Not interested. What I have to say either falls on deaf ears or is analyzed to death by those that think they are the game's Psychologist whether the player wants their assistance or not. This is just one more way that players can feel superior to others and make sure they are able to TRY to put their nose in everything that is none of their business in the first place. This is a very bad idea! We have enough of that already with some that think they can be gone to for anything by any player is always telling everyone they can come to them. Players trying to mediate issues between other players or alliances that has nothing to do with them. I have no trust in a person like that. It sounds like to me they are gathering as much info about players that is really none of their business in the first place. I have serious reservations about this so called Council especially if certain players are wanting to be on it that have no business being on it. Certain players have made me shut down and not share anything because of their need to know everything about everyone. If a certain player ends up on the council and they are allowed to have any power, I will have little faith in the council and be less willing to work with them on anything.
JMO and no I will not name names. If you feel it is you then maybe you should really look at your actions and find out why you have those feelings, but my guess is they are so narcissistic they won't even think it is about them.

Ahri, it seems that you have developed an irrefutable argument.
1) The only people who will volunteer, in your construction, are "popular" (whatever that means).
2) The people who are not "popular," according to you, will not be volunteering.
3) Only people who volunteer will be chosen.
4) Therefore everyone who is chosen will be "popular."
5) This just goes to show that it is a popularity contest
See, if you start with the result, you can prove anything!

Oh, please. Like we don't all already know who is going to get picked for the council.
Decent idea, but too much of a popularity contest. A lot of knowledgeable people won't even bother posting a request to join. And no, I'm not one of them. Not into this sort of thing.

Sounds like fun! Having started an alliance or two with part of their goals to spread out across the land and explore, I am still more interested in the factions than the geography and indeed the Dwarven Druids have a position of Ambassador and have had that since very soon(tm) after the faction hubs appeared. I volunteer for the post as Ambassador. /Nesse

it's not much of a mystery which players are attached to which forum accounts, in most cases.
/me looks meaningfully at his forum name.

Alright, I want to answer a few things:
1) Players will be contacted by this weekend (through the end of the month) and, once they accept, they will be announced in a different thread.
2) I will not tell others who these players are in game. If the members want to mention it, great, but because most of the communications are going to go through the forums, players can keep others in the dark as to who they are in game (off of the forums.)

I guess that means that everyone who has applied should start attempting to fulfill all the roles in which they've expressed interest. Now I have to figure out where Kem is!
