

2.You should have gotten someone more thrustworthy to nominate you and not some guy who stabbed Platyna in the back and stole her game.

3.No australians play this game (or other people GMT +11) because they are busy wrestling alligators and getting stabbed by stingrays.

4. http://www.strangeparty.com/2005/04/16/old-post-18/

I rest my case.

Hmm, not too many valid points here DefnitelyNOTMrWho. I will keep this as short a response as possible. I was not involved in the decision making process which led to the server takeover. Making your vote about that instead of what I could bring to the game as GM is neither productive nor useful. If you wish to discuss other points elsewhere feel free.

Responds to trolls: -1 point

or maybe she's just super-nice +1

Give Prove Of The Number 2 DefinitelyNOTMrWho, give proof of what you are telling

Everythin about agree is to disagree so i agree with disagree, voted yes

Voted yes.

Servers with GMs stay around.

I vote yes Kate is very responsible and has never disobeyed the rules and I have known her for a few years . So I vote yes
Good luck Kate

1. Nobody knows when other real life responsabilites are going to demand more time of the actual GM, only the key people know if more GM are needed or not, i guess you are not of those key people (game admin, devs and actual GM)

2. I don't know what you are talking about, and probably many others either, don't care, is irrelevant to the present issue.

3. and 4. in the # 2 you sounded like you have some meat/feud with who knows. I know Internet is like a public restroom, but don't you think this topic is kind of serious? why the trolling? just because of this all your points lack credibility.

Responding to MrWho "is irrelevant to the present issue" (Crazyk8e's GM nomination) as well.

"I don't know what you are talking about, and probably many others either, don't care, is irrelevant to the present issue." Incorrect.

---

GMs espouse an aura of authority and holding players accountable which I disagree with. I vote for anarchy!

Case has been rested.

I appreciate those who have selected a vote yes. Thank you for your support and hopefully with other yes votes from players unknown I can be another great GM for this game.

Sorry you feel that way, Vill. I just hope you know I have not done anything wrong by this game in the time I've been playing it which has been a few years now.

hello because my post not yet 20, i not vote yet, just wait my vote. lol
Crazyk8e wanna be GM of asia time, sure i agree , less GM online at morning-evening asian time. i am from indonesian xD and i know few player from australia
