Kevanovia Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Very nice to see Luka take the reigns. However, I'm confused why Trinite refuses to coup. Good luck to ye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff barr Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 [quote name='Hiro Nakara' timestamp='1288005599' post='2492688'] For the most part you would be correct, very few people that do no work and dedicate no time, get into positions of power within Sparta But I could be wrong, but Olaf was grandfathered in with very little work done compared to other Spartans. Not that I'm hating, as I like Olaf, I like his style. I'm just wondering if that's what Necro means? [/quote] Hiro, You know I love you brah, but your comment is butchered with poor punctuation and grammar thus making it difficult to decipher. Forgive me if I misread your post. Sparta has never selected members of government based on seniority. That's just not the way we roll. I had someone express concern about this the other day. (I suspect they felt they got the shaft somewhere along the line, hence why they brought it up to me) Sparta selects members of govt based on capability and availability. If you're not capable, you don't get the job. If you not available, you don't get the job. Considering as both you and Necro were both members of Sparta gov, I find your comments a bit surprising that either of you would elude to anything else other then that. Sometimes, poor decisions are made, but tough. That is the way things go. Try not to ragequit over it. Sparta govt tries to make the best decisions they can with the information they have at that time. Olaf put in a considerable amount of time in several areas of govt before being promoted to king. To imply that olaf had not put in as much time into the alliance, as compared to others, is gross misinformation quite honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulak Hord Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 It was nothing short of an honour, Olaf. Luka, your blood, sweat and constant hard work for Sparta has at long last resulted in your honoured Kingship. It pleases me greatly to serve with you at the helm of our Dominion. Now, onto those shens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Jeff I'm aware of how the system works, and apologies for the grammar (give me a break, I'm improving daily). When a person comes to the alliance such as Olaf did, then gets thrust into government over others, then that's safe to assume he's been grandfathered in. He just arrived when I did, I think, or shortly before (second visit). He jumped from member to government very swiftly. This is what I think maybe Necro was getting at? I don't knock him being king, as I said I enjoyed reading his posts on here, he made me laugh lots. You know it happens through friends knowing other friends in the alliance. It just doesn't happen very often within Sparta. But it does happen. Christ, I pretty much walked into government upon coming back to you guys the second time. There were others that could have done a better job and were longer time served. Again apologies for the grammar Jeff, I'm taking night classes after work to try and improve it.

Branimir Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) "My name is Luka, I live on the second floor,..." Olaf better keep on trucking in ODN, such gems are only worth it if they are always exposed and not boxed. Can we get at least an official version of the reason why Olaf retired?

[/quote] He was/is best buddies with them during his reign. It makes sense to me for him to retire in one of his favorite non-Spartan communities. Also hiro, as for you "walking" back into government, we promoted you so quickly because you were government once before, and we knew you know what you are doing. You were/are a great econ guy, and at that particular time we valued your experience and willingness to contribute over your membership length (the second time around). This happens in every alliance, and you can ask any government. If...let's say...Tums decided to leave Fark and joined Sparta, and then decided she wanted to get involved in gov, you bet your ass we would put her some where if there was a spot open. She's experienced, and in this game experience > everything when promoting government members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperion321 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 post edited. My apologies. As for you not being in Gov, you were a very good FA ephor in my opinion. I wasn't around for the time when you stepped down from the position, but I believe you were one of the most efficient FA ephors we've had.
