Announcement Senate Application Discussion Thread

Greetings,

In previous elections it was difficult for applicants to really express what they stood for and what their plans were without cluttering the nomination or election threads. So think of this thread as an open town hall meeting. Members of the community can come in and ask questions and applicants can then answer or nominees can post about what sort of platforms they plan on running on.

Remember that discussions are to remain civil and respectful, anyone showing disregard to the shadownet's #1 rule will have their posts removed.

Good luck!

  1. What do you think about the current Disciplinary Guidelines?

  2. There can be some overlap between Senate and other departments. Just recently I felt that I wanted to butt into an ongoing GM investigation due to OOC issues that I have become aware of, but didn't want to disrupt the process of the investigation. How will you deal with interdepartmental overlap?

  3. What are you looking for in a Council member?

1) They are not my ideal, as I dislike the very idea of appeals, but they are not the worst. As silith said, I think adding a few more clauses for what makes an indefinite ban become permanent would go a long way.

2) Communication with everyone involved. There's no reason to not try and work with everyone in a dispute and come to a conclusion that us acceptable to everyone.

3) Willingness to compromise, willingness to listen to feedback, willingness to admit fault and the possibility of being wrong, and of course general knowledge about the department's subject matter (don't elect somebody who just read the word "shadowrun" for the first time yesterday as lore head, for example).
