Title: Your new leaders ARE....
Post by: Newby on August 03, 2006, 10:34:00 PM
Sixteen of you voted (shame on you that didn't!). The results are IN.

YOUR NEW LEADERS ARE...........


























































...

...

The same. Nobody changed.

iago came in first place with 14 votes.

MyndFyre came in second place with 9 votes.

Sidoh came in third place with 8 votes.

I'd just like to thank everyone for running and voting, This was one of the closest votes I've done in the history of x86 thus far. Infact, if it wasn't for the last vote or so I'd have to break a tie for second and possibly third place!

(I wonder what happens in a three-way tie for second... hmm...)

Congrats to those who won leadership (or kept it, in this case) and hats off to the contestants who put up quite a fight in the running. :)

Congratulations to you all; IIRC I voted for two of you, and of course don't have anything against the third.

Just a question but did anyone else even run?
Title: Re: Your new leaders ARE....
Post by: iago on August 04, 2006, 08:57:47 PM
Yeah, half the active clan ran:

    * CrAz3D
    * dark_drake
    * deadly7
    * GameSnake
    * iago
    * Joe
    * MyndFyre
    * Quik
    * Sidoh
    * Tuberload

I generally like to see every member run, but some are chickens :)

deadly7 can't be elected to office though.  He's foreign.  That's why Sidoh got the spot.

Post by: AntiVirus on August 04, 2006, 10:45:53 PM
I just dropped out because I didn't see any point in running.  It was obvious who was going to win.

Or don't have the time to commit/desire to be a leader at the moment ;)

WoW has taken away my attention from the forums :P I cannot run while this still remains a true statement.

statement = false;

GG.

I only run when I'm sure that in the event that I get elected I can fufill my duties. Last time I didn't do so hot when my PC got messed.

exactly what I thought.  There is no way I could do that right now, especially when school starts :P

You guys make it seem like running the clan is this big time-consuming job.  I have news for you: it's not (usually).

The things I actually do:

- Try to help members resolve disputes
- Consider new members
- Ban problematic people (Usually somebody beats me to it)
- Create boards for people (I usually make Sidoh do that)
- Make fun of people on the secret leaders-only board (kidding)
- Updates for the server (that's more because I run the server than because I'm a leader -- even if I wasn't leader I'd still do it)

As you can see, there isn't much to it, really.  Disputes are rare, new members are rare, problems are rare, and new boards are rare.  All I'm really needed for is to have a presence.

Replace "make fun of people" with "massive eOrgies" and that's basically what the leader forum is like.

What iago said. Plus handling voting, which, when multiple members are attempting to join, can be a pain in the ass more than anything.

That's what being a figurehead is like. >:D

Though I am glad that warrior/towelie would not run if they knew they couldn't be active; I'd like leaders to be active enough to at least hop on once or twice a day. That way, if a member has a problem and PMs a leader, the leader can respond at least within 24 hours.
