bumping for great justice

He doesn't have 75%/60 votes for yes yet.

Regards.

In all honesty, of almost everyone nominated in this section, Big Crunch is the Only one I'd be truly glad to see become GM. It is truly disturbing that these polls seem to be based on general popularity. I mean, if you vote no for somebody because you don't like someone they associate with, or because you don't know them... people who do that ruin the whole point of these polls. We're not voting for our new best friend, we're voting for someone who will be responsible and is willing to possibly give up popularity to uphold the rules.

My point is, I've seen a few people who could have done well, who were just swamped in no votes and had no chance. While I doubt I would have made the best GM, I didn't have any enemies in game, yet in my own topic I ended up with about 60 no votes. BC is balanced, I've yet to see him actually get angry and respond negatively to anything. He is nice, and helpful, which are not requirements for a GM, but he should be popular enough to get the votes he needs if that's what it comes down to. Like I've said, he's also often on at times that I never see the other GMs online at, which would be a big help filling that gap where there are no GMs online for hours.

So, why not do the game a favor, instead of just voting when friends of yours are nominated, and vote yes?

GM-s are not only the police, they are for players. So players are nominating them, and GHP just regulates it as every other aspect of the game.

Even I changed my vote to yes! So to all my hateboys, that is the 28% nay voters, click the little o before Yes, then press SUBMIT !

@BC: You could send people to me if they only know German... x) or Dutch. or maybe Russian. but it would be better to find someone else since my Russian is quite crappy.
BUT(!) I don't think helping new players the way you described it is really the JOB of a GM. I mean, we CAN do that if we want to. But it's not our duty. Therefore we mustn't use our GM-commands for that either. IMO, it would be better to directly delegate the newbe helping part to some nice player who hasn't got any extra responsibilities.

About the "advertising other servers" thingy...It's not against any rules - only if it becomes spam.

You can all kill me, but I changed my vote to "no" for now. Might change it back though.

Thank you for your honesty, Katze. I didn't know you spoke so many languages!

The reason I answered the way I did is because as a GM you are the only obvious form of authority. Therefore its natural for a new player to gravitate toward you for answers and help.

Concerning the advertising another server, I assumed that the question intended the offending party was spamming, either in traditional fashion or via bulk whispers, not just mentioning in conversation.

Either way thank you for your response and I look forward to answering any future questions anyone may have.

I didn't let my comment yet, but of course I voted yes for BC.
We used to be of the same party, and I could have the pleasure to know this awesome man.
I'm sure that if He gets that position as a GM, He's going to be a good one, respecting the players and being honest with all of them, but at the same time enforcing the rules.

He has his own opinions about the game, and I really can see that He cares about it. I wish you the best BC, hopeful to see you as a GM.

This man tried to free the Terranite Cave and came pretty far. Change your vote to yes if you want him to succeed!

He now needs only 2% to qualify.

Regards.

Voted : almost done ...

I'm changing my NO vote to YES, only cause you need a 1% more to can be GM..

now you got it.

I can neatly hear the sound of "almost" mutating into "totally" ...

Acta fabula est !

The 75% of the "yes" votes have been reached.

Thread closed.

The GHP will now discuss if there is any reason not to make Big Crunch a GM.
