ACHTUNG CC users. In order to engender a greater sense of community and democratic action, I have been asked by many CC players to manage the election of a player ombudsman to represent the desires of the player community to the mods. The player ombudsman will have the mandate of the player community and the sanction of democratic legitimacy to speak on behalf of all CC players to management.
If you would like to run, or would like to nominate someone, please post names in this thread. Once all nominations have been received an election will be held and a winner selected via a modified Schulze-STV tabulation method.*
*In this method, ballots will be assigned to one of the candidates in (A1,A2,...,AS). However, a ballot may only be assigned to An, if the voter prefers An to B. This means that ballots which prefer B to all the candidates in (A1,A2,...,AS) will remain unassigned. The ballots are assigned such the ballots held by the candidate with the smallest number of ballots is maximised.
The number of votes in favour of the candidate that (A1,A2,...,AS) beats (A2,...,AS,B) is equal to the number of ballots held by the candidate with the fewest number of ballots.
To determine the result of the comparison, the reverse comparison will also be performed. This will give the number of votes against the candidate that (A1,A2,...,AS) beats (A2,...,AS,B), i.e. the number of votes in favour of the proposal that (A2,...,AS,B) beats (A1,A2,...,AS). A new ombudsman will then be declared elected. All necessary calculations will be performed by me, as elections manager. I will also certify the results. Nominations will close at such time as the elections manager determines a sufficient quantity of candidates have been nominated.
note - historically problematic players (HPP) will not be eligible to stand for election
I nominate myself, Saxitoxin.
