New Orion Fleet Leader


Recommended Posts

Pick one. You've got a week to sort this out or I will.

Use this thread for that discussion. btw, in order to be a fleet leader, you must have a web page to host it on. This means that at least one of your members should have a web page that you could dedicate to this, even if you [new leader] don't.

Levi,

Although ambition is a critical item in advancement in all military factions, Time In Grade is a mandatory item. Belonging to that faction is just as important. You fall woefully short in both categories, and I must, with all due respect, with hold my recommendation for you to become the Orion Fleet Leader.

I would, however, like to present a member who has both tenure and experience as a member of Galcom. He's been here from almost the start and has never shirked his duties to uphold the traditions and honor of this site. He's vocal, a participant on this forum, and has the respect that would be required to be Orion Fleet Leader. With that said, I proudly recommend Cmdr. Thomas Siemens be transferred from Wraith Fleet and take up the position of Orion Fleet Leader.

Now that I've said my 2 Cents worth, I'll leave it in the hands of those who are empowered to make that decision.

Thanks,

I'd like to second the motion of Thomas Seimens for Orion Fleet Commander.

I'd also like to add two other commanders to the list. Blades and Lynx. Both active and vocal as is Thomas.

Choices, choices.

Dang! Catch a plane and now look what happens. I have no objection towards Thomas being promoted but now one quasi-dumb question --- How the heck can Thomas become a Fleet Commander when in RP he (along with the rest of Wraith Fleet) is on the verge of annihilation?

Eeeep!

Is it right I just soiled myself after reading the contents of this thread?

I mean, are you serious? Me, a fleet leader?

Ok, without descending into chaos lets first discuss the validity of being recomended by an Insurgent. Hmmmm, suspect. wink.gif

Seriously though, thanks for the vote of confidence Charles, but I think both Thomas Seimens and Lynx are infinetly better suited for the role than I.

However, if the powers that be take leave of their senses,(And the rest of Orion fleet dont defect in protest) I'd be proud to lead.

Just think real carefully before doing anything rash, please. smile.gif

What can I possibly say to such a recommendation from you guys?

I would be honored, truly honored!

Let's just keep this open - if you guys want a more role playing aproach, I think no one can beat Cmdr. Blades, considering his contributions to this forum in the last weeks (months?).

Others, like Chavik (are Insurgents also invited to this?), Lynx, or Gallion qualify also, IMHO. I cannot objectively speak for myself here - Rattler, your recommendation leaves my kind of speechless (positive suprise, I think. I used to oppose you, more than once smile.gif)...

Regards,

Thomas (a.k.a. Gudihl)

Gallion in command of Orion.. god help us! wink.gif

I believe Lynx to be an excellent choice as well... dang! So many good people, only one command chair! :P

Good luck folks, whoever gets to be Orion Head Honcho pays the first drinks. Cheers!

Now u guys see why I'm staying out of it? You know more about yourselves that I do. I just want a new Orion fleet leader to put a new Orion site etc. Whatever happens in RP, is a different story.

So, once you guys have voted on it, let me know gets voted into office smile.gif

Commanders,

I'll offer an alternative to an open forum vote. I'd be happy to host a closed ballot vote, with the assistance of another veteran member as an impartial verifier. Once the nominees are confirmed, the actual vote could be handled confidentially through Email. All ballot Email addresses would have to match the profile address (IE registered voter). At the end of X days, the ballots would be tallied and the results sent to Derek who will announce the new Orion Fleet Leader.

Just a suggestion, that may open the voting door to those Commanders that are less vocal.

Okay,

At this point all we need to do is finalize some closure dates. There are 2 confirmed indivduals who have been nominated and accepted the nomination (Gudihl & Blades). We can either wait for more or fly with these two. Since Derek requested sorting this out in a week, I suggest closing the nominations tomorrow (10/6 - Midnight), at which time we can open the voting and be finished by Saturday 10/9 Midnight. The new Orion Fleet Leader would be announced on Sunday 10/10.

As for the verifier, Rattler posted first, so if he declines, William will fill the position.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

I'll verify if you want me. I agree though, if someone knows anyone in Orion Fleet, they should be contacted. Only fair thing to do IMHO. I just know that we need to get this done and over with soon. Somebody's got to get that fleet back out on patrol! smile.gif

Whoa, miss a couple of days and you never know what you're gonna find when you get back. I think I've caught up with the gist of what's goning, so...

First, I'd like to thank those who suggested I be considered. While it would be an honor, being Orion Fleet Commander would be a responsibility I could not give the attention it deserves, therefore, I must respectfully decline.

I think Thomas and Blades would both be fine choices.

Additionally, I would like to throw Mano Faber's name into the ring, if he's interested. I think the GALCOM ACADEMY he and Andrew Vogel maintain demonstrate not only a high level of commitment to BC3K, but the organizational skills needed in a Fleet Commander (if actual roleplay is not a required prerequisite). Of course, whether it is something he would like to do is up to him.

- - - - -

The voting plan sounds fine. I suspect the SC would readily extend the deadline so you could leave nominations open a bit longer and have the balloting over the weekend since you have pretty much sorted it out procedures-wise. I don't know what the site traffic stats look like, but would guess that numerous members don't get a chance to visit until the weekends.

Just wonderin . . . .

Is there any progress on determining who else is in contention for the hallowed prize of Fleet Commander? And if there is, where would one cast a vote and when?

Details details ! smile.gif
