RuneScape:Events Team/Requests

/Archive/

This is the page to request to join the events team.

To nominate a user, create a 3 level header like so:

Example
Outline the reasons you think you/the nominee will be a good member here in a small paragraph.

Please note that the Events Team has one hard requirement: you must have an account on the wiki. If you do not have a wiki account, your RfET will automatically be void.

In addition, there are some softer requirements which can de debated upon during the RfET. Take these as guidelines for consideration if you are planning to nominate yourself, another person or to vote on an RfET:
 * Trusted user - are they 'trusted' by the wiki community (in-game and/or on-wiki)?
 * Game familiarity - are they familiar with the game, including being able to access most/all activities, successfully tank (or at least fight) bosses, etc...?
 * Availability - are they available to attend/host events (time zone permitting), are they often available for discussion in the Events Team's IRC channel?
 * Permission - if you are nominating someone other than yourself, please make sure to obtain their permission before nominating them.
 * Due to the nature of working in the Events Team, members will be expected to work together closely and possibly under stress. As such the current team have immediate veto power - if they cannot work together well with the candidate, then they should not join the team.

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.

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)

Strong 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)

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)

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)

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. 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)

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)
 * touché - 08:02, 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)

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)

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)

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)

Coaster4321
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)
