RuneScape:Events Team/Requests/Archive 2

Scimitar77 (A Pro Person, Yodapen6)
I believe I would be a good candidate for the Events Team. I have on several occasions helped Pharos with events on short notice, am quite available (I'm generally on for 6-9 hours in the evenings into the morning) And I have had a long history and lots of experience with the Wiki. I would love to become more involved in the community, and have wanted to be part of the team since the beginning. Also, I forgot to add, I have experience with most bosses and minigames (excluding sara, arma, nex, and DKS, but I'd be willing to go out and learn for the sake of the team, as I can access arma and DKS already) I have experience tanking zammy and graardor, I've done all PvP minigames, and I have fair knowledge of Corp. I feel I'm most lacking in my Agility, which prevents me from (at the moment) reaching Nex and Sara. However, I could train it. Thanks, -- 05:30, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Seen you helping before, excellent candidate. 05:44, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per Brains. Go right ahead. 05:54, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per above. Floppyc5 06:17, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Not sure if two Treasure Trails counts as several occasions but sure, whatever you say :P Overall, a good candidate. - 06:25, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Comment - Two Treasure Trails more than most people :D-- 06:32, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per all 10:31, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Yoda would be a good member for this position. Wicid13 18:45, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support - One Word: Dedication. 04:32, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Support - He's always there, ready to do something. 23:00, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Sapport - Per all. Plus, he let me troll his request for haloolah123's dictatorship. :B 16:49, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per all of the above. 17:50, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Support - I have my reasons. 01:12, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not very convincing. 04:10, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support - You are the one who has introduced me to RS, and taught me just about everything i know in it. You would make a great leader. --Badmuffins 15:49, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per all. Good guy, capable, trusted enough. I would be happy to work with you. 15:59, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Someone who has opennly expressed their desire to help the community from day one of joining, Yoda will, hopefully, rejuvenate the ET. He told me a few months ago that he wants to get back into the heart of the Wiki and is willing to work hard to do so. 20:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Support - After getting to know him a bit in our irc channel, I like 'em. He's knowledgeable about RuneScape and is a nice guy. 03:38, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Closed - Yoda will join the events team. 01:29, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Coaster4321 Withdrawn
I Try to be active all the time. I work to my best ability. I am trustworthy. I try to make events a lot of times. When I can. But only been able to host one on Community Events Yet no one came for an odd reason. I would always be able to attempt to go to meetings, Inform if I am unable to attend things. I have open schedule. I am usually on alot of the day on the computer. So its easy to reach me. Only thing is At certain times I go inactive for a month or 2. Usually its because I fall out of interest with rs or ran out of RS membership. But when I get it back. I come right back. Usually its max 2 months but its usually really fast.

To tell the truth I am not sure if I can make it. But I am willing to try my hardest! -- 01:43, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Comment - You don't seem very sure of yourself. If you're going to be taking 2-month long breaks, perhaps this isn't the right time for you to apply. 22:22, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Reply - Actually I was explaining what did happen before maybe I did not word it right. I shouldn't be taking breaks from it anymore actually. But yes I do admit it did happen twice... I am just afraid that people will think wrong of me. I try to be as truthful as I can. I should not be going inactive for at least a year from now. Because i plan on keeping up to date. I think I won't be going inactive for quite a while... If I do. I shall inform you about it. Before i leave. So that you can find a new member... If I do become a member of ET. :) 16:27, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Although you've made many contributions to the wiki, I have to oppose due to the following: If you can work on these issues, then I'm sure the ET would be delighted to have you, so maybe try again some other time. :) 15:02, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * While you say you won't be inactive for at least another year, you say that you fall inactive due to a loss of interest or membership, which you cannot fully control.
 * You seem to lack attention to detail, as shown in your incorrect reversion of other's work and wrongful warnings giving to other editors, which was also partially due to not assuming good faith.
 * You also seem to have slight issues with communication and getting your point across, which is even displayed in your above request, where you chose to use broken english and rather bad grammar.
 * Also, your relatively low stats would make it impossible for you to attend most boss events, such as Nex or the Corporeal Beast, which occurr at fairly regular intervals (Although, being a noob myself, I can't say much).
 * You need to intergrate yourself into the community more, as currently not that many people know much about you.

20:02, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * reply - I guess i should agree.. But the one problem is. Although typing is not a problem. Not as an excuse i may have problems with social skills.. I have ADHD and aspergers. But that does not limit me in my mind. I shall work on what you said. For now I shall withdraw my request. I think i am not just yet ready yet. I am quite active in IRC though... But maybe I should work on other stuff then that... Thankyou for the advise... Maybe next time

Closed - Withdrawn. 06:15, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

man 4 dicing (rs name)
i think the position is a good way to meet people and help them. i am a fanatic mingames player and a boss sometimes is great for the change. and i can be trusted ask my clanmates. and lending stuff is no problem.

Oppose - Never seen you.--Badmuffins 20:36, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - You're relatively unknown right now, leave it a few months and integrate yourself within the community and you will have a chance. 20:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - I have a grudge against dicers... oh sorry, who are you? 05:08, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Let more people get to know you first. Maybe try and attend a few more events, or at least make your second edit, before trying out for the position. :) 11:49, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Get to know the community before trying to take such a position.-- 21:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Range kingrj
I believe that i would be agood choice for the Wiki ET because I am an active member or the wiki community, (although i have been absent for some weeks) I am familiar with most runescape mini-games and distractions/diversions (even the ones in which i cant participate) and I enjoy watching others suffer... wait! I mean I enjoy interacting with other players... but not bots, trolls or general *** holes. thanks very much.

P.S me and a friend also have a youtube channel, check it out VERPA217Waylonn I think you should choose me because I <3 the bible

Strong Oppose / Comment - I don't exactly know you. You may have been a member for a while. But I don't really see a lot of activity. Try to get more involved in the community. I know I am currently working on this problem myself.. Have you been to the wiki events? Have you been help managing some? Did you host any events? I am not trying to sound mean.

Oppose - Who are you...? Floppyc5 02:27, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Floppy. 03:43, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - You need to integrate yourself more into the community before seeking nomination for a position like this. Maybe attend some more events, or make some more contributions? Let people get to know you a bit first, and we'd be happy for you to try again next time. 11:44, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Try again when you've become a bit more well known in the community.-- 21:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Closed - No consensus. 09:22, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wicid13
I think that I would be a good member for the wiki's events team. Although my stats aren't very great, I am very familiar with almost all bosses (even though I couldn't tank most of them) and I am able to attend almost all of the wiki's events. I am also (at least somewhat) trustworthy; I returned an Armadyl Chestplate that Haloolah123 lent to me (not borrowed, he just gave it to me) after the wiki's Armadyl event. Wicid13 18:50, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Weak Support - You're a great guy and an active member of the community, but I don't know if this is the right position for you.-- 05:58, June 26, 2011 (UTC) Oppose - Seeing this evidence from Pharos, as well as things I've picked up myself, has led me to change my mind. I just don't think you're ready for this.-- 21:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

 Strong Weak oppose - Attitude. - 06:25, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate a little bit on what's wrong with my attitude? Wicid13 18:44, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, from what I've seen of you in the cc you appear to be rude and quite easy to anger. And as I recall, during the dungeons event you were so annoyed at me killing you (you know, my job...) that you started swearing at me and said you wished that I had lost all my stuff to melon? And then at the end of the event i found you flaming the winners of the last round, cant remember what for but i think it was because they didnt share with you and you helped them. However, that was a while ago and I haven't seen you recently meaning I can't tell if you've changed much, so judging by the other supports im changing that to weak oppose. - 14:53, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're right about the Dungeon of Doom part, I was a little annoyed. But flaming the winners of the last round? The winner of the round before I won was actually flaming me for not sharing with him even though he thought he helped me. Wicid13 15:21, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Good and responsible. He would make an ideal member of the ET. 01:29, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Shown up to many events, good guy, don't see why not. 15:56, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Someone easy to work with and with the community at heart. 20:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose for now - Your conduct when you are crossed (getting scammed or during the TT event) kinda scares me.. Perhaps if I got to know you better.. 19:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Wicid's a cool enough guy but I feel that he sometimes doesn't know when to put his serious cap on. With some events not always going according to plan I think this is something of a liability. 20:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Closed - Wicid will not be joining the Events Team at this time. 09:22, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Floppyc5(RSN: Adianoeta/Jamais Vu)
I believe that I'd be a great addition to the Events Team. I am available quite often for events and spend much time in both the CC and FC. I have alot of experiance with all bosses (exceptions being Nex and Dagonnoth Kings.) I feel that I am creative and work well with others, I hope I can be an additon to the team. Floppyc5 18:51, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support - Good guy, fun, and overall a good choice for an ET member.-- 05:58, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Weak support - Was soooo close to joining last time. Basically per yoda though. - 06:25, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Support All around good enough guy, knowledgeable about things that would be useful.--Degenret01 18:00, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Support, looks good. 01:07, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per Degen. While I haven't had much to do with you for awhile, we have been bossing together before. I'm willing to give you a shot. 15:56, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Support - His experience in-game would be useful. 20:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose for now - You seem like a very blunt kind of person, and you really come off to me as being rude. That set aside, you don't seem to take things seriously enough, like offering to tank while in a chicken suit. Sure, you could have done it, but I did not have time to sit there and wonder if you were being silly or not, I had an event to run and needed someone to tank effectively. 19:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Pretty much the same as my comment on Wicid, the serious hat needs to come on at the right times. At the Zamorak event you were in a chicken suit while your RfET was up, making you a natural choice for a backup tank - but you were in the suit. 20:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, he was a pretty good tank... even in the chicken suit. Wicid13 22:49, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Closed - Floppy will not be joining the Events Team at this time. 09:22, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

XxXxGradiusheroxXxX (RSN: Warthog)
Recently, I've kind of returned to the wiki and the wiki's clan chat, and I heard from a few users on how the current events team was starting to slack a little, especially with some wiki drama that had been occurring recently. I did initially apply for the event team positions, but I backed out of my opt, due to arguments with numerous administrators. I fancy coming back to the wiki, with a clean sheet and a nice attitude, I've decided to ignore list all those people who I would generally argue with, and I plan to offer the events team the same offering I would of in the inaugural selections: I have vast amounts of PvM knowledge, How to tank the bosses, How to set up inventories for different levels, How to solo, duo, mass, team, do anything to any type of boss. I only lack a little bit of knowledge in nex, which I plan to change in the future. I'm dedicated to the PvM aspect of this game, and I feel that I would be a valuable contribution to the event's team when they travel to PvM locations. I can offer some knowledge in the larger minigames such as castle wars, pest control, soul wars, etc. The only thing I feel that makes me unfit for the events team is the fact I have very little understanding in the "Dead" aspects of this game, such as trouble brewing and a few other minigames. 19:37, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Strong support. The ET needs the kinds of people who like to retire in a tantrum and call all admins "twats". It needs calm heads—people who can lead by example and ensure that both the ET and the events it runs are drama-free and not filled with negativity. We need the kind of people who request self blocks twice in one year because they cannot control their own temperament on the wiki. We need the kinds of people who "refuse to stop 'rude' behavorior" until people meet his demands. Yes please indeed. 20:02, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because people don't deserve another chance right? 10:29, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps they do. But giving someone a second chance is not the same thing as ignoring their sustained history of poor behavior and putting them in a position of power. There's no reason to believe you're not going to continue to act like a petulant child, particularly since that behavior was sustained over time. It's not like you came back and worked on articles hoping to make amends and repair your reputation. You came back to be on the ET. Why should we expect that you've changed? 05:06, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can't expect it straight away, but you'll see through the coming weeks and months. 15:23, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Agree with above O.O

Neutral - Although I think you're a great guy, I don't think you should be elevated to a position of relative power so soon after reagequitting and coming back. As for Harle, don't be so harsh. I know you may have some feelings against someone, but you don't have to be so blatantly (and/or sarcastically) rude. Sarcasm has it's time and place, but that is not now.-- 05:58, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Warthog has made his opinion clear that sarcasm is okay, so I'm pretty sure he can handle it. 06:02, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

"...I've decided to ignore list all those people who I would generally argue with..." Some of those would be joining the events, a person running the event would need to communicate with those people.--Degenret01 10:54, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * So you assume that me arguing with 3 or 4 people 24/7 is better than me ignoring those people and allowing a different ET member to talk to them instead? 15:49, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not arguing with people 24/7 is better. 05:06, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Everyone is dwelling in the past far too much. We all have our past issues with Warthog, but I really think he's trying to be better. We all rage quit the wiki once or twice, and when we come back we should be given another chance. Personally I'm not even the biggest fan of him. Yet we can all agree he knows more than anyone about bossing. He can get things done. If it doesn't work out, make a YG thread. But until then, he should be given a chance to pull this failing events team out of this slump. {C Peace, 04:28, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, we don't all rage quit the wiki once or twice. Most of us are able to keep perspective and our tempers in check. And why do you think he's "trying to be better"? Since his return from retirement his edits have consisted exclusively of fiddling with his userpage and comments on this page, so I'm not clear where you're divining his newfound sense of congeniality from. Lastly, he does indeed have experience with bossing. But running a boss event isn't hard, we have people currently on the team who can run them just fine, and bossing is not the only kind of event we do. 05:06, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I'm cleaning up my user page and the stuff that revolves around me as a priority at the moment. You can't assume that my attempts at redeeming myself should lie solely with my edits only. If anyone ever needs help in the wiki clan chat, I usually voice my opinion on what they could do or should do. I do agree with you that other people can work my position of knowing how and what to do at each in game boss, but I still feel I can add a new type of diversity in how we could take these bosses more effectively, and even in diffent and fun ways (Anyone fancy some mage only Bandos?). 15:19, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * You quite clearly have some deeper rooted problem with him, Haloo. Don't go around bashing other peoples opinions. You have stated your oppose, so now deal with what other people think. Your point on edits is completely irrelevant here, its just like clan chat rankings. A good admin like you should know that. If people think he is fit for the job (as I see it), He will get it. So you need to stop commenting on other peoples opinions. Thanks, 20:49, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Halo hasn't even stated his opinion, atleast not here. Just sayin' 22:43, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have any deep-rooted problem with Warthog (indeed I even supported his last RfET, but that was before he threw his March tantrum), but I think he's unfit to be put on the ET at this time. This is a discussion (the instructions at the top even use the word "debate"), so I am perfectly permitted to comment on what others say. For example, if your claim that he is "really trying to be better" is founded on absolutely no evidence (which would be reasonably expected given his sustained history of behavior) I am permitted to point that out. Indeed, if we all simply posted one opinion and left it wouldn't be a discussion at all. 02:26, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Support - Per Qwert. By the way Warthog, I would love ice barraging Bandos! Wicid13 20:30, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Pending - I don't know you so I'm not going to flat out oppose, but that means I can't support yet either. I'm not going to oppose because of what you did in the past. Perhaps after I get to know you better I can revisit this entry. We shall talk soon. ^-^ 03:15, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose This is about right now, not the past, and right now his attitude is that he would be unable to not argue 24/7 with certain other wikians in the chat rather than ignoring comments he finds disagreeable. The ET members represent the wiki to all those who come to events, and some of them draw a large amount of people. Arguing ragers as representatives of the wiki will make us look bad. We all have people in the chat who bait/troll us with stupid crap man. The rest of us just do not respond to it. Mostly.--Degenret01 18:00, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Support, I personally think that he will be a welcomed addition to the team. And overall trusted user, even though he has had a history of poor interactions with other editors. 01:08, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Neutral - I have done a lot of duos with you in the past, so I know you're perfectly capable, and that you are a nice guy... but I do share some of the concerns of the others regarding previous incidents. Right now I think its too soon since you've returned to be able to judge whether or not you have really changed, so that is what is holding me back from supporting. Maybe next time around, if you have changed, then I will support fully. 15:59, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Despite his experience and knowledge, Rhys is someone who can go from being calm to downright angry within a minute. His temprement is a major flaw and makes him hard to work with. 20:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Strong support - Your conduct seems sound and you are a really cool guy. I didn't know you before, but I've seen logs & archives and such. You genuinely seem to have grown out of this misbehavior, and you are ready to move on. You said you would put your differences aside when you have to put your Leader Hat on, and I respect that. We can't help it if we dislike people, but we can help how we treat them. I have not once seen you get angry or change from instantly happy to instantly mean like others have suggested, and I trust that you will not do so. Don't let me down. ^-^ 19:15, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Strong Support - Before now I was letting the opinions of others affect my decision a bit too much. However, now I think that Rhys's abundant experience in various aspects of this game and fun, easy to work with personality would be an asset of great value to the Events Team. Cheers, -- 21:37, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Strong support - A bunch of people used to have an issue with Warthog on the grounds of attitude and behaviour but recently I have not seen any real evidence of this. If it returns and people notice it I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to remove him from this position, and he's smart enough to realise that too. He already does a lot of bossing and knows everything one needs to about how to approach them. Of course bosses aren't all the ET do, but any know-how is good know-how. 20:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Closed - Warthog will join the Events Team. 09:22, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

qazwsx753421
I have a pretty open schedule, I am trustworthy, I have made a comment here and there and edited some faults, attended a couple events, and I am very familiar with the game. I believe I have 292 quest points. I can be on at ANY time given time to prepare. Also, with a lv60 milestone cape, I am pretty "well-rounded." I am not very wealthy right now(cash wise) so I will not be able to fund a lot of the events. My adventurer's log is open for anyone to check on my status. I hope to become a wonderful contribution to the Runescape Wikia. Qazwsx753421 10:22, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Comment - Your userpage says that you only have quickchat, that'll be a major problem when communicating in-game. 10:25, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

That was before, I don't look at my user page often, I changed it right after. Didn't expect someone to look at my page already. If you would like to talk to me ingame, add me. Qazwsx753421 17:53, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

No thanks - I've never seen you before, and you've been here for a month. Bad combination. 05:12, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * this probably won't raise my chances, but been where? I've had an account for at least a year...

Weak support - You attend nearly every event, and you're a great person, but I've never seen you elsewhere or involved in this community. 22:22, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * ... where else would I be? Qazwsx753421 01:48, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * The friends and/or clan chat, our IRC channel, participating in Yew Grove and Clan Chat Forum discussions, or just generally editing more so you show up on Special:RecentChanges more. Just having more people recognising your name is an excellent start. 15:54, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I first attended to an event when I saw the site notice. I have been in the friends chat, where nobody else was in, I am already in a clan..... and I don't know what yew grove is or IRC channel... I edit a couple times a month but I mostly click random page and read about... random stuff... and if I find mistakes, I correct them. I mostly use the talk pages and answer others questions. I will look into this 'Yew Grove' and 'IRC channel' right now if it makes you happy :P --Qazwsx753421 04:26, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - I don't see you very often, so not yet.-- 21:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

User:Runescapegamer96
Hi guys. I am Runescapegamer96. I have been here since the end of 2009 but have not made a lot of edits due to not having a Internet Connection for a while. But I do have a lot of great ideas about events and activities that we could do every so often. I can also help members of the Wiki in RS to be able to attend or to contribute to these events and activities which would be helpful to the wiki :)

Thanks,

00:50, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose - Wait until you've gotten to know the community, and let more people get to know you, before trying out for this position, which requires a large amount of co-operation and trust. Also, a lack of internet connection could be a major issue in communication with the rest of the team. Maybe try again next time. 19:04, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ok then thanks for the advice 08:34, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
