SNIP

I would really like to see other faces in EGO. We’ve had basically had the same eight people in EGO since the beginning and never a Fleet Captain. There should be a period of time, say five years, where all previous members of EGO are locked out to stop the popularity contest and allow at least some members that have been eligible but locked out for years the opportunity to serve. FCAPTs and above were awarded their pips for exceptional service to the club but many have been forever trapped at that point, either by not being in the “in crowd” or not being able to live in IRC/Discord. This, like the FCOMM situation, has to change or it becomes pointless and nothing more than another “old guard” cookie to be passed around only among the club’s aristocracy.

Jerome, I hate to do this, but… you need a dose of reality pretty bad.

You’ve been a Fleet Captain for 4 years. There have been 6 EGO elections in that time. Your question about having a ballot sent to you is proof that you haven’t voted in any of those elections because you simply haven’t cared to understand how any of them work, until now. And even then, you didn’t care to simply ask me after the big news item went up. I even wrote you when you sent your name to me to be on the ballot, that the ballot would be up on Friday. I checked, I looked at the email I sent you. I actually used the words: “You are eligible as far as I can tell and will be on the ballot on Friday.” Why didn’t you ask me this question on Friday or Saturday if you cared about it? Why is it a week and a half later, with you pretending that you are “just being curious”, when you obviously think there was some sort of conspiracy against you.

The only person who locked you out is yourself.

I have met your enemy, and he is you.
