I had to think about this but guys I have a very serious problem with what went down here. It is the duty of the club to play the games that are VOTED to be played; not the games that a select few want to play. Now which is a better representation of the club: the 13 people at the console meeting or the almost 50 at the general club meeting? Now if you want to add additional games, those should be based purely on the number of votes that each game received; as its already been said, both Mario Kart Wii and Wii Bowling received more votes than GH3 and SC3. Of course if you wanted to up to another tournament, GH3 would be an obvious choice because it received the next highest # of votes, etc.
I could argue this stuff all day but it all comes down to this: If you guys are going to go and decide the games without the entire club’s input, that’s fine (we would need an amendment to the constitution) but DONT waste the club’s time in the general meeting to vote in games if you aren’t going to adhere to those votes.
The turn out for Wii Bowling/Mario kart is generally 2-3x that of GH3 or Gears War and probably greater than the two put together. This was probably reflected at the original meeting. I don’t know how you plan to “override” the general meeting votes, but that’s not what the Console P/VP positions were created for. I should know, I created them.
