Those are the reasons people are voting "no."

Not because you're a "hard but fair person."

And so far, in this thread, which is being read by all potential votes, you haven't shown either of those two qualities.

I'm sorry, but you need to re-think your position and spend some time reading the actual GM guidelines rather than make promises based on what you pretty much invent in your head.

I'm sorry if such a negative response hurts your pride/feelings, but ultimately, you brought it up on yourself.

Perhaps I am more worried about what a GM should do, rather than what you think one should do.

I admitted that I haven't always been perfect. You seem to think that is a weakness, but I have always sought to reconcile and make things better. Perhaps you think a GM should be perfect? That is pretty naive, and young to think so.

Cheers.

Edit: I will always follow the rules of the place, but that will not stop me from making my own evaluations (from experience). As I said, if they don't like what I say, then ok, I will be gone. But to attack my experience, is a pretty noob thing too do, I am not new at this.

Errr... Are we even having the same conversation?

I rest my case.

My apologies.

I thought so.

*blinks* Okay, I'll just go now. No chances of you becoming a GM, anyway.

I agree.

even though this might not help our little guy getting a position I did find him very helpful
in fact helpful enough for me to go through the trouble of registering to the forums and going through it the first time

I vote yes, The reason, I know joey, he's a good guy, and I think could be a good gm. but nobody knows

Edit: the comment I was responding too was changed. But I will keep my comments as they are.

Nah, no pride has been hurt. I simply stated what a GM should be like in my opinion, if you think I am wrong, great, I bow to your superior expertise.

If you know the arbitrary rules better than me, great... but don't assume the arbitrary rules are sacrosanct. They are a guideline and can change.

@joey: bear in mind that this poll is if the community wants you as a gm
not if you want to be one

voted "no".

@Joey: You didn't make a few mistakes, your whole start in this game was a disaster and by trying to fix it so much you just make it worse. Example. You where so very annoying in the beginning, always bumping into conversation people had and then telling them to whisper. Always bootlicking at highleveled players. That was so annoying.
For some time you stopped it and I thought, "yay, he stopped, maybe he is ok and learned it." But then you came to me, and tried to fix something, I nearly had forgotten. ...
If you are like that as a GM... good night... I mean lets imagine the simple case, someone sweared at you because you enforced a rule. What will you do? Will you kick him immediately? Will you swear back? Will you tell him to please whisper the swearing? Will you warn him to stop? And what about two weeks after that? Can you be near the same person, that is now very calm, without always having one eye on what he says? And after 2 months? The person swears again. Will you go to him like "I warned you two months ago, now you get banned."?
