I've come to the conclusion that a committee will be very helpful and almost necessary to keep up with all of the disputes, requests, broken rules, inappropriate behavior, and other issues. The committee will be responsible for reviewing actions that either violate the established rules or are otherwise considered inappropriate. The committee will help determine who is responsible for the action and what punishment, if any, is appropriate. Committee members may be asked to contact the people involved, view logs, etc. to research the details of the case. Potentially personal and private data may be discussed (IP addresses, emails, names, etc.) This information is not to go beyond the committee. If committee members can't unanimously decide on an appropriate punishment, a poll will be run to vote on the issue.
Some examples of things the committee may have to decide on:
- A cheater is banned on a widely shared computer/network. Should the ban be lifted so non-cheaters on the network can play?
- Multiple accounts were found registered from the same computer. Were these accounts registered by the same person? Were the multiple registrations intentional or accidental? Should any punishment be used for violating the one account rule?
- Two different clans wish to use the same tag. Which clan should be allowed to have the tag?
- Two players wish to use the same name. Who should have rights to the name?
- A player is offended by the behavior of another player and requests some action be taken. What, if any, action needs to be taken?
- Somebody requests that an old clan or some former clan history be deleted because it makes him look disloyal and unattractive to recruiting clans. Should his request be honored?
- A player distributes links to download cheats. What, if any, action should be taken?
- Somebody registers a name that resembles a current player's name. Is it an attempt to spoof or just coincidence? Should any action be taken?
Here is how the nominations will work:
- Nominations will run for about a week or two, depending on how long it takes to get a good list of candidates.
- Each player can nominate only one person.
- You can't nominate yourself.
- The person nominated must accept the nomination. If he is not willing to be part of the committee, the person who nominated him may nominate another person.
Once a sufficient list of candidates is generated, I will create a poll with all the nominations that allows (up to) 10 votes. Everybody gets to pick their top 10.
-
I nominate y00tz. Im sure he'd love to do it.
~MT
-
I'll nominate Zorch.
-
Jesse Bain
-
KiLo :D
-
Why hasn't anyone nominated jits yet? ;)
-
Why hasn't anyone nominated jits yet? ;)
Cuz everyone knows that he is an honorary member!
Actually Eiii makes a point. Will jitspoe and the Moderators automatically be members or do they need to be nominated too?
-
And the question arises what if one or more persons from committee can´t be online during decision making process? Are there like reserve squad that will kick in if this kinda things occurred?
I nominate loial21.
-
b00nlander (Pureblood).
-
So the committee is actually gonna start up? Anyways, i guess i'd nominate y00tz
-

...Too late.
-
I'll go with Blitz.
Editted because Cobo is nominating Eiii, so I don't need to. :D
-
satan
-
Zorch, Queenie, DaRkNeSS, Xbain, Apoc, idk
-
I guess i'll wait till the actual voting thread comes to vote for my main man yootzy
-
Zorch, Queenie, DaRkNeSS, Xbain, Apoc, idk
Read. One vote per person.

satan
Satan or s8n?
As for the moderators and me, I'll let the community decide. Naturally I'll need to be involved in the discussions, but when it comes to voting, the outcome will be determined by the elected members, whether they include me or not.
And the question arises what if one or more persons from committee can´t be online during decision making process? Are there like reserve squad that will kick in if this kinda things occurred?
Topics and polls will be posted on a private forum (though some of the more immediate discussion may take place on IRC). I figure if we have about 10 total members, having 5 or so online should be sufficient for a decision making, unless there are some strong disagreements, in which case we can post a poll and give the other members a day or two to participate.
-
I nominate skater
-
ViciouZ would be a good choice, he is online a lot and is very involved in multiple facets of the game.
-y00tz
-
satan
Satan or s8n?
Lord S8n of 20id
-
i nominate stephen schultz
-
I nominate myself.
Why you ask? Because I'm clearly DaBest candidate for the job..
-
I nominate myself.
Why you ask? Because I'm clearly DaBest candidate for the job..
i second that :)
-
Olbaid's attendance on this commitee would be superb.
-
Olbaid would be a diligent member of the DP committee, improving it in such ways none could imagine, so vote for him.
-
I nominate dystro, the most dedicated DP player I know
-
I nominate Olbaid as well.
-
I can think of no one better suited for the position than Olbaid.
Olbaid is one of the most responsible, intelligent candidates you shall ever come across. As 4-year High School Class President, he achieved more than any other in the school's 60-year history. After graduating with full honors, at the top of his senior class, Olbaid decided to pass on the full-ride football and baseball scholarships, and persue his dream of becoming an Electrical Engineer.
Currently, Olbaid assumes leadership roles in many high-ranking school clubs, such as the chess club and the Dungeons and Dragons club. Olbaid is also coordinator and overseer of the college's annual Ye Olde Renaissance Faire.
With such qualifications, can anyone possibly turn him down for this position?
-
I nominate Olbaid, because he is clearly the hottest and smartest person for the job.
-
I nominate olbaid and pureblood
-
Haze.
-
why cant ppl be serious...
-
ViciouZ would be a good choice, he is online a lot and is very involved in multiple facets of the game.
-y00tz
:D
I'm split between S8N and Zorch...
-
I already nominated zorch.
-
Yeah, just because of all the double posting this looks more like a vote.
-
Chef-Killer
-
T3RR0R15T
-
T3RR0R15T :P
-
I nominate Xile. :)
-
Currently, Olbaid assumes leadership roles in many high-ranking school clubs...Dungeons and Dragons club.
.
I'm sorry, but...LOL
I really LOLed...at work...and everyone looked at me funny.
Most everyone i'm thinking to nominate has already been nominated.
I nominate...DirtyTaco
Is anyone going to nominate Calrathan?
-
I'm sorry, but...LOL

Is anyone going to nominate Calrathan?
I didn't lol I roflmao.
Everyone took mine so I'll nominate Knack lol :P
-
I nominate bitmate.
I would also like to withdraw my nomination from Pureblood. Thank you for the nomination (and kind gesture) but I don't really think that my time is best spent on the tasks involved with this committee. I'm already a community representative for PB2 on GGC and I'll be working with the other 'ComReps' and staff to deliver other events and features for the crowd on Global Gamers Center.
-
Is anyone going to nominate Calrathan?
I'll nominate him.
-
i nominate QueeNiE
he is awsome and all he does is help =P he helpd me train and showd me some kool new maps that he made better..... that was my clans map and it wasnt fully compiled but it is now and much better
woot. QueeNiE woot.
-
I was serious about my skater nomination. I think he would bring a point of view to the committee that represents a portion of the community typically unrepresented.
-
I Nominate Queenie.
-
I was serious about my skater nomination. I think he would bring a point of view to the committee that represents a portion of the community typically unrepresented.
you could represent that portion of the community just as good but without all the bullexcrement he would do
-
Yeah nightryder get off DT...
and DT's right, I do believe we need an exhacker who does not have a bad reputation as far as acting civil when he/she was banned.
I second skater, not that I think he would want to be on it but we need a hacker on it
-
you don't need to second, this is the nomination thread.
-
good call my bad
-
::)
-
If your looking for an ex-hacker, I feel that there are plenty of others that would be a far better choice than skater, but then again, that's your decision. :)
Also, I would like to say this:
If either Haze OR skater get into the committee, I will almost surely quit DP.
I'm sorry, but if they are some how elected I will have lost all hope for this game.
I hope you all come to your senses. If you want to talk to me on my views on why I think skater and Haze should not be allowed to join the committee just talk to me on IRC.
Also, I would like to nominate Xile.
Reason: From his actions on IRC and the forums, I feel he would be the best candidate for the committee.
-
Why do I feel some people are nominating people are nominating the worst person possible to make a point... ::)
I never really liked the idea of a committee, but if you are going to do it I guess I'll nominate Eiii, because even though he might come off as a jerk some times, I am 100% (maybe 90%) positive he'd be objective in his decisions.
-
im nominate Superman and Xile for commitee and Mosez + viper as euro reps.
-superman has being playing dp for a while and is good + hes helpfull and xile is one of the few people working towards the greator good in pball
-Mosez + viper because it is definetly nessecary to have a euro member on the commitee because a fair share of the dp population is european
-
LOL @ Mosez and Viper.
We don't need Euros on the committee... it's has nothing to do with what country they're from.
-
LOL @ Mosez and Viper.
We don't need Euros on the committee... it's has nothing to do with what country they're from.
-umm dude even though people are nominated and if they do actually get on the comitee it doesnt mean people wont be biast to european palyers. sadly, ive heard plenty of people making racial slurs about european players and 2 people from europe would be perfectly suitable for the committee just to be able to stand up for all the europeans who play the game...
-

way to leave out the one person who has the most nominations. OLBAID!
-
Wow, I remember adding him though, must of accidentally deleted him when I was putting them in alphabetical order. Err..fixed..
/failz :(
-
If you're going to put in some Euro players, make it someone respectable like PURE or Lekky.
-
I nominate Jens10.
-
2nd that motion
-
3rd... jens10 will bring something special to this community.
-
Will Jitspoe be on this commitee automatically? Or do we have to nominate him in? If so, I nominate Jitspoe.
-
3rd... jens10 will bring something special to this community.
Again, nominations don't need to be seconded or thirded or anything.
-
I think they were simply trying to stress the point of how badly we need Jens10 on this committee.
-
Why are you guys trying to make a joke of this thread.
I seriously hope those weren't serious nominations.

if i didnt already nominate stephen and olbaid jens10 would have been first on my list.
-
this is hilarious, at best.
-
No I'm dead serious, we need someone who thinks outside the box.
And based off how good his grammar is, he is probably from Europe.
-
how well his grammar is
I laughed.
-
jens10
-
i nominate y2j
-
olbaid all the way
-
*caugh*
already nominated.
U can pick another but if you wanna olbaid no need to nominate him again.
:)
-
i believe the word is cough*
-

Jesse Bain (XtremeBain) - b00nlander
Some of you nominated more than one person or nominated a person who was already nominated. If your name isn't on the right side of the list, clearly state the one person you are nominating or wait for the poll to vote if that person has already been nominated.
this is hilarious, at best.
You asked me to read and respond to Blitz's post. I did:
It just feels to me to start to border the line of too much control, perhaps we should at least look into having some kind of board or something where decisions such as these are not made by any one person, but rather a group.
-
I'll nominate Eiii, because even though he might come off as a jerk some times, I am 100% (maybe 90%) positive he'd be objective in his decisions.
You're banned.
-
I personally nominate DaRkNeSS
-
I accept (from my crackberry)
-
I nominate Spook! :o
i'll accept
-
Yeah and I'm glad you read it- but instead of putting together an even committee that represents everyone in the game, which would have to be done for the committee to mean anything, people are just nominating forum leaders, who don't even necessarily play the game anymore, aren't represented in the clan scene, have barely been around as long as half of the other people on here, and if you really think any of these people that constantly suck up to you are going to be objective, represent everyone, and not be swayed by what you think... then I don't even know what to say, cause it's quite obvious pretty much everyone has an agenda or bias towards everyone who posts on here.
-
and i nominate herron, talk about someone who's been around this game longer then pretty much everyone here and seen years and years of excrement, it's that mofo.
-

I don't know if I should take offence to this or not.
hmmm
-
I AcCepT.
Seriously though, we don't need a committee. It's pointless. Let's just let Jitspoe make the decisions. None of us care about some 2 week funname newb. Perhaps if it is a problem involving a big name in the community, just make a poll and have everyone vote.
-
So go tell "everyone in the game" about this thread and have them vote.
-
Does anyone know the percentage of Americans who actually vote for our presidents?
My point is, if they don't come vote, then they have nothing to complain about. And obviously, pub newbies probably don't know enough about the active community to really have an opinion.
-
*Cue 'Hail to the Chief'*
Friends, noobs, countrymen. I gladly accept the nomination of the entire Demopublic party to run for the position of dictator czar tyrant King of the World of Paintcraft.
You will not be sorry. Now where's my axe? A good king can't rule without an axe handy.
Send campaign contributions to calrathan@gmail.com
I accept small puppies (<3 kg) as payment. Rabid donations accepted, but please send them to my enemies fellow candidates.
-
Now now, no reason to express your love for the metric system. You'll make the imperial system jealous.
-
If you are on this list, please state clearly if you accept or decline the nomination:
I'll accept my nomination.
-
cusoman i nominate.
He is very active on the forums and is starting to post more and a more. He is always helpful too.
-
I will accept my nomination as well.
-
accepted
-
I'll nominate Soldier
-
I accept dat.
-
I nominate Cameron, why: Im not sure lol.
-

My point is, if they don't come vote, then they have nothing to complain about. And obviously, pub newbies probably don't know enough about the active community to really have an opinion.
I think the point being made is that we should at least try to inform as much of the community as possible about this vote. I'm sure most Americans must know about their right to vote for President, but choose not to (or can't be bothered).
-
cusoman i nominate.
I Accept my nomination.
-
I decline my nomination.
-
i accept
-
I nominate sk89q, he contributed lots to the game. But I don't know if he will be on all the time.
-
I accept.
-
I'll nominate Soldier
That looks like a self-nomination.
-
does the committee really need that many people, like 5 or 7 is ok, odd number is better too incase they need to vote within themselves. .......jits Xile herron queenie Knack calrathan and eii.....sounds nice...
-
I wasn't aware we had to accept, but I do. :P
-
I decline my nomination.
If you don't mind me asking, why? :(
-
I'll nominate TheRealSoldier
-
I Accept my nomination.
-
I'll nominate TheRealSoldier
I Accept my nomination.
still probably the same person
-
I nominate Mayhem
-
Who is Mayhem? I have never even heard of him. People that are known and active in the community should be on the committee.
-

no way dude i saw we pull random names off a pub and slap a committee tag in front of their names, seeing as how most of the people that probably will be appointed as members hardly, if ever, play this game anymore. =\
-
What is with all this nomination accepting?
Is this a requirement I missed?
I'll accept mine then.
-

Everyone else was doing it so I did it too. :)
-
Here is how the nominations will work:
- Nominations will run for about a week or two, depending on how long it takes to get a good list of candidates.
- Each player can nominate only one person.
- You can't nominate yourself.
- The person nominated must accept the nomination. If he is not willing to be part of the committee, the person who nominated him may nominate another person.
reading helps.
-
I nominate Mayhem
Accepted ;D
-
This is just a idea but maybe jitspoe should make some kind of test for each nominee to take to show what they acutally know about paintball2 therefore it would weed it out people who just come on and post their friend's name and think nothing more about it.
-
Only if I can vote for me
HINT
-
I ACCEPT MY NOMINATION- THANK YOU DREW
-
i've been watching this thread waiting for someone to nominate P!nk. Since no one has, I'll nominate P!nk. I don't know of anyone with better judgement and willingness to help out the game, and seems unfazed by all the bs which goes on.
-
I would like to say nothing and mean alot.
1. "We all bleed red!!!"
2. There is nothing to fear but cheaters and those who know how to cheat.
What is the COUNT at?
Loials lobos.
-
nightryder, we arent the same person!
-
I sooooooooo accept.
-
i nominate MAYHEM.
-
i nominate MAYHEM.
Somebody tell me who the intercourse Mayhem is?
-
Someone's friend the best that I can determine.....
-
KiLo knows who I am and doesn't like me.
And just because someone isn't "popular" doesn't mean they shouldn't have a chance to be on the commitee.
-
They just won't get votes
-
Thats why I think this whole nomination and voting thing is wrong for selecting a committee.
-
Which is better: A community of well known people who are popular or a commitee of people new into the forums who aren't that well known and may turn the game in directions unpopular with regular players and vets because they don't yet know fully what the community wants. I'm not specifically talking about you mate, but if there wasn't a vote... (a commitee of jens10s.)
-
Pureblood or Lekky...in my opinion,those are the most competent European players for this project.
I don't want to get shot by Kilo,so i wont nominate any other ,I'd like too see in a committee :)
-
I don't think i've nominated anyone yet, so my nomination goes to blaa, an excellent mapper and player.
-
Well, I don't think people should be excluded just because they are new or not known because i've heard of vets playing under noname.
-
I didn't say they should be excluded.
-
i nominate painke. S2
-
Illl take s00ny aka fat sonny <3
AND I ACCEPT MINE
-
If you don't mind me asking, why? :(
Because over the years I have tried many ways to better the community. And I don't think personally a committee would help much. Like I have stated before, I only included the question in the dp survey to get a rough outline of what people think. I did not intend for it to start anything real. And to be frank, I'm done trying to do what other people don't. It's time for someone else to step up to the plate and give it a shot because I'm just exausted. I'll just play the way I always have and enjoy myself as always. I don't think many people will change anyways. It's just the way the internet world is today. It's sad but true. I have many doubts that the community will ever regain it's integrity. I had a lot of people I thought were for the better good behind definedp. To my dismay, half of them have been banned for things that go against the code. So, really. People will always just do what the "cool" people want them to. And no, maybes were not counted as a yes. They were counted as undecided, which only 3 people voted this way. I just say good luck to those elected and I hope you have better luck then I did.
-
surprised noone has nominated cobo
-
Has anyone actually taken the trouble to read the first post in this thread? I think many people are missing the point.
It seems to me that Jitspoe would actually welcome some help with regards to issues he has to deal with on an almost daily basis, but which would be possible to delegate to another responsible body. There have been alot of situations recently that have not been dealt with before, for example the Y2J login password and Canadian IT camp hacking. I'm sure that these situations could be handled maturely and responsibly by an elected committee, thus allowing Jitspoe to deal with things such as the development of this gorgeous game. He only has so many hands.
-
I accept mine. :D
-
I want the game to get better and I would like to help. But there is no respect in this community and I hear this from lots of people.
Thats also another reason a few people is leavin the game and another reason why its not growing much.
I made no nominations cause all the people I feel should be on the commitee is already nominated.
Hmmmm Dont know if Edge was nominated but I will say him.
-
Thats also another reason a few people is leavin the game and another reason why its not growing much.
this game has more than tripled in active, consistently returning players in the last 3 months
-
Arent you supposed to be gone Herron?
-
*poke*
-
Accepted.
And I nominate J0E. <3
-
this game has more than tripled in active, consistently returning players in the last 3 months
DB not really active cause tahts where most of the new people went I never see them. As far as returnin players I seen a few comeback and a few leave so, although more people signed up dont mean they are active.
-
You are still wrong I see new people playing the game all the time. And then I see the same new people playing for the next week straight.
-
I nominate Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. The world-famous G.P. He's a brilliant, yet troubled man, and I'm privileged enough to know him. There are rebels, and there are innovators. Dr. Rick Dagless M.D is a rebel. He's a rebel brain expert who's in rebelliance against conventional logic, who's in rebelliance against the world order. Thats what Dr. Rick Dagless M.D is about, rebelliance. And if that's not being an innovator, I dunno what is.
-

Atmays, this game is more popular now than ever before i'm sure. There are lots of new players, just look at the number who have regged a global login account for instance! The goal is to help out the clan community, that is get those pub players into the community. But as for new players, we arn't doing to badly on that front.
-
surprised noone has nominated cobo
meh, I would decline anyway, I dont really have the time for that kind of stuff right now.
-
eradicator
I would also like to withdraw my nomination from Pureblood. Thank you for the nomination (and kind gesture) but I don't really think that my time is best spent on the tasks involved with this committee. I'm already a community representative for PB2 on GGC and I'll be working with the other 'ComReps' and staff to deliver other events and features for the crowd on Global Gamers Center.
-
I know there are new players but most come play for a week than dont comeback.
You cant really use that REG numbers to even prove the numbers. Considering we didnt have the system when I first started, Im pretty sure noone knew how many people played the game before the global login.
-
3000 before the GLS and like what 6000 after the GLS
-
so when we gonna vote ? :D
-
We already did. Like, yesterday.
-
VOTE TIME
-
Never we are just going to keep nominating people and see how many different names we can come up with. :P
Edit: WTF I'm confused!!! ???
-
i should be on this list of nominees
-
i should be on this list of nominees
you nominate me i nominate you :)
-
3000 before the GLS and like what 6000 after the GLS
Theres been over 20k global registrations .
-
I just pulled some numbers out of thin air. :P ;D
-
I nominate bob. Best thing to happen to dp since it started.
-
i'll go with lekky.(dunno if his name as come up already though)
-
i'll stay dedicated to CoW and nominate SIRWAR. now heres my reasoning for my nomination. i believe he represents the clan he started. As the leader of Crusaders, he keeps a positive outlook on the game, befriends and helps new players, has great ideas about gameplay. im sure if elected into the committe he would be fair and impartial. over all he would be an asset to the community.
thnxs DP'ers
may the moo!! be with you
kidwar
-
ive never heard of this kid must be a pub person lol

Hm.
I know your all against this comittee thing.
But as the community (actually, jitspoe :) ) decided to go trough with this you should just accept it because you know you are needed in this comittee.
You can be against it but also be a part of it since people think you are one of the best suited for the "job".
Also im pretty sure it wont take you much time. You will still have time to be a "community representative on GGC" or whatever you called it.
I'm only wasting my time typing this because if all the best people for the comittee resign...then this comittee becomes the worst idea from all time (And thats saying much, since it would have to fight for it with the idea of b squads).
-
ive never heard of this kid must be a pub person lol
and the problem being what exactly if he is? the members of crusaders are fairly known in pubs. THE committee if i recall is supposed to be a group of peers or am i mistaken? so only the "ELITE" of DP are allowed on the committee? no one elected to remind the "VETS" as to how they felt
or acted when they were so called "newbs"? I'm pretty sure
the new players out number the dedicated ones, if i am mistaken on this then you would have to remember "jitspoe's plan" of enlarging the community. for bringing in new players. a larger fan base. who will represent these people? a person who says "must be a pub person. lol" maybe you should get out of the private sector and get in touch with the newer players. not all of us are that bad. but the question remains.... who will represent the newer players as they show up? "for the people, by the people"
-
The dedicated players might be out numbered, but we would still win a 200 vs 20,000 of you pub newbs.
-
The problem with 'pub players' is that they have no clue what's going on in the community. I'm sure they could learn in most cases, but I'd be much more comfortable with someone who already knows what they're doing on the committee rather than someone who intends to pick it up as they go.
-
would you elect a child to be president or would you elect some one who knows what theyre doing (bad example?)
-

You got the point across though.
-
The dedicated players might be out numbered, but we would still win a 200 vs 20,000 of you pub newbs.
yet again... some are better skilled than others. the question isnt about how well you play.... BUT... wait for it....
How well you can serve the community? The neat thing about all this is the fact how many people actually play on a regular basis but are not "members of the community". yet again.. I am a PUB NEWB in most of your eyes but I play almost every day. as do most other people. One of the reasons most of us stay in pubs or certain private servers is the simple fact that most vets give no help or simply laugh when asked a question that seems simple to them. granted there are a few out there that do help.
would you elect a child to be president or would you elect some one who knows what theyre doing (bad example?)
So this committee is just for the clan members who match all the time? Okay I get it now. Us pub newbs are not members of the community. Not a single one of us know what we're doing. Granted I know nothing about programming, developing add-ons for the game, and such. I do however have an opinion. Also I do know alot about matching. Some of us didn't know anything about the game but figured it out by talking amongst our pubselves. but to end all.... you see how a NEWB tries to become integrated, make a suggestion, and all of a sudden it's "we're better than you". I think I shall disappear quietly into the night and fade away from the forums as I whisper this final post.... "thank you for representing your own elite group."
-
Actually I think Sir would be perfect for the committee hes not really new to the community. Ive playin wit him for a while. What is it to know thats so important that it stops people from being on the committee. Can you be specific with that, so we can know who qualifies and who dont.
-
its not that you dont know anything.... its that we dont know you know anything
-
its not that you dont know anything.... its that we dont know you know anything
See you guys just think yall know everything and whatever yall say goes, and thats not how it should be.
I think the PUBNEWBS as called are the most wise. Considering the so called VETS act like as ses
-
You're making this into us saying we're better than you. That's not what it is- It's saying we have much more experience in being and dealing with this community than you. The servers themselves are really not social enough to be considered community interaction.
-
i think most of the people r jerk to most of the community so i vote for no one
meow
-
The community is basically being active... whether it be irc, the forums, or in game, all of it is community interaction in some way. In game interactions just aren't as solid as forums or irc, because you're playing, and that's a small part of being an active member. Get well known, prove you can be unbiased (for the most part) and be respectful. Over time you will come to be considered a respectable community member, but as of right now, no one really knows who you are.
-
I don't really understand the concerns of some people here. If there are players on the nominee list who are not well known due to the fact that they're rather new, they're less likely to get many votes compared to veteran players who are known to most everyone who is visiting these forums. I hope you will understand that your concerns should vanish when the voting process begins, and there is no need to flame.

"dealing with this community" only points to the veteran community here, too. you're basically leaving out the newer players
-
And to write the person that u would nominate tahAt is just sad to c most people dot vote anyways it IS like 10 out of 100

I would like to say I m sorry if I flamed anyone. I will go back to the pubs where I belong. Sorry everyone.

Well im active in IRC, Matches, and Such. Been playing for bout A year. But yet im considered a new player, and a pubnewb. I like to match but when you match better clans they jus flame you and call you newb and scream you suck and all this.
I know pretty much everybody and I dont think I deserve to be on the commitee more than SIR.
Hes very helpful and He could help DP grow.
-

Where do you get that at? While in >LeG< I have matched/scrimmed clans like Ij, Starz, CC and they have never done anything like what you mentioned above.
-
Because over the years I have tried many ways to better the community. And I don't think personally a committee would help much. Like I have stated before, I only included the question in the dp survey to get a rough outline of what people think. I did not intend for it to start anything real. And to be frank, I'm done trying to do what other people don't. It's time for someone else to step up to the plate and give it a shot because I'm just exausted. I'll just play the way I always have and enjoy myself as always. I don't think many people will change anyways. It's just the way the internet world is today. It's sad but true. I have many doubts that the community will ever regain it's integrity. I had a lot of people I thought were for the better good behind definedp. To my dismay, half of them have been banned for things that go against the code. So, really. People will always just do what the "cool" people want them to. And no, maybes were not counted as a yes. They were counted as undecided, which only 3 people voted this way. I just say good luck to those elected and I hope you have better luck then I did.
I agree that it's not going to be a huge fix, but it could help a bit, assuming the right people get on it. I can see why you're getting burned out, there have been a lot of projects lately that look great, then they die out quickly due to many reasons. This committee might end up representing more than it was originally supposed to.
I'll accept my nomination from Hobo, one potential problem is that I can't really be on IRC, well, I might, just not all the time. Also, the committee will be presenting weekly updates to the community, right?
One last thing, can someone drag Blitz in here to accept his nomination?
Actually, one more, what if all the current nominees are divided into categories so that we can be positive each group is "officially" represented?
-
i think more newbies would be more mature about the game then people that play 5 years
-
Maturity comes with the people, not how long they've played
-
Where do you get that at? While in >LeG< I have matched/scrimmed clans like Ij, Starz, CC and they have never done anything like what you mentioned above.
Im not sayin it like Ij vs uR or one of the top clans.
Im sayin what if LEG match dbe and own them KILO knowin you, you would flame them all game.
like LOL THIS IS EASY, or PATHETIC
I say TOO EASY round people that know me and how I play, and they know im playin. But other little clans or jus startin clans take that to the head.
Now look how everyone treated DeW from start to endin. Most of them players was VETS. I say not committee worthy. and alot of the people nominated was part of the flaming of DeW.
-
As much as I appreciate your guys nomination. I would have to say I would not want to be on the committee. I'd would just like to do what I have been doing the last 5 years and that is playing quietly in the background enjoying the game. Simple as that.
-
He been playin for 5 years shows how much alot of you know.
-
sorry sir... just thought you would be a good person to represent all us pub players. didnt mean for it to get outta hand. but it did bring out the best in all of us. ;D
-
shh jason or antohny will unleash em on u:)
-
oops.. must ffaaaaddddeeee.
-
Maybe us PUBNEWBS as called should start a commitee similar to the senate to check the power of the committee (reps) so It could be more fair to everyone.
-
You're over complicating things. We need a committee to take pressure off jits. One of the only ways to get on that committee is to be trusted in the community. The only way to be trusted in the community is to have been here for at least ten seconds or so. Don't expect to be able to jump in from playing and just lead.
-
My whole point is that if you play the game, and is dedicated to the game. You should have a chance to be heard. Not be classified as a PUBNEWB or whatever. I think for the game to grow, even the PUBNEWBS should have a say in somethings.
-
People outside of the community won't be mute or ignored. Post on the forums, feature request, whatever. You'll be ridiculed as is needed.
OR, if your idea's good, we'll consider it and it might be implemented in like a few years.

But noone is really tryna here what anyone from the pubs got to say. I say PUBNEWBS getttin turned around everytime they consider something.
-
Examples in which the idea was reasonable but turned down because the person proposing it was new?
-
I agree that alot of "vets" don't seem to care about "newbs" and the problems they go through.
Alot of "vets" do actually laugh when you ask the questions that they don't know, and flame you when they beat you in matches or in pubs.
I think that most "vets" think they own the world and that all of the "newbs" should give up and quit.
It would be wrong if only "vets" were on the committee, it would be wrong if only "newbs" were on the committee, why can't we have both? insted of the few minor problems "vets" deal with.
Also if your not active in pub servers aren't you inactive in part of the community? ;)
-
Also if your not active in pub servers aren't you inactive in part of the community? ;)
Not really :D
anyway, end this stupid argue...lets wait for the vote, then everyone votes on who they think will be best suited for the job.
-
Well, in my opinion, "vets" are usually the friendliest most helpful players, and have generally been playing > 3 years. Vets meaning people like KnacK, Xile, Eiii, Reed, Pure, etc... The ones you're thinking of have been playing for 6 months - 2 years and still haven't reached puberty.
-
Well, how many and who is nominated? Forgive my lazyness.
-
Hm.
I know your all against this comittee thing.
But as the community (actually, jitspoe :) ) decided to go trough with this you should just accept it because you know you are needed in this comittee.
You can be against it but also be a part of it since people think you are one of the best suited for the "job".
Also im pretty sure it wont take you much time. You will still have time to be a "community representative on GGC" or whatever you called it.
I'm only wasting my time typing this because if all the best people for the comittee resign...then this comittee becomes the worst idea from all time (And thats saying much, since it would have to fight for it with the idea of b squads).
The mandate for this committee isn't to bring change, innovation or an organized competitive environment to this game. This committee is to decide the fate of name stealers, players who "didn't" cheat or griefers. Basically jitspoe is taking all the criticism for any Global Login or Global Ban List decisions he makes and he feels that these judgements would be better left to a panel of community representatives. As you can see this entire thing is turning into a popularity contest and all the players who haven't been around half as long as I have been calling out the "newbs" like they are incapable of making any logical decisions.
Feel free to nominate me for a committee which oversees the game design and delivery or one that's in charge of making a decent NA tournament, or maybe just take a look over at the Feature Vote thread (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5060.0) and vote for some of the things I've suggested.
-
As soon as the words vote and nominate were typed people got the wrong end of the stick. I've tried to remind people previously what this thread is about, but it seems most people see the thread title and nothing else.
How long people have played this game for should have nothing to do with nominations. The things that count are maturity, abilty to see both sides of an argument and being able to put forward an unbiased judgement backed up with well-thought out arguments.
The main purpose of a potential committee is to help Jitspoe, and provide multiple viewpoints to situations that may or may not have occured before within the community.
Now with regards to so called "pub newbies" being nominated, that in itself is not the issue. The issue is that as they have not been part of the community, it is very hard to assess their nature, behaviour, maturity, decision making skills etc, thus making them slightly less favourable candidates than people we as the communty know about.
And please, try not to flame in this thread of all threads.

off-topic: I'm so sorry english is not my mother language, so I cant make a beatifull text like the two above. :(
Bain, either way, you got nominated. Meaning at least someone thinks you are good for the job.
Even if the comittee is just for name stealers or players who "didnt" cheat, there are a lot of people wanting you in it.
Meaning? You are needed.
Now I understand if you dont want to waste your time on something you think is not very important, but then again i'm sure it wont take you much time.

Hmmm.... I see although that wasn't the way I began, I respect them as I've noticed many do not it must take a lot of courage to come in front of all these people who could ridicule them for their radacal (not always good though) ideas. Take jens10 for example I doubt we'll ever see here on the forums again except with errors in the help and support section or w/e because she came in with idea yes I know it wouldn't fit in paintball and I know I wasn't the best either but the majority of us ridiculed her for her ideas we just lost one of many who could have become a great member of this forum community this is one thing I think this community could work on as a whole. Also I apologize if anyone takes any offense from this post I was only trying to let my ideas be known to everyone who cares to listen to me so again I'll say it try to respect them for who knows how they could turn out for all we know they could make a great contribution to Paintball and this community.
Thanks,

Lying to people doesn't create great forum members. If we're open and honest without flaming, then "Jens10" isn't necessarily more likely to stick around, but rather become a useful member of this board.

I accept my nomination, I feel that I have a great knowledge of the game and being that I do not play anymore and am not an active member of the community there will be a smaller chance of playing favorites or having a bias when it comes to decision making about global bans, names stealing, and whatever else this comittee is going to do. I am always connected to IRC and checkout whats happening frequently even though I dont say much.

I havnt actaully completed a video game of my own but i've got far enough to know how much work is really involved in the background of the visual aspect. when I first saw the list of candidates I was quite shocked at who was actually suggested. I'd personaly choose knack for his general knowledge and obviously and fourthx and loial and a few gt members for their strict policies, everyone else i've noticed has their own personal goals and selectve hate.... I'd have to say they couldnt better the community rather destroy and segregate the community, I dont know if im up to the challange of handling such a big responsibility but I would like to help to see dp get better with the community and would be honored. Thank you loial and rez for your contribution for thinking I can better the community.

I'd like to have at least the half of the commitee to be european... just for representing us.
And i think,lekkys experiences would perfectly fit in the "Racism"-thing,but maybe it would be helpful to underline my suggestion to get a half europeans in there,to try to prevent the things we've already discussed in the thread i named above.
-
Well Alpha, you and lekky are about the only Europeans that haven't hacked so you would be the only 2 for the job.
-
lmao @ kilo.
-
Oops forgot about mag and edge. :)
-
Actually you forgot about lots of people ;)
-
Lmao uni your a meddling stupid donkey. This "committee" is to help jits make up ban lengths. And as for the fact you even suggest GT members you should do kill yourself. Everyone they dislike will get a perm ban for nothing just like they do on the servers. This whole committee stuff is pointless. Jits has the final say no matter what not to mention this doesnt help the community AT ALL. So good luck with this bullexcrement LoL
-
It may not directly affect the community in quite a few decisions, it'll take quite a bit off jits which will help him. :P
At this point, the idea's already been decided on and it pretty much in swing, so trolling around in this thread isn't going to affect anything.

I'm sure some of the committee members with use there stand in the wrong way thats why i'd like jitspoe to have a little chat with the soon-to-be committee members, because if they all just target there enemys then it would just be a mess and more for jitspoe to deal with.

This is pretty much a last call for nominations. If the person you've nominated isn't on the list, you probably nominated multiple people or failed to follow the directions in the first post. Please clarify who you are nominating. If you are on the pending list, clearly state if you accept or decline your nomination, and do it quickly. Please do not vote or post other nonsense in this thread. It is strictly for nominations. I will create a poll with the nominees shortly.
Will Jitspoe be on this commitee automatically? Or do we have to nominate him in? If so, I nominate Jitspoe.
You've made more than one nomination. You need to clarify who you are actually nominating.
I nominate keegs, because i think he will have a positive solution to any problem the commitee may have :D
You already nominated Cameron. Are you changing your nomination?
:) i guess i vote scope
You've nominated superman and zombie as well. Pick one.

A simple "I accept" or "I decline" would be helpful. I'm not really sure which you did there, but I put you on the accepted list. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If there are any errors in my list, please correct them before I create the poll.

That's probably the worst reason to nominate someone.

Wussup Everyone,
I've been playing pball since q1 and been playing dp since it's creation in 98'. Alot of you oldschool DP'ers know me. My original handles was violent-j but i've been know as vj for a long long time. Regardless, I wanted to replay on behalf of jitspoe's question.
1. if a cheater is banned a widely shared network/computer a ban should not be lifted ( becuase chances are the same cheater will still try to be present, and cheat again).
2. If more than one acount is registered from the same computer i think that ther should be a limit. Some ppl especially old school pballers like to play under different names so as that they are not botherd. However, there are some who register several just to do so for no purpose what so ever. I don't think there really is a way you can monitor the amount of accounts registered.
3. If two different clans wish to have the same tag i think the approtiate way to deal withi this is to have the clan mathc each other for rights of the tag. Whichever clan loses forfiets their rights to the tag and choses an alternateive. ( i had to do the same thing back in the day when i had a clan with the cP tag and Prozak had the cP tag. I challenged them to a match for the rights and we lost, ultimately sacrificing rights for that specific tag. That's the only fare way to comprimise).
4. Two players may try to register the same name. but when they register the main code should be able to pick this up and not allow the same name used twcie if it is registered. That is an easy fix. All main websites that require login names use the same principles.
5. If a player is offended by another players random and sometimes excessive vulgarity what can you do?
No one like to see it repetivaely / but ultimately ppl are going to cuss in a mathc and or pub play / iand the average of ppl who complain are not the majority of DP players. If they don't liike it, they can go somewhere else. Or you can promote a language filter, and excessive language will kick a person. However, that has been implemented in the past and has only made excessive vulgarity more present. Your not going to eleminate the more immature DP player. Because it seems that now a days that, that is the majority of who is playing today.
6. A players old clan history should not be deleted. That players clan history is vital to his stauts and ranking in the DP community. If his or her status is deleted and he is allowed in another clan what is the point? His or her former status in other clans should be well known and acknowledge at time of recruiting and I am certain their former clan history has to do with a big part of recruiting. If you don't want other ppl to know who you are and what you done in the DP community then don't brag and use a different handle. I mean hell, if some of the retired greats flautned there names around don't you think that every clan out there would recruit them on reputation alone? A players previous rep shoudl not be held against him wether good or bad.
7. If any player is caught distributing or manufacturing any form of cheats, hacks, or anything of that nature should be sought out and band for life from DP. This game is all about peronsal skill and having fun with what the creators intended. Any cheaters should be proscetued with the maximum penalty which is life ban. That is the only way you will ever keep any form of cheats of the game. And servers should be regularly updated with code to detect such cheats.
8. If a players name is registered with coincidence, what can you do honestly? As long as you do not allow duplicates of actualy handles on DP there will always be wannabes. But we always know who everyone is and where they stand, and we can always tell the wanna be's apart. You cannot really stop that aspect.
Anyways, these are just my opinons on how these matters should be addressed as per jitpsoes original post. Being an avid DP player since 98' and still playing today. ( 12 at the time 21 now ) Things have changed since i've started. Ultimately jitpsoe has taken this great game of DP and made it into something amazing. A standolne version that everyone can enjoy. I think everony should honor the game and respect what the creators of the game had in mind from the get go. If anyone tries to hack cheat or whatever should be banned, no questons asked. This is one of the greatest q2 mods ever made and it's growth since 98' proves it. GL HF and GAME ON.
Respectfully,
vj ( you oldschool guys know i'm cool as excrement :) you new guys if you don't like what i have said F'you and find another mod to destroy and hack. Cuz this one isn't it. Later).
-
That's a very nice list of rules (really), but this is kinda entirely the wrong thread. Y00tz/KnacK/Jits, split please?
-
Thx Eiii for thanking so. I am not going for any nominations cuz honestly i don't think anyone would raelly vote for me. Even if ppl thought that my response to jits question was good, i do not have a reputation like some who still are in the DP comm. I was simply just expressing my thoughts on the question(s) that jits had asked. I think they are reasonable and maybe the best way(s) to deal with such problems. I didn't create this mod nor did I have any part in it's creation. I've simply played the game since it was created and always loved it. And you gotta realize there are always going to be a group of lamers and or immature ppl that are going to try to manipulate it and bring it down. DP a few years ago in my opinion was at it's funnest and best time. I still enjoy it, however i DO not enjoy some of it's company. But, I deal with it and keep playing. DP will always be one of the greatest mods ever made for q2 ( even though it may have not been recognized like it should ) and us players who have been playing since the beginning will always have that same feeling and same drive when we play. But, it's never going to be that way again, even though we wish it still was. DP has evolved into a HUGE mod since is EURO transiton and most of those guys are excretory openingS. Anyways, if you guys wanna vote for me go ahead, i was just simply trying to answer jit's questions as best as i could. Later ev1.

ps: disregard that "i am as cool as excrement quote" i was a little inhebriated that night and meant something different :). However it is still funny :). L8r all.

LOL. I'm sorry, i just realized this forum has a language ban. ( i'm sorry ) when you read excretory openings i meant a-s-s-h-o-l-e-s. :)

Try and use some spaces to split up your text :P. You made some points that wouldn't actually work very well. Want to make a dedicated thread to discuss them further?
-
