Big YES for Pinkie Queen

Sadly i vote no... Ginaria IS nice and helpful person, but i dont think she will handle all that trolls hiding in dark corners of tmw.

Yes, she is very nice to new players, and that is what make game grove and stay alive.
So yes Grina for GM

I directly voted yes when I saw this poll but now that I'm think about it, wouldn't it hurt the game if ginny becomes a GM? Who will help new players and keep some place alive if she needs to focus on the GM role?
I'm sure that it would be an excellent choice to have ginaria on the GM team so I will stay with my "yes", but it could be nice to know what she is thinking about this poll.

Perhaps Reid, you could help new players and take the place of Ginaria helper meanwhile her timezone GM. So we can see you more too

Ginaria is very kind
(DarkBrolly (son), Selim (me), WingDragon (younger son)) We can't vote but we hope Ginaria will be GM
Sorry for wrong English.

*agrees with Avenn*

Gina definitely has the moxie for the job. An unequivocal "yes" vote from me.

I have known Ginaria for a long time in this game, and for the life of me can not think of one negative thing to say about her.

If she wants the job, and gets the votes she will be an outstanding addition to the GM team!

I voted YES

Yes, yes and yes for Ginaria! She is really helpful and politly.

Gina has all the qualities required to be a good GM, and have spoken for a long time about her as a GM.
I voted no for the two following reasons:

1. There is no need at this moment of another cop, especially in the time period when Gina is online, and she would better fit the "event coordinator" or better "Game Animator" profile: she occupies this role at least since I began, and better than some past and present GMs, Administrators, Developers. The GM controlling duty is an useless extra charge to her, which will bring nothing to the game but a few "GM events"
2. I have personal reasons to believe that giving this charge to Gina, would be a poisonous gift to her as a person, and that her real life might suffer from it. As I believe to be her friend, and am proud of it, I must privilegiate her interests rather than TMW's ones.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* This is my personal opinion and CRC members are in NO WAY associated or implied in it.

Please keep in mind this topic is about "would Ginaria make a good GM" or not, Not whether or not we need more GMs or what time zone they are from, those are just bonuses.

Also When I am online at night (I tend to be a night owl) I see no GMs whatsoever, however I see Gina online at this time.

Sadly I don't know Gina well enough to know if the GM title given to her will cause something bad or not so I can't say anything about such.

I'd still like to hear Ginas thoughts in this thread though, One thing about being a GM is you need to speak up when you need to, saying her views on this thread would be a good start on that since I have not seen her say anything about it yet...Sadly I voted no until I see such.

The question is Do you agree for Ginaria should become a GM? not would Ginaria make a good GM?. Your night is our morning and yes there is usually no GM at this time, and it has been the case almost always since I registered TMW. The few exceptions were Katze, AlOns, and mrgrey( at the beginning) and sometimes Frost. This is precisely why Katie was suggested by o11c.

The question do we really need a GM is important to answer honestly. my opinion is that I prefer Gina as a game animator than as a game master for both Gina's and TMW's interests.

GMs are no longer just cops. We've actually made small changes to enable more live events. We are going further to improve this system as well. As the main problem with GMs is due to the limited number of them they always end up being the only one online and always playing cop. GMs should be part cop & part entertainment director. The more GMs available, the more GM events that happen. Ginaria is a perfect example of the entertainment director part. The players love their Pinkie Queen. Ginaria is often talking and entertaining people in Hurnscald.

Not just cops and entertainment, but observers. GMs, with their superpowers granted by both the community and TMWC tend to *really* know what's going on in the game and can(should?) provide valueable feedback into the development process!
