For such an important poll that would be in the interest of more than just the RPC RPers, to basically deny them the right to have their say damages the legitimacy of this whole endeavor.(07-01-2013, 08:11 PM)Asyria Wrote: The reason membership was closed is to prevent people from joining just to vote and alter the votes of people who have been showing some degree of interest and participation in the community so far.
I understand the reasoning behind closing off registration, but at the same time I think it was somewhat of a foul move, since I don't recall there being any warning that registration would be suspended.
Doing that basically makes this an in house RPC only vote which doesn't take into account anyone else in the "RP community" that this actually supposed to be creating. I'm pretty sure anyone could have told you that Gilgamesh was the RPC favorite going into this, but outside of RPC, on the Beta forums where the rest of the community lies, Gilgamesh wasn't nearly as popular.
Not being able to register has effectively cut off all but two members of my Free Company from voting. That's 20 something votes.
If there was warning of some sort issued, than I retract this statement as it would simply have been my inattentiveness at work and my inability to tell my FC members to register early to ensure their vote.
If there wasn't any warning, though, then I have to cry foul.
If the intended community was purposely supposed to represent the RPC and not any of the members that work outside of it, then have at it. If your intent was to reach ALL RPers though, and not just members of the club, then I think you went about this wrong.
I think at this point, its you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. No one is going to please everybody, it's too difficult and too stressful imo. Everyone should just relax, and step back and understand both sides and position. No one has it easy here, no one. And far as I'm concerned, until I have A LOT more information to go with, I'm riding out the storm. I do have alot of events and storylines in my mind, on top of doing raiding, PVE and setting up to prepare all new folks some help as need be, while still learning everything myself. That's what I'm looking forward to on Balmung or wherever. So relax, think of Rydia or Balthier or... I dunno this guy
