Vote to recall Philip Ross as CEO

[______________Trenty]

I have recently been told that Philip Ross is an "Evil"(tm) person and is driving Rubi-ka into the ground.

"Why should I care", do you ask? "What does that have to do with me?"

Well, let me tell you. What it has to do with you is that as an Omni-Tek employee, you are responsibile for his actions.

That's right. YOU are responsible for HIS actions, which I am told are "Bad".

Which brings me to the reason for this message: We need to recall Philip Ross as CEO and elect a proper player to do the job. We need to elect someone who will do what's best for Rubi-Ka, while maintaining the profit goals of Omni-Tek.

Everyone who wants to recall Philip Ross, let your voice be heard in this thread!

After we have received enough votes, we can select a new CEO with the help of upper management.

[Nevver]

One word for you: Pffft!

First, who told you that he is "evil?" A Clanner? Second, what, exactly, is he supposedly doing that is so "evil?"

If you have a complaint against our glorious leader, I suggest you take up the matter with someone from the Clans.

[______________Trenty]

I'd point you to the post from the official who is stating this, but I would be breaking NDA. What I can say is that the person isn't a clanner or neutral or an omni, but someone who has intimate knowledge of the game and the storyline...

As of right now, we have no control over what the corporation does on Rubi-Ka, I am saying that we change that.

Think of it this way: everyone who votes for this is voting for a good, positive, community beneficial Omni-Tek and the preservation of Rubi-Ka and it's ecology.

Edit: The following was taken from the character profile webpage:

Anyone may end up in the rosters of heroes and villains. Deeds are everything: good or bad, right or wrong. To make yourself noticed, to stand out in a crowd, to be recognised for what you do and who you are - to be someone.

These are the people who have made themselves noticed.

If you notice, there are no profiles for people anyone has ever met! We need to change this now! We need to take matters into OUR hands and shape OUR FUTURE!

[Nevver]

((I'm not sure if you're OOC or IC or both, but...))

Rubi Ka's ecology? Take control of the planet? Are you sure you work for Omni-Tek? You sound like either a Clanner or someone who is just a little too ambitious to me. Who would you have in place of Mister Ross? You?

Where is Omni-Pol when you need them?

[Maxflier]

Propaganda

[______________Trenty]

((all IC....))


Just to clarify, when I signed up with Omni-Tek I was told we were doing good, but now I've been told that Philip Ross is evil, therefor everything I do futhers evil aims.

I am saying we can and should change that. If Omni-Tek is going to stay an evil organization, I may have to find a different home.

[Nevver]

Nevver hands Trenty a present or two.

[_____________Halyera]

nev, theres a simple way of solving this

ok trenty, someone told you that phillip ross is evil? well, then, let me assure you that he is not. in fact, phillip ross is good, and the person who told you that was evil.

does that clear things up?

(besides, what kind of person who is neither an omni employee, a clanner, -or- a neutral on rubi-ka would have the faintest idea of what its really like here, anyway?)

thank you

"omni-tek is your friend"

Good and evil is in the eye of the beholder. Ross seems to be a pretty good guy overall. Looking out for his company and it's employees first, then those who haven't taken up arms in the Clan Vs. OT conflict (neutrals), and hell, he even cares about Clanners. You kill a mutant, you get credits right? Who do you think is giving you those credits anyway? Suprise, it's Omni-Tek! ((See timeline entry for 29448 . Clanners helping out to combat the mutant problem that Omni-Tek created for a fraction of the cost of recruiting OT employees to do the task! Brilliant! Genius!

What has Simon Silverstone ever done for the clans? Developed some armor (likely with technology stolen from Omni-Tek), declared the only government the Clanners had to be tratiors and took actions that contributed to the downfall of the Council of Truth. Declared himself the ruler of Tir and kicked out all that don't agree with him out of what was once a proud city.

Granted both Ross and Simon are smart men. Simon's intelligence is clouded with fanaticism and his lust for power. Give me Ross over Silverstone anyday. Ross you can at least reason with.

Now I don't agree with all that Omni does. I don't agree with all that the Clans do either. I don't want either of these people ruling me. Guess that's why I'm in the middle. But keep Ross where he is. He hasn't done anything worthy of a recall effort, other than ignore everyone but the OT stockholders.

Are you an OT stockholder Trenty? If you are, do you own enough stock to have a vote in the matter? No, I didn't think so. I'd be careful with your words if I were you, you're walking a very thin line between disgruntled OT employee and Clanner in OT clothing right now.

[______________Trenty]

Ye all shall see soon enough. All Omni are to be cast as evil and Clan as good.

Do I like it?

No.

Do I believe it to be how I myself and virtually every Omni employee I've met behaves?

No.

Do I have a choice?

It appears not, though you don't give up on what you believe in.

Sure, I can always join clan, but I don't believe it's right to join terrorists of any form.

PS: don't see any neutral forms in the shops, do you?

[Swiftmind]

I am appalled to see a fellow omni citizen speak such words. Your very actions of trying to take our glorious leader down can be related to the rebels themselves. Take matters into our hands? That is what the rebels are doing, you are speaking of anarchy. I will not see a mare citizen like you; bring Omni-Tek into a dreaded anarchy. I am glade other Omni citizens have the wisdom to talk back to your outrageous and insane remarks.

If you have a problem with one decision Mr. Ross has done affecting your life, take it up with him and Omni-Admin. There is no need to get all of Omni-Tek in an uproar over something that you can’t even explain. No one needs to hear your life struggles.

Just for the sake of arguing, who will be our new CEO…hmmmm? You? A friend of yours? Have you even thought about it? I assume you haven’t. Vote on a new CEO, ridiculous. The fact is that Philip Ross has done an outstanding job for Omni-Tek Rubi-Ka. If he wasn’t doing a good job, Omni-Prime would replace him immediately. But Omni-Prime agrees that Mr. Ross is doing his job better then anyone else. Are you saying you are going against Omni-Prime?

You aren’t in any kind of position or have any information to speak such remarks, citizen.

[______________Trenty]

Lol...like I said, you all shall see which way the wind is blowing soon. I just hope you have your witch hats and broom ready, because the house is going to hit you on the head when it comes!

Trying to force order onto the anarchy of the universe is a futule effort and doomed to fail...eventually. Not in our life times, but eventually. The Clans and Omni-Tek will fall, someday. Someday Omni-Tek and the Clans will be long forgotten. Just another insignificent spec.

I'm going to go back under my rock until I get out of this doom prophet mode.

You poor misguided fellow! To confuse evil with preserving a way of life! Who here would prefer going home to a stucco hovel and dining on roller-rat on a stick following weeks in the wilderness, to a relaxing weekend at the Lush Resort Spa. Mister Ross has tried time and time again to work with the terrorists that threaten our beautiful cities, and with each disappointing result, he continues working for the good of all of his loyal employees.

Ditzie shakes her head sadly

You should indeed submit your concearns to Omni Admin.

It is my understanding that you will be heard out.

You will be politely asked to stand up.

You will cordialy handed an clan application.

You will be kindly escorted to the borders of Omni HQ.

You will be decently shot, and the cost of the bullet deducted from your severance pay.

[Aazamon]

OOC: Trenty seems to be a little confused between OOC and IC here. Is Omni-Tek supposed to be evil? Yes. Are the Clans supposed to be good? Yes. Does that mean every Omni-Tek employee is evil? No. Does that mean every Clanner is good? No.

Just a reminder in this black and white tale that funcom is trying to portray, your character has no reflection on you as a person so revel in your evilness, and if you don't want to be evil try to be an internal reformer within Omni-Tek. I think this recall Philip Ross campaign of yours could go well as a story line if handled right. Don't pull in OOC comments to your story that your character has no way of knowing, use what he knows and go with it. Go up against Omni-Pol and Omni-admin, create an organization bent on reforming Omni-Tek from the inside, link yourself to ICC somehow or something taht gives you credentials and makes Omni-Tek think twice about just eliminating you. But don't have a fit, have fun with it. Even in this black and white world Funcom is trying to build we as players have the power to fill in all the grey areas. good luck.

/ooc off

Phillip Ross is a war criminal and a liar, he should not only be recalled but also executed for his crimes against my people.

[Veshel]

(("Don't pull in OOC comments to your story that your character has no way of knowing, use what he knows and go with it. "

Very good point, and wonderful advice for most all RPers. Our characters don't know everything about the 'story' in an objective sense. Much like life, it should be spin, propaganda and perspective.

That being said, the poster can certainly pursue said objective, I would perhaps be alittle more diplomatic, but it has possibilities.

I understand the poster to not like the idea that all omni have been assigned 'evil' status by FC, especially in the upcoming SL expansion. I am not crazy about that either, but fantasy/sci fi stories, meant to drive games like these, can only be so complex.

Good vs. evil is camp, but it still makes for a darn compelling read/play. Yes, often time over blown, but fun none the less. ))



"Mushy philosophical vapid prattle. Omni tek contributes to advancement and order among sentient beings.

I use my knowledge to create tools and automations that protect and promote the corporation. Those that oppose the mission statement of Omni tek, shall be eviscerated and that once living goo used to grease the gears of my expertly made Wardroids.

Good, evil? Myopic views for simple minds."

[_____________Icedenf]

[CarLBanks]

Umm...Your clan so SHUT THE HECK UP! Omni-Tek can decide who they want has the CEO not filthy clan scum!

[Myers]

If there is evidence of "evil" crimes by Phillip Ross present it for a full investigation.
On a personal note Omni-Tek has in no way been a shinning example of goodness, especially on this planet, but Phillip Ross has been one of this corporations best reformers since he was put in charge of Rubi-Ka.
