»CypherJF Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 I was a sysop of a SSC zone, and I've contributed a lot to Subspace through merv plugins, misc. application developments, and whatnot. It's just a fact of life, not everyone can have a position or power.
PoLiX Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Reaver, don't worry, I'm not on council, it's not really all that important to be.
Reaver Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 I'm not hung up on joining to feel important, so it won't be the end of the world if I'm not offered. Truth be told I've already helped out my zone quite a bit though I think I can do more. I believe I already meet the requirements for joining SS council. I'm only a Smod, but I believe http://twd.trenchwars.org might qualify me for the latter of the requirements but if not, well hey at least I tried.
Chambahs Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Yea, you dont need to be on the council, just know everyone who is Like polix.

DoCk> never wanted to be on council or anything to do with it, so be lucky you have even Pure_Luck stepping up and joining it, which was more just to have an active TW rep. That is great that you run TWD, but what about fin1 who runs all of EG's leagues? Or Demishadow, blur, and I think nelson and mauler, who run the biggest and longest running league who has it's own zone, Premier League? No offense, but they have just as much reason, if not more in Demi's case, to be on council. I myself choose not to, although I have been told I should rejoin, as it really serves no purpose to me. I do what I need for my websites, and involve my staff and members in what I need rather than the council. It takes a shorter time to get things decided and done that way. Like working to get IGN to do another review or even article on SS, would of been ages of discussion, and no action. Here, I talked to a few of my staff, and got the idea rolling the same day. So really, it honestly is kind of a waste of your time to think about it is all I'm saying.

Priitk has his own priorities as well. I wasn't trying to imply that I was most deserving to join the council, just that I believed I met the requirements and that I'm interested, is all. As for TW already having an active representative, that is indeed true, though my own personal feeling has always been that because TW has at least twice the population of the 2nd most populated zone, it ought to have twice the representation. As for the slow process of getting things done, I can understand that, I was mostly interested in helping with the grunt work you guys do helping the public. Anyways, I guess the next step to take in this endeavor is to introduce myself to those already on the council, so thanks everyone for the input.

Something like theescapist interview would've been a good thing to discuss with the council before doing (if you were on it, that is) in the very least to get some other perspectives, since it's advertising all of subspace, not just sscentral. Anyway, I guess what I'm getting at is that you seem to have a very low opinion of the council in general, and it's definitely something I wouldn't mind finding out more about.

CRe Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Representatives should be determined by population.
Hoch Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Representatives should be determined by population.What the !@#$%^&* do you think this is, a representativedemocracy? Wake up and smell the coca beans. Besides, it can be difficult enough to reach a consen-sus on the small group of that exists now. It wouldbe utter chaos to include more. Not to mention thefact that one per zone is enough considering the typeof decisions that are made. -Hoch
Delic Posted June 17, 2007 Report Posted June 17, 2007 I requested to get a name back once which I lost pw to....they saw it was the same IP / MID or w/e, but because of some time zone bias(?) they decided not to give it to me? ;/..and now I moved and stuff so there might not be a way to prove I was the owner ;/
BlueGoku Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 Must've been Mackie. If the IP and ID matched I'd have given you the name back.

I'll tell you guys he wants to do another one with me and gs, and that I got a writer for IGN a bit interested again by bringing up an idea for re-reviewing ss or giving us an article. Beyond that, I talk with Ghost, and MikeTheNose if needed. Since you guys decided the last time I said OK, i'll rejoin, that you didn't want me, I told Mike whatever bout trying to have me re-added once again. Giving away an answer I had given in the interview: "The thing I like least is that in the last few years, the centralization of the face of this game has fallen apart. Every zone has their own site, and that is fine, but none really advertise or give any help to the more generalized sites for the game. That in my opinion, has been the biggest blow to our incoming population." - Maybe that'll give some insight.
