A Singular Idea

I like that idea a lot. Maybe we could also add activity levels, so that way none of the cabin leaders die out (Like they always do). It seems that people are always voting for the users that they like best. I normally vote for whoever I know will do a good job as a cabin leader (often the previous cabin leader, or someone who is very active in rping)

I'm pretty sure this was talked about in the last elections, but it just... part of the elections do need to be based on who the user is, because someone could spend a lot of time making themselves sound good in their apps, then it turns out, they're not very active, or untrustworthy, etc. I like the idea, because some people we trust turn out to not be very good CL's, but then there's also the fact that someone horrible for the position with a good app could get selected if you don't know who it is.

Not to mention, we JUST changed the way elections were done last election. Tbh I don't think they went that badly at all. Of course, I might be biased because I'm a CL, but, imo, the person controlling the character is more important than the character itself running. If they're not competent leaders then we have a problem.

I think our issue currently is activity level, and more or less what to do about the cabins with no leaders. Not the way they're elected, per se.

Although it's about the characters too, but the person is also important. What if someone is elected and they were a new member with no real intention of staying for long? What if that person is not the most responsible? What if that person happens to be someone that you wouldn't trust to be able to track ip addresses and control posts?

Completely blocking the player out isn't the best choice, as ideas come from the person behind the character. Not the character.

I like the idea. it's good and bad because if someone goes inactive or something like that then there's basically no cabin leader. or what nico said how they can be horrible. Yet it is a good idea because some people might vote on the player, not the characters app c

It seems that sometimes the votes are random, as opposed to who will do a good job as cabin leader or not. Maybe we could add a pop up tab that would annoy people to think about their votes before they randomly select someone. We should also have an age limit, so you have to be at least 12 or 13 to run for cabin leader.

No age limits. Age doesn't define maturity. Tabs would require javascript and the forums don't read javascript. Also, voting 100% on character may not be an honest idea either. Some people could make their application completely different from what their character is really like, which just defies the point. If we know the person, they can't change who they are for the duration we have known them just to be cabin leader and then completely change after they win or something.

I agree that age doesn't define maturity, but that doesn't mean that it is a good idea to have a 7 year old as a cabin leader!

I also think that there are flaws in this plan (something that I did not think over before I posted), and that it might be easier if we did not modify the elections for this term, but these are just suggestions to think over.

I think that there are too many people not happy with this to continue.
