Stormcrow Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Barring his refusal, LVN will be replacing Sargun. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargun II Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I highly object. I asked LVN to do the map simply because I am a staunch objector of Sumeragi being a mapmaker. Her blatant power-grab (as she admitted to me) frightens me to no end, and I wonder what she could have done. Simply appointing LVN without any consult to the community is laughable. Nothing against you, LVN. I like you, but I'd like it better if we had someone who the people actually appointed. edit: however, at least LVN won't take !@#$%^&* from anyone.. perhaps it's someone like him we need Edited April 21, 2009 by Sargun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malatose Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree with Vince being map maker. Also, I think the mod should be community appointed, as Sargun has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Confederation Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 As the GM interacts with the community more than anything, and the community has to live with the decisions the GM makes, I feel it is of the utmost importance for the community to choose who the GM is. I also support Vince with the maps, he's quite the artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Terra Di Agea Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I highly object. I asked LVN to do the map simply because I am a staunch objector of Sumeragi being a mapmaker. Her blatant power-grab (as she admitted to me) frightens me to no end, and I wonder what she could have done. Simply appointing LVN without any consult to the community is laughable.Nothing against you, LVN. I like you, but I'd like it better if we had someone who the people actually appointed. I however do have something to say of LVN as GM. In short, NO! In length: Nothing agaisnt you/ him, but LVN is... how to phrase this without flaming... imposing and forceful, while also being disagreeable and intrusive. He has minimal ability to compromise, and often tries to force rules on the community that would be detrimental to everyone below his NS/ tech. Example: -Trying to force us into that linear tech scale --Despite consistent denial from the community as a whole, he still tries to force it on us, using his own godmodding as an example of things that can be prevented by using it, despite the fact that for someone with his tech, it puts them as modern technology, but for a lot of other people, it pushed their tech year from the eighties to the forties or fifties. Right now, he's trying to say that it would solve the tech sharing issues, and make everyone happier, while trying to make us feel like he's a victim of the harsh cruelties of CNRP's community. Another Example: -He flames and clearly tries to force other people from the RP --Ever notice how every time Sumeragi, Uberstein or I (or just about anyone else for that matter) puts something into production, he goes on IC and occasionally OOC to explain to us how we are idiots for our designs, and even after giving evidence, he continues to continue saying "It's impossible". Inversely: -Much of the technology he claims to have is pure godmod, claiming invincibility, while he, giving no evidence to back it up, claims that it is perfect. Even after giving examples and evidence, he remains adamant that his ideas are infallible. Despite being a good RPer in general, LVN is not a good choice for a GM, he's already biased and power grabbing, imagine when he has real power. It would be awful. Having a GM declaring his own tech to be brilliant and perfect, while declaring well researched and designed tech to be like tinfoil? Flaming and flamebaiting us into submission?Who knows? LVN would be good as some sort of GM consultant to look at things and try to see if they would really work, other than that, I think the power is going to be used in the most biased, unfair ways possible, and I don't want to see that. There are better choices, and Stormcrow, I beg that you look into them, please. (PS: I know I'll get reported for flaming for righting this, but you only live once. Flaming is not my intention, but in cases like this, the truth and some speculation could easily be taken in bad light.) (PPS: I think JEDCJT or Ranather (If you can pull him away from trivial things such as his family) would make a good GM, just saying.)

Even after giving examples and evidence, he remains adamant that his ideas are infallible. I'd have to agree with everything said so far. Also, when LVN is questioned, regarding his tech, he simply whips out the "oh I have more tech than you, accept it." line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacharth Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree with ITDA, LVN would not be a good choice. Also man, don't worry, I'd support you if they said you were flaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Wilding Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 *applauds ITDA* Thank you for saying something the community has wanted to say for so long but didn't have the guts to do so. I'll back you up if anybody says you're flaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Okay, if you want to be blunt, how about this: talking about trolling/flaming is against the rules. Verbal warn to the entire thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeVentNoir Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I will not explicitly refuse, however, I will abide by the communities decision. Talk of my tech etc (your problems with it etc) can be PM'd to me, as it is not fit for discussion here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Personally, I'm rather afraid of what might happen if LVN takes the GM position. As Terra said earlier...JEDCJT or Ranather would make better GM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Frost Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I am not opposed to LVN being a new GM. What this community needs is a backbone. With Sargun gone, there are few left here who are willing to stand up against bs rping and the stupid crap of some members of the community, and LVN is one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Keshav IV Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Not Jed, please not Jed ( Just Joking ) But I have nothing against LVN, I do think he can be a good GM because he doesn't take !@#$ from no one, but thats my opinion.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've GM'd before.. and normally I do not want the job, but if you guys wanted someone who is balanced and will not to expand his nation in the slightest.. well.. I did try my hand at CNRPS and it did okay for an offshoot. I think I can be fair and balanced to all playing. Neh, never mind, the moment this becomes a job my desire to be around it will short-circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Unicorn Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 LVN would be a good choice, but I know as soon as he goes *too far* the community will pull him back into line. No probs with him being a GM, he's a great guy (knowing him in RL and that) and yeah, he's got a backbone for this sort of thing (<.<) I think he'd do well. Just as long as the power and the "I'm better than everyone else" BS doesn't get to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumeragi Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I'm not really for LVN being GM, but not against. (ITDA is on a similar line of thoughts with me). Of course, I believe we'll have more technology shootouts, given the history. However, I AM against him being mapmaker. We should just stick with the old map, regardless of it being Euro-centric. I vote for Vince on this issue (as an unofficial mapmaker) Edited April 21, 2009 by Sumeragi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gebiv Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 GMs should always been community appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Unicorn Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) GMs should always been community appointed. True. But you think of how many people would a) get involved, and B ) 'vote' based on popularity, not how well someone can do the job.
