If he doesn't post here, how can I know how well he'll represent my concerns to the devs?
Shorrim, allow me to repeat my earlier post in thissame thread:"I believe you have the wrong impression. Corbantis is simply showing our support for a member that has provided countless hours of professional service and genuine congeniality. Irregardless of the position requirements, I am sure many individuals applying are aptly qualified. Perhaps examining Buckman's post again, you will understandthe validity behind ouradmiration for Jon-Ari."
We have simply come here on our own behalf to generate support for an individual of whom Corbantis believes is well deserving of the position. Would the reaction and retorts have been any different if several of the other servers did the same? More specifically, your server? Take a minute to think before you leap....
Although I very much do not wish to encourage continued discourse over all of this (as I've said, it's all been blown out of proportion at this point), I wish to disagree with the first comment you made when you said Jon-Ari never asked to have folks post in here ("never was this asked by him"). That very statement is made in this thread on the Corbantis server forum. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT vouching for anything else in Shorrim's post, I am merely stated that Jon-Ari did, in fact, ask to have folks post in here to show their support. It is the fourth line in that post. I am only posting this to inform you, as you implied Jon-Ari never asked to have people post here, when in fact his post does just that. This is only to provide you this link, should you not have seen it. You posted in the thread, so you have seen it, but I just wanted to clarify this point. The rest of your reply is between you and Shorrim.Again, I want to reiterate my best wishes and best of luck to all candidates, and I remain confident the Devs will select a Correspondent who will represent us as we deserve to be represented.
Shorrim's original post stated:
"...he encourages his non-musician guildmates to come and spam the Musician forum and denigrate the forum community. ..."
That of which he never requested. I considered this issue stale but to have it revived was inexplicable. I believe you have been admirable, Warryyr, in containing the topic. However, I am unable to stand by while verbal misconceptions are posted. Bottomline: enough has been said. Let it go.

Apparently from the reactions of some of this forum's regulars, it appears to have something to do with selecting someone that can take all of your collective b!tching and still attempt to combine it into a cohesive and viable statement to the Devs, so that they can actually make some progress improving the game while the remaining armchair correspondent wannabes practice their sarcasm inbetween AFK macro loops.
This was totally uncalled for and is not true. I would think that if your preferred candidate is as good as you clsim he is, that he would be ashamed of this responce from you.
P.S. I have looked at posts made by your preferred candidate and I have noticed that while he has seldom posted here on the musician forum, that he is aware of our issues and would make an acceptible correspondent... but then so would Lilo, Doasa... and any of a number of other names that have come up.

/agree
Just wanted to clarify your comment that was put after "encourages," and thanks for doing so. Didn't want anyone to misinterpret the point you were making.

The Musician forum has been spoiled by having one superb correspondent from inception. The Dancer forum has been spoiled by having three equally fabulous ones . . . .
Shhh... don't let anyone *cough* devs *cough*start thinking that entertainers are spoiled. Let them keep spoiling us with fixes...
