Samurai Leadership Discussion Thread

[Googi]

In this thread, we talk about who should be leader of Samurai.

I'm encouraging everyone to not vote for Stromstedt. He has informed me that he will hold a wedding if he becomes leader and also seems likely to waste huge amounts of time on pointless kingdom LATing.

Who do you think should lead?

I don't think it should be a popularity contest. It's only because Sube is telling everyon to vote for Strom because she knows him in real life, it shouldn't happen that way.

Here are reasons you should vote for Strom from Strom himself:

Also I plan to bring activity into Samurai by not only starting off with a royal wedding, but soon I will have events, with Samurai Kingdom specialized equipement to event off. Such as the Samurai Kingdom Bonsai Amulet.. That is good because it has STR +1 and Con +2 although Pow -1 and something else -1 I can't remember. Nobody has that and Samurai boots of Haste and etc. I know what I am doing, I have plenty of experience on Valikorlia "

Ok, so he's going to try and push for an item that was developed under a previous reign. And by LATing he probably means using half of Draenin's work and the island I developed (Northwest one). In my opinion, every candidate will give you the same reason to elect/nominate them. Proofreading helps too.

My vote, is to have Staff look at the original nomination, and if it is not satisfactory then they just put someone in power. Someone who has a good track record and is not just the popular vote. Since valid choices in my opinion are limited, at this point I don't even care if they are currently in the kingdom.

I voted for Taikun mostly because he's been around for a long time (a bad reason) and from his few old posts he doesn't seem to be some kind of RP elitist. I'm not sure I trust him though, and I'd like to at least hear something from him.

I am still wondering why there are only two players the people nominated.

Yes only 2, but we all know that Taikun will do a much better job than Storm. Taikun has played Graal Kingdoms for much longer and he knows what he is talking about.

Well.. this really limits it:

I don't see how it makes that big of a difference... especially since most kingdoms are depleted now a days and most of the valid choices would like to see running a kingdom are in Dustari or CP.

Nothing against your rule, just saying why I hopped on board with 1 of the 2.

There aren't any other active members in Samurai...


I voted Strom because I think he cares more about the kingdom then Taikun, Taikun joined yesterday. Strom hasn't been around very long but he's longer in Samurai then Taikun.

Hmm I think its not that good to have some kingdomless or a "strangers" from another kingdom as king. But I thought maybe some citizens want to nominate themselfes or so.

[Draenin]

I would jump in, but I've too much to do this semester at school, and don't feel that would help. I did enjoy working on physical aspects of the kingdom, though, but Bjorn seemed all too eager to pull my work from me after my gold ran out. :[

I could have sworn that the Bonsai Pendant aka The Rosary of the Sacred Tree was put on debug through the efforts of both myself and Damix about a year ago when I was Emperor. And considering that it hasn't been uploaded over the course of the last year, I think it's a weak point to bring to the table.

Plus, you shouldn't pass off other people's work as your own as kyden has already said.

That's all good and fine. I will just continue to hold my opinion that it's really a contest of who can get more people to go to the forums and vote for them. It's not about who's qualified.

No thats not the election, ONLY the nomination.

I'm not talking about that. I don't claim that work, either. I'm referring to the work I did on Nighthawks, as well as updating the embassy, creating a gear set for Samurai, correcting gmap mistakes, updating the storehouse, as well as improving the sparring center Andrew had begun so long ago.

They work very similarly... I got bombed with PMs when I logged on GK. "Vote for so and so." "Why'd you vote for so and so."

You're still limiting the choices for people. However I will nominate someone else just to add some mix.
