[PASS] Big Crunch 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.

[PASS] Big Crunch for GM!

Post by JackDeth »

I would like to officially nominate Big Crunch for a GM position.

My criteria are as follows:
  • "Crunchy" is very well known across the world of Mana.
  • From all accounts he is very well respected amongst the user community.
  • He is very helpful to those in need.
  • He is not publicly vulgar in his language.
  • He is very approachable.
  • His is completely trustworthy. I would have no problem loaning him something of great value and expecting him to return it.
  • He is a natural leader. He has great organisational ability. He heads up a guild made up of multiple parties and organises it all so each player member benefits and enjoys the game while working as a team.
  • He inspires others.
  • He has a great inner working knowledge of the game system but does not abuse that knowledge by doing questionable practices (ie. like botting, etc...).
  • He is a good mediator.
  • He is very fair in all his dealings.
  • He does not take advantage of others.
  • He does not appear to play favorites with anyone. He treats everyone the same.
Everyone who knows me in game know that I really hate politics and prefer to just stay out of anything that appears political as I prefer to just play, have fun, and help others to have fun. However, knowing that we need quality GM's to help keep things running smoothly, I felt compelled to post this.

There are only maybe a handful of people I have come to know well enough in the game that I would implicitly respect and trust. He is one of them. I would encourage everyone reading this to vote "Crunchy" for GM!

I'd like to second Jack's nomination. BC has been nothing but cool to not only myself, but all others who he encounters. He goes out of his way to helps others and has been, IMHO, an asset to the player community.

I voted yes. I always found Big Crunch in game to be quite helpful, online during long times and never breaking a rule. I really do think he can be a great candidate for a new GM on the server.

And I would like to state here about the point number 18. on Forum Rules that can be seen above. If you don't know well who is nominated, don't vote no, there is no obligation to vote at all, you can also remain neutral.

Good luck Big Crunch.
And remember: you play a game to have fun!

Hello everyone.

I would first like to thank everyone that has supported me. I would specifically like to thank JackDeth for nominating me. Its a great honor to be thought of, even by just one person, as a player that is worthy of consideration for the most prestigious position in our game, that of Game Master. I will gladly accept the position if I am elected and approved.

As a GM i will uphold the rules of the game to the letter. If this requires me to ban a friend or fellow party member then so be it. No one should be above or beyond the rules of the game. I will be fair, honest and polite. I believe that in my time on TMW i have proven those qualities to be of my character, not just A Character.

For those who are undecided or have voted no, i invite you to contact me either in game or via pm here so that perhaps i can resolve any issues or concerns you may have with me becoming GM.

Thank you for your support.

I voted yes
First time it is not based on my personal opinion, because I simply don't know Big Crunch.
I based my vote on the first post and the people who voted yes, because I know and trust most of them.

I voted yes, no doubt.

but a question, how many GMs do we need ?
to my eyes, positive attitude of players are more important than GMs.

I voted no, although I think he would make a great GM, he is still a far better player, and someone that still has the potiontal to run a guild. I dont think many others could manage that for a longer period. Therefor i think it would be a loss to the playerbase if you would join the GM's [it does influence your gaming routine in some ways].

I'm going for the Save Big Crunch's playhours front

Here's a yes vote, as first of all, Big Crunch IS approachable, he hasn't said he doesn't want the post, and he will stick to the rules of GMship.

I hope it works for you Crunchie mate.

I think Crunch should be a GM, because he is too good looking to not be in charge, right? xD

But seriously, he's awesome. He is helpful, honest, (quote everything everyone else already said), and an important point - he is often online at times when the current GMs are not. As much as I think GMs should be chosen by merit, not timing, this is an important thing to consider - I tend to see Tiana, Narus, KATZE ;), and Alons on at generally the same times, and there are enough times when none of the 4 are on (not counting the others who are rarely on lately). So, a GM who plays during those intervals is a nice bonus to consider, on top of my friend BC here being a good choice anyways.

Also - damn, I should have thought to nominate you before now, like you did for me haha xD. Hope you get the votes buddy, you got mine.
