A Call for DMs!

[FunkySwerve]

We have need of one or more DMs. As always, we will make our final selection from player nominees.

Rules for nominations:
1) You may not nominate yourself.
2) You may praise your picks, but not criticize other people's picks.
3) Feel free to second nominations, but they won't carry any weight unless you give reasons. This is not a vote, it's a nomination process.

Nominations will remain open at least a week.

We look for helpfulness to other players, knowledge of the server, knowledge of game mechanics, judgment, fairness, diplomatic/conflict resolution skills, time spent on servers every day, and other qualities useful in a DM. Bear these considerations in mind in making your nominations.

Being a DM on HG is more about service than it is about power. You wind up giving up a chunk of your playtime to helping others, with not much to show for it, other than the ability fix things gone awry.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I nominate TheRajah.
He knows more about the game (from player perspective) than anyone currently playing.

I second this nomination. Raj is an exceptional player and would be a huge asset to the DM team due to his vast knowledge of not only Nwn but also the HG database.

I would also like to nominate Outkast due to his activeness, his knowledge of HG, and also his integration with virtually every social group on HG.

[LordKas]

I nominate TheRajah too, because he's able to explain complicated stuff also to people who don't understand anything of NWN

[TJ]

I’d like to nominate Outkast. Online often, knowledgeable, and always willing to help people out.

[Raj]

One more vote to Louis/Corey/Outkast/TheOldNerdWithADrill, he's often online, is incredibly old and managed not to end on anybody wrong list in all this time. Except on mine for some weeks but that's a badge of honor.

Not really playing these days, but...

1) Obligatory nomination for TheRajah; our favourite drug dealer.

2) Outkast/Louisvilleslugger; for the reasons already mentioned by others.

3) Drunkenboaster; for the same reasons as Outkast.

I'd like to nominate TrueFalse and Manuka. They play a lot and on different hours than many of the current DM's.

If either of them is up for the task to help the community by giving some of their time to help others out. Both have proven to dedicate lots of hours to the server, being DM would give them an opportunity to give something back for us all.

Personally I also give a bonus for multiboxers as they can log in as DM on other servers to help others while still somewhat contribute to the runs they are currently on. I've in past been on runs that have "taken a pause" while DM assistance is required elsewhere. Of course it wouldn't give 100% effectiveness on either one, but in a small community it is better than the alternative imho.

Neither one have shown to me being a **** or otherwise problematic individual, even tho I dont have that much of an experience of playing/chatting either one of them.

I second Outkast/Louisvilleslugger. To expand on the reasons given by others, I've found him online in all ranges of levels and runs, even in lowbie areas, and I think that helps his approachability for all players. He has always been helpful when I've asked him for suggestions and I find him to be an honest player.

I also second TheRajah because I've seen numerous helpful posts in the chat, newbie list, in the forums and elsewhere. He's vocal and analytical of problems with the server. I believe he already spends a lot of energy in promotion of the server.

[Werehound Silverfang]

I will throw my hat in for Drunkenboaster and Outkast/Louisvilleslugger. Both are very knowledgeable, I don't believe I've ever seen them treat another player badly, and they've always been so willing to help.

Drunkenboaster / Outkast / Raj

[Deleted]

woqued - brings a lot to the table with his game knowledge, is level-headed, and has provided much well-thought out feedback for how to improve the server. May not play as much as the other nominations but I think he's still a strong candidate.

Xiayu - same reasons as above. Also has a very long history with the server. For what it's worth; regarding activity: I believe she was strongly considered as a candidate in a couple rounds ago but not favored due to inactivity that unfortunately coincides with the nomination timing. Many players have cyclical playing phases and although she might not be as active playing now she has certainly been active within the past year and I can see her to continue to be a valuable asset to the server in the future.

Raj/Outkast/Tru

[gladi8or]

I recommend Paradoom, Outcast and DrunkenBoaster.

[rainbowdash]

i suggest deafking/Yrini, hes often online helps out a lot in !newbie and !chat and dunno wouldnt hurt the HC community to have a DM too. I don't really know the guy but he seems nice.

Well and the often mentioned Raj/Outcast
