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.

Re: Verdo For GM
Nobody is better than verdo for this job: he knows the game very well and he's often online when the other gms are not and that is really important, he's rly kind and helpful. I think that he would be a wonderful gm.

The job of being a GM is not to help people but to enforce the rules.
Re: Verdo For GM
He has always behaved well-mannered with me, and from what I've heard not only with me. He is helpful and polite, I honestly think that he could be a great GM if he really wanted to make a good job.
I voted yes.
I voted yes.
And remember: you play a game to have fun!

Re: Verdo For GM
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who voted and I appreciate the comments.
Second, I would like to post the replies to Crush's questions for players who want to be a GM in player talk.
1. "What is the best way to help a new player who just started playing the game in your opinion (when you are not a game master but just a normal player)?"
In my opinion, there would need to be a balance to how much you help and how little you help. I would start by showing them where to get the trade and party skills also the smiles, then about the monster points. I would next show him where to start the quests and even help him along (but not to much help) if I have time.
2. "When you would have the ability to spawn items using a GM command, who would get what from you?"
They would get nothing, if I start giving items away, players are going to keep coming and beg (which is against the rules and I would be the cause of them begging, which would make me a bad GM) for more and would get out of hand, which would be very unfair and not very fun at all.
3. "You are a GM, get online and immediately receive reports about these behaviors by different players about different players. Please order them by your priority in dealing with them:"
1. botting, 2. insults, 3. spamming, 4. not speaking English in public, 5. advertisement.
I can not do anything about the scamming since it is not against the rules.
4. "A player disagrees with your decisions and starts to insult you in public. How would you react?"
I would warn him about the insults since it is against the rules, I would then talk to him about why I made the decision, and hopefully come to some understanding.
I thank everyone again for their votes and comments.

Re: Verdo For GM
I know him as a polite, fair and sympathetic player for quite a while and I have never heard something bad about him. He helped me several times and I'm sure he would/will make a great Game Master.
Verdo, you have my vote, good luck!
