Clan Representative Voting Thread

There are two candidates for the Clan representative. I shall be posting their thoughts on why they would make a good fit for the position in the next two posts in the thread. I will leave the voting poll open for two weeks.

HILFY'S STATEMENT


----------------
Statement:
----------------

I’ve played AO on-and-off since 2004, on both Clan and Omni sides of the story, with my current main on clan side. Currently involved in both player run and ARK Events storylines on my main, as well as maintaining some niche RP characters.

Outside of AO, I’ve been part of RP communities in other games and had the chance to experience the different role-play styles each community develops. That experience is useful in helping maintain open lines of communication and learning the different expectations of RPers as you collaborate with them.

For anyone that needs to get in touch with me, I can easily be found in-game or on IRC in the AO-Events channel. I also live in a handy time zone that makes me accessible to most European and North American players. (Give or take some extra coffee.) This means I can easily act as liaison, getting feedback and passing on information from both EU and NA players.

I’m not that good at developing new story lines myself, but I’m more than happy help others and assist with some of the legwork needed in putting their ideas into play. For that I’d also like to help place more prominence on the open player run stories so people are aware of them and of any part they can play in those stories.

It would also be nice to help organize some smaller happenings as stand-alone stories or tie-ins to other events. That could allow people to step in and RP without feeling like they need to be familiar with or committed to months of backstory. Which I hope would open RP up to people who are new, coming back to AO or just looking to step out of their usual RP environment.

TOWERBLOCK'S STATEMENT:

I think I'd be good at it because 1: With the short exception of the beginning of my time in AO, I've been pretty much repping the Clan side of things since my choice to swap over. Also, 2: I have been organizing stuff all the time during my stay in game. I often have to address people all the time, get them to understanding certain guidelines and such, and helping people understand and develop themselves in addition to group style activities. Lastly, its always been in my nature to offer help and things even without any sort of expectation of it ever being returned in a direct way. I got quite a bit of pride from seeing the many people I come across in game, go from zero to hero over whatever time it took said player to get their big start. I like that feeling. The community (despite its pitfalls ) has been predominately a source of positive motivation for me, then negative. Its nice to be able to say you or I could be a part of the reason why that statement is true.

I just wanted to say, that you lot couldn't have picked a better running mate. Hilfy is a great person, a fantastic roleplayer, and an asset the community in general. For those of you unfamiliar with her work, she is the creator and administrator of Sephora's Closet I and II, which are third party websites which showcase the social clothing and fashions of both Anarchy Online, and The Secret World. =)

Congrats Hilfy! I know you will do very well!

Congradulations

Congrats Hilfy! Looking forward to seeing what you can do ;)

Congratulations Hilfy!

Congrats Hilfy! :D

Thank you!

Hope I can live up to everyone's expectations, and add something interesting to the RP community we have going. :)

Congrats, Hilfy!

Congrats Hilfy!!!!!

Hurray! :D *throws confetti and onion rings in celebration*

Thank you, everyone who voted! I honestly did not even think I would get that many votes, but it just shows the power of our community voices.

Congratulations Hilfy. I am sure much merriment and mayhem will ensue.

Congo rats, Hilfster!

Real life and health are putting a dent in my play time, not only for AO but gaming over all, hence I've resigned the position of Clan Representative. It was a wonderful experience acting as Clan Rep, I had a great time planning events and causing a bit of mayhem. Hope it entertained. Will still occasionally pop in and see what new stories others are plotting.

Edit: I was out for a year, but health is on an upswing and I'm frequently in-game again, here to pester everyone as a Clan RP Rep once more. :D
