Post by: Tbone on July 29, 2007, 02:40:40 am
Time to vote! Nominees, please feel free to promote yourself on this thread. It'd be nice to have a little speech of why you should be chosen or what you would plan to do when chosen.
I've decided to make this a closed ballot system. Please PM your vote to me. If you think I'm gonna cheat, you can PM it to both Broin and I. You have 48 hours to send in your vote! Good luck to everyone! Here are the nominees:
Anamodiel---Da6onet---ManicVelocity---Voltio

If I'm picked as the new Captain for the ship, crew members whom have not yet reach 50 would finally get to do so! I like to help others, and I'm usually farming for info in the construct Zero One, so that'll definitely benefit you (the crew member) and myself. I'm someone who likes to have fun, so, 50's prepare yourself 'cause you ain't being left behind. Nah-uh. If I'm captain, what I'll do is set up dates for those who need leveling and set dates for PvP time. Leveling and PvPing isn't the only thing I'll do. If you need abilities, clothing, etc, just let me know and it is yours. Whatever it is you want to do, don't hesitate to let me know. If there are any problems, again, do not hesitate to come to me and let me know what is on your mind.
If I'm picked as Captain the only thing I ask of you, is to behave yourselves during Live Events! I mean we wouldn't want to look silly with the "OMFG LOL GHOST WERES UR HARE!" We are a respectable faction afterall, and that kind of thing is a no-no. But you all know better and I have not seen such things from this Faction or any crew for that matter, so something tell's me I won't have to worry about that. If I'm selected then...Mojito para todo! Free Mojitos for everyone! ;)

Vote submitted.
I really have nothing to say on my behalf. I'm not very good at talking myself up. You all know me well enough. :)

I've had some experience with being in a leadership position before. In my experience there are two primary traits which make a good Captain. 1. Consistency 2. Patience
I'll admit I'm a stubborn person, I don't like to give up, toss in the towel, call it quits, etc. That said, while there may be times when I'm busy with school, work, or life in general, I will always make an effort to be there. In that regard, I am consistent.
I will also admit that I have lost my cool before, I have no patience for stupid, arrogant, or malevolent people. However, and Manic taught me this, /ignore is a beautiful thing, and it hasn't been a problem since.
Areas I will need to improve upon if I am chosen as a Captain is participating more with the LESIG and in general keeping up with the storyline.
I feel I've contributed to the faction and to the Matrix Online community and will continue to do so whether or not I am a Captain. I would be a liar though, if I said that I wouldn't have a bit more machismo and bravado being able to say I captain a ship for the Furious Angels ^_^
I will leave you with this video which depicts the character where I conjured up my alias (for those of you who haven't seen King Arthur.... lits!)

What would I do as Captain?
I wouldn't do or act much different. You all know how I act in game. I'll let that do the talking for me. It isn't like I'm going to go around boasting about being Captain. I'll probably still pick on Tecknik and Lits. I'll probably still laugh too much at everyone and everything everyone says. I'll probably still be the youngest person in the faction. I'll probably still be the patcher in PVP during large battles. I'll probably still suck as an MA.
Maybe I'll end up getting a little mature... but I won't make any promises.
The only promise I can make, however, is that I will stay active in this faction and within the Matrix for a very long time and uphold the Furious Angels' name.
