What are the candidates' opinions on allowing more freedom for a player to switch PCs? I'm referring to proposals easing temporary retirement restrictions, allowing one PC per server, etc.

But sure as hell everyone wants to be apart of the B game. And thus the A game is nearly extinct while other servers of NWN2 are still running 99+ players, even some permadeath ones.

then go there.

oh, and thank you Xanthea for trying to get back on topic. Even though I am taking it back off in my usual manner.

Id like to know what you think can help fix this. You are right, it can often be this way and it aint fun.

Awesome logic. :roll:

CD is jaded by the status quo and angry about it. Getting pissy with her about it won't help matters, and neither will pretending that a lot of people leave this place once they actually come here, new or old alike.

Nor do forum rants solve the problem.

The fact of the matter is, take a moment to consider why someone who "doesn't play in the game at all" would get voted in over another candidate.

You can go the route of "we keep the same people in power, its a conspiracy, Game B, etc." route, or you can stop and look at the other candidate that they might not be trusted or fit the criteria to fulfill that role outside of applying.

We have these candidates, because they self nominated. We will have whomever is voted to be most competent into the role. Deal with it.
Current PCs:
Zova Earth Breaker, Monk of Rasheman
Alyra Ashedown, Knight Commander of Silverymoon

I'm not running because a) I value my sanity more than the guys that have nominated and b) I'm too much of a polarizing figure to ever get voted in, but if I DID run, this would be my platform.

Commonly, the politics and board shenanigans of ALFA are referred to as "game B". Thus, "game A" is our actual game - you know, logging into the servers and playing / DMing. Crazy stuff.
