How much time per week would you be willing to dedicate to resolving issues brought up to the committee?I would dedicate 1-2 hours per day during week days, and 2 hours or more (when needed) during the weekends. I'm constantly active on the forums, and would generally dedicate whatever time is needed. And this is no lie, other people have said they would be active everyday, but isn't.
Have you been in a position where you have had to make difficult "grey area" decisions? Give some examples.Not going to lie, isn't going to get me in a better position for myself. I haven't been in one of these positions, but would like to some-day make a decision like this.
Are you comfortable with contacting people via email, IRC, Ventrilo, etc. in order to investigate issues?That would be fine, I would contact in any means necessary in order to get relevant information regarding the case.
EDIT: Downloaded Vent, Mumble, TS2 + TS3, Skype and MSN.
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.8, recently I've been a little inactive due to myself having a few lag issues. At the moment, it seems like the lag is gone and I will come back to the pubbing scene. Back when I had no lag, I used to pub everyday for at least an hour. I suppose I have a general idea of pubs, and will eventually increase my knowledge as soon as I get back to pubbing, which will probably be tomorrow.
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.8, I'm in an active clan with active members. We would match against every possible clan that would want to play, and match for as long as possible. I currently take an important role in my clan, and have done with many of my formers, I know a lot of the players from Europe, as well as the American scene. I also know many members of the Czech Republic scene, being good friends with [eX] and their members. So contacting certain czechs wouldn't be a problem, if needed.
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).Definitely 10, I'm on IRC for over 3 hours a day. Currently in 22 active channels, and know the IRC community exceptionally well. Also have contacts with many of the main people of IRC.
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 am presented with such a case, I would thoroughly check the evidence thats provided currently, then double-check the evidence to make sure that I fully understand it, and try and get as much evidence collaborated to finally make an accurate judgement. Until enough evidence is provided that is actually legitimate, I would not choose to vote at that time. So my answer would be: I wouldn't vote until enough evidence has been provided that is actually accurate.
Would you be willing to turn over a friend or clan mate if you suspected him of violating the rules?It's obviously going to be tough, but when you take up a role such as this, it comes with responsibilities. I would respect those responsibilites, and turn my friend in if I ever suspected him of cheating. It's only e-friends anyhow, not as if they are going to cause a major impact to your real life or schoolwork.
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 feel that I am finally old enough to understand and take an active role in this community. Over the past few months/years, I've had the community turn on my for many things, which is unfortunate, but I just took it on the chin, and moved on with my life. I wouldn't reply back to them with hurtful comments that could cause flamefests, I would act in a professional manner that would give the impression that I was a confident and mature person, which I someday hope to be.
Why do you feel you would be a good member of the committee?When I first came to these forums, I was, to put it in a nice way, a pr*ck. I raged on the forums constantly, always making off-topic posts and was never actually reading the thread properly. I felt I didn't understand the forums back then, and is why these actions happened. But I just wanna turn over a new leaf, start fresh, and make it so that I can be known as a good person, not for being a forum troll.. I also made bad impressions in the pub and matching scene back in 2008, and I extremely regret everything I've done. I just wish I could wipe my past gone, and start brand new.
I want to be on the committee to prove to all the people tnat despise me, all the people who think that I'm not capable of doing these things. I want to prove that I am organized, and am actually a good asset to the community. I feel that this is a fantastic oppurtinity to prove this, which will not only bring out the best in me, but also help the DP community to make it cleaner, and a nicer place to be.
As I've said before, I've done a lot of excrement in the past. I completely regret everything I've done, I hopefully think that if I was given this oppurtunity to be in the committee, I could prove to all my critics that I am a good guy really.
I'd be a good member of the committee, because I have contacts in many czech clans, so communicating with the czech members isn't a problem, really. I feel that I'm a great asset to a team, and can work with anyone, no matter what there skills or personality is like. I hope you'll actually read what I've said here, and actually think about what I've said.
I'm not lying in the above statement. I've been fully honest, and just await your reply. Thanks
