But given the amount of respectable clans we have currently they may increase in the future(I'm talking about years from now) so this number will have to be eventually dropped imo. Just cautioning you at this stage
I'm not sure exactly what you mean - how will a rise in the number of influential clans affect this? If the rule is constitutional, then it will take a majority vote from the staff to change it.
I think what he means is that this percentage value at the moment should only be used to bring across your idea but the figure itself is not plausible. By saying 25%, you are saying that there are only 4 clans in existence that can make up staff if all staff members are apart of a clan. The clan variety is obviously wider than just 4 and so whatever figure that is to be used would have to continually express that, hence its eventual drop as time progresses in the fairness of new clans. An absolute value would have to be used instead e.g. 10 per clan or something.
My issue with it though and I see it as a continual trend for all servers, is the viewpoint that shares need to be established for fairness; let me address that this is not how fairness is issued. For if you so happen to have a clan member that is far beyond expectations to be qualified for a particular staff work, are you really going to deny him because you already have x amount of his clan buddies on board? Similarly would you recognize his ability and as such kick one of the less gifted staff members from his clan to uphold the staff share when you add in the "better" guy? What if a vast majority of members that are appointed from only one particular clan are just handsdown the best persons you've ever came acrossed, both morally and functionally? What if there's an unsure potential cream from the crop member that is in a clan that has bad reputation? Would his affiliation affect your choice? What do you really do?
The system is bullshit.
The underlying problem is that you all care too much about opinions from people that you probably cant hold a sensible
moral conversation with. Dont deny a capable person and dont kick the less capable but very functional person for the sake of saying "this is an unbiased staff". Instead, you guys need to do 2 very essential things:
- Hold your chest high and stand by the decisions you make in having the best staff extracted from the community. This means you value the individuals more than their associations.
- Be welcoming. When you're welcoming you will know the community a lot more than just the scope of the clan members of a ruling person(s) in charge of the server. When you're welcoming you definitely wont just full the staff of your clan buddies either
So to fully exercise this cuz the efforts so far by Charley have been welcoming of the community, dissolve the need of "a balance". The message is to everyone, you dont need a balance, you need a change of focus. Watch the individual, not the clan
