I actually read that website link and even asked you about it,
two weeks ago. I get that you seem to be using the previously established format, I'm just suggesting that the format is convoluted.
I am not trying to give you a hard time, I get that you too are a volunteer. I just personally was really put off by some of the 18.7 changes and the seemingly lack of consideration given to player feedback regarding the game. I believe I saw someplace that Michi plans to utilize the program (hopefully better than his predecessors) so it would be nice if we got people in the roles that not only have the knowledge but also the desire to truly make these volunteer positions shine. It seems, to me at least, that the process you have in place isn't conducive to helping you guys find the type of people you need.
I'm on the forums a lot and I talk to almost anyone in game, regardless of faction/level/experience. If I am having trouble coming up with decent nominees.. I'd imagine I am not alone. Heck, most people I talked to about the Professional Nominations didn't even know they were happening.
