This is a nonsense insinuation.
I want elected CD's so that the
collective will of the clan world is
especially respected. You have absolutely no proof to back-up your assertion that I or anyone else wants special treatment through elections. In fact, the concept is ludicrous on its face.
This is a highly selective and limited quote.............
Did I mention you? The lady doth protest too much. Translated to be a little more approachable. I seem to have hit a nerve with my worst case scenario examination of the voting suggestion. Viper could this be a case of where there is smoke, there is fire?
If you had read between the lines, and caught your breathe before taking offence, you would have noted a few things I wrote, DIRECTLY ADDRESSING THE VOTING ISSUE. Issues that in your rush to identify yourself as wanting special treatment you just plum forgot to address. Matter of perspective, whilst your were getting huffy about me touching a nerve and my tone. Did you stop to read beyond the tone? Might I suggest you do so. For your benefit alone, apologies to other readers. I have jotted down a few things again, and/or in more detail.
If the vote is voluntary it is not the collective will of the clan world. It is the will of those motivated(probably by personal axes to grind) to vote. How many people have folks in their clan that never read the forums? All of us I'm sure. A lot of clan members just turn up to play.
CC is not a democracy, it is a privately owned internet game site. Premium members pay for the right to play more than 4games and a few other little bells and whistles.
You are asking for special treatment for members of clans. I believe Lindax has already had a two page on and off attempt to explain this to you. Let me try. There is no precedent for general members of the CC community to vote on players becoming mods, directors, or admin. These 3terms I'm using to describe people with funny coloured user names, not members of social user groups that are associated with sections of CC, Tournaments for example. This is what you failed to grasp when Lindax repeatedly explained it, then when you finally admitted that you were confused, and there was no precedent for election of mods. You then continued on singing from the same song sheet.
You want the "collective will" of the clan community to be ESPECIALLY(here is the special again....) respected. Would you pay extra for the privilege? Why should we the clan community be more special than the general users not in a clan? You have not thought this through. Quarterly, bi annual, or annual elections for all mod positions, to be fair across the board to all players, and prospective mods. A lot of organisational time tied up there.
You have failed to make a coherent argument for your suggestion. Your attempts at reasoning and justification for your suggestion have all been ably refuted. Rather than go away and rethink, hone, and perfect your idea(major retool, apply logic, perspective, play devil's advocate with yourself, attempt to use critical reasoning skills), you have stayed here to repeat yourself. You haven't added anything new.
Start a thread in suggestions. As I clearly stated in my previous post, I'm looking at this from a highly cynical perspective. Surely though your not so blind that you can't appreciate how nonsensical some of your posturing and strident cries of I wanna, I wanna(yes gross simplification, dramatic license, readers with irony enabled will understand), appear to more contemplative folk.
