I would like to nominate myself as Council Officer. I’ve been in the kinship since 2013. I have served as a leader on numerous occasions in the past, though only the members who’ve been with us for a while will remember those times. I’m committed to serving in the capacity of Council Officer for the six-month term. I will run and/or host events, help kinnies when I can, and try to bolster our active kinship roster when appropriate.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I would like to nominate Luckiest and Tebo for officer positions. They’re both active players who are helpful, very knowledgeable, and like to run things!

Thanks, Salnir! :)

Hello everyone, I may be a day late on the deadline for this and if so, no worries. I’d like to put my name in for officer this term. Those of you who have been with us a while know me well and for those of you that are newer, I’m one of the individuals that created the structure of the kinship in the beginning. I’ve been the leader of the kinship several times in the past. I returned to the game in October to visit friends and play the Harvestmath festival but decided to stay around. Personally, I will bring friendly chat and bad jokes to chat, a few interesting events, and camaraderie. I had surgery last week, so I’ve been offline. Today is the first day I felt well enough to log onto my computer.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello everyone,

I’d like to put my hat in the ring for leader once again. Here are my promises to you if you vote for me:

*More events OF ALL TYPES (you heard me right)
*Complaining about my cats (thankfully, no more puppy complaints as she goes to her new home this Saturday!)
*Create new alliance or drastically revitalize the existing TEB alliance
*Determining an official theme song for the kinship
*Finding more level 120 Guardian tanks and LMs…somehow
*Making sure officers answers their mail a bit faster (sorry, officers)
*Addressing inappropriate behavior in kinchat and during kin runs, which is exactly what you love about this here librarian.
*Recruitment of more Pacific (US) and Asian time zone players so our late night (server time) friends are less lonely
*Gleefully talking about Star Trek whenever the opportunity arises.
*Creation of a group for those that are T2 ready or those actively working toward that goal.
*Standing in Bree while multi-tasking for hours on end.
*Orient newer members/re-orient all of our members to our kinship, it’s resources, and it’s website as well as get all active members a copy of our kinship ceremonial garb.
*And, most importantly, refresh and revitalize our kinhouses and the kinship neighborhood. We’re gonna add a movie theater, a Starbucks, and a Honda Steed Dealership for good measure.

I did this on my lunch at work so I’m sure I’ve forgotten at least ten bullet points worth of promises and jokes and will regret at least two of the bullet points I’ve already added.

VOTE FOR GUI!

Her name is Anubis.

Gad and Anniee,

I love that both of you nominated me for the leadership role. It’s nice to know that my past work has not gone unnoticed and that people actually like me ;). However, I am unable to meet the duty requirements to fulfill that position at this time and it would be unfair to the Council Officers for me to continue in a role like that when I no longer can meet those requirements. As any past officer can tell you, I take those responsibilities somewhat seriously and I’m not a fan of being hypocritical.

Your thoughts warmed my heart and I do appreciate your support of me as leader. I’ve been around a bit more over the last month, still not often enough, of course; but, I look forward to getting a chance, even if just one hour a week, to log in and chatting with everyone.

Again, thank you Gad and Anniee, for your trust in me.

[guiviendoomslayer]

Slyv,

Is this a self-nomination or telling me to get on the job and get an officer for your time zone/play time? ;)

If this is a tentative self-nomination contingent on your concerns, you would have to commit to running/leading one monthly pre-scheduled event. If you’re concerned about the duty to “participate in group activities regularly” that’s only if those sorts of activities are going on during the time you are playing. So, we aren’t expecting any officer to shift play times to participate in group activities happening at other times, if that clears that up.

I was going to nominate you myself, Slyv, and wanted to talk to you about this very things via IM; however, we’ve not been on at the same time recently which is why I’m responding here.

Either way, I respect your wish to run or not run for officer.

Best,

Gui
