Smash64 ambassador

[TANK64]

That method is what I was hoping for!
Full explanations are win

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

Everybody can express his opinion imo, that's the whole point of debating.

Thank you.

I change my vote to Mahie for being the sexiest European alive! But seriously, I even think gav deserves it more than Near lmfao...

 

[Thino]

how about we just put Near since (almost) everyone agrees?

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

I wonder if gav or smasher paid for a server for everyone to play in, then would everyone be voting for them? lol Flaming aside, what are near's "qualities" that would make him a good leader other than just paying for a server for Smash?

 

[NixxxoN]

Dude you seem just biased against near. No personal isses here thnx

 

[Gammelnorsk]

none of u are ready for this lol

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

Dude you seem just biased against near. No personal isses here thnx

Yes, it's no secret that I completely disagree with near even being considered, which is why I would like to know what his "good" traits would be, other than simply paying for the server of course. How about people actually provide their REASONS for choosing him instead of pointing out how much I "don't" like him? lol

 

[Skrlx]

I hate this so much.

He's helped run large tournaments on here and hosting a server is probably the biggest thing you can do in the smash 64 community since the majority of people play online. He contributes much more than the average member and keeps things in check.

I believe the same thing about surri besides the fact that instead of running a server, Surri is a mod.

Also, if it doesn't bother you, can you change the font or change the color of your posts. Its annoying to read.

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

I hate this so much.

*Off topic*
-Is the reason you permabanned me from the server because I disagree with you becoming ambassador? That's the only thing I can think of because I've honestly done nothing to be banned... That being said, I voiced my opinion about you not becoming ambassador AFTER you permabanned me so what's the REAL reason?

*On topic*
-Actually, my vote definitely goes to Blue Yoshi because he's a pretty nice guy and seems very committed to the Smash community. Also, he endured all that "hate" when people were like "OMG HE BEAT CART?! GTFO!" and handled it like a PRO. Good job Blue!

 

[Frogles]

i'm not convinced on near/blue yoshi. i know near runs the server, but i'm not really aware of the "important" stuff he does around here. i don't even know who blue yoshi is lol. instead of us just throwing votes around why don't people who want to be ambassador make a post explaining why they'd be a good choice instead of just coming out saying "i play 7 smash games vote me".

i don't think it's too much to ask for. =P

admins look down on that

 

[Superstar]

Look down on what, selling yourself? I doubt that.

And Unknown is being very, very, biased.

 

[Skrlx]

The more you boast on why you should be in X or Y the less chance of you being in X or Y


Anyways I'm pretty much to the point where I don't really care anymore. If I get the ambassador spot then sweet and If I don't then oh well I'll just continue doing what I always do and that's have galaxy 64 up etc

And yes Unknown is being biased. Surri as well.

Good luck to all

 

[Frogles]

why would admins look down on that? how else are we supposed to make a decision? ill be honest. it seems to me that people are voting for you because you run the server and i honestly don't know why people are voting blue yoshi other than the fact that he nominated himself early and said he plays all smash games. i see people say "near runs the server and does a bunch of other important stuff". what is that other important stuff?

and as for everybody saying calling unknown biased and saying he's against near, just ****ing tell him WHY near would make a good representative. prove him wrong instead of just being babies and telling him hes mean.

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

I'm being biased yet I provided legitimate and TRUE reasons as to why near shouldn't be an ambassador? I think it is everyone who posts people without reasons who are being biased...

This isn't a popularity contest, it's for the GOOD OF MANKIND! AMIRITE?! lawl... But seriously, if you have something constructive to say regarding people who actually WANT to become ambassador then post. However, don't post hate against me or anyone else voicing their opinions in a civil manner.

I agree with Frogles.

PS - rofl@"AdminsLookingDownUponThat"

 

[Superstar]

The reason I say Unknown is biased is because in almost every post he's slipping some nasty comment against Near. Instead of just saying who's better, it's all "better than Near better than Near better than Near".

It's not so much that he doesn't think Near would be a good choice, it's that it's like he's out to insult Near because he still holds a grudge from when "Near banned him that one time".

Admins look down on people nominating themselves and giving reasons for mod. "Ambassador" will hold no real power. Hell, I don't even know if JV even thought about it in this way, might have just been using that word.

 

[SmashThugZ]

I believe I should be ambasssador for our little but thriving Smash 64 community because I know I would be the perfect candidate for it.
I can say Im a very unbiased person; if anyone disagrees, we can have a talk and see why that person thinks Im biased.
A couple years back, when the Emularena Grounds was still up, I was one of the admins there.
I showed no favoritism and held no grounds for people I disliked, liked, or just plain didn't care about.
If anyone disrupted the server, I would administer the proper action, whether it be kicking, muting, or banning.
I had a lot of people who disliked me, but I never showed fault in it by abusing my admin abilities.

As for being known, anyone who knows Isai should probably know the asian guy standing in the back.
I actually try to look away from that fact; lately, I've been playing on Kaillera again as alias "John".
People would badger me with questions and comments about who I am, who Im trying to imitate, but I just ignore those negative comments and left it alone.
This isn't gloating or being boastful, I can't change the fact that yes, I am Johnny•MC. And, Im not trying to be rude or anything when I don't respond to questions such as "Are you Johnny??".
I just dislike people giving me a different treatment when they realize who I am. Two-faced people, so to speak.

I've only read about Near and Blue Yoshi through their and everyone else's posts.
Thank you, Near, for spending your own time and money to host a server for all us fellow smashers to have a place to be in. It's very generous of you to do that for everyone. But generosity aside, I, too, wish to know why people are voting for you so much and standing by your side.
And as for Blue Yoshi, I've no comments. I don't know what he did or does that's contributing to this so I won't say anything.

As for playing all the games, I don't qualify under that condition.
I only play the first game, never liked Melee or Brawl other than the target testings.

And to be serious here, Im not trying to be your ambassador or anything. Im just trying to prove this point.
You say the admins look down upon you guys telling us why you think you're qualified. If that's the way the world works, then why have resumés when you're looking for a job?
Then whydo internships have interview topic questions such as "Why do you think you're best qualified for this position?"
And I might be wrong, but I think the admins would rather see what you have to say for yourself rather than reading through pages and pages of PMs and this trash-talking thread to find out about you two.
Who knows you better than yourself? Surely, not Unknown, Frogles, myself, nor anyone else here.
If you think you're really qualified, then by all means, pursue it. Don't expect others to do it for you.
I wonder how Obama got to be our President. Hmmmmm.

 

[Mahie]

...

Seeing this post made me want to vote for you as the ambassador, I don't know if you were serious about wanting to be ambassador or just trying to prove your point though. If that was for the second option, then it was a success.

Edit : I had misread the last part of your post. You really were trying to prove your point.

2 long didnt read

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

"Near banned him that one time".

Actually he PERMANENTLY banned me for no reason. I don't know, nor does anyone else know. Can someone ask him in this thread, seeing as it would influence how we view his decision-making choices?

I believe I should be ambasssador for our little but thriving Smash 64 community because I know I would be the perfect candidate for it.

I don't know. Maybe a list of reasonable "candidates" should be made with reasons listed under their names?

 

[MattNF]

I wonder how Obama got to be our President. Hmmmmm.

was that random political comment really necessary?

 

[Zen Yore]

if i was in usa i wouldve vote OBAMA cuz OBAMA = COOL

also who votes unknown
i do

 

[Gammelnorsk]

i dont

 

[SmashThugZ]

It wasn't random. It was there to show that Obama didn't just sit around and let other people do all the work.
Just because he so happens to be our first African-American president, are you assuming something?
I only used him as an example because he is our current president; if McCain was our president right now, I'd be using his name in the example as well.

Another good example would be my old high school, with all the class presidents and stuff.
All the candidates ever did was put up posters saying "Vote 4 Jose 4 class prez!"
No ideals, no beliefs, no aim or goal, just pure popularity contest.
See who has more friends who can put up more posters in more spots on the school walls.
Right now, this situation is exactly that.

 

[Deleted member]

never mind

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

also who votes unknown
i do

I vote Zenyore AND UNKNOWN! 2 votes for me whoop whoop!

i dont

Reasons?

So you're first saying that McCain did nothing and Obama did way more to win the election, then you say had McCain won, then you'd be saying he would have done more, but according to what you just said Obama actually did a lot more. Which is it? There's only one way out of that hole you dug, let's see you figure it out

Regarding the example you gave comparing this to a popularity contest, I 100% agree.

 

[SmashThugZ]

I didn't say anyone did more than the other. It was a simple example using the name of our current president and how the name in that example would have changed if McCain is our president instead of Obama.
You guys are misinterpreting the original point of that comment I made.

 

[Frogles]

Near is an ex-abuser of ssb64 by changing his gamecube controller deadzone so he can do humanly impossible DI in order to gain a cheap advantage

if you are going to "elect" him to speak "simple messages" to MLG go ahead although my opinion of him will never be anything else other than an immature hacker unless he opens up a good west coast server

what does him opening up a west coast server have to do with being ambassador? >_>

 

[WOTG]

if i was in usa i wouldve vote OBAMA cuz OBAMA = COOL

Wrong. He's amazing, best President ever!

So you're first saying that McCain did nothing and Obama did way more to win the election, then you say had McCain won, then you'd be saying he would have done more, but according to what you just said Obama actually did a lot more.

Umm... There's no reason to debate this

No offense to other nominees, but I nominate S2J, Nintendude, or Surri-Sama.

S2J and Nintendude are both intelligent and good debaters, who are active and well-known.
Surri-sama is already a mod-representative here, and despite how some other people react to him, seems like a cool guy.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

...wow... has simply electing an ambassador turned this community onto itself?

Lets put it this way... the only thing the ambassador does that is more special than anyone in the 64 community is be the messenger between us and the admins. It's not like he has any special powers or anything like that. The community would discuss what changes we think should happen, come with a final conclusion, and then our ambassador sends it to the admins. Really... it's nothing to fight over about.

I usually avoid posting in threads like these (threads where all that happens are flames and arguments), but seeing as this is a thread that will affect the future of the smash 64 community, I have no choice but to try to help find a solution to the fighting.

Well... first off, for every person we have nominated, there are people who disagree (and they all have their own reasons... even on me). Second, personal opinions are being thrown into play... by many people, not just one.

...

We are trying to improve the 64 boards... and the only way to do that is by discussing changes and seeing what makes the most sense. For what it's worth, we can vote for the ambassador at the end, once we have decided on what changes we want, and this ambassador can send the change proposals to the admins.

Seriously, deciding who is an ambassador is nothing compared to what we are going to be doing, so... for the time being, lets stop the arguing and discuss the changes we want... and come back to this after. As we go through discussing the changes that should be made, we'll see who contributes the most, and go from there.

As for people who have helped the 64 community, here's the list of people that helped create the matchup chart:

Contributors

Blue Yoshi
cheeseball341
Daedatheus
DMoogle
Earthadept
Fireblaster
Firo

neaR
Nintendude1189
Nixxxon
P D
s2j
SheerMadness
SuPeRbOoM
Superstar
Surri-Sama
t3h Icy
Thegreginator
Zen Yore

Everyone here put in the effort to create the chart. It's in alphabetical order, not in order of who did more... (so me being on the top was just coincidence, nothing special).

So... what do you guys say? Hold off the ambassador decision and discuss changes?

 

[Deleted member]

he'll win my vote if he does

 

[Superstar]

People like Blue Yoshi because he's a cool guy and not afraid of anything.

And I agree with the last thing he said. Hold off the "Ambassador" thing. Heck, we probably don't even need one.

 

[Thino]

personally I think the whole "lets nominate the one who contributed the most to the community" is ****ing this up

how about just choosing someone who is ABLE to do it and not because someone hosted 6745465 servers or did 545648766 matchup charts , tournaments , combo videos , TAS or any other minor things that can be seen as contributing to community?

or else everyone is gonna bring whatever he did to help the community and its not gonna end

 

[Frogles]

...wow... has simply electing an ambassador turned this community onto itself?

it's because the community is immature and incapable of making rational decisions. unknown brings up some legitimate reasons for why he's against near and people jump on him and call him biased for having an opinion. all while just voting for people they like and think are cool.

the ambassador may just be a messenger, but we'll want a messenger who's able to take what we discuss and turn it into a well thought out statement/proposal to whoever he has to answer to and to not make everybody look bad by losing his cool and responding like a child when somebody disagrees with/trolls/flames him.

Blue Yoshi should be this messenger thingy. I think he's capable enough.

as for changes, i guess the most wanted one is defenitly to have SSB64 to get his own section like mehlee and Barwl.

I'm losing interest in 64 and don't want to be a rep of something I don't think deserves one

Nintendude got weird lately

Surri is a very questionable person and is unpredictable because sometimes he'll be your best friend or a mod that infracts you for "one liners"

 

[Blue Yoshi]

...Seeing as nothing is going to happen unless someone makes it happen, I'm creating a new thread to discuss the actual changes we want to have.

Agreed. Who cares who helped create a matchup chart? Also, I assume there are many other people who "contributed" to that matchup chart who may be disappointed that they weren't included... lol Screw it, let's all vote Smashergav

 

[Blue Yoshi]

My point was we were going nowhere with the ambassador discussion. Plus, the changes themselves is more important to discuss.
