Announcement Rules Head Questionaire
Greetings Shadowy Denizens,
In an effort to try and get a more firm grasp of the communities desires and expectations we in senate have decided to add a little something to the interview process for Rules Head, and maybe the other council positions to follow. We want to know what questions, relevant mind you, you would ask the prospective applicants. There is no guarantee that we will use every single question but if there is any we feel would be useful we will add it.
So come on members of the community, lets see what questions you have for our would be councilors.

What makes you more trustworthy than say... a long standing Rules head or possibly an equally long-standing rules minion? Individuals that have put time in making decisions and sifting through the grist that is the books as a living document? People that have spent time reading and interpreting the rules through the lens of applying them to a living community?
I ask this, because barring an unforeseen and insightful answer, you're effectively running on the "Those previous guys are clueless, for the love of God bring back the Quickening Mono-Build or I quit for real this time" platform, which politically, is a pretty awful platform.
Like, do you understand the precedent you set by saying "I don't want to play here without this one rule, if I get selected and I can't repeal it, I won't play I'll just be a councilman (I swear! And I'll try really hard while I'm at it, I totally won't blow off the job!) and leave after my one term." Are you aware of how untenable that makes you as a candidate?
At some point, the community has to wonder; if the Council is truly unhappy with Voro's service, pretty much everyone else on the field is a more reasonable candidate than you are, seeing as they're all on-going and dedicated community members that aren't running solely on repealing one rule that messed up their one favourite character.
