If that's the case, then my first Act of Office will be to straighten out this
voting mess. There are so many people taking votes that no one knows what's
going on or who to send them to. Do you know what this reminds me of? All the
individual regents of a certain game we all love scrambling for the Iron
Throne. :)

Unlike the emperorship, however, it doesn't really matter who collects the
votes, so long as it gets done in an organized fashion. So, at the risk of
overstepping my authority here, I'm going to make a completely arbitrary
decision. This decision is not made out of favoritism, and I hope that none of
the other volunteers will feel slighted. I seek only to facilitate the voting
process so that all of you can move on to the really fun part of this project:
creation.

SO--I hereby declare that Ian Hoskins is the official vote collector. From his
updates, he seems to have collected the most votes so far, so he might as well
finish the job. If you haven't already voted for what city you want to
develop, send your vote to:

hoss@box.net.au

If you have already sent a vote to someone else, send it again to Ian (this
should eliminate potential duplication that could result from other collectors
forwarding what they have).

All that having been said, I want to make it clear that I'm NOT volunteering
to coordinate this project. With the campaign setting relaunch and the whole
Shadow World story arc coming up, I just can't devote the time it would take.
Also, perhaps it's the former teacher in me, but I believe this online city
should be *your* city, built on *your* ideas, and I wouldn't want to influence
it too heavily.

However, this project clearly needs a coordinator, a single person who has the
authority to say "Send your votes to so-and-so," who will keep track of who's
doing what, and make other announcements to the list. It also needs a steering
committee, DMs in charge of certain areas.

So, I will help you this far: If you are interested in being the Overall
Coordinator, send me a private e-mail by February 5, with
the subject heading "BR Overall Coordinator." If you like, you may also
include a statement of NO MORE THAN 200 WORDS to distinguish you from other
candidates. I will compile these and put it to the list for a vote. If you are
interested in being on the steering committee but not the Overall Coordinator,
please wait until the coordinator is chosen and then contact that individual.
Once the coordinator is chosen and the steering committee established, you're
on your own. That doesn't mean I won't advise you on specific questions you
may have; it just means my active role will be over.
