I think FAF needs someone new and that would push for change. Keeping the same pool of people in control causes complacency and stagnation. He has played the game for years. He understands the game and the players base. He also is one of the main creators for random map gen.
I think Emperor_Penguin would be a a great choice for PC.
Pretty sure FAF has some toxicity.
Really any professional organization would have a side bar and they wouldn't talk openly to the entire organization they would be discreet. this isn't a rape this is an election. Comparing this to a rape is absolutely disgusting. Your argument is invalid.
FtXCommando-- please respond. and not some copy paste from yourself
"roaches need not apply"-FtXCommando
Why would anyone want FTX he has already shown himself in the official FAF discord as an arrogant douchebag "roaches need not apply". Its an open election and anyone who actually cares about the community's wellbeing would not say that. He acts like he already has it in the bag. He shows himself to be ignorant and a jerk. The single comment shows this.
A PC is supposed to care about players, calling applicants roaches who want to be active members of the community is the absolute opposite of what a PC is supposed to be.
I think a large problem of the faf community is that you guys cater to the highest ranked people. You ignore the majority of the FAF community. Even the balance team is based around the highest rated player base. The majority of the active Community is less than 1k. Not everyone plays on the high skilled games. Most of us play for fun. We like to use this game to relax.
I'm a registered nurse and the nursing board in each state in the United States uses nurses of each level to reprimand and expunge any issues. Having someone who can understand the level of the current player and games played is important
I think the majority of you guys have been in charge of this game for too long and there needs to be New Blood. A lot of you feel threatened when someone new comes along. I've been harassed by multiple people just for talking about true facts about ftxCommando. This only proves my point even further.
Toxic and old leadership will not help this game. We need somebody who is new who is not involved in the elitist echo chamber that's already going on. It's obvious to me this community has been led by the same group for years...
We need someone who is In touch with the novice community as well as the higher rated community. We don't need someone who is completely one-sided for the professionals.
Regardless if you're professional player or a mediocre player or a novice player your opinion is important
Emperor penguin understands every aspect of the player community. He is a decent person and is what we need. Heck he's even one of the most major contributors of the map generator which is hugely popular.
Let's be honest the majority of you guys who are applying for this position have been out of touch with the community for years. A lot of people who have obtained their ranks have done so with the assistance from Clans or friends in high ranks. FTX and MORAX are using Clans and their Connections to get votes
The majority of the FAF player base may not vote for these issues like PC. To be honest they probably don't even know a vote is it going on. I fear this makes the community stuck in stagnation.
If you really care about votes from the entire community, 80% of the news page would mention up-and-coming votes. I Understand changing this will take time.
I feel that the only person who is able to represent all levels of the player base fairly at this time is Emperor penguin. He is not an elitist, he is not stagnant and he isn't self-absorbed like many of the applicants.
This is all my personal opinion, but I believe it to be the truth. I am not quoting a bunch of 2000 Rated players who think they represent the entire community. I truly hope we get the entire Community involved for the voting and not just some microcosm of elitist.

If anyone is out of touch with the community it is all the people arguing here. This is just a video game, and nobody needs to represent anyone. Normal people just play the game because they want to, and do not want to be involved in all of this stupid drama. Stagnation is actually the goal of FAF. The point is to keep this 14 year old game around so people can keep playing it like they always have.
And order to keep this 14 year old game around we need to support new players.
We need New blood who understands old a new players. The same PC will only promote stagnation and lack of new ideas. A PC who primarily reaches out to the the high rank player base will not keep this game going.
The player base is getting older. People have kids. WE need outreach. Stagnation will just kill us off slowly. People will get tired spend time with family's. At the end of the day, lack of change will see us playing on the the steam client.
Whoever is left....
Holding on isn't enough..

Can I find a random quote from the other 2 candidates where they are toxic and spam this thread full of them without making any point, or will they actually be deleted now
I urge you to find examples of the other two candidates being toxic in the FAF community. FtXommando has a history acting unprofessional. I am absolutely certain at least one of the two other candidates does not have a history of Toxicity in the FAF community.
At The very minimum the PC should be professional and respectful.
I propose we keep the BP required the same and simply increase the monkeylords movement speed by x4. xD
Pretty sure FAF has some toxicity.

Finds me Joins my groups discord proceeds to be toxic . I PM him to make it private then he continues to be a jerk. He ends up subtly threatening me . What does he mean by "consider staying in your lane"
FTXCommando such a professional what a great PC-sarcasm implyed
