i think Derp would make a great gm because she's fair and helpful and she's online when the gm's aren't. Good luck derp

I voted no,
Derpella is a friendly player but..
I dont think derpella is ready to be a GM yet, there are some situations ive seen she takes to personally and i dont think that would be a good thing for a GM to do. GM's are supose to make sure the rules are being followed i just dont think she can make wise decisions while taking things personally players might say in the situation of banning them.

The other thing, when I see GM's behaving like a good uncles to 12-year old spammers, I just...
So. Read this post and vote as you like.

Also Being a GM is not just about representing as GHP its about working WITH the rest of your team, Putting your team down isnt the way to represent the GHP.

Good luck,
Chicka

if I could, I would definitely vote yes. Derp has a friendly personality, likes to help, is not hotheaded or seemingly power hungry, and seems like someone who can get things done. Good luck Derp.

Stick around and have meaningful conversations (some forums, like Off-Topic, are automatically discounted). One of the (admittedly few) benefits of it taking so long for a GM poll to finish is that you'll have plenty of time to do this.

(Hm, I wonder if it would be better if we didn't publish the number of necessary posts ... Hm, an admin *still* needs to edit rule 21 to take out that link ...)

First, I want to sincerely thank Chicka for her post.
It is much easier to answer to someone's doubts when you know how they look like, than see all negative votes and positive comments.

First, I must say many, many things changed since this poll was opened.

Yes, I got personal about the thread, because it was an obvious trolling directed at me. But I got over it. And what is even funnier, now I consider my relations with people who did it as correct, or even good :)

Yes, sometimes I have my emotions. But the worse thing my emotions do to me is pout a bit, or become more careful/suspicious, and not making a big tantrum.
I was a mod on a big forums, trusted with banning and warning. And I can differ my own opinions from a existing rules. Yes, there were lots of people with cringeworthy opinions there. No, I never did any "official" stuff to fight them. This would be like using an aimbot on own FPS server :) I would feel like the losing side in argument if I did something like this. But I remember a situation where I had to give a double-warn (3 warns= ban) to a person I considered a friend, when he was arguing with a person I didn't like in a dirty way.
And the most important, I am able to apologize when I feel I have done something wrong.

About GHP: When the people of power agree in everything, this means there is some serious dictatorship out there :)
As you know, GM's have their own subforums. And I believe if discussing things over there leads to some decisions, even if you are in disagreeing minority, you should comply... but this doesn't mean one should have no own opinion at all! This would lead to zombies in power! And I am sure the GM's I know have their own opinion, and took their voice when disputing on their own forums.

This is exacly what im worried about, As a GM you have to be able to handle trolls without feeling personal over what they say or do to you, This will make you act on your feelings more than acting on the rules, like you did with your first post.

Opinions are great dont get me wrong, but they are out of line if they put others down in the process esspecially people you would be working with.

Where had I broke any rule? ;)
I feel in this moment you try to provoke me to go on some personal matters. I will listen to your advice though and refrain myself :)
Besides, acting in discussions != acting as a person in power. It's like telling the policeman should never talk about the favourite band, because he may arrest someone who prefers speed metal from 80's pop. You know the rules, and so do I.

Yes, this is a serious thing.
Since this topic started, I looked carefully as I could at GM's work. Their way of dealing with kids is fine. As I stated earlier, yes, I am able to apologize for wrong statements. And I do apologize, because the way I formulated it was wrong and hurting.
However, I will flatter myself, I have some talents in this matter :) Together with Frost, we achieved, for example, helping a person known as a bit troublesome becoming a valuable tester...

There is definitely disagreement within the GHP at times.

exactly what i mean when i say you take things to personally. I am pointing out cons and you take it personal something a GM should not do.

good luck anyway!

Hey Mom:
Derpella is not yet a GM! thus I don't see anything wrong if she posts any different idea to those of actual GMs about rule application.
It seems to me that you did express opinions that differ from GM's and GHP's ones before your polls began and I don't see anything wrong with it.
You had also issues with some players in the first one and that does not mean by itself that you were not able to act above your personal feelings.

this poll isn't about me, lets try and stay on topic and keep it about Derpella.
Also, putting down and having an opinion are 2 different things.
