Change doesn't imply lack of Preservation, it implies change. Everything changes and everything will constantly change. Also, your idea on my opinion with the popular vote? I wouldn't agree with a popular vote anyway. You could be in dead last and I still wouldn't agree with a popular vote. It's like prom king and queen in high school. The three people I suggested be asked before popular vote is because they would know what should be preserved and what is sticking around for the sake of your "Preservation". The vote is forced, though, so I'll make my opinion known.
Given every time anyone criticises you in chat you lose your shit and go on a tirade makes me personally think you should be the last person on the block, regardless of if you are running a plot or not. What would happen if someone criticises you on a decision you make regarding Nepleslia? Lose your shit? I've seen it happen a million times already and I don't think a fancy banner under your name would change that anytime soon. Whenever anyone pokes holes in your idea you lash out and attack them. I would take Ace or HamnJam before that. If you want my honest opinion as to why I would be against you as a Co-FM. Every time someone says anything negative to you, regardless of context or an idea of why they are saying it you take it as a personal attack on yourself and that makes me not think you are a good option. Of course, that's only a single opinion.
Say what you want about me in this thread, but it doesn't matter. My name isn't up as an option and as someone who plays in and with Nepleslia, not to mention being jammed between them and 3 other factions, I can take an interest in who is up there and I can voice my concerns. You wanna hear my concerns about everyone else? Tally ho!
Arieg: He really likes tech... Like REALLY likes tech. He's awesome at it let me tell you, and I envy his DoGA models. I barely see him participate in the forum other then that though. Nothing really wrong but I see Arieg co-fmship as "The Era of Awesome DoGA Models and Tech Articles" which is awesome don't get me wrong but I would like to see more of his forumside story stuff before I really throw my hat in his ring, thus I have no opinion on his story ability because I haven't seen it.
CadetNewb: Every time I have a question about Nepleslia and how Nepleslia would do something or react to something I ask CadetNewb and he is always spot on with the answer. Literally always. By far the best choice hands down. The only problem is that lately he has been very busy with helping with the preparations of the Kluvexian war and building the Ottyo, but that isn't exactly a solid platform on criticism because building a faction takes a lot of time to do. One it's built and stable he will be freed up. If it becomes an official faction, then that would be the only serious thing against him, as he would be the FM of another faction but even then he can still Co-FM. That only becomes an issue if Gunhand vanishes.
Gallant: The patience of a damned saint. He also constantly looks at the bigger picture. He looks at all these plots and thinks about how they could all fit together. The amount of tangents he has gone into on call with me, or just sent me through chat is insane and he is definitely there to bring on an awesome story. He is also, very busy. He makes time, though, and is dedicated to the idea of keeping Nepleslia as Nepleslia. Christ Sake as far as I am aware Lucas Pavone is his creation, and that guy is Nepleslia Superman! #2 option to me.
Acewing: Acewings a good guy, he has a lot of idea's and his race is looking real good on that forefront. He's a bit of a people pleaser, though. Ace and I are fairly good friends, I co-gm Interregnum with him, he's got ideas but no offence to him I don't think he would be a good fit.
HamnJam: He likes to help people out. Honestly, I feel the same way about him as I do Acewing.
The big difference to my opinion on you Legix, is that I have never once seen any other person on this list get openly belligerent and mocking on the chat after being criticised. I have never seen any of them get angry when people poke holes in their ideas.
The reason I think Arieg, CadetNewb, and Gallant should be the first people chosen, and if none of them accept the position then the three of you get a crack should be made very clear by my answers. I've only been around the site for a year, and I've only just started talking to them and already know more about them and their qualifications to Co-FM Nepleslia, then people I have been RPing with, chatting with, and generally associating with, and helping with Nepleslia based plots since I started. And honestly, despite the Negatives I have for you, I still can only think of 309th as a reason you would be qualified, and that puts you in the same bracket as Acewing and HamnJam. All of you have done things for Nepleslia on the small scale.. I could care less if you got commissions for Nepleslian Uniforms. Money shouldn't talk in this regard. Also, being the one to start up a plot in Nepleslia isn't exactly a qualifier either. Interregnum became an idea in august, and you started 309th in October. The only fault on Acewings in that level is that he didn't know how to get the interest for Interregnum. So I also don't consider that as a qualifier.
Again, say what you want about me Legix, it really doesn't matter. Honestly, the Vets have earned their right to the position far more than you ham and ace, and I'm 100% confident they would agree with me.
Personally, I don't want someone who gets angry at the slightest criticism. I hope other people agree.
This giant spiel is exactly why I get angry. It's not "the slightest provocation", it's the fact that you genuinely assume I flip off the handle for slights, yet you and a small group continue this constant bitching anytime someone you don't like is in position to win a vote. And even if it were to lose me the vote, I'm fine calling you out on it right here and now because you're simply trying to slander me while literally proving zero concerns you have for others. So please, let me fix your assessments of these people briefly and in the most truthful manner.
Cadet: Cadet has run Origin and added basically nothing. That's his current track record and it's why I'd openly oppose him. He hasn't proven with Origin that he can be an FM, why would it change with Nepleslia? You quote "oh, well he's been busy"... so has he been busy for months, possibly years? Because if that's the case, it'd explain the basically zero input he's put in for the other faction he was for. Cadet personality wise is cool and I try to get along with him, but defending him as this "oh-so-great Co-FM" option is just being blatantly ignorant.
Arieg: Honestly, I've seen him post things... once or twice a month. It's only been about in the last two or so weeks that I've seen him around often. Liking tech doesn't mean much if he's not around to bolster it. You also say that he has to be a Co-FM to produce models? Why? Isn't he supposed to love the faction? Last I checked, he was making things simply because he wanted to... why would it change just because of the title? It seems like you really don't understand much beyond the quality of his work and it should be noticed that Arieg has been working on equally slow moving material as Cadet.
Gallant: Gallant, I'm sorry bro, but no. You said he's looking for intercept points... with... all Nepleslian plots? Sorry, I've not heard a word from him and haven't seen that remotely. This seems like, again, you being biased and promoting him because he's helped YOU, while I've not. Gallant is cool, but I don't see any of this "Nepleslian Superman". Honestly, the description you give for Cadet is far more of a "Superman" than Gallant comes off as.
And you will be my final point: Your only interest with this, again, is to slander me. You provided zero concerns for the others that were genuine or weren't played off. On top of that, you try to paint this picture as if I flip out on a whim. I don't. In fact, I build up to it and it's generally triggered by you and that small group of three (four, if you count a special recent case). And it's always because you perform the exact same sort of shit. My temperamental status wouldn't fucking change how I handle my work, because unlike some people here I can separate what I do from emotion and bias. In every instance that my ideas have been shot down, I've almost immediately moved on or worked with others to make it happen (barring a single instance with PA, as you might recall as the only time you actually provided a strong argument). And honestly, there is a very specific instance with Arieg and Cadet that has me worried exactly about what would happen if either of them achieved the status of Co-FM, much less full FM.
So if you want to target me, Edto, realize this: I don't care if someone has been on the site for 8 years. They have to earn it. And I'm sure most of the people who voted for me realized that the other choices hadn't. Those voting for Cadet are doing so because they know what he can do... and then there's you.
You're voting to be spiteful. You slandering me and me alone in your giant spiel is the proof of it. The FMs and Admins have made a mistake of tolerating you and that sickening and rather pathetic tone you carry, but I simply won't. I've already put up with enough stupidity on SARP to say that my tolerance for it is at an all-time zero. Gunhand made this about voting and, lo and behold, you came and made it into a "oh, well the vote is just popularity!". Because you're that pathetic. And I'll call you out on it every single day if needed... but you're simply not going to get away with it anymore. You and your caustic god-lizards don't scare me, especially when you're so willing to make your bias carry your opinion rather than face the facts.
PS: Maybe next time, you should realize that the people who voted for me recognize that I'll say it how it is and flip-off on a few people. Because flipping out on some of you is honestly going to be necessary to prevent the degradation of the Nepleslian name that you've been carrying out in both indirect and direct actions.
PSS: You're cool HAM, just had to say it because it does apply to the other candidates that did so. But the unbiased road can't exist if you have someone who openly shows their biased in the thread. This was a shame the instant Edto posted their original post, because at that point all the votes for the Edto-friend posse came in. And hopefully Gunhand sees how much of a gongshow it's going to be either way the vote goes. Not to mention the fact that most of the voters aren't even involved with Nepleslia these days. So... yeh. Let's just keep making Nepleslia great again with the 309th while this lizard spits more venom. Because I'm all out of mics to drop.
