I never said it before.

It's only as diverse as the candidates you consider. And you can consider them without opening the matter to the public.

We (staff of GK) consider, yes! "Ideally we make sure they're good staff." (who said this, hmmm...?)

Quote:

Appointing staff isn't supposed to be about "fun". It's about appointing staff. Ideally we make sure they're good staff.

That´s a game! And a game is fun. EM is a job for giving fun. Who is "we"? Are you staff? I dont think so, so why you talking as such?

Quote:

Tough! Nobody said that administration was easy. Pandering to the players' whinings is not the way to go.

Never said it´s easy. And I listen what the player say, but I don´t like to hear always the same from the same players.

Quote:

So stop trying, and focus on developing the best team possible.

That´s what I try to do.
I don´t know why you are talking in that way to me, but I hope you would talk a bit more friendly in the future.

Its sad that Sam has to host all the time, and sometimes even Bjoern (yes, I spelled this correctly). Have the EM lost interest in hosting? I know that players like to screw up events, so maybe EM's should have the right to pillory, so they can keep control of the events they are hosting. The EM position is more important then they are credited for.

I disagree.

Yes, Chris maybe I made a mistake but I still hope it wasn´t a mistake. A staff team chose 3 of the best and the players can vote for one of them. I still hope it works. :)

Then I suspect that you expected me to disagree?

No, I expected nothing from you.

You didn't make any mistake. Your intentions were perfectly fine. You're trying to give the players a say, but sometimes the players will turn your noble intentions around into selfishness or jealousy. :frown:

Yes you did. You announced that you were going to have a vote.

Dawg, I don't even know what you're trying to say. The fact remains that votes don't make the possible candidates more diverse.

I am making no such implication. Please do not fault my use of English until you know a little more about it.

The point is that participating in a vote is not particularly fun. It will be easily outweighed by the influence of a poorly-chosen EM.

Again: Tough. Being staff is not about doing things that you like. It's about responsibilities.

Does "friendly" mean ignoring destructive decisions? If so, you may not get your wish.

I send slurf a PM, but I doubt I have a chance, I am not the most "popular" and "trustable" player. Its worth a try though!

Wrong! I decided to do it in that way. That´s it. No more discussion about this decision. Thread closed!
