Help Wanted: Lead Admin

Wynna · Post by **Wynna** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:27 pm

Between having my kid home for the summer from school and upcoming travel plans, my time for the next three months is about to become severely limited. I do hope somebody out there feels the desire to take on the thankless, stressful, all-consuming, patience-requiring, generally powerless and ultimately very rewarding position of Lead Admin. If you think I jest, please think again. For compensation, you get to work with some of the finest, most dedicated creative minds in the community. Oh, and hey! With 100+ forums, there's always reading material for your downtime.

ALFA is a great big family divided by a love for the same game. Starting soon, I can't give it the attention I'd like to, until September. If you feel you can fairly advocate for all branches of this family (even crazy Uncle Leroy who you don't like) and serve as a vote-enabled figurehead with vital powers of appeal and veto, now's the time. Think before you self-nominate: can I heal instead of harm? Can I unite instead of divide? Am I doing this for ALFA? For me? To put into place a specific policy or trend? The results for the latter reasons are likely to severely disappoint not just you but your electorate and a disappointed electorate (even if not your own) is a trip through all levels of the inferno.

I'll be around for the summer, just much less and sometimes not for weeks at a time. My DMing is going to have to go off-schedule and become a once-in-a-while thing, too. That'll go back to schedule in September and come December, I could well toss my hat in the Lead ring again. Until then, though I'll maintain my DM status for those times I can get on and DM, and I'll build whenever I can, I'll take a spot in the cheap seats and see what ALFA feels like from the non-Admin side.

Good luck to any serious candidates!

Thanks for serving the past few months, Wynna - it's been good to know there are reasonable people driving ALFA forward. And I hope who ever follows is able to continue the good job. I know there are a few people out there who would do a brilliant job in this role. Don't be afraid to step forwards, if you have the time and right motivations.

How do I know if I have the right motivations?

I think they're right, after all.

Think before you self-nominate:

No! Its all politics at this point and the fEw SaNe PeOpLe like yourself, Wynna, are leaving. Not only will you be missed, ALFA will undoubtably destroy itself quicker. I will continue my reign of terror in your stead, faithfully.

Akivaria for Emperor of ALFA.

May I follow in the footsteps of the great Palpatine.

Excellent! The DnD game for ALFA begins! The players are drunk in the tavern and the die has been cast.

thanks and have fun this summer.

I vote for Albereth to be the Grand Chancilor of ALFA.

Ya Wynna take the summer off...give someone else a chance to lead this ship. You do a good job, but personally this place needs some new blood running it. The old hats cant try and run it forever.

I am humbled by your dedication to our little group and the patience you've shown, Wynna. You deserve plenty of time off. Not only have you dedicated ridiculous amounts of personal time and energy to ALFA, but you've maintained an even keel throughout it all.

Personally, your patience and enthusiastic encouragement has meant a great deal to me in the PR role. I sincerely hope that the next LA has some of these same superhuman traits.

And thanks Wynna, enjoy your time with your family!
