New Kage Election

[lollernoob9]

lol cant take the resident clowns hm? Kage will have to be able to take that kind of thing without being offended.  To clairify, @Cedie  The mechanic update you posted in shout a few days ago was about the kage popularity test and not game mechanics? Please do tell me its both XD

I think it is time to announce that I am going to run for kageship. After I saw, who seek for this role, I have decided to nominate myself in order to save everybody. If I get elected I promise I am going to raise the meat industry and creating more opportunity for the shinobis in the village. Furthermore, I will abuse with my power to make sure everything goes as I wish. I will strenghten our power in order to keep everybody safe. I will improve society by sending poor into their deaths. I will improve our society by giving opportunities to poor and less skilled people in the shinobi forces. Finally, I will abuse with my power to eleminate the other villages and rule the world. I would use my rank to bring world peace for everybody. I will make the Shinobi world great again!

Thank you people, and don't forget! If you vote for me you vote for your future.

OOC: I would pick the dust kageship

Yo, I'd like to run for dust kage. I'm probably the only candidate now mars is in the hidden thunder - so I guess I'll take the chance, can't have a village with no kage!

Nope, you are not

[Cedie]

I just deleted unrelated posts in this thread.

We will discuss the duties and responsibilities of a Kage on 25th as well as the sanctions involving inactivity after being elected and other related violations therein.

I will run for Hidden Forest though irl work comes first. If any dates are set where I can't make it I will drop out

[Shivraj]

Running for Hidden Ash.

[Reminance]

Running for Hidden Thunder.

[Nova]

Unsure, entering to see how far I'll get.
Might run for Hill if there are no valid candidates that I think deserve it.

[Zama]

I'm still bothered by the requirment of time spent online on the forum. Surely, I can understand the requirment for game performance and for account history (meaning it has to be about half year old from now on), alas the "5 days online" is making me a little bit upset. And I won't hide the fact that is because I can't participate. I'm an honest person in those matters, be it right or wrong to do.

My argumentation against this requirment are a couple of facts, that determine this requirment to be "sketchy" at best.

ad. 1 - Cedie said himself that you can stay on forum as long as you want, but after a time it stops counting your activity. Most of us idle on forum and participate in shoutbox chat. Thus our time is not counted towards the activity.

ad. 2 - In regard to the previous argument, due to the sketchiness of time-online counting mechanics, the "five days online" requirment seems to be unjust from the core. Moreover - what does it prove? I wish not to be rude about it, however it looks like a fake requirment that could somehow determine ones activity on forum. Remember however - there are people who will not loiter around the forum, posting trash posts, thus popping up their online timer, and there will be people who just come and go, leaving important feedback in matters that actually will cause some impact on the game.

ad. 3 - As the requirment of "your account needs to be half year old - at least" is quite understandable, to prevent potential side accounts from popping out before the election, the online time is merely a nuisance as mentioned in ad. 2. Dedication is one thing, but loitering around and doing nothing - is something tad bit different.

ad. 4 - As far as I know and as far as I can measure, right me if I'm wrong, but with these conditions there seems not to be enough of applicable candidates. Thus creating a typical logic error in the very core of the election rules.

In conclusion, this post was written to prove that the "time online" requirment is more of a nuisance, than a control mechanism. I value your reasoning Cedie and I respect your choices both as a human being and as a moderator, yet if I do not agree with something, I'd like to discuss it in the open field. I'd like to know more about it from other players and Cedie himself. Under no circumstances this post wasn't written to undermine anyones position or harass/offen anyone. I just believe we can improve our situation.

An in extention, if this errata I propose passed, due to the fact I fullfill every other requirment...

I wish to candidate for Kinzokugakure no Sato chair of Kage.

Thank you for reading through this post.

Well it also prevents people who create profiles and abandon the site to come in and run for Kage. There are people who make accounts and have only been online once or twice, just because they made the account 6+ months ago doesn't mean they were active and thus not making them fit for Kage as they were not part of the community. IMO that's why I think that requirement was made.

Even if they do... I believe they still are viable candidates. SLO has a slow development speed, thus it is really hard to try and remain all-time-active in most cases. Why stay at one place and keep loitering, when you can just go around, while keeping in touch? With all due respect, but since I left and came back, not much have changed.

Might be true but these are the requirements.
Deal with it is pretty much what i'm saying.
