I have it on good authority that including a picture of yourself in an Owlbear costume is a virtual certainty to be appointed.

Quote:
Be 18 years of age or older at the time of their application, nomination, or selection for the council.  Maintain an active play style during the council’s term of service. (“Active” to be determined by Turbine at its sole discretion.)

• Be in good standing, with no significant violations of Turbine’s Terms of Service, End User License Agreement or Community Guidelines. Accounts must remain free of said violations during the period of service.

• Be from any geographic region officially supported by Dungeons & Dragons Online.

• Council business will be conducted primarily in English. Therefore we request applicants have the ability to communicate with the team and each other via written and spoken English.

• Be able to interact with other members of the Council and Turbine employees in a mature, constructive, and mutually respectful manner.


While it does sound interesting, I have fear of it being ML Redux... so being about more useless than L-Space.
( sorry Maj, But L-Space is not really useful since game breaking bugs still make it on live, and it required an occupy Stormreach to get game breaking system changes to be partially reverted... )

Anyway :
ok, let see.
1) I'm more than twice the 18 year minimum. I'm active, still VIP, logging 3/4 evening a week, playstyle is midway between powergamerzergers and flowersniffers ( I can do both if needed, I can do EE runs if needed, and I have a static group of flower sniffer that has been playing for 8 years together )

2) My Infractions are forum Infractions. ( see relevant sub-forum here, there are all posted )

3) Is Froggy Land Officially Supported ?

4) I'm considered being fluent in English. ( Note that it's English English though, not Yankee English ) I can also probably speak decent Québecois and Cajun.  Roll Eyes

5) I can communicate decently, as long as the decently allows me to say that Plume de Soleil should never be allowed to come around loot again.

hmm, should I ?

They will probably exclude vaulties just for being vaulties. Though, that does mean that one could make an account and impersonate someone they don't want to become a councillor.

I saw what kind of lick-spittle shenanigans go down on Mournlands first hand. I have zero interest in being a part of it's second iteration.

Oh? I haven't seen any anecdotes about this. Care to share, Mem?

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

It is an interesting project, but I agree with most that this looks way too much like Mournlands: The Circlejerk Strikes Back.

To quote Mark Twain "I would not want to be the member of a club that would have me as a member."  So I am neither applying nor am I asking anyone to put my name in the hat as it were.  I'm currently 5 college courses away from my bachelor's degree and would rather spend my spare time in-game or reading the fora that I do.

I put in an application. I spend half my time on the forums putting down ideas, commenting on ideas, or giving feedback to the devs (and the other half half-trolling), so I figure I may as well see about getting to a spot where I can affect greater change...assuming the thing works as anything more than a feel-good sounding board.

If this is going to be anything like the LoTRO version then anyone that applies should be a tank. You will be be blamed for everything that goes wrong and.... forget it you already know how they operate.

Check out what Sapience response is to people on the other forum. The only thing to know about being apart of the council is your only job is to be thrown under the bus.

I am forum banned, my account has been under surveillance and flagged for exploits - though never banned (Never caught, or never did it - you decide!). I used to be a very active member of the vault, and - last, but most certainly the best:

I had Tarrant so fucking scared he was going to call the FBI on me for my location and sig on my ddovault account.


Yeah, I don't think I will ever be eligible for inhouse turbine shit. Which is to bad, I would love to be apart of Mournlands 2 if they are actually going to listen to players and not have the same fucking bullshit pulled they did with Mournlands 1.

We will see, if they are as anal as 404 was about Vault membership or not.

By this time they have probably understood that The Vault is The alternative forum and they can't do shit about it. So they have to live with it and the fact that those that like DDO will have an account here too. How they deal with it is going to give a fair idea where they are heading with this wannabe Mournland Redux.

The only way I would take this seriously would be if Epoch was in it, tbh.
Just for the knowledge that every time turbine expected an email report from him, they'd have to open it on a separate PC designated for NSFW material.
