Congratulations! You are now part of the staff! Hypothetically, at least. For this task your group will act as the staff, and you must come together to make an important decision...the very same decision that the current staff is trying to make right now.

You must decide the next Cid's Knight. You will not be deciding between real members, but 5 candidate profiles that we will provide you. Each candidate has their strengths and weaknesses that would make them a good Knight.

Please discuss the merits of each candidate in this thread, and together come to a decision on who to promote, with a reason why they were chosen over the rest.

For the duration of this task please stay out of the other teams' threads. We will be watching you. Remember, everything you do is graded.

Here are your candidates:


Candidate 1 -

  • Well known and respected by most of the veterans, but has not had much interaction with most of the the newer members.
  • Posts mainly in the general categories and Feedback.
  • Has a smart unique personality and outlook that not many others have.
  • Forum activity is currently moderate.


Candidate 2
  • Joined within the last year but has become one of the top posters during that time.
  • Well received and like by most of the newer members, but some of the oldbies will probably claim they've never heard of this person.
  • Active poster in all forums, but mainly in General Chat.
  • Friendly poster but has the tendency to spam and be immature at times.
  • Forum activity level is very high

Candidate 4
  • One of the top posters in General Chat for a number of years.
  • Everyone's buddy. Has won numerous Ciddies in many different categories.
  • Generally well liked by the community, but has had run-ins with the staff due to their non-serious, jokster nature.
  • At one point claimed to be "anti-staff" but that position has since changed.
  • Forum activity level is high in the General forums. Never visits the gaming forums.


Candidate 5
  • Since joining EoFF two years ago, this person has dived right into the community and become an active poster throughout the forum.
  • Is constantly posting ideas for new events and making interesting, interactive threads.
  • Well liked by the community for their upbeat personality.
  • Sensitive in nature, this poster shies away from confrontation and prefers to go with the flow.
