TBH, doing a good job should be rewarded with more beatings so they remember why they work so hard.

Awwww muffin, need a tissue?
3 people from ~Spirit~ are currently Professionals. We wondered about that for a bit, then shrugged and went with it.
Myself, I'm looking forward to the many things to discuss with Means and the developers, should be interesting to say the least.
When I get some idea of what is incoming, Ukblizzard, I might get a hold of you and see if there's anything we can cook up.
I QUIT!
I mean...
I humbly accept this position and my duties bestowed upon me by the overseers at Funcom.
We had 4 people in Avatars Reloaded that were professionals in times past. It's not too unusual.
Thor Mastablasta Hammersmith - Level 220, AI 30, LE 70 Clan Atrox Nano Technician - Setup
The Red Brotherhood
I'm a Nano-Technician, don't ever expect me to fight unbuffed, alone or fair.
Means: about f'ing time :P
Satenia: heresy <3
Znore: Mastablasta <3
Kinkstaah: I have agro from many mobs ;(
Madarab: we are aoe class, we are supose to use pistols
Marxgorm: the NT toolset does not fit into my raiding tactics
bai2u!
-::l2pvp!1::-
Electronite: FFA also destroyed Clan hegemony when it comes to tower wars. Ironically the downfall was started by the most active pvpers. Another ironic thing is that the downfall happened due to pvm conflict. Silirrion: (We have pretty good anti-troll filters by now though) Means: Thong-wearing troxes will always be a part of this game and a point of AO pride. Keldros: Obviously reall trolls don't use conditioner Marlark: If this forum was Swedish in it's language .. id pawn you any day. 220 NT: tl7 is a joke most of the time. 90% of the people are double double dead. some are worth debuffing tho. Mastablasta: you guys are right and I'm wrong. Ebag: No. You alpha me'd due to the stat bug. More Ebag: I don't have any twinks currently, nor do I participate much in mass TL7 PvP (though I do go occasionally, usually just to watch). Questra: an MP in sneak eNSDed me and did about 20k damage in 10-12 seconds

Just looked through the winning professionals of all profs... tbh seems like most of the new professionals are the biggest trolls, whiners and generally unpleasant and unreasonable people (don't mean all of em, just some particular people, when me and my friends saw them as candidates we were all like "omg if this one wins I quit") and of course they all won. Imo the voting should have taken place ingame, since forum population is a very small part of the ingame population, either that or FC could just pick the people they find most reasonable. Democracy is the dumbest system mankind has ever invented ^^
Techno "Calamite" Witch -- 220/22 soli crat

got more, but don't remember their names
The way I see it, most if not all of the game's discussion and balancing efforts take place on the forums. Therefore, if you are not registered on the forums you are hardly acting as a member of the community and are waiving your privelege of voting and voicing your opinion. This was the most fair and organized way it could be done.
And did you really want to see voting end up like 'xp stims' did? :@
Yeah, what I'm saying is most players actually PLAY, not spend their time on the forums, because they have lives, jobs, kids or just don't care about all the trolls here, forums are for people who have way too much time on their hands (me included). And voting wasn't advertised ingame in any way so a "casual" player would take 5 minutes of his/her time and vote. Most of the forum inhabitants are the people who spend at least 12 hours a day ingame and 5 on the forums ^^
Besides, it takes some reading to determine each candidate's standing. People with constructive ideas usually keep rather quiet and don't shout their mouth in any discussion just for the sake of trolling, no wonder biggest loudmouths win.
As for xp stims, if you're referring to people creating multiple accounts and voting from them, imo it's easier to do at the forums than ingame. You can just limit votes to 1 per account and the account should have at least 1 toon over lvl 100. I know people have multiple accounts but what stops them from voting on the forums the same way? (dun dun dun I know how artyomis won )

This is so true. Real life and Rubi-ka has some similarities. Too many people are too uneducated/greedy to know their own good, and see the bigger picture. Thus vote for the guy who spammes them the most, or promises them the most personal gain. Luckily in a world of infinite resources like Rubi-KA, it will most likely not be the end of us..
And just like real life we'll have to suffer through everyones opinions about what SHOULD have happened until the next round.
Its really uncanny the parallels this professional election had to real life political campaigns. I certainly saw some similarities in how politicians react in certain situations as well as the people around them. I kept a blog throughout the process ill share with you all when I get home.
