CVU: COE General Thread

The Nature and Function of the CVU Council of Editors (COE)

The COE of the CVU Universe serves to mediate canon-related discrepancies between users, approve wide-scale crossover events, maintain the integrity of continuity, and serve to rectify any unforeseen problems with the CVU. The COE shall be composed of 3 trusted users elected one at a time by the entire CVRPG community. In specific circumstances, such as the absence of a member or during Empire Claims, the Vice COE of 2 users (also elected by the community) shall serve to rectify any potential conflicts of interest or stand in for an absent member or members.

The COE will hear appeals from users regarding specific instances of rule implementation. For example, if a user wishes to ignore a rule regarding their "maining" a character before posting an event, the COE will evaluate that user's track record of following through on canon and making sure effort is put into crafting the narrative. If they find the user is trustworthy enough for this to be the case, the rule will be waived for this singular instance.

While the COE shall be an authority with regards to canon, they shall by no means have the final say when it comes to community discrepancies. If the community believes the COE has made an unjust ruling regarding any issue, their decision may be overturned entirely by an 75% or greater vote in favor of the pre-interference outcome.

The COE may vote in canon-related polls.

The Vice COE

The Vice COE shall be elected one at a time by the entire CVRPG community and will be comprised of two users. They will have two duties:

• Stand in for a missing COE member if necessary
• Serve as the defending local NPC forces during Empire Claims, if the nation being claimed is unowned.

Unless either of these criteria are met, the Vice COE has no more authority than a regular user.

The COE and Vice COE during Empire Claims

During Empire Claims, the COE shall judge the outcome of the RP and make sure the rules have been followed. The COE shall approve the commencement of an Empire Claim as well as approve the validity of its conclusion. The Vice COE shall control the defending NPCs. If conflict of interest is an issue, it will be dealt with on a case-to-case basis.

Election of the COE and Vice COE

Every member of both the COE and Vice COE is to be elected one at a time, and by the entire CVRPG community. However, bear in mind that the COE must be both active in the development of the world as well as knowledgeable regarding the IC developments. The COE will be very busy, in stark contrast to the CVnU one. It is not a task to be taken lightly in any circumstance. The COE members shall be elected by majority vote one by one.

A COE member or Vice COE member can be removed from their position by 80% in-favor community vote. Only active members of the CVU may vote to remove a COE member or Vice COE member.

Elections of the COE will commence tonight (12/28/2016).

The order of events will take place as follows:

1. Nominations occur for COE members in this thread. Users may self-nominate. In 24 hours, a single poll will be made with every nominated user.
2. The user who has the most votes after 24 hours becomes our first (of three) COE member.
3. A second poll is made without the previous winner, 24 hours from now. The winner of this poll becomes the second COE member.
4. A third poll is made without the previous two winners, 24 hours from the conclusion of the second poll. The winner of this poll becomes the third and final COE member.
5. Nominations occur for Vice COE members within this thread after the COE have been elected. A single poll is made with every nominated user. After 24 hours pass, the winners of those polls become the Vice COE members.

Alright, let's begin! Remember, everyone from the RPG community can vote in these polls, even users who will not be part of the CVU. To ensure that there are no cheaters via alternate accounts, please post the name of who you cast your vote for in the OOC of the first poll thread, which will be up after nominations have concluded.

One Last Word

Being a member of the COE in the CVU will not be an easy task. If you are elected, you will be an Editor first, and a writer second. You will be expected to be knowledgeable on the canon of CVU and communicative with the users. You must be easily reached and active. Remember this before nominating yourself or accepting a nomination.

COE as of April 7 2017

• Lichter
• Pyrogram
• Kaija

Awesome.

I nominate Surkit and Lichter for standard CoE as I feel they both offer something nobody else does for CV'17 respectively.

I accept.

Groovy. I accept.

I nominate @dreadstroke and @neon_leon / @puppet for COE. Both have an excellent understanding of story structure, interact with all users regardless of clique or experience, and are active / communicative enough to make this system work.

@lichter: No issues here. Looks good to me. :-)

Lemme go ahead and make my case as a COE member.

1. I've been around to see going on three universes. I know what fails and succeeds. Yeah I suppose I'm 'a vet' but only in the defining sense that I have been around a while and gained experience. With that experience I can offer some insight that the other nominees may not be able to. What might look like a good or bad never before done idea before I more likely than not have seen played out before and can weight in with that experience on the final verdict.
2. I don't have any bias towards anybody, and I don't have any loyalties either. But I'm on good standing with everybody. Which means it's a guarantee you won't see any bias from me, Discord guys, vets, anything in between, gets judged the same with assurance.
3. I'm blunt and to the point. I don't mince words, even when some people wish I would. This translates as far as COE to someone who will tell you flat and plain what the issue is with your choices and also help you correct course to make them more suitable to the new rules to ensure you still get what you want with as few sacrifices needed to be made as possible to do so.
4. While I may not have recently been active in terms of posting on the board IC, obviously I'm never very far away as I'm often OOC either here or on, Discord keeping an eye on things and my ear to the ground. I only spent maybe a month of a long term stint off the board in like five years of being here.

Those are my points I hope you guys vote for me.

/end speech

I nominate @lichter, @_reynard_ , and @pyrogram for CoE and @thisisgonnahurt for Vice CoE

@black_virtue: You get my vote. This forum needs at least one person who is not afraid to say things how they are.

@lichter: You get my vote. We may not know each other very well, but based on what I've seen you seem to have a firm grasp on things.

@paragonxxx: Thank you! Voting will take place in a poll thread, which will be made at 8:00 PM EST tomorrow.

@lichter: I would caution against using a poll for any official voting, or using strictly a poll without requiring people to also 'voice' their vote in the comments. Too easy to manipulate.

@nikoleta_strix: That's in the OP. :)

@lichter: ... I'll see myself out

@nikoleta_strix: No worries. Thanks for the concern, though!

@paragonxxx: Dope thanks.

I don't accept.

I don't care, at all, but this seems to be all the rage on the forum this week, and I'd like to have someone I trust on it's CoE, so I nominate @dreadstroke (again).

I accept.

Lichter gets my vote.

Just saying, I'd totally be down with being a Vice COE if people would support it.

I vote TheLegend27

God damn it lol.

I nominate myself for CoE.

I nominate Nox

I'm not voting Lichter cause he said Rogue One wasn't a good movie.

jk

I nominate @blitzkrieg_

I accept!

I nominate everyone.

Surkit, Lichter, and Blitzkrieg with B0G as Vice.

My nominations are Lichter Surkit and Myself(Az) even though I hate self promoting like that. I feel the three of us have the best chance of being unbiased, aware of the current status of things, and can act like civilized adults if we have to

If these nominations are any indication of how the polls might go, this will be very interesting.

I accept the thing..

Main-Pyro Surkit Az

Support-Nox Lichter ( this is not to knock either of them i just think they would be solid choices for NPC armies)

thats my two cents

@cassius_knightfall: Seconded.

Has Impero been nominated yet? If not, I'd like to nominate him for the CEO.

I'll accept, thanks.

I'm going to have to sadly decline the nomination. I have alot to focus on when it comes to my Empire and it's story line.

Happy New Year!
