[@Write] [@NarayanK] [@Lucius Cypher] [@Lugubrious]

If we're voicing opinions here, then I figure it's my civic duty to weigh in.

I've been playing RPs like this for just shy of a decade, on this site and on others. I once tried to tally up how many games I had played in that time and I got up past forty before I realized that there was no way to remember [i]all[/i] of them. I have GMed or Co-GMed almost half of them. I presently help run a game that has lasted for more than ten years, four of which I have been staff for, one that is entering its fifth year, and another finishing its second. I have been playing RWBY games on Guild so long that the only people I recognize from way back then are Lucius and Kaithas, more than three years ago. Kaithas isn't all that much more active, and Lucius is mellower without Irish Tree and Sixsmith to play off of, but they're pretty easy to recognize.

Normally I might put my hat in the ring, but I don't have the time and I don't have the desire. Part of the reason that I enjoy this game so much is that I get to just [i]play[/i]. No executive responsibilities.

But I rattle all of those credentials off (credentials that half a dozen of the people in this game can verify) so that when I comment on the options you (plural you) understand that it is with a not insubstantial amount of experience. I couldn't support Write or Nara more wholeheartedly as options for another co-GM.

Both, more often than not, are the voices of reason in occasionally rather heated debates. Write in particular excels at being diplomatic, though he (as usual) tries to undersell himself. The controversies that he claims seem to follow him rarely are any fault of his own, and he is always quick to try and resolve them. He is active, he stays up-to-date with most of the happenings in the game, and he has a level head squarely on his shoulders.

I'd support Nara for many of the same reasons. He's quite active, he is well-liked by literally everyone, and he is an excellent voice of reason when arguments are occurring.

Both would be ideal choices.

I wouldn't nominate Lucius for many of the same reasons I wouldn't nominate myself; he is frequently one of the belligerent parties in debates that occur. That in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. As I said, that is one of the reasons that I wouldn't put my own name forward. But by his own admission arguments over Gren's cybernetic are likely to crop up, and his sense of humor can be misinterpreted rather easily to lead to arguments like we saw only a few days ago. No offense to you, Lucius, but I would much rather support a new co-GM that is not likely to be the [i]cause[/i] of any controversy. You are rather good at being the voice of reason yourself, but that only really counts when you're not one of the parties you're trying to bridge the gap between.

Just my two cents on the matter.
