It is a serious commitment to not be taken lightly. You must be able to work well with the staff and keep an open mind to other's ideas. This opening is for General Council and you must host events, along with all the other work that needs done. It will be helpful if you are also able to be a fall-in leader if ever needed.
So in summary we are looking for:
The importance of the Council Rank:
Now it seems right to quote Eugene, from an Election Topic he made on the Z6 Forums in 2007:
--------------------------------------------- If you are still certain that you are right for this job and if you have not been put off by the warning above, then you can apply as long as you meet the following criteria: - Guardian+ Below is the Council Application Form Please be aware however: That this form is the basic form that you need to fill out. If you want to gain more votes, I suggest that your write a structured application, involving colour & underlining key points. Also please try to get your point across clearly. Please spend a good amount of time making the application form
------------- IMPORTANT INFORMATION: -When you decide to resign from the Council, you must give us at least two weeks notice, and you cannot leave before this period is up. You must understand that if you leave earlier, you will be banned and added to the Hall of Shame. -The ending date for applications is Sunday 21th November 2010 - 5pm EST/10pm GMT. -You MUST post on this topic, do NOT PM any Council with your application. It WILL be ignored. I'm really looking forward to working with whoever gets this. I'm open for discussion and help in any area you may need me. Good Luck to all that apply. -------------------- ![]() Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” ~~Colin Powell ~~ ![]() | ||||||||||

Have you read and understood the warning? Please comment on why the warning is needed and of what relevance it is to you as an applicant. The warning is there todo as it is so rightly named. To warn possible candidates of the problems and issues they will encounter whilst being a council member. 2. Why are you applying for the Council? (I'm expecting at the very least 100 words.) I am applying, simply because I love WG. Why do you think I always end up back here. Because I love it. I love the atmosphere, the friends and most of all the experience. Ask anyone that leaves and trys to stay away. Even those that leave and troll us, why do you think they do it? Because they loved it here, and are trying to make themselves feel better about leaving. I want to make WG the best it can possibly be. I know you will see this in every application that you will read. So why am I any different? Because I have experience. Im an Ex Raid Leader. I know my pking stuff. I know tactics and clans that we can seriously expect to beat and stuff like that. I know my activity hasnt been the greatest. I understand this. But for all the major wars that have been on, since I rejoined......I have attended. I know me applying is gonna cause allllll sorrtts of issues. But meh, oh well. Third time lucky Eh? 3. What do you perceive to be your current role in WG and in what way do you believe that you have helped WG to prosper? My current role, is Trial Guardian. I understand this. I know I havent done my graduation yet. But im on it. I saw this as an oportunity to help WG. And im grabbing it by the balls. 4. What qualities place you above other people applying for this position? Experience, Age, im vocal "your not his lordship, brrrrrrrr - See soundboard" 5. What makes you think you can last for a long period in the Council? [Please really think about this and give us details.] Im not going anywhere. Im settled. I have a house with the misses. I have a cat. Im not going to leave anyone in the lurch. 6. What is your greatest weakness in terms of being a Leader? I always speak my mind. Fuck me off, and I will tell you. 7. What does WG need most at the moment and what will your main priorities be as a Council Member? Experience and help. Guiding people to better pkers and people. Tank. 8. Is there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make you inactive? Do you plan on serving as WG council for 6 months or longer? May change my job, may not. Puts me innactive for 2 days tops. 9. Do you agree to provide the Council with two weeks notice if you wish to resign? Of course. 10. Is there anything else you would like to say? Good Luck Keanu. -------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||

That means you have until Sunday to work your applications over. You want to take up a position with WG's council? Make your application look professional. Don't put ten minutes of work into the application for the position. The effort you put here will show through in the effort if you got the position. So I'm saying right now to both of you, and anyone that's about to apply in the next day or so. USE THE WHOLE WEEK TO WRITE YOUR APPLICATION. Keep it saved in Notepad, go over it with spell check, go over grammar and shit on it. Not trying to bash you Supreme, but it looks like you put about 5 minutes of effort into your application. I'm not having a go at you, I promise you that. I'm just giving you some constructive criticism. :| I was council for a really long time, and I'm telling you from experience. Don't half-ass this. -------------------- ![]() | ||||||||||

I can use Kyle and myself as examples - we literally took the whole week to write it, and much of the week before, since we knew they were coming up. Take a long time, think very carefully. I know I say this every time, but it's because I speak from 16 months of being a Council member, and i can honestly say that if you go into this without thought you will end up depressed, possibly suicidal, and you will last for all of 2 months before you decide to step down. WG deserves someone spectacular, to continue on from the spectacular council we've just lost and those we've had in the past. -------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||

Good luck to all applicants. Good luck to WG with trying to make the right choice, don't piss around voting for someone because you like them or some bullshit like that, because that's not what council elections are about. Make sure to actually read the applications (as some people already clearly haven't) and think about what they say in them and make up your mind. Hope this isn't a popularity contest, but I'm willing to bet it will be. -------------------- ![]() Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||||||
