New Order/BlackSquadron Role Play Rules - n00bl3t - 12-29-2008

How did the Zoner council "election" work? In brief, if you could be bothered.
It could just turn into a popularity contest, which is why some would be against it.
Pretty much, you get a Zoner ID and IFF and say you want to be on the council.

Quote:First all order people who can be bothered show up at a thread I make and vote as to whether people who do not have order characters should be able to vote.
That's not your decision, wolf and the admins are working on that right now.
As far as I'm aware, only players who have order characters will be able to place their votes.
Quote:Then, another thread I make, depending on the results of the first thread, has a vote by either all the people who have order characters or everyone as to who should be on the council.
A problem with the forum poll option, it doesnt prevent people without characters of a specific faction from voting. Votes will have to be counted up manually, with each person who posts listing their order character(s).

Orin was asking for how Remora's voting method could work. I posted a hypothetical solution.
It was not an attempt to take control of this order council. Go back and read the previous posts.

I wasnt insinuating that you were, only saying that the admins are currently deciding how things will be done.
If it were my choice, the voting would have already started, I dont like waiting around for things to get done.

If n00bl3t does make a topic and a vote for the council, you can't stop him and it is in his power to do so. Remember that this 'council' firstly doesn't exist yet, nor does it hold any power in reality. People could just as easily fling up a 'council' tomorrow if they wanted and it would be the same, save less Bs| interferance.

like i said, admins are discussing things, thats why a voting topic hasnt been made yet.

How should this election take place? Please provide a solution if you're going to continually criticize this into the ground.
(If it makes any difference, I "vote" Tenacity deserves a spot.)
As for the rest, since this was directed at me, here is how I think it could be done:
Some 3rd party person (someone with no order character) creates a thread for nominations. Nominations are PMed to them. Each nominee gets to PM that moderator a brief summery of why they should serve on the council.
Then every order character can post in the thread their name and what three canadates they want. The votes are tallied up, and the top three votes become the independant representation.
Here's how I think it SHOULD be done:
Elections done fairly and right.
As long as Tenacity gets on the council in the way it SHOULD be done, I do not have a problem with him being on the council. Again, I am not voting for him. The Inconsistancies in his RP bother me too much for that, but as long as the elections were fair and right, i will follow the council, even with him on it.

I actually suggested something similar to that for the voting remora, it was denied because the people running this dont want to make anyone's votes public.

' Wrote:I actually suggested something similar to that for the voting remora, it was denied because the people running this dont want to make anyone's votes public.What kind of assurances do we order independants have that it was done fairly and right then, instead of secretly selected with our votes thrown out?
Shouldn't the independants decide how the independants choose to decide how the independants are chosen? Who is denying us that right!
Okay, that sounds a little rediculious to me too, but the point is, whose hands is the voting proccess in? Are those hands trustworthy? What are the plans for those hands to prove that the outcome was legitimate?
New Order/BlackSquadron Role Play Rules - Drake - 12-29-2008
We have to assume that the Admins are trustworthy. If one of them collects and counts the votes, we have to assume that all's counted fairly.
Or let me do it. I'm incorruptible, like Batman.
