All I know is that if you ask to be a staffer you will never be one.
With that said, I nominate Rye.
I wouldn't have asked except that I was told that that rule didn't apply to me. Then it turns out it potentially does. Which is fine.
So far as my "arguments for resuming my posi<b></b>tion", I want to be on staff again because EoFF is a nice place to be a lot of the time, a fact I had largely forgotten over the years. Staff here is a nice group of people and it's a group I'd enjoy being a part of again. And I like to feel productive. And I'm a control freak. Most of the "issues" I had when an admin in the past prevented me from enjoying it and taking full advantage of it, and now that I've moved past those "issues" I'd like to give it another try. Those are reasons why I want it; why (and whether) I deserve it is up to someone else to decide, but I think I'm non-dumb enough to help out around here in many capacities.
Lastly I think it's gotten rather boring here lately and I could certainly help make things less boring, by any means necessary. I thought maybe Shlup would spice things up a bit but she's mellowed in her old age, seemingly. Whereas I have grown more ruthless and more imaginative in subtle yet devastating ways. (That is a joke, for those unable to tell. ......or is it?)
All I'd really like is a yes or a no, rather than an unending echoing silence from the staff. So far, I'm not allowed to know who in staff approves of me and who doesn't, or why they do or why they don't, or whether they're leaning yes or no as a group, or whether they're even still talking about it. Which is largely fine; staff business is none of my business. I guess it's also fine if everyone on staff thinks I don't deserve an answer at all, but I'd rather enjoy an answer if one is available.
In my past experience (and this may no longer be true) staff worked by consensus. When a consensus couldn't be formed on a question, the question would be left unresolved forever until someone or something brought it again to everyone's attention. I'm guessing that's what's going on with me right now to some degree. If I raise enough of a stink, it'll force someone to make a decision eventually. If only to force a "no" by annoying everyone to death. That would be preferable to silence.
Fine? That's what is colloquially known as a "kick in the junk," Unne. Of course, EoFF staff is pretty good at that, which is the majority of the reason why I'm not right up there with you asking for my old berth back in spite of how much I miss the camraderie.Originally Posted by Dr Unne
I quit last time essentially without giving anyone a reason. It would be fitting for them not to give me a reason now.
I never mentioned a reason, only an answer. You'd have to take the "reason" with a grain of salt anyways, since it would have passed through enough political and rhetorical filters between the original thought and the words it was put into that you'd never be able to tell what was really meant anyways. They'd give you a paragraph of nonsense when the original reason was "The leprechauns who tell me to burn things say that Unne is the Devil."
Also, considering that staff jobs are unpaid, volunteer work, "I don't want to do this anymore" is a perfectly valid and unassailable reason to quit.
They yell at me now.
Uhh... I guess all that stuff I typed here should probably be PM'd.
Well, I whole-heartedly endorse the Unne for Admin crowd (two people). I realize that this will irrevocably ruin Unne's chances for admin, but that's the risk. I doubt it's because of any worry of Unne telling me stuff, but moreso just Shlup unwilling to do anything I want, which doesn't stem at all from her unrequited idolization of me (going so far as to also have an 8-year-old sister, which begs the question of what <i>won't</i> she do?). What were we talking about again?
We were talking about how long it's been since the last time I banned you and then forgot about it.
Yams told me the final answer is "no", so this thread can be closed now if you'd like. Thank you for the answer.
In all seriousness I see where Unne is comming from, no answer is the worst thing.
Lol Bley's that has to be the best reason ever for not wanting Unne to be an admin.
Am I the only one who feels like they just kicked a puppy?
Hence the
Damn you people. Now I no longer have a pretense for a campaign.
Of course, that's never stopped me before.
