Title: Council Election Volunteers, 3rd Cohort
Post by: Eric on July 24, 2017, 07:47:53 PM
Okay, so Council Elections have probably been overdue for awhile now; they take place every 6 months after all. We probably delayed a bit due to the midterms that took place, but a new cohort needs to be elected. Just like last time, the first thing to do is ask for volunteers. Those still functionally serving can volunteer again as well, since we need to see how many candidates we have (if we have equal to or less than the # of possible seats for candidates an election is moot).

I would like to volunteer as a candidate for tribute. I know I have a beast, and I am willing to give it up in order to serve on the Council.

I will volunteer to continue, as I've finally been able to return to being active again.

That's 6 so far. Getting close to our target number of 7 before we can either appoint all volunteers or hold an election to mitigate one or two.

This council will now be called the Jedi Council.
All in favor of putting me in charge, say aye.

But seriously, do we have a 7th person or should we propose a revision to the rule for a 6 member Council? Because it's only a matter of time before it is needed, and it will be troublesome not to have it there.

I volunteer as tribute.
Seriously if you need a seventh, then I suppose the most reliable man around should do it.

But really seriously like why can't you just have 6?

But extremely seriously have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

The biju rules state that there will be 7 members on the Council. To change that would only require a member vote on the proposal, which is not really all that hard. In the grand scheme of things though, changing around the # of seats whenever we are short seems like a bad idea, so I only wanted to do that if necessary. Was definitely getting to that point.

I have heard of the tragedy of Plageius. He with the power to save others from death. But not himself.

Too bad he got killed by his apprentice. Derp.

Well.. I can be your last resort before you go to dropping a seat. Though a dropped a seat might actually be more reliable than me.

He'd fit in in the narutoverse with that added to his rap sheet.

Is it an activity thing or an interest thing?

Okay fine. I'll do it. I'll be the only female council member. But I get the longest hat.

Definitely interested, just a busy guy.
It'd be nice to be able to help some way on this site, I spent a lot of time here over the years being a douchebag, giving back a little couldn't hurt.

So let me run the list of volunteers just to be sure:

1 ) Eric
2 ) Hades
3 ) Dato
4 ) Rusaku
5 ) Xia
6 ) Ethaniel
7 ) Saburamu
8 ) Optimal

Are there any of these volunteers who are no longer interested in being on the Council? If not, then we move on to elections to get us down to 7, and if more than one person on this list has lost interest then I'll make a proposal to reduce the # of Council members down to no less than 5 for the sake of finally having an active Council again.

I only really offered to get you to 7. If you've got enough without me, don't worry about voting.

That is similar to what Saburamu said, so between the two of you, availability vs interest, which of you two are more available for the task? Not that I think it will be particularly arduous, but it's when the going is easy and we get complacent that something crazy random pops up.

I'm super available, but less super interested. I would do it help, but...
What if you give it to Sabu, and simply put me as a stand-in? That way, in the event of need, if one of the council can't be reached, you've got a back up.

I think it's a fine idea, I wonder what Sabu's thoughts on it though. Cause if yall both say give it to each other then that puts us back at square 10.

I like the idea that my constant unavailablity won't cost anyone for once, but I'll still be able to help out. Saiteki can be my stand in.
Eric I'll send you my email as well.

So in other words I'd like the council seat, if all are okay with that. Don't want to step on any toes.

Then it's settled, we have our 3rd cohort + a stand-in.
