I'd like to point out that if this is adopted, the CT staff will move forward with elections this September.
For those who would like to consider running, remember, your past actions may be called upon during your campaign. Heaven forbid you have a half-brother twice removed and re-adopted by your cousins nephew's twin sister. :)
I think this is pretty exciting. Am I running again? Unless I get asked to, I'm putting my hat away for the time being and taking a back seat to hammer the new CT admins. :D

hum i would want to elect grits.

Looks good Mr Fork.
for making your ideas and progress public. At least now we know that "something" is going on.
I hope that the CT players will be able to have the opertunity to vote on maps and plane sets as well as other things in the future. I have always believed in "Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace". For example, you gave the players an opertunity to voice their opinions in This Post (http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=124664) and only got 16 replys. I did what I could to separate the players input. This is what I came up with.
16 replys
A. 1 vote
B. 5 votes
C. 1 vote
My point, when a staff member gives the players a chance to vote and you dont........SHUT THE F@#$ UP. All you guys do is b1tch and complain and beg to be givin the chance to have a say and when givin that chance..........only 16 replys and about SEVEN VOTES. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

While I would like to contribute to the CT, and I think I do not have either an Allied or Axis bias, I am extremely lazy and having all that responsibility seems like a lot of work. If I wanted resposibility I'd been a sex surrogate.

Move that terms be shortened to every three months but members can opt to be re-elected.

This sounds very good!
3 ideas:
- Perhaps elect more than 3 auxiliary staff.
- Perhaps positions should be for 4 or 6 months.
- Allow absentee voting. Members can email existing staff with their votes beforehand. Some people may not have access to a computer the day of the elections.

Wow!!! great to see that Fork!!!
suggestions
4 hours a month is hardly enough time to deal with issues that are always arising in the Arena. I would say 3 hours per week. You then have a player as a staff member not the CT equivalent of a condo commando playing marshall. I believe it is critical that the staff maintain a finger on the pulse of the arena. I believe one hour per week will not do.
The auxiliries needn't have a minimum time requirement. the staff will in time learn who are real players and who could be let go. also it will be easier for us in the field to judge for the next election which ones actually play the game of their own volition.
Increase the number of auxiliries to 9. this will virtually assure several on at any given time and less pressure on the group as a whole.
Quarterly elections may be a bit much but bi-annually is certainly doable and perhaps preferrable. One year is a long time in this fluid environment. so what eskimo said.
Absentee voting, what eskimo said.
Oh yea and as of right now I vote Bug:aok

I like the idea of more auxiliary members. Maybe 6-9 is a good number. I also like the idea of having the full time staff be accountable to over 100 hours a year. Personally, over the summertime I've got scarce time for flying. :)
When all the comments are done, I'll put it into a zoomerang and let everyone vote on the proposal. I hope voter apathy doesn't ruin this effort... :rolleyes:

What do you think is worse, Ignorance or apathy?
-
Apathy. There is a cure for ignorance. ;)
Good stuff Fork. Very impressed with what you all have come up with.

The reason I choose one year stints - by the time the first six months have come by, you've done a few setups, but you're also just done learning. There's a large learning curve to be a CT admin, and it takes experience on setups alike etc before you start posting setups where it requires no tweaks.
It would be a shame for staff to get into a position where just as they are coming on board in skills and strengths, we let them move on. One year might be a bit long for a position, but at the same time it allows full development for CT staff. That's just my opinion on having been in this role a few years.
Again, if you think it's too long, you can always resign and allow a by-election to occur. :)

An angle that I hadn't considered. Seems reasonable enough.
