Matt for GM

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.

Do you admit that Matt is more than qualified to be a GM?

Matt for GM

Post by Turmfalke »

Since no one else came up with the idea I am doing it now. Hereby I nominate our Matt for GM-election.

To support him I looked through all the other threads here to find a few arguments so that everyone might pick his favorite and vote yes.
  • Matt is definitely well known and unique.
  • Matt is with more than 5 years the oldest still active player.
  • Matt's stories of fighting the mighty scorpion with a butter knife beats the pants off Kfar's sandworm storie.
  • Matt is capable of identifying every newbie in a split second.
  • Matt can with 1400 posts, be considered as very active.
  • Matt has the biggest collection of bottled sand.
  • Matt is able to deal with critics in a very professional way.
  • and most important: Image

Interesting thread.

Well, I like Matt based upon what I've read of his here in the forum. However, I have never EVER seen him in game.

So, regretfully I must vote yes for shnitzels but no for Matt.

i voted "no".
here the reasons:

- He doesn't smell like roses
- He is a man
- He might be an alien or worse, a spy

but seriously:
- I never saw him online in the game
- He behaves like crap in the forums (sorry)
- Being active in the forums and the irc is a nice treaty but the important thing is the game.
- I don't want a GM who tells everyone that they suck
- Measured by his behaving here in the forum I would not like him as a GM. Only smarta** answers that have no value at all (at least in the sections "offtopic" and "Community")
- He doesn't know the ingame community (as he is never online, at least not with the char Matt)
