Nominations
Here are my suggests on possible RC members. It would be good if each of the following posted if they would/would not like to be a member, and if anyone else had any other suggestions.
- Surgo: Obvious first one, with two major problems. Does Surgo have enough time, and if so, should he be RC member AND an admin?
- Jota: Well knowledged, reasonable, etc.
- Sulacu: A shoe-in, I think, due to monster knowledge
- Sam Kay: One of our few prolific 4e posters, and damn good at what he does.
- TK-Squared: While abrasive,he knows what he's talking about.
- TarkisFlux: A new member, but one that has a very good grasp on things, is calm, polite, and overall a good choice.
- Karrius: Nominated by Aarnott, but someone who is not trustworthy, reliable, polite, or at all useful. He'll take the job, but really, who wants to give it to that jackass?
- Leziad: Running out of ways to say the same thing.
- Ganteka: See above.
- DanielDraco: Fair, reasonable, is not composed of Styrofoam.
- Ghostwheel: Asked to be included. :p
- Rithaniel: Prolific creator of stuffs.

- Shit, I'm rather surprised I'm on this list. Must've made an impression already, though if I'm competing with people who are on the list because they're not composed of styrofoam I'm not sure how good that is. I wouldn't mind being on the RC (though I'm still a bit unclear about how it'll actually function in practice), but there are more senior people on this list that I'd step aside for. - TarkisFlux 00:21, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry for spelling your name wrong. In addition for you making a good impression, I'm also a Denner (Dragon_Child, althoug hI mostly lurk) and have seen you over there, plus I think you'd make a very good stand-in for Surgo. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want more work right now, and you'd bring in all the qualities that Surgo otherwise would have. Also, I was seriously running out of things to say when I got to DD, and I have a headcold. :P Karrius 00:32, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- Just going to add the well-knowledged should be hyphenated (>_>), but I look forward to the initiation of this project and my involvement in it. -- Jota 01:01, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- You spelled it wrong? Didn't even see that. Don't think I really care either, but thanks for fixing it Karrius/DC. I'm not sure I'd make a good stand in for Surgo, as I actually understand why people enjoy playing below rogue level and can't bring his vitriol to a critique, but we all have our weak points I guess... - TarkisFlux 01:32, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
Accepting Nominations and other points of Note
Bah, edit conflict...hoped to get this in before other comments came in. Oh well, lots of typing = me being slow.
I accept my nomination. I love seeing above, honestly. I plan to stick mostly with my area of particular interests and gradually fan out as I get more comfortable with how this is all going to work. Its gonna take some testing of the waters to make sure we get this to operate fairly, accurately, quickly and effectively. Hey, at least we get to test it out. I'm still feeling a bit off as far as wiki editing goes. I've kinda lost my mojo.
Anyways, solid list, though, yeah, not sure if Eiji likes rating things or has any plans to want to be on the RC, would have to talk to the dude. Yeah, really, I'm honored here to be part of this group. Yeah, I look up to you guys. You take your mechanics seriously, and you devote a lot of your time to it. Gods, what a great hobby. Having talked to most of this group for some time now, I have great faith in their abilities. Hopefully, the D&D community comes to trust these opinions, and the opinions presented by the Ratings Committee come to represent something meaningful. I know a few of these blokes are abrasive. It is who they are and it doesn't negate their knowledge on the subject at hand... and I've gone crosseyed.
Anyways, the point of all this Ratings Committee business is to allow people to get some free material, share their material, and incorporate that material into a game with as little difficulty as possible. If we can do that, then job well done. Good luck everyone. Bring your comments. The more, the better. --Ganteka Future 01:16, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- And since there's a whole section for it now, I'll accept the nomination down here. Let me restate though, if you get enough other senior people to push me out I totally don't care. - TarkisFlux 01:32, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- I'll go on record to say that I pretty much whole-heartedly agree with this list (even though I haven't been active as of late very much at all, so sorry TarkisFlux I have no idea who you are). That being said, if no one else objects to your placement on the committee then who am I to disagree? Although I will say that I'm surprised Dragon Child was not on the list (again, I'm not particularly familiar with the happenings here yet so forgive me for possibly being unaware of extenuating circumstances. All in all, it's a solid list. - ThunderGod Cid 03:58, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
- See just how god-awfully out of touch I am? - ThunderGod Cid 04:13, September 19, 2009 (UTC)
