Post in this thread if you want to find out by being put within a group and then having to decide amongst yourselves! There will be a limit to how many people can be involved in this but, with our Knighting decision-making sometimes coming up to 668 posts, it could prove interesting!

I'll pick and choose who will be involved in the group once I've gone through the posting habits and considered the different behaviours involved with each member who is interested. I want to try to ensure you guys are pretty diverse!

EDIT: Please note that this will have little to no effect on who the future Cid's Knights are, this is just for fun.

It would be interesting to make two groups and see if the same names between the two keep coming up.

Like Manus, I have no idea what you just said.

I'm in, though! :D

Basically, I'm going to get a group of you - roughly 20-25 - and you will have a thread made for you in which you will start a debate in order to find out who you will agree on as being the ideal next Cid's Knight. It's all for fun - they won't actually be the next Cid's Knight (well, they might, but not because of anything here).

The main thing is that you will all have to go through all the candidates and pick out one person of which you can all agree on. Everyone will have the power of veto, but they will have to back up any veto. It will therefore require co-operation and compromise. I will provide any stats that I feel are reasonable enough to be asked for. Obviously, as the people deciding on who it will be, there will be no point in nominating yourselves as you will already be on the team.

In short, the only differences to how we do it in the staff forum will be...

a) You have to obey the forum rules - no double posting, no swearing, etc. etc.
b) It's not actually going to end up with the person becoming a Cid's Knight.
and c) It will be in full view of the public, most notably!

Are you wanting to be involved in the group or are you asking in advance for the group to pick you? xD

If I'm in this, it would be improper for me to become the CK nominee, and I would be compelled to veto myself if it came up. Ergo, I am not interested in volunteering for this. :)

I would like to be in it. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. This should be interesting.

I won't be around next week though... when's this thing ACTUALLY gonna start?

Bunny
10-13-2007, 03:38 PM
I will take part in this. But it is very likely that I will forget I am taking part in this and not debate at all.

I will still do it!

We all know there aren't enough Canadian Cks, and so it will be me.

As per my previous post, you would be basically pretending to be on a forums staff and would be picking from everyone else. You vetoing yourself wouldn't be possible as you'd already be on the staff. I hope that makes sense.

Or do you mean that you don't want to sign up because you want to be a candidate for the people who are involved to choose from?

Sorry dude, Leeza's on the ball with this one - no staffers. Unless you want to help with stats and "this person reports a lot of posts" kind of stuff!

Araciel
10-13-2007, 06:46 PM
Wait...if we see bad posts or advertising/whatnot we can report it?!

Miriel

Oh snap, look at MILF strategizing. I think what you say is true though. :p

Yamaneko
10-13-2007, 07:37 PM
And remember, kids, "because he/she is too chirpy and thus insincere" are adequate grounds for not considering someone.

Everyone who signed up so far is perfect for this. That's kinda neat.

I suppose that's fair enough, actually. Okay, you don't get the reported posts stuff since it's confidential!

Dyslexicon: You will not be an actual staffer, this is all just a mock-staff kind of thing. So yes you can still report posts. xD Think of this as a Forums Staff Simulator!

Does this have anything to do with that silly VTG thread? If so, you are pretty clever BoB :)

Anyway, I'll join too.

That is exactly what I mean. :D I wish to attain victory over others. To have already done so would be less fantastic than to do so currently.

I'd say staffers should be available for statistical queries for whoever wants them. And by staffers I mean BoB.

Yamaneko
10-13-2007, 10:29 PM
There's no incentive to pick the right people or come to a consensus about anything. If we pick the wrong person people die. That and we might get stuck with an annoying twit for a very long time. And before the punchline can be made, yes, that person was me.

I was thinking you would be the one to piss the rest of them off (the BoB of the group, so to speak), but you're welcome to take it as a compliment.

I acctually always wondered if I could become a CK or not, so I guess I will sign up for this.


(If I get picked you all will have a good debater on your hands.)
