Forum/game moderator: Nominations

[Illuminatus]

If they nominated themselves, the yes, we should force them to leave. They should though about that before joining/nominating.

[Drogue]

I'd love to do it. I don't have much time until the 25th June (exams) but after that, I have much time and would love to get back involved, plus I'd *much* rather it was as a mod than as a player in a team.

As for experience, those who know L'Event will know I'm an admin there. Admittedly, I can't mod an SMAC/X scenario, but for modship, that doesn't seem much of a problem.

[Kassiopeia]

Could start the poll in a few hours, after all in this case we don't actually need people to be present since anyone can nominate anyone... in any case, how long do these "important" polls usually last? Is it the old 48 hours we had when I played the last time? Oh and a description of the job would be appropriate in the OP as well.

[Method]

I don't want to be God in a Tassadaresque fashion, I'm just saying I can help randomly lock/top threads and so forth. Being God requires me to pay attention to the game, and if I was going to do that, I might as well just play it, hmm?

[Snowflake]

Yes we still need a CMN type guy, separate from the mod here. At least this is what I understand.

[Googlie]

Given:

1) that Morgan has (without me) 20 players already

and

2) that Morgan doesn't appear to be proceeding along the lines that first attracted me to it

and

3) that it's highly unlikely that a fifth faction - a Morgan clone (where I could, with a few others, put my ideas into effect) - would be approved by this group

and notwithstanding Kass's comment:

I'd be happy to CMN/Mod this next game and to work with Buster in getting it set up

We don't have a CMN yet?! I thought someone (Darsnan? Edit: Buster?) agreed to do that. I guess we could always make him the God as well and have a simple moderator. Hmm. This needs to be sorted out before we elect anyone, if we don't even know what the elected's going to be doing in the first place.

[Googlie]

Darsnan was co-opted into the Gaian faction

[Kassiopeia]

As far as I see it, there are three jobs:

- moderator, does the simple locking and moving stuff Method mentioned.
- God, the Tassadaresque arbiter.
- CMN, controls the technical aspect of the game, sets it up, etc.

Buster is a CMN, or at least he sets the game up. Now, are we going to elect;

1) a co-CMN, a God and a moderator all rolled into one
2) a moderator, and make Buster a God and the CMN
3) a God and a moderator and keep Buster as sole CMN

Thing is, we have nominees who have been nominated to any of these three but not all of them.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused having not followed everything here for the past few months.

[Snowflake]

Co-opted huh?

I think buster's agreed to create the map for the game. However I'm unclear if he said anything about managing the game. The moderator we are talking here I understand is more of the guy who tops and locks threads and such, which I think Drogue and Method and Oct can do pretty good. But if buster does not feel too much burdened to do all of those then it's perhaps even better since it makes it simpler. He may need somebody to assist him when he is away in a short period or something like that happens, so perhaps Googlie would be good in that capacity because he is more of a CMN type of guy anyway.

[smacksim]

Kass, did you say something about a job for God? I heard you

Googlie, if the Morganites no longer appeal to you and in case you wouldn't become CMN, you're always welcome with the Spartans, if the other Morganites don't mind. The game hasn't started yet and no secret info is known, so I presume faction switching is still allowed.

[Skanky Burns]

I support either Drogue or Googlie as CMN/Mod.
I also support Googlie joining Spartans, should he so choose.

And to get around the old adage, I nominate Googlie.

Let's do that.
Someone as a CMN
Someone as a Tassagod
Someone as Tacticus.
