Should Lord of the Flies be the next GM?
Forum rules
- Each member of the community can make a topic (poll) suggesting another person for a GM. You can't make a poll for yourself.
- One topic per person, any duplicates will be removed and votes will be lost.
- 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". - 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).
- A person suggested may request closing of the topic.
- 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.
- 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.
- After training and approval from the senior GMs, the team will formally grant full GM rights and team membership.
- If many persons will gain required voices, voice count will matter.
- The amount of GMs to pick in certain time line will be determined by the TMW Team (Admins, GMs and developers).
- Persons rejected due lack of free positions will be put on hold till any position becomes available (according to vote count).
- If more than a year passes, a new poll must be open to ensure the community is still fine with the nomination.
- Usual GM choosing criteria and guidelines still apply, persons not meeting those criteria will be rejected and will have their thread closed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- State EXACT player name that clearly identify a person (in game or on forums - precise which one it is).
- 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.
- You need to have at least 10 posts to participate in the polls.

Interesting question -> Is pretending to be a troll... trolling? If so, is it even possible to pretend to be a troll without being a troll?yourmistakes wrote:

Kage, I've decided to answer your question, with more philosophical questions.
Is a troll still a troll if noone's around to hear him trolling? Even if he falls in the woods and the trees hear him?
Second, and most importantly: A man can sit around in town and pretend to be a garbage can, but he will inevitably have to deal with the fact that he is not, in fact, a hollow object that exists for the sole purpose of disposing your waste inside (unless, of course, said man who pretends to be a garbage can is also a prostitute).
Moral of the story: Anyone can play soccer, but that doesn't mean you're a 'soccer player'. Same applies to trolls. Question answered.
Minds blown yet?
