My dear fellow peasants, I'm kindly asking you to consider electing our brother Melkior to be a GM. I honestly thing he would be good GM, and here are some of my reasons you will hopefully share.

Melkior is an old player. He was standing on the beach watching Hurnscald raising from the sea. And he didn't blink.

He is an active player. And he actually plays, not levels. There's a difference. Even I outlevel him, and I'm a noob.

He's a grown up. He will not burst into flames easily, and if he does there'll sure be a good reason for that.

He's IT guy. He knows difference between that box that goes beep and flashes green and red sometimes and that another box that does just the same but has some different letters on it and has an antenna. And wires. I don't.

He is patient with noobs. If it wasn't for him I'd still be smashing worms in Tulim with a knife thinking it's a great game.

I've never seen him or heard that he has been unfair, or scammed anyone. Or he's damn good at it, dunno.

He likes cookies. Give him some when you see him, that'll make him happy.

And last but not least, he knows fashion. He's really into it. Many don't know that he's well known has Fashion Cat. Some might say this is irrelevant, but think again, is it? Would you trust a GM who can not match colours of his tank top and socks? Or wear pink skirt and red cotton boots? I don't think so.

Seriously, he'd be great GM.

If anyone has something to add, please do.

See you ingame!

Nice person, reasonable, not too serious, likes trees. Voted yes!

I support, he's a kind and serious player, that's what the community need in this time.

Good idea! Mel is really nice guy - decent, polite, kind, friendly, compassionate... poet, artist... *cough*

I vote yes

good luck Melkior

I find myself in an unusual situation, for numerous reasons. But I'll list those later.

First of all, I really have to thank Hrvoje for this rather unorthodox nomination topic. If nothing else, it provided a really good laugh while making me blush at the same time. Thank you, Hrvoje.

And while I'm on the topic of thanking people, I must thank everyone who's shown support for me, as well as those of you that might do so in the future.

As for those who voted no... *goes looking for a certain Liam Neeson quote*

Seriously, though, thank you for voting, regardless of how you decide to vote. I think it's fairly important to make decisions about this game when you're given a chance to do so.

While I'm certainly honoured to be nominated, like I mentioned, it's an unusual experience for me.

I had left this game, a fairly long time ago, and thought I'd never be back. But here I am. I used to clash a lot with the old crowd who was running the game at that time and I even disagreed with this method of choosing GMs, back when it was first introduced. So, that's why I never expected to be nominated for a GM.

But I'd like to think my time away from the game gave me a different perspective on certain things, and at the same time certain things here have changed as well. There's a different group in charge, and I think it's for the better. I like where this game is going, and I'd like to help. And I have to admit, I was wrong when I opposed the polls for picking GMs, as they obviously seem to work.

Now a little bit about me... I'm 27 years old and I live in Croatia. If you don't know where that is, that's fine, most people don't. What is important about that fact is that I'm in the CET (GMT+1) timezone, and I'm on at odd hours. I think I could help with providing TMW with a 24/7 GM coverage.

I've been playing this game for a very long time, close to 7 years now, and while I have more than one character, most of my in-game time is spent as Melkior. I'd like to believe I know this game well and I don't mean just the mechanics, but also the social dynamics.

I won't do Crush's GM wannabe questionnaire unless someone specifically asks me to do so. While I think it's a decent questionnaire, I don't think it'll provide you with any tangible info about me.

If you've never heard of me, or want to know more about me, you're free to contact me here (via PMs), in-game or on IRC. You'll find me under the name Melkior in all those places.

Thank you for your support.

Voted yes, also on behalf of Grim cause he doesn't have a forum account. (could this be considered 2 votes )

nothing personal but voted No

I don't know Melkior personally but the times I have seen him online we already have GMs online. We don't need another GM on for this time frame IMO.

Voted no for now but may change later on.

This is the list of active GMs. 5 out of 6 are in America, one is in Europe. Another european GM is exactly what we need.

And that is the only reason I will vote YES! WE need more GMs that can match awesome clothes together!!!!!

(Now my real reason) I think he can be a great addition to the GM team, I like Melkior, I know he was not active for a long time, but since he returned to the game he is online everyday and he already catched up with the latest changes in game, I think we can work really well with him. He has a great attitude and is really polite with other players, he has a mature head on his shoulders and as I said I think he will be great as GM.

And that list is outdated, a few members are not so active lately due to personal things, so we are 3 "daily" active GMs lately and we will be very happy to have another active GM in European time zones. Being from Croatia for me is a plus, he can be online in hours we can´t be.

So a yes from me.

Another European GM is a great idea, Melkior seems to fit the bill.

He has got my support.

I give Melkior 2 thumbs up, i feel he would make a fine GM!
The time zone is also another bonus.
