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.

Regards.
After this post I am not even sure the poll and its rules are not a farce.
Instead of complaining about it, you could organize a campaign drive to have players get acquainted with Tiana and drum up some votes. Consider it a quest to get people aware of the attempt to vote Tiana in and who Tiana is and why she wants to be a GM.
Ingame, they already have to some effect. But the fact that there are so many voters who voted against amongst the 100+, doesn't this say something about Tiana?
You've got to stop and wonder, WHY do so many people not want Tiana as a jGM?
Thedarkfinder if you wish to discuss this please make a new post in player talk so we can do this accurately with you and not disrupt her from becoming a gm.

At this time with Tiana geting so close to 75% of the votes, I recommend she be contacted by you, (friends of Tiana) to get her to at least reply to these statements, I am an undecided voter and would prefer to hear statements from Tiana.
It may change many other "no" voters to change their vote, or convince those who still haven't voted to cast a more educated vote.

If anyone would like to speak to me, you may send me a PM via the forums, or ask your question(s) in a thread under Player Talk. I am also more than willing to speak with people in-game also.
Thank you

Tiana has reached the required votes and will now be considered for a GM position.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Tiana passed the voting. We will now validate her and ask if she wants to be a GM (if no valid objections will be stated, in case of such objections the information will be posted here).
So when anyone has any GOOD reasons that Tiana should not become a game master then please send the evidence to one of us. It will be handled confidentially.
