Round 3 Part 2 - Team 2 (Team Awesome)

[ljkkjlcm9]

So, are we in agreement on the promotion of 1, and either 3 or 5?

Pretty much, and we can safely say I'm gonna support 3, and GoBo will support 5.

I think that is where everyone who is active in the debate right now is at... I am seeing if we could make another thread for our final votes to keep everything orginized.

EDIT: Alright, all of our votes have to be managed within this thread, in an hour and a half at latest we should make our final votes.

[edczxcvbnm]

1 and 5 for me.

[oddler]

Like I said before concerning Candidate 5, not taking initiative or shying away from a conflict can be a bad trait but, when everything else is added together from all the other candidates, I feel that there is going to be something about each of them that's going to make us want to hold back on promoting them.

After reading what you guys have said, I have had no change of heart for Candidate 3. It seems like this person would be a better help to the forum as a go-to guy than a moderator.

I'm definitely leaning toward Candidate 1 for promotion. Hands down.

Edit: Bear this in mind. When a person is promoted, they have access to everything we've written. They'll see what has been thought about them and I think that has a strong chance to change the things that the staff thinks they lack. With Candidate 5, that would be the confrontation problem. I think being promoted could actually help Candidate 5 with that problem.

1 and 5 for me, also.

[Dolentrean]

Ok, 1 for certain.

If we promote a second person I am for 3

[ljkkjlcm9]

so right now

me: 1 and 3
Takara: 1 and 3
Dolentrean: 1 and 3
Ed: 1 and 5
Boko: 1 and 5
Oddler: 1 and 5

why don't we just support candidate 1 and only candidate 1?
if we were really staff in this competition, we could easily approach candidate 5 or 3 and say why they weren't accepted. If they wanted to be on staff in the future, they could improve in the lacking areas, and get promoted later.

Alright Dol said that "Its okay if we have 2 people viewing the entire forum instead of 1." Having 1 and 3, we leave out events, something we're understaffed on.

Also using your own argument 3 was described as "Calm and low-key demeanor."

Just talked this over with someone, Low-key in demeanor, means people are more quiet, a bit more to themselves. Don't you think your main argument, unwillingness to stand-up for themselves, applies to someone low-key in demeanor?

EDIT: Because if we only support candidate one, then I feel he has holes. He doesn't visit gaming, and he doesn't bridge with newbies.

low key in demeanor means they're more restrained. Someone low-key in demeanor is in control of their emotions. Doesn't get overexcited, won't get angry easy... etc etc

and I really don't see how you can say we're understaffed in events when we have 10 people doing an event right now!

THE JACKEL

[oddler]

But we do, Goldenboko. This person is here to fill our holes.

Edit: Exactly what ljkkjlcm9 just said.

[Goldenboko]

We're doing an event, which as much easier then setting one up.

I had trouble with holding together a small C9 mafia. Can anyone here say they're confident they can do a great job being Award Guy?

[edczxcvbnm]

We are understaffed because we are not creating and running events.

[ljkkjlcm9]

Yeah, I could do Award guy if I wanted to. If no one else wanted to, I would gladly step up and fill the role. But obviously, no matter what, award guy becomes a full time position and that person's other moderating things would slack off. It doesn't matter who is in that position.

I would gladly organize and form events. And if the claim is that only staff can organize and form events, well, then how do we know how well half the people in this group we already have, would be good at it.

In Candidate 5 we have someone with experience setting up events. Have you ever set up an event?

I can step up and go be a kick ass mofo in the gaming forums also! The fact is that we do not do either of those things currently. If all we have to do is step it up then we don't need a mod.

at this website, no

I run a facebook group for an online game, and constantly update and start events for people. I post at another forum where I moderate and run events. There has been no reason for me to do events here because other people always have.

Hell, in high school I ran tech crew, and stage managed, and ran entire school plays. Advertising, selling tickets, and then the actually running the show.
