DeGei... you don't seem to get the point here. It's not your job or choice to make threads like this, it's Zae's job, Zae's choice. She came back and took charge, so the ball's in her court, regardless of how long it takes her. We're just fine without VCs right now, so I don't even know what spurred this decision, but it's really not your place to be doing it.

Its spurred by the fact that Zae is busy and having something for her to look at upon return might be a good idea. She had us elect a GM, so I applied that same concept to VCs. Its not that far a gap. Im trying to think ahead and plan. If no one steps up to improve things, nothing changes. Sitting around and waiting for Zae to have to do everything seems a childish way to handles things. I mean, Mommy Zae is busy and cant take care of the kiddies so waiting for her to come back and say, "Okay you so and so can be head of the line and so and so can pick whose it for hide & seek" is just childish. I think we are old enough to take charge and get things started.

Yes but again, not your job. If you want to talk about childish, the people who ran and got her in the first place were the childish ones. However, she did come back and take control, and we have no urgent need of VCs, so it's our place to let her be in control and decide. Age has nothing to do with this, it's what's proper. She ASKED us to elect a GM, she has done nothing of the sort about VCs.

I am merely suggesting this to have something ready when she returns if ever.
Say we have a list of the top 5 people we think would be decent VCs ready? She comes back, sends those 5 a PM with some questions, they answer and Zae picks 3-5 of them for VC. Total time required, a day at most.
Alternative, we sit around, Zae gets back for a couple days. Goes through the entire forum at a glance. Tells us to come up with a list of ten people. She then asks them questions, they respond and 3-5 are picked. Total time taken, 3 days to a week.
Its just a way of being prepared. I never said this was one hundred percent sure to be used or work. Be prepared and expect nothing.

We need VC's? confused
PostPosted: Mon Dec 25, 2006 2:27 am


I don't think we should sit here beating a dead horse

Degei, what people are angry at is the fact that you're trying to under mind Zae's authority, by trying to pick VC's. I understand what you're saying, but it just doesn't feel right to try and pick VC's without Zae's approval. That's what everyone is trying to tell you. Not that you're wrong in doing this since we know we need VC's and stuff, since Zae isn't around... BUT, doing it behind her back just doesn't seem fair confused .

And there was already that thread Padme made where she suggested people...which Zae locked. She said she appreciated the input and that she was setting it up.


And, like it has been said, we don't really need VCs right now. They'd just be handy for stickies.

Exactly. I think public nominations by people who have biased opinions aren't really the best way to handle a thing like this, personally. At least if we send in an application she KNOWS we'll be biased for ourselves.

Let's just put it this way:

Simon said pick a GM.
Simon didn't say nothin' 'bout no VC's.

Yar, har, diddle ee dee,
Zaeyde gave no right to thee
but do what you want 'cause a pirate is free
Just except tons of flamiiiiiiiiiiiing~

Okay, so that last line didn't rhyme... but comparing us to children is out of line. Think of this -- if all the mods in Gaia were demoted and Lanzer set up a system to elect new ones that had not been put into play yet, would the GCDers nominate mods? No, because they respect and trust the admins. It would be rude to take over an admin's place just because they hadn't finished something yet, and Zaeyde should be treated with just as much respect as the admins are (okay, so maybe we shouldn't worship her, but she still needs to be respected).
Don't interfere, and everything will be fine. She'll get around to it.

User ImageI love how Degei is the starter of this thread. rolleyes

Like everyone else has said, it's not your job. Sure, you want to take charge and be the leader and make sure we have what we had before, but it's not your job. Zae will elect VCs if she finds the need, but that's not our concern. We're doing fine without them.

And sorry if you get all emo emo about my post, but right now, not in good mood. Mk?User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

You win, as you had the only real arguement that was more than, "ZAE IS GOD, DONT EVEN TRY TO SECOND GUESS HER RAWR!"

whee We did that before. We made a whole huge discussion about who should be the new mods ages ago. Then Zae came and made me, monkey, ihd, and siamese v.c's. I think Meru was the only one on the old "people who should be v.c" list that actually was v.c. Making a list last time didnt work, why would it work now?
