my idea

yes i understand that PWA members have been picked ect.
and i just got an idea.
ok say next time you are going to look for a new PWA member, here is the way you can go about it.
start a sticked thread and it can be a campaign thread so to speak. have it so someone can post their application, why you should pick them, anything they want the community to know about them. keep this thread under heavy moderation and delete all non-application/tryout posts. each person who posts should only get 1 post in the thread this way they make a well thought out speech. a week later open some polls and the community can vote for who they think will be the best PWA member. maybe you could have it so you can pick up to 2 or 3 members you want on from least to favorite. i know some of you say it would be a popularity contest, but that is how president elections are too. anyways, well you do that. then the PWA Leaders (nem or aftershock) would see who the highist voted are, see who had the best applications, and then after all of that make their choice on who to hire. even if someone didn't have the most votes, they could still hire them. basicly it would still be their choice ultimantly but it would also give them some information on how the community feels about the people who are running.

This would make for noone questioning the people, I believe. It would be hard to question the decisions, because it would be hard to be biased. (not saying that anyone was)

while thie idea is nice, I think it would just become a big popularity contest

Anyways I think its a good try. But if someone like trys out and there are a few people that dislike that person, when they go and 'vote' they will automatically hold a grudge against that person and boom! It will all be useless. I think how they did it in the first place was a fair way.

You pretty much did the same thing that Pickles did.

Instead of popularity contest you said:

Pretty much just stated the same thing. ^_^

Anyway, I think the idea is fair. Although, choosing PWA is different from choosing, say a Mod.

Presidential elections are stupid - don't take them as the measure for a good selective process.

ok.
uh donald, no one ever said it was perfect?
what the hell are you talking about?
popularity contest? i already said taht in the end it would basicly be the PWA Leader's choice so even if someone was voted poorly and they saw that they were fit for the job they could still hire them.
the main point is just so the player world administration guys could see what the commuinity's opinon is on other people and what they have to say.
even if everyone hates 1 person making them un-popular then it is good that the player world administrator knows that so they know that it would be un-like-ly that would be able to work well with managers of playerworlds and such.
anyways, it was just an idea so yeah :O

A lot of people hate Stefan and Unixmad because they made graal go p2p but does that mean they would not get along with managers and stuff?

donald you are missing the point.
the example you just gave is not comparable.
no one that is the owner of graal is going to be trying out for PWA.
and like i said before, what did you mean by

I think it's a good idea.

Why should people get a free ride? Someone would just take all the best bits from about 50 applications to make theirs best. Also people would flame each other if they used the same sort of things.

o: i never thought about the fact that people could use stuff from other's applications.
I still think it would be a good idea though to have people vote on who they would like to see in the PWA.
