Chicka-Maria (redux)

A forum for the community to suggest new Game Masters. PLEASE READ THE RULES.
Forum rules
1. Each member of the community can make a topic (poll) suggesting another person for a GM. You can't make a poll for yourself.
2. One topic per person, any duplicates will be removed and votes will be lost.
3. Each poll has to be done according to the schema (yes has to be first option and no the second):
"Do you agree for person X to become a GM?"
"Yes."
"No."
You are supposed to allow only one option per user and allow revoting.
You are supposed to pick "run for 0 days".
4. A person suggested has to collect at least 45 votes (or more) for yes, with minimum 75% for yes and maximum 25% for no (3:1 ratio).
5. A person suggested may request closing of the topic.
6. Only posts containing valid pros and cons are allowed in the threads, discussions however are not allowed. For discussions about particular case use Player Talk forums.
7. If a person collects the required votes, assuming there are free positions and no objections are raised, they'll be granted "Junior GM" rights for a certain period.
8. After training and approval from the senior GMs, the team will formally grant full GM rights and team membership.
9. If many persons will gain required voices, voice count will matter.
10. The amount of GMs to pick in certain time line will be determined by the TMW Team (Admins, GMs and developers).
11. Persons rejected due lack of free positions will be put on hold till any position becomes available (according to vote count).
12. If more than a year passes, a new poll must be open to ensure the community is still fine with the nomination.
13. Usual GM choosing criteria and guidelines still apply, persons not meeting those criteria will be rejected and will have their thread closed.
14. Sockpuppeting will be detected and all accounts, including the master's one will be banned forever without warning. There is one vote per person, and a person means a human being not a forum account.
15. If this forum will turn into a flame war cave, people posting here will act unreasonably and will break the rules on massive scale, forum will be closed down. So use it wisely.
16. If you don't know a person suggested, it is better to find out who is s/he and what they do before voting, do not vote "no" just because you don't know someone.
17. State EXACT player name that clearly identify a person (in game or on forums - precise which one it is).
18. After a candidate receives required amount of votes, the poll is closed, a candidate reviewed by the TMW Committee and asked (or not - in case of valid objections) to become a GM.
19. You need to have at least 10 posts to participate in the polls.

Chicka-Maria (redux)

Post by AnonDuck »

I would like to Re-Re-Nominate Chicka-Maria for GM. She's been around forever and has matured along with the rest of us. I think she would be well suited to the task. Maybe the third time's the charm?

The general feeling I get is that TMWC now has no objections to her becoming a GM. Unfortunately her previous GM poll is so old that nobody is sure if it should still be valid. Therefore I am re-nominating her with high praise and recommendation. She already passed once, after all :)

I agree, she would be a great GM. She is socially mature, I trust her, and according to conversations in hurnscald she has experience from real life work that I think could be applicable to being a GM.

I voted YES because she should have been GM ages ago when I first nominated her. I can spot GM material way before anyone else.

To be honest I'm a bit surprised to be nominated again xD I'd just like to say thanks and that If I get elected once more that I will do my best to make the players of TMW happy, the players of tmw has always been in my interests when playing the game. I enjoy making new friends on TMW and the game has grown on me quite a bit.

I would like to say I don't want my poll to effect other candidates running right now, (we do need more than 1 GM for hire so don't be afraid to vote yes for everyone if you think they would be a good GM).

I'd like to thank people for their support and thank people who voted no just for voting it's important people have a voice in whom GMs around the game they play. I've been on this game since 2009 so I guess for about 5 years now and I know the game quite well so I have plenty of gaming experience on the game as well. If I become a GM I will do my best to make their gaming experience even more fun for players.

If anyone has any questions or concerns I encourage them to ask, they wont be penalized for it and it would help clear up issues that might be lurking.

regards,

Just realized the "allow revoting" box was not checked, fixed. Luckily this doesn't reset the poll (I'm pretty sure fixing the typo would, though).

I think it's obvious that I'm voting for her as her friend.
But it's not just that... there are reasons why we became friends.
Chicky is a friendly, joyful and helpful person and someone you can rely on.
Also she is a very honest person... a very underestimated point (think about it!).

In the past people didn't trust her to handle trolls but I also read stuff like "she matured a lot since back then" several times.
I don't know about the past since this was before my time but today I know she can handle trolls better than most people.
She definitely got the skills and personality to be a good GM.

About the time zone... I think everyone knows that she is online pretty often and at different times, including the times at which we need more GMs.

Lv.95 - Biqcassy - mage on light path, addicted to her Fluffy Hat, love-hates Fallens, really misses Confused Tree...
Lv.70 - Simca. - dreams of becoming a speedarcher on light path, still has a lot to learn...

There's not much I can say here that I haven't said in Chicka's other polls. She's kind, helpful, and has been playing longer than most. She knows the game well, and more importantly, she knows the player base well. She was always on at odd hours for our timezone, which is great because it was other time zones that really needed to be covered.

She got my vote, at the least. I haven't been around in a long time, due to some technical problems and some personal stuff, but I'm hoping to be back soon. Here's hoping I'll come back to Chicka as a GM! :-) .

PS - I miss you all :-p.

Voted Yes... for now.
Someone once said to me between the lines " You are unwanted here anymore, you are rude, arogant, ignorant, stupid, annoying and worthless person."
And all i can say about it Yes i might be... but that doesnt matter i dont have other feelings different from almighty hate and anger... but in the end its pointless to explain myself.

Chicka Maria has always been respectful and answered any doubts i have had in the game.

So yes.

She is also in the game at the asian day time. So it will be really nice to have another GM active at this time zone.
