I was under the impression that Gunrose wanted Historian. Taking pictures and videos of events is the Historian’s job, and that’s what he’s been doing.
And I have taken initiative for advertising. I pester Thor about if he has the posters ready or not, and I’ve even sent him ones when I wasn’t sure. Also, I have some good ideas about how to reach out as a club to attract more people to our events.
Don’t get me wrong, Thor is a cool guy, he just seems to drop the ball on advertising. As for Gunrose, He seems to be pretty enthusiastic about taking pictures and stuff, and I think he could preform as a good Historian. I don’t really know Waffle, and I have nothing against him. I don’t want to screw him over, but I’m still going to run for the position.
I like Thor but too often he gets busy in RL and drops the ball. He’s a great guy but I don’t think anyone that’s married should be a club exec. There’s just no way the club will get the priority in your life that it needs. That doesn’t say anything bad about the person, because they’re correct in focusing on RL, but the club needs people who aren’t so busy in RL.
And agreed, Gunrose would make a great historian.
I’d still ask that you hesitate before running against Waffle. Check this thread for my reasoning: http://www.wcugaming.org/forums/index.php?/topic/13375-advertisement
I mean he’s already been making contacts with local LAN centers and reaching out to potential sponsors. He knows his stuff. I’m not saying you don’t but when given the option I always prefer the safer bet. The club needs someone with this level of dedication right now to rebuild the sponsor network that’s been lost over the last few years.
