Title: War Generals
Post by: worldwideweb3 on October 05, 2018, 09:18:12 pm
Generals

For the upcoming war the Elements Council is looking to hire generals for the following 2 elements:
 :gravity Gravity :gravity ,   :fire Fire :fire. Generals will lead their team in War (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/war/). These are the main responsibilities:



Requirements for being a General

Not everyone can be a general. There are some minimum requirements to ensure that the person is serious about leading their team in war.
Spamming the forums to get those 100 posts is not permitted. All of the prior requirements must be supported with proof by way of a screenshot or link.

If you have questions regarding the responsibilities of a General, feel free to send a PM to me (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=6437) or any of the former Generals.

If you are interested, send me a PM (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pm/?sa=send;u=6437) titled "General Application". Your application will be shared with the rest of the council, and we will discuss the applications. Applicants are also required to state the elements in which they wish to general, in order of preference. Don't forget to read about what the council looks for in an applicant (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38397.0.html) if you haven't.

Applications are no longer being accepted.

Can I be general of life and one/both of these elements? Me or any general of another element.

The short answer is no, because one player should not have knowledge of two team's vaults. Hopefully someone will elaborate.

if you really need a Gen, i can volunteer as one. But i was looking forward to warring as a soldier for once. My preference would be for gravy since they havent won a war yet

Since there hasn't been an announcement of who the generals are, I'm assuming no one has been found yet...

I hope that the STANDIN Gravity General does a better job than I would have done if I won.





Thanks everyone for applying. After much deliberation, the generals are:

 :gravity InsignificantWeeaboo :gravity
[snip]

Huh. So can I get the "Not Master of Gravity" title?

Jijo and Iancu already told me that it was Iancu's job to find an Entropy General because of his retirement. Because he
couldn't find a willing one to live up to his expectations the problem got landed into the Council's hand.

It is really strange that it wasn't publicized that we are in need of an Entropy General, so it wasn't possible to apply for it.
I really do think that there would have been enough time to do that.

And why am I writing this post? You cannot really imagine how it feels to get discarded without a real competition.
As a newcomer and trialist I invested a lot of time into this game, into my beloved Element. A far more than healthy amount.

To get things perfectly clear: I'm not saying that the generalship should have been handed to me on a silver platter, no.
Entropy should have been treated like Fire and Gravity. If Iancu haven't found a suitable stand-in, then let people
apply for it. Without a possibility for application it just feels awful. And I don't wish you to know how this really feels.

iancu's chosen replacement informed us extremely late in the process that he was not suitable. Unfortunately, I won't be discussing anymore because it would be assigning fault when I don't know where it should be.

Similar issues will not happen again. Thank you.

It is with a heavy heart that I will have to compound the troubles of generals

Last week my wife and I put an offer on a house and it was accepted. The next 3 months will be the busiest of my life. I no longer have the capacity to General Water.

My choice is Spielkind, then RavingRabbid. Failing that, Shockcannon can take Water and Wyand will get Entropy I imagine.

I am so sorry for not speaking earlier, I didn't really consider how much an impact it would have on my time if our offer was accepted, which I was not expecting.

Also, congratz JCJ! The hassle will surely pay off.

I absolutely envy you. Sure, it'll be busy days, but these things matter so much in life. Much more than a Flash game. I wish you all the best.

No. It should not have been deleted - rather edited.

To be clear: Council is exploring all options in regards to all four available General positions. We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience or confusion.

I would also like to add, because I expect this to be a common concern, that this is not delaying War, as Warmasters and Council are keeping each other informed of each others' timetables.
