I am nominating Peiper as well.
He has great ideas, and is open minded enough to listen and integrate other ideas.

I also nominate Zyllos as a person who has great ideas, and openness.

Lastly I nominate Goose Igaly as he has helped many a beginner player, and is a great mediator.

I vote for Koniving, Homeless Bill, wanderer, Rasc4l and adiuvo. However, if you are going to allow the banned, Sandpit and VictorMorson.

I love Rasc4l's idea though it's a shame they won't consider it.

Koniving has many videos where he talks about where he would like to see balancing go and videos on bugs and hitbox issues.

Back when I used to lurk the forums, I always see wanderer getting into discussions with other players over whichever issue was happening at that time. I see that he also has wonderful ideas. The same with Sandpit though he can get trolly. While I don't always agree with Sandpit's posts, they are well written and constructive (when he's not trolling).

Adiuvo is one of the most marvelous light player I have seen.

Now for that last nomination (and I believe I'll be receiving lots flak for even mentioning him), well, he does have good ideas as with the rest of the nominees. But importantly, he can provide views from the opposition.

Koniving
CarrionCrows
Audivo
Prosperity Parks
Peiper
Strum Wealh
Roland
BladeSprint
Homeless Bill

Would be the group I would like to see working on the ECM issue. Multiple perspective, yet all have consistently contributed insightful and well reasoned posts, even if I often disagree with them.

For the sake of contribution, it would depend of your definition of "PUG". I see it as not just a solo player only dropping in that queue, but also someone who might be in a small group, that drops together on a CASUAL basis, not being fixated on the TEAM game.

Someone like me.

But not, for all the earlier reasons I stated. That, and no one asked. OH, and i would be violating my clubs primary and solemn vow of laziness.

It is harder to find vocal puggers maybe as they eventually gravite to at least a casual unit.

Who is a vocal and respected PUG only player?


DaZur comes to mind.

I haven't seen an idea by Homeless Bill that I didn't like, so he's got my vote.

I'd also like to mention Carl Avery. Excellent people skills, organized, extremely lore centric, and a fairly competent leader when it comes to running Stock Mech Mondays.

I said it before and I'll say it again...Glen Bateman, Stu Redman, Ralph Brentner, Frannie Goldsmith, Susan Stern, Nick Andros and Larry Underwood are the only logical choices.

This entire council Idea is stupid.

You are all jack-asses and not a single one of you should be in a position to "represent" the community as a whole.

The more this thread developed, the more I agree with this.

First of all i don't think we should vote for banned as long as their bans aren't taken back.

As for nominations:

1) Adiuvo
2) Jager
3) Kon
4) Homless Bill


Just a general questions to the moderators: This thing is going out of hands if everyone is creating new threads about it left and right. Could a moderator create (and sticky) 1 or 2 threads that contain all information?

Does that mean they actually understand the game, gaming mechanics, balance, and development process tho?

Actually... heck, I can't believe no one has put you on the list. (Or I missed it if they did)

But you would be a more useful contributor than me, that's for dang sure.

Also your point on how one comports themselves, both in attitude, and language, is indeed important. One of the reasons I see no point in Sandpit or Roadbeer is the simple fact that I know there can be no civil dialogue between them and Russ at this point. And I doubt I could trust Vass to, either, TBH. (Heck, Roadbeer has openly mad it his life's goal to bring PGI down..yeah that would be a great addition.)


Alas, I'm past my prime :-)

Back before the game launched the Friends and Family Beta, I had much more time to contribute. The Open Beta launch party in San Francisco was fun when I got to meet Bryan Ekman and Russ Bullock, and spend time talking to them one-on-one during the event. They're nice guys in the flesh.

But since I've gotten more responsibilities lately, I haven't the free time I used to. I remember when ECM first came out, before the Host-State-Rewind calculations were performed to determine if you hit a fast-moving target. I remember when BAP and PPCs first caused an anti-ECM effect... it would be nice to have a bit more involvement with the game nowadays, though.

*******

My ideas around ECM largely focus on the notion that the current in-game implementation of Guardian ECM actually mirrors the TT-rendition of Angel ECM. The Developers could restrict the Angel-ECM capable Mechs to those who have access to the so-called "Guardian ECM" in the current game build, and let any Mech mount a real Guardian ECM. It wouldn't cloak nearby units, it wouldn't outright prevent a missile lock, but it would have some nice effects for those who mount it. It should be as proliferative as BAP, yet no more useful on a tactical scale.

Need more then 5. Either 10 or 12.

5 is not enough.

And these 10 or 15 players must talk each other in person on a meeting. Not only digital posting or e-mailing.
And lastly: it's a ALOT of extra work being a member of the council, where are you going to get that extra time? And how are you going to communicate through the community itself?

Basically your taking the lead designer it's job. So what's the use if he does not listen at all? Then your council means nothing.

Although i like the idea.
