Sure, I'll run. Wall of text alert.
I've been playing Grepo for an embarrassingly long time, with a registration date of Jan-15-2010, my first server being en1 Alpha. I have been around for every version of the game since the game was opened and played each version actively. I don't think many that know me would disagree that I put into this game more than most in terms of time and emotion. I've tried to quit many times and I've failed every time. The game breathes a level of competition that I genuinely do love and am quite frankly addicted to.
What I bring to the table more than any amount of experience or knowledge of schematics is consistency. Since my first real encounter with emboldened cheaters I have abhorred them. There are many above me that claim to hate cheaters, which is fine. I really don't think anyone was going to post here claiming to love them. However, far too often I think we see the same players that claim to take a hard-line stance against cheaters are the same ones that are knowingly playing alongside them and making justifications for their actions. I think the single greatest problem with Grepolis right now, more so than the end game or gold usage or attack alarm, is not only the rampant and widespread cheating throughout the game, but the indifference showed to and rationalizations made by players who aren't cheating on behalf of those that are. The later of which is really just a symptom of the larger problem in the apathy on the part of devs to use more sophisticated detection methods. How many have been told by mods that "they are aware of the problem but do not currently have any means of detection but the devs are working on a solution"? I was first told that over a year and a half ago, and today there are still no processes in place for some forms of cheating. If I am chosen for this role, that will be my single biggest focus - to ensure that those with the ability to do so are doing all within their power to combat the widespread use of unapproved devices aimed at giving a player an edge over another. There isn't an issue in the game that should take precedence over ensuring the integrity of it.
In a lot of ways I have already been doing something similar to what is described in this role. For a while now I have been taking my grievances to parties above those offered through the game mechanics because I felt as though player concerns were not being taken seriously. While I can't say anything substantial has come from it, I can absolutely say that those that have given me the time of day have been far more forthcoming and receptive to what is typically offered or allowed to have through the game itself. And those are conversations I would be happy to have in a more formal way.
While I fully recognize that I may not be the most well-liked player in Grepolis, I challenge you to find someone who cares more than I do. I think the person/people in this role should be angry. The game is in a state of decay and those with the courage to actually speak up have been ignored for a long time. If in the very slight chance that this system is more than just an arbitrary one and real change can come from it, I hope those elected are ones with real standards and will, when given the opportunity, speak truthfully to those who will listen about the real problems with the game, not just the superficial ones.
On a personal level, my vote goes to you, Bear.
