| Subject: CmD Voting time! Sat Dec 13, 2014 4:52 pm | |
| Rules: You have one vote. Pick one of the three. You're not allowed to know the names of the person you're voting for as this is not a popularity contest. - Option one:
What are your experiances with leading(Without naming servers please)? I've been Commander a few times and each time was capable of instilling fear into Units. But also I'm hoping to ensure that units who continue to fail do not go unpunished.
How can you prove you are worthy of leadership? I believe that my current rank and responsibilities, based of my behaviour makes me more than suitable for a Commander position. Units should only ever see the Commander if they are being punished or promoted through merit. The Commander needs to be logical, a tactician and above all else, loyal to the Union and their objectives.
There are two other applicaints, how do your talents stack up to theirs? Currently I feel that the MPF is unguided and needs a strong hand to guide them to greatness. I can think about stuff logically and treat every instance and scenario from an IC standpoint so OOC events will not alter my IC judgement.
Are you prepared to take the blunt of responsibilty for the MPF? The Commander is required to ensure that the MPF is running like a well-oiled machine. Should the Sectorial be displeased with the attitude or general attitude with the MPF, it falls on the Commander to remedy that.
- Option two:
What are your experiences with leading(Without naming servers please)?: I've been MPF high command more times than I can count, and certainly more times than I've actually been a ground unit. Most of my time as high command was as the rank of CmD, but I have done and been 100% capable of any rank or even division.
How can you prove you are worthy of leadership?: My one goal is said as this: I move one way, forward, pushing as hard as I can. That direction would end with reaching the accomplishment of every Union goal.
There are two other applicaints, how do your talents stack up to theirs?: My talents are many, stemming from real life experience and an in depth knowledge of lots of things. As this rank is higher than a divisonal (and I know I don't control the mechanics of each divison, but yet I make sure their job gets done), I can confidently say I know and have experienced leading each of the division that apply on this server. Just a few examples, I have gone to a technical school for law enforcement, and I know many things about the basics and even more advanced things. I also am training with my local agency to become an EMT, so I know a lot of things about medicine practice and the human anatomy. Those two things alone prove that not only can I handle one division, but I can lead more than one, the proper way.
Are you prepared to take the blunt of responsibilty for the MPF?: I'm more than prepared for it. I can confidently say I would not be skeptical about having the position as a commander at all. I know the ins and outs of what is to be expected, from studying the MPF guide and having knowledge of my own from plenty of past experience.
- Option three:
What are your experiences with leading(Without naming servers please)?: During my five years of Roleplaying experience, I have accumulated a large amount of knowledge of working within the CCA. I have operated on every rank, extensively, up to CmD. Personally, if I achieve this honor, I’ll have had CmD for the third time within my career of roleplaying.
How can you prove you are worthy of leadership?: I can, and will, show that I’m worthy of leadership through improving the CCA in all regards. I can guarantee that I will bring about improved times for the MPF Faction, and the removal of improper units of the time-being. Through trials, I will be able to show how my mettle works against the other applicants, and how I am far more worthy of this honor.
There are two other applicants, how do your talents stack up to theirs?: I am much greater than the other two applicants. I have skills in multi-tasking, decision making, activity, and how to proper role-play. I believe that the other applicants will fall out with those categories, as I indeed to be far more active than all of them, and role-play with greater quality than they may muster. I promise to bring about a reform of sorts to fix the current problems, that I feel the other applicants would handle too harsh, or not at all.
Furthermore, I’m willing to address any, and all requests of fixing problems. I’m extremely interested in mopping up all of the mess with in the CCA, including our less disciplined units, which will be handled with authority. I plan to make reforms that will alter the balance of roleplaying within the CCA, to a wonderful point.
Are you prepared to take the blunt of responsibility for the MPF?: I’m completely ready. I believe that I have proven, through fault and correction, that I can handle high stress environments well. I already have a full plan for the deal of responsibilities I may leave behind, if I receive a confirmation of being accepted for CmD.. I’m correct in saying that my current responsibilities are lesser, and that I have proven that these amounts are easily stowed for decision. With that I know that I can handle all of the MPF’s problems with ease.

| Option 3 says "I am much greater than the other two applicants. I have skills in multi-tasking, decision making, activity, and how to proper role-play." - Might be true, but as it stands, I'm one of the more active members on the server so I doubt you could even come close.
Secondly, Nicko before you wanted to jump on "Making the MPF more strict" bandwagon, you gave Kim FUCKING HANDWRITING LESSONS for assaulting a Unit because your Divisional is a "Work-o-holic", creating work and doing work are two different things - Detainment and a Re-Education would have been the appropriate thing to do.
"as I indeed to be far more active than all of them, and role-play with greater quality than they may muster." - Again, you're not as active as me or 5ym5 and I think this is hilarious you're basically slagging off your fellow RPers to try and make you look better, but the sad fact is, to insult other people is only going to degrade yourself. I won't be suprised if you lose because this arrogance is just simply awe-inspiring.
"I promise to bring about a reform of sorts to fix the current problems, that I feel the other applicants would handle too harsh, or not at all." - You say that though, but... I'm still waiting on that training guide you said you would make about a week ago. A week is plenty of time to do anything, even if you have RL priorities and engagements. Actions speak louder than words and as it stands, My OfC is the only person who I've spotted issuing Blackmarks without favouring unsuitable units. | |

That's exactly it though, you can't be pissed off about "Shit units" when your Divisional isn't even remotely interested in punishing people for committing violations. It seems that he jumps on the bandwagon the second it became an actual well-known issue, myself and Bernie have been annoyed with the Dr. PHILvLs for ages and it's only until he noticed it's a problem (IE, the Staff Meeting which was hosted by Taco) that he finally decided "Maybe I should do something about it." instead of punishing Units for not behaving properly in the first place. A lot of things could be argued "Sure, he's not a hard-ass." "He's a nice guy." but being a Divisional, any sort of ability for empathy would be lost, as a Divisional you should care about 2 things: 1) The Union and 2) Enforcing Union Law. That does NOT include ignoring a violation and giving a Citizen a personal lesson in Handwriting. Problems within the MPF stem from the people in High-Command positions not enforcing Units to behave properly, there are Units who are told to Salute High-Commanding Units as part of Recruit and Oh-Five training and yet, most High-Command don't seem to be bothered by it. If I spent ages toiling in the dirt and working my fingers to the bone by serving the Union and amputating Anti-Citizens, partaking in Raids and Sweeps, I'd expect that at the very least a Unit would give me SOME form of respect which extends beyond "Sir." | |

| Uno, I don't think you understand where, and when you can speak. I'm not one to say, but logs from a few nights ago say plenty to the contrary of what you've just stated. I'm not attempting to get into an argument, but I honestly think that if you act like this in a public space, you can't be trusted with any form of leadership. Those past mistakes have been corrected, as my DvL no longer socializes at all. If you'd like to stop bringing your apparently godly opinion into every single matter on these forums, I'd be very happy. I also have punished a great deal of people, but your punishments are without care, or regard for any type of social standpoint. It makes zero sense for you to shoot a unit as an OfC for saluting you. I might also add that if you think you deserve respect from any unit; you'd be completely incorrect. Shooting somebody does not make them respect you in any regard to the fullest. I'd also like to say that you have already failed, you reveled the identity of one of the contestants, undermining Taco's rules. | |

Agreed. These are completely pointless, as I've already specified what I've done within the confines of this forum. As well as correcting them. | |

| My Officer does what they do for several reasons. 1. Being shot is an unpleasant experience 2. If every time they fail, they are shot - They have motivation to not fail 3. If they are shot, their failure allows for VAMP Units to practice treating Bullet Wounds. 4. Being shot in the thigh is low-risk, because there are no organs there 5. In turn, the unit which fails is able to benefit the Union.
Also Nickofett, you were a social DvL until I pulled you up on it - So don't try and say you've changed when you should have been acting as a proper HC Unit from the start and then claiming that your RP and whatever is far superior to your 'competitors'.
Also it's funny how only yesterday you said that I was a blabbering idiot, simply because I said "I kind of want CmD though.", always entertaining to watch someone throw a tantrum. | |

| I'm just going to say that I don't like any of the options. Number one does not actually answer two of the questions. He/she never says how they can prove they are worthy, making me believe that they aren't. He/she also does not say that they're prepared to take the blunt of responsibilities. Because of this, I dont, personally, deem option one a viable choice. Option two mentions having been a high command more than a ground unit, which displeases me. Unless he/she has properly gone through the ranks, one at a time, promoted through hard work and great role playing, I get the feeling they're being 'gifted' power. It's like playing an MMO, and starting off at max level. You have no idea what to do with your character, because you learn the most important things in the beginning, when you're one of the 'new guys'. It should also be considered to let someone, that hasn't actuslly reached a high rank like that before, try it out as well, instead of a 'veteran'. Option three seems completely full of himself. By saying you're better than the others, I believe the exact opposite. And as this would be his third time as a CmD, I would like to repeat what I mentioned about option two. Because he's so full of himself, I believe the power of the rank will go to his head. I have seen several people succumb to their IC power over the many forces in the city, which has caused them to become blind, and eventually ruin the experience for everyone.
TL:DR Option one isn't a viable choice, since he apparently cannot prove his worth, or actually say he's prepared for the responsibilities. Option two isn't a viable choice, as I sense his ranks are almost gifted to him, and he appears to achieve great power too easily. Option three isn't s viable choice, as I believe the power will go to his head and make him power hungry, thus ruining the experience for everybody else, as well as the reason I put for option two.
However, these are entirely my personal opinions. And it's about 8 AM, I am incredibly tired, so I may have misread some things, or even forgotten them while typing. I typed this using my iPad, so I apologize for any mistakes that might appear. I am also not wearing my glasses, which makes it twice as bad. | |
