Generally speaking, I think you are doing fine. Last semester, we had more LAN attendees than the previous semester. This semester, we have a lot of new members. That is good. Still, it is important for you (and all executives, actually) to have an understanding of politics. There are several constituencies in the club. The Family comes to mind. They are a large voting block, so it is best not to outwardly antagonize them. Not that you should be an appeasing cowrd or anything, but try to maintain good relations, or at least an illusion of it. Also, nothing gets voters *edited*ed off faster than trying to alter voting rules. Just something to keep in mind.
I honestly don’t see how we are that large of a voting block? 5 out of 30+ people doesn’t seem too big of sway to me. And another thing it’s not like we are going to vote against anything because we’ve been “antagonized” (didn’t really see the point of you adding that), if we don’t vote for something it’s because we don’t like the game. And amongst the people that are in tF we have different views on which games we want to play. And most of us are unbiased in what to play. Take me for example, I opted to not have GoW2 in this LAN just to give it some down time. GoW2 is my game I love it more than any other game I’ve ever played but instead I put my support behind the Wii and PS3 to get it’s popularity up. Please stop looking at our community as some kind of force that has to be appeased. We are gamers just like everyone else in the club.
