Fang Archbane resigned from the Treasure Keepers' leader position. Since he was still in his probationary period, he isn't granted the right to choose his successor. This means that there is a new job opening. Please open a new forum thread where the interested players can apply. Time period for submissions: 3 days from this announcement. Once the week is over, we will ask the community to vote for who they want, or think is most suited as Treasure Keepers leader. We hold the right for veto.

@ Mods please edit title spelling errors. Those were upps.

Well, I was in the TK under Seigheart for a while, so I'm familiar with the alliance and how things work. However, if I were to be the leader of the TK, I would make it more of a team effort (more specific jobs within the alliance). It is not my belief that the TK are purely there for delivering creatures and the like, otherwise they might as well be a postal service. A large part of the TK, in my opinion, is questing. Not just sponsoring the quests (note: I'm fluent in trade rates, so I feel I would sponsor fairly and reasonably), but creating quests and events as well (keeping logs, too). This might engage the community more. I'm quite interested in the community's feedback, too.
Thanks,

Hedge

I have been a member of the treasure keepers for a little while, and a member of the community for almost two years. I believe I am capable of running a clean and organized alliance. I feel like the Treasure Keepers under Fang Archbane's leadership lacked communication and organization, which led to alliance inactivity and a downward trend in quest sponsorships. If I were to become leader of the Treasure Keepers, it would be my first priority to keep all of the members networked and informed of any changes and messages from the Council or Mur. Additionally, I would ensure responsibility and accountability in the alliance by documenting everything.

I would like to suggest ZenTao.

While she was, initially, my first choice to succeed after me, I ended up choosing Fang because Zen was going through some tough times IRL.

I have asked her if she would be willing to post here, but she won't.

I think the community should see that she is the obvious choice. She was, by far, the most active and involved TK Member, besides myself. She took the time to learn, to suggest new ways of doing things, and seemed to care.

This is the type of person that should be leading the TKs, IMHO;

While I understand that Fang doesn't like this name change, I would like to encourage him to remember to keep his feelings at a halt when basing decisions he makes in the name of the Treasure Keepers. It's not fair of Fang to put an opinion out speaking on the TK's behalf when other members are unaware of it. The way I see it, being a Treasure Keeper does not entitle someone to some higher authority, it's a job in the service of MD and the community and that is it!

Hedge, Child, no offense to either of you, but I don't think you guys would make a suitable TK Leader. You were great members, did your jobs well, but I never got the feeling you were in it to help the community, but for the added benefits. Nothing wrong with that, everyone likes to be paid for their work, but that's the wrong reason to do it.

Question is, Is Zen available and interested? We need Zen to post

[Fang Archbane]

I second Seighearts nomination for ZenTao, as she was my original and only suggestion to the Council and Others.

[ChildOfTheSoul]

Although I am applying myself, I agree that Zen is the most suitable candidate.

[font="courier new, courier, monospace"]Thanks Seigheart, I appreciate that you and [/font][i]others hav[/i][font="courier new, courier, monospace"]e faith in me regarding my ability to lead the Treasure Keepers. To be honest with you, I was not going to post here, I felt as if I was being disregarded by counsel because Fang had said [/font][i]he wanted me to be next leader[/i][font="courier new, courier, monospace"] and being as he hasn't been on the best terms with the Counsel and getting some negative feedback here on the forums- I figure they would make sure he would not get anything he asked for.(Stay in the Hat Fang!) I had been to Mur's throne hall just a few days ago and was asked by Fang to take over the Treasure Keepers because life was making it difficult for Fang in leading the TK . I felt that this was a service I enjoyed doing as way of giving back and something I felt confident I could handle in a diplomatic sort of way and I accepted...But, the Counsel was being waited on to approve and with the announcement today for "Job opening for Treasure keeper Leader", I could not help but be offended. Long story short I did not want to compete for this position and seeing as others also want it I will do as counsel suggested let the public decide. Whatever your choice is, I will support what the population wants I needed to remember why I had volunteered to be a TK in the first place[/font][font="courier new, courier, monospace"] and it was selfless.[/font][font="courier new, courier, monospace"] [/font]

Ave,

I'll but up my candidacy.

With that also bare in mind that i'm just an human and have no illusions of being omnipresent so most of this will be a shared work.

After much deliberation I'll offer my candidature.

I'm Lightsage, I've been in MD for about four and a half years. I've been an LHO for most of those. If you think you run into me very little these days, you're not in the newbie area very much. Depending on the outcome of this procedure that might have to change.

As for my qualifications:

- I have/make the time to run the TKs properly
- I've been around in MD for a while, I have a pretty good idea what sort of result certain actions will have
- I know my way around the game mechanics
- I'm well aware of the value of rewards
- I have the connections to keep up to date with the values

Quite frankly, there have been a few problems with TKs:

- Twice the BMMORPG rewards have gone wrong, having to cancel the promotions associated with those is quite damaging for MD.
- Rewards were given for quests that were out of proportion. This influences the value of these rewards as well as disappointing players who consider having these an achievement.
- Offering to break a game rule in order to compensate for something entirely unrelated to TKs.

These sort of issues should be avoided. They must not happen as often as they have. MD relies on the institute TKs too much for it to falter.

In my opinion there needs to be a change in the way the TKs are run. TKs need to get organized.
