User:Gaz Lloyd
Support - 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - When working with him on the Wikifests, I assigned him the job of controlling the CC; a job I didn't even trust myself with. I can't see any reason not to support. 14:16, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Calm and friendly, did a great job as the wikifest cc controller. Id support him just to have him as a moderator for events. His high stats help, especially in PvM where some other candidates for the team wouldn't survive long enough to be of any help as a moderator. Im sure he would be very capable of organising events too ofcourse. - 15:31, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - People this level-headed and calm, helpful, and active are rare and would be an asset. 21:48, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per above. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Great all-rounder. 22:49, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

User:XxXxGradiusheroxXxX
Neutral, Leaning towards Support - Even though he has experience in leading large teams in PvMs, my issue with Warthog is his anger, he often lashes out and rages making it difficult to work with him. However, if he were to prove he could control his anger, I would support.

Support - I think your experience with PvM/ bossing would be invaluable. You have also shown the ability to organise events such as your Wiki-God Wars Dungeon trips. - 13:31, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

S. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I'm somewhat concerned about anger/leaving the project. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to say, I would never leave the project on an anger based grounds (Unless I was kicked out). I would only leave if I felt that I wouldn't be able to maintain activity within the game. Even if it were to come to that, I would make a formal warning to the rest of the events team so they can decide what to do about the open spot. 01:44, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Support - We need people with experience. 00:27, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Can I just say about my anger, I do get angry and I won't turn around and lie and make up very bureaucratic excuses about me never getting angry, because that would be a lie. I feel that I can control my anger in situations, and quite frankly, after most of my outbursts, I do actually just stop and request whoever I'm conflicting with to take it to a talk page or take it to ingame pm. 01:44, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Urbancowgurl777
Support - You say you have experience with organising clans, which would be of great use, 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify myself, as I'm still easing into the RS Wikia community and only a handful of people really know me, I was Scheduler/Cape event runner/Cape event creator for the Caped Carousers for nearly a year. I managed the schedule (deciding who can run events, when, where, etc) and created the special weekend events. (: 15:09, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

S. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Good editor, but not community integrated. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Has proven ties with community, whether it is ours or not. Appears to have great experience as well. 00:28, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Swizzl3d
Strong support - You are already in the RS:IFC and RS:CE. You also played a major role in theWhen it inter-fansite tournament a little while ago and are currently organizing another inter-fansite event. I think you're just the person to help start up the Events team. Im just concerned about you and brains clashing if both of you are chosen... - 12:51, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - My understanding is that the fansite tournaments went over quite well. He's also worked on several Wikifests, so he's obviously qualified. 14:16, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

S. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Born to do events. 21:46, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Support - Best candidate out here. Per above. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... Let me think...Support. 22:50, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Weaker support - Yes, I have had small disagreements with Swizz in the past, but he is not perfect (Is anyone?) and has been shown to be biased and disliking specific groups of people (mainly Australians), I am hoping this won't affect our share of events, as a result my support is given, albeit weaker. 00:31, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Thebrains222
Oppose - The idea of this proposal is to work as a team. However it would be difficult to work with Brains because a majority of the people on this list are in a completely difficult timezone. Also, I know that this has been bought up over and over again but he can complicate things and sometimes doesn't know what he's doing, for example when he tried to start the SC event against RHQ he bought the proposal to the Site Mod instead of the RHQ Events Team, who then later passed the proposal onto me to organise. 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was told to speak to him by RuneHQ's members in their Clan Chat. Do I look lost and not knowing what I am doing, any other (better) examples you can present? Also, I cannot change my timezone, and that is an incredibly poor reason to base an oppose on. 00:06, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

O. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't feel that Brains is ready for this. Per Swiz. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

User:Real Not Pure
Neutral - Good editor, smart, but not all that well known or community integrated. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know arguing is a bit pointless here, but I do spend a lot of time in the CC, and I'd actually say I take more time in tthe community than I do on-wiki. 23:06, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I have seen you around, but as said above, you are not that well known by much of the community. I feel it is important that the community has an good idea of whom is planning their events. 00:34, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Matthew2602
Oppose - I've never seen you at event, nor help organise one so I'm unsure as to your credentials as an Events Team members. 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

O. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Swiz. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Swizz. 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Sorry Matt, per Swizz. 00:34, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Stelercus
Slight Support - It would be good to get a F2P'er in there to give F2P a voice but your activeness is an issue. 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to set a precedent of reacting to every slightly negative comment, but I don't know what you're talking about when you say I'm anything that resembles inactive. If you view my contributions, you will see that I edit obsessively. 14:09, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Organised a wikifest and it ran smoothly. 'nuff said. - 13:31, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

S. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Steler is a good guy, but I don't think he has time for anything else on his plate. I've seen how some of his other projects have gone. It's not personal, he just doesn't have time to devote to this I don't think.

Pending - You do a great job with the Wikifests, and you're a brilliant editor, but with all that, do you have time to be on the ET? 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Ran countless Wikifests. Will provide highly useful experience for the team. 00:35, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Pharos 5
Neutral - You have some good, original ideas which is what we want, but time difference could again be a problem. 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Per Swiz. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Laying time difference aside, you are very creative. Exactly what's needed. 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Creative and funny. And opposing someone based on their timezone is utter crap, there is no rush, and a few hours won't change anything. 00:36, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not holding him back because of his timezone. But because when he is online most on this list are asleep and we wont be able to get any thing done. Would you rather us all have shitty events than you getting in the events team for the lols? 10:07, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Sentra246
Slight Oppose - Although you're in the IFC and CE you haven't really done much, and with the others, time might be a problem.
 * I'd just like to point out that different timezones = different event times = more events specified for people all over the world. (: 18:38, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - I think Sentra would be good for this as long as he gets involved, considering he's one of our most prominent Australian members. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Halo.

Neutral - He hasn't done much, but there's potential.  00:37, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:I am not vot, I am Melon!
S. 21:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * When another user has voted in your favor, it's assumed that a blank comment is "per" the others who have voted that way. In this case, as nobody else has voted, we can't do much with a simple "S". 21:35, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that it's my business, but what about Swizz's support on Gaz's section? vOv 21:44, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because I think he would fill the role nicely. People lie in votes here all the time because they're friends with someone, or because they've a grudge. Support is support. 21:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * @Harle, because of RS:C, a support by itself is insufficient to be counted. Now that you've provided some reasons (first sentence), it works. @Melon, I guess I didn't notice. I will blame this on the fact that I have somewhere between 20/150 and 20/200 vision, even though that's almost completely irrelevant. 22:25, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a silly policy stipulation. 22:35, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * No it's not. Consensus says that we don't count votes, we weigh the arguments. All you provided as a vote without an argument attached, giving us nothing to weigh. While I'm not doubting that you have reasons, without providing them, it's as if you said "Support - Because I feel like it," which wouldn't be given any weight at all. See also this (Consensus, the method used to make wiki-wide binding decisions [...] onset of mob rule.) 02:54, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Melon is a fun-loving guy, and he is almost always online and in the Chat, so why not allow him to help with our new events?--Scimitar77 21:35, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose  - I don't think Melon is appropriate for this. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * In the past few days Melon has shown me that he is able to be agreeable and take things seriously when need be, as such I now Support him.  00:32, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I'm not trying to argue Halo's oppose or anything at all like that, I just want to make a point about why I'm actually interested in the events team. I want to become more involved with the Runescape Wiki Community but I'm really not much of an editor or anything and I feel like I could use this as a way to achieve a closer tie to the site community. Besides that, I do enjoy events, even though I've been to only one Wikifest. I enjoyed it a lot, and I had some ideas and criticisms to modify both the activities, and the structure to how it was run. Additionally, I have tried taking it upon myself to start some regular activities in the past, notably a Castle wars team but admittedly, it did fall apart soon after it started. I think that the events team could be a way to engage the community in a better way. Thanks. 22:56, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I have mixed opinions on Melon, as well as hearing mixed opinions. As such, I am undecided. 00:39, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Floppyc5
Support - I'd like to know how active you are, but other than that you're usually up for most events and have some decent ideas. 13:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I haven't even heard of you...so I guess I'd be worried about community integration. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope I'm not wrong in saying he is Adianoeta. 23:01, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looked at his userpage, he's Adian apparently. 00:10, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Pending - Depending on how community-active you become over the next couple of days. 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Neutral - You're in the CC sometimes, but I dunno if you're there often enough to be involved in the ET. 00:10, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Who? 00:40, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Raging bull
Support - Experienced, online at similar times to most of the above. 13:20, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - Per Swiz. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Very community-wise, helpful, friendly... 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Weak support - Again, I'm not quite sure what he has done. 00:41, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

User:Scimitar77
Support - He really wants to become more involved with the Wiki community as a whole, has done fun userspace-based stuff (not necessarily events related, but evidence he has good ideas and likes to have a little fun!) and is generally pleasant and easy to get along with. 21:30, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - I think Yoda is a good guy, but dunno if he's ready for this. 21:58, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Creativity is what's needed. 22:59, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - Per Halo. 00:42, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
