Seeking Committee Volunteers (March 2009)

[zimtstern]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?
Each day.

Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.
Ye, there was a woman where i work and she stole sometimes. She was always friendly to me but once i just told this my chief.

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?
Ye sure im always there for ppl and answer their questions.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene".  1 being you don't play pubs.  10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.
9. i play pubs daily and know much people.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know players from the matching scene?  1 being you don't match.  10 being you are heavily involved in a clan and know members of every other clan very well.
10. i match daily, irc clans and pub clans aswell.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know the IRC community. 1 being you don't use IRC.  10 being you idle in most of the channels and know everybody but "DPSurfer" (but can usually identify him within a couple lines of text or by his hostmask unless he's legitimately a new player).
10 thx thunderhawk;)

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?
If i don`t have enough prove i wouldn`t.

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?
It`s hard but i would.

Are you prepared to take the crap the community may throw at you, if they don't agree with a decision, and behave in a mature and professional manner?
Yes, i am. They can talk as much as they want, it won`t help.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?
Im very active - often on Pubs, in IRC and i know the whole Match Scene. Im able to talk german, english and french.
Im fair and im always there for ppl if they need any help.

definitely 10 - extremely active in many irc channels

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?
i would think it through first , take both sides of the argument into consideration and finally give a conclusion - but if there is little evidence and it isnt convincing - then no

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?
extremely tough - but as its for the better of the community i would do it

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?
Because I'm on every day and i talk to most the people on Mirc and Xfire and more and most of the  Committee is not playing paintball every day so some of those people who posted before should forget it because they cant  stop playing to look at multis i dont play every day.

[SKEET]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?

around 6 days a week

Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.

I was student counsel vice president my freshman year of highschool.

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email,

yes, I am familiar with all of these mediums of communication

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene".  1 being you don't play pubs.  10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.

9.5 I am a very active player and i know around 90% of the active players in this game.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know players from the matching scene?  1 being you don't match.  10 being you are heavily involved in a clan and know members of every other clan very well.

I would probably say a 10. I am an active member of the matching scene.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know the IRC community. 1 being you don't use IRC.  10 being you idle in most of the channels and know everybody but "DP Surfer" (but can usually identify him within a couple lines of text or by his hostmask unless he's legitimately a new player).

9 I have idled mirc since ETG.

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?

If i know that the player has a reputation and there is a good amount of evidence. then yes i would.

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?

absolutely, If a player hacks that player deserves to be banned.

Are you prepared to take the crap the community may throw at you, if they don't agree with a decision, and behave in a mature and professional manner?

I am prepared. I take a lot of crap from the community now. :]

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?

I feel that if i was on the committee I would try and contribute to this community. I want to better this game and clean it up. I would do my best to actively contribute to this game and its players. I really just want to help the game that i love.

[Gamabunta]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?
Not gonna lie - I'm on only for weekends, and that's when I'd resolve issues.

Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.
Haven't been.

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?
That's not much of a problem for me, I can deal with Czech/Polish people via other communicators.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene". 1 being you don't play pubs. 10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.
I play pubs every weekend - I'm to be found on both euro and n/a servers. I'd give it 8.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know players from the matching scene? 1 being you don't match. 10 being you are heavily involved in a clan and know members of every other clan very well.
Again would give it 8.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know the IRC community. 1 being you don't use IRC. 10 being you idle in most of the channels and know everybody but "DPSurfer" (but can usually identify him within a couple lines of text or by his hostmask unless he's legitimately a new player).
Idling IRC every weekend, in most of the channels that are essential. Again - 8.

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?
I'd try to get as much evidence as needed to ban someone, but not being assured by it, I'd say 'guilty until proven innocent'.

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?
Violating the rules would result in losing my trust for a friend, because I hang out with people not willing to cheat, and thus I'd be the first to suspect and report him.

Are you prepared to take the crap the community may throw at you, if they don't agree with a decision, and behave in a mature and professional manner?
I've been in such situations and I have no problem with being thrown at.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?
I've never liked those who violate the rules, so I'm all for cleaning this game up. I don't care if that'd mean banning half of so called 'active community'. I'm willing to help anytime, I try to help DPSurfers in #paintball. Not posting in every thread does not make me unaware of situation - I just don't want to comment on things when I won't contribute anything to the disscussion. Furthermore, I understand several languages and can deal with Czechs/Slovaks. And I'm an honest person.

[atmays]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?

Im usually on for hours a day, if not playing Dp, Im doing something on my comp and Im always checking the forums.

Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.

Well of course, I was in a bad situation when Homing and Bullet hacked, They was my clan and at the time I didnt think they was hacking, and I took alot of crap for that but Im past that.

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?

Yes, I talk to nearly everyone on this game, and its not always friendly, but ask anyone I dont hold grudges. Well unless your name is Dystro.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene".  1 being you don't play pubs.  10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.

7 cause I dont idle ALL chans but I do idle more than -10.

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?

No, if its not enough evidence we really cant do anything but wait for more. Usually people will slip up.

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?

Im not the type to report someone, I look at it as snitching, I hate snitching so I dont do it but I will give my opinion on the situation. This might cause people to not vote for me but ay it is the truth.

Are you prepared to take the crap the community may throw at you, if they don't agree with a decision, and behave in a mature and professional manner?

I been taking crap from this community since I started. I was in DeW you know.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?

I keep it real, Im capable of thinking for myself, I wont let anyone influence my decisions. I think im fair and Im pretty sure people can verify that im active in the Pubs, Clan scene, forums, and IRC.

Well thats it. Have a nice day.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?

i want to make the game fun and hack free and get all the people that hacked banned and get the committee back up and runing.and I feel I would be a good committee member because I don't judge people. I see both sides of the story and investigate to find out fully what actually happened.

[eMo]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?
- Im constantly on the computer at home and at school.

Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.

At work one of my friends was accused of stealing money from the till. Me being the only other person working that night. Without there being video camera surveillance I just told them I didnt see anything and no action should be took because the company had no hard evidence. 

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?
Yes, I'm very good at dealing with people and problems.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene".  1 being you don't play pubs.  10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.

Yep, after all its the internet and arguing over it is pretty pointless.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?

I feel I would be a good committee member because I don't judge people. I see both sides of the story and investigate to find out fully what actually happened.
I'm also not a push over in what i believe in, if you wronged the community than take you're vacation.
I have a lot of experience in the working world to know how to deal with mass people and usual can diffuse a situation with ease.

OT: .... anyway i can get my forum name changed to my game name i use now(circa)

I recommend that nick/chris does not get a committee position.

[flip]

How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?

It all depends on everyones schedule. There are many ways to communicate and I don't see it as setting specific time aside since I already spend quite a bit of time on here already.


Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions?  Give some examples.

I work in the security/LEO field. Do you really want some examples? I had to decide whether or not to put my life on the line by running into a pod where three individuals were stabbing a fourth. Do I risk my life and break rules because he is a human being? or do I let him die because he is just an inmate?

Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?

Contacting people behind a computer is easy. There is no harm in this as long as you let them know what you are discussing.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well would you say you know players from the "pub scene".  1 being you don't play pubs.  10 being you play on public servers every day and know everybody there.

I think I can put myself down for a 9 since I play pubs quite often. I even play mornings with a lot of our brothers across the pond.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know players from the matching scene?  1 being you don't match.  10 being you are heavily involved in a clan and know members of every other clan very well.

I know quite a few here since I play there as well. I might not be on the best terms with some but I know them.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how well do you know the IRC community. 1 being you don't use IRC.  10 being you idle in most of the channels and know everybody but "DPSurfer" (but can usually identify him within a couple lines of text or by his hostmask unless he's legitimately a new player).

I'll give my self an 8 here since I don't know everything about irc. I can learn it though. I got this far didn't I?

If you are presented with a case where it appears somebody has violated the rules, but you can't find enough evidence to prove it 100%, would you vote to punish him or not?

Trick question. It depends entirely up to the situation, the individuals past history, and the majority of the vote.

Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?

Everyone knows we have a no hack policy to begin with. This means we do not allow anyone who has been caught hacking into our team.

Are you prepared to take the crap the community may throw at you, if they don't agree with a decision, and behave in a mature and professional manner?

Most of them give me crap now anyways. The other half don't like me. I can be mature but I prefer to have a good time. I can be professional if the situation requires it.

Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?

1) I'm too old to care about cheating.
2) I'm too old to care what people think of me.
3) I've been around the block and have the experience to make decisions.
4) I've been playing video games since I was 7 or 8 years old so I'll likely be here when this one dies just like the Commodore computers, Atari, and original Nintendo did.
5) I play well with others.

In all seriousness, If you need someone who is used to making well informed decisions and can't be coerced by the "cool" kids give me a shot.  For this to work though you need to have real people on the committee.

[SuperMAn]

u guys are too slack nvm

[lilb990]

So when will the results come out by any chance just wondering?

[ViciouZ]

We're voting now. Don't ask for specific dates.
