.. Is everyone staying in the race or some getting removed and revoting? When will we know? These Qs are more for Admins then Supreme.

Proposal S7-10: Player Rep Candidate Eligibility [Passed 9-1] For future RC Player Rep elections, any non-admin, non-GM may run for the spot of a normal player representative if they have played in at least one season.

I was more just wondering if I was going to have to revote

.. but ty!

part of the confusion is also not what the rule is

11:29 PM

but why that rule is in place

11:30 PM

seems like a lot of us feel that staff members (who are already represented by their committee head) should not be allowed to run for the player rep spot

I wasn't a voting member of rules when that rule was added, but I can send what I remember: The spot was meant for a representative of players, meaning it they feel a person on media or events represents them then that is okay. GMs are not able to share that player perspective as much as they are focused on making teams and not going through the draft or being traded. A player can be staff or not, either way they have the perspective of going through the draft and playing for a team, and can then judge rules based on that. ^ this is my I interpretation of what I remember from back then. Should ask yeti/someone else on rules back them if you want more explanation.

not copying and pasting this in each individual thread For all of you: What’s 1 rule you would propose changing? What change should be made? Why do you think it should change? Doesn’t need to be an immediate issue, doesn’t need to be a problematic rule, could even be a rule that is “perfect” already. I just want to know what your thought process is and what, in your eyes, stands out as a rule that needs changing. (I also don’t care whether or not you actually pursue this change if you get in, this is all theoretical) Think of this question as asking how we know you’re not joining rules just to “contribute to a bigger part of the league” in a sense, but because you think you can contribute in a way that will better the league. Rules doesn’t need people that are the same as the others, that will sit in the RC meetings and agree with things, maybe saying a sentence every half hour. it needs members that have a different way of thinking that can spark the most effective discussions

Hey Fuffy given I’m an AGM for an admin I feel it’s in bad taste to run for rules player rep. I’d rather the spot go to people that haven’t been and aren’t close to the top

Does this mean you are dropping out of the running (edited)

Yeah. Being AGM to an admin feels a little weird to be on rules

Alright
