What's with all this "Do I Offend???" If you wanna be on the board, be on the board. Your goal is to make sure quality work gets rewarded, not making Peace in the Middle East.

I wonder if Im a deal breaker for anyone. If so, speak up

I'm waiting for you to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- or get off the pot before I decide to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- or get off the pot...

All jokes aside, I've got to ask the same.

Anyone waiting to commit based on whether I deuce or bail?

LT if YOU are someone's deal-breaker I'd rather not see them on the board. Just do it!

That like button would be handy now.

I don't think there is much opportunity to offend anyone over any of this. I mean, who got offended over the lack of pinball builds? If so, PayPal me, I'll make sure you aren't offended. Same goes for driving cabs.

The virtual pinball thing curled up and died so damn quickly it wasn't even funny. I always suspected part of the appeal was rubbing your disposable income into everyone's face, and now that you can slap one together a lot cheaper nobody seems interested. So theory confirmed. Plus they all suck anyway.

ChanceKJ · « **Reply #84 on:** February 05, 2015, 04:33:38 pm »

Um... Yeah, Also Canadian. Opt is right, the further west you go the cooler we get.

I also accept the nomination, with one stipulation: I don't care for drama or childish Internet political crap. I'll promise to be fair and compromise with everyone where possible. But I'm gonna be firm if anyone else wants to play games.

If this changes anyone's decision then I'm sorry. But I'm willing to work with everyone else if they are willing to with me.

They should make you a board member PBJ, anyway have to agree with this. I used to think I wanted to build a VP, not anymore.

So how are we picking a new board? Post your recommendations as to who should be on the UCA board. You can't nominate yourself and if nominated you have to publicly accept - silence is not consent. If you're nominated and you accept then presto-finito you're on the board. No voting thread, no rigaramole. Donkeskis. The fate of future UCAs is in your hands. This thread is yours, rules free. Speak your mind. Prior board members can continue to serve if someone recommends them and they accept. No limit on board members.

I don't want to back out if I accept. The thing with the no limit on board members is, if there's 10 guys handling it already, there's no need for an eleventh.

That's a facile argument. What you're saying is, "if there is work to be done, and someone else can do it, I won't."

If you're volunteering to be the board member that does nothing why even bother?

I guess you can read into it however you want. I run a dart league in my town. There's a lot of ins and outs and whathaveyous, but in short, it's a lot of work to run that league. And I do it alone. I don't see the UCAs needing dozens of people on the board when it can be handled by a few. Otherwise, you end up with people who don't actively participate, and then what the hell is the point of even being on the board?

The board is currently at five. Seven if you and Malenko decide to join. You're right, one person can do it. I have. The board isn't there to split up the work tho, the board is there to validate certain recommendations and discard others - so it's not just one or two people deciding how the UCAs will be run. It's there to ensure the longevity of the process. Your dart league probably has a set of rules, you - as League Pres or whatever may be the guy that has to say, "we're not doing that, the rules say this" and there is probably a book or something you can reference, but for the UCAs the rules are written in the sand. That's why I think a board is a good thing, not just about splitting up who has to do some posting here and there.

secondthirded. This was all too soon, too public, and for a group that wanted to pass on UCA, several don't seem ready to.

Maybe there are some plug-ins that help voting? This can't be there first group to do this sort of thing.

Considering the only two board members with more than a post in this thread are Yots and I, one would assume you mean us. I didn't get the impression we were clinging to anything and not sure what's too soon or too public. I'm with Neph

It can cut off whenever. I recommend we wait for a final word from Malenko since he's still listed as on the fence. Once he's in or out that can be it. Tying it to the UCA voting close date was arbitrary. I didn't think this thread would get legs for a while. I also think there is a fine batch of new board members and I can't wait to see how they run the ball.

Shi t, I know you're not talking about me. I'm ready to have this ---maternal-smurf--- off. I just don't see a point in dragging out the nomination process for so long. I also don't see an issue with it being public. The board should be all about transparency. that's why this is being done in a manner. No one's doing any backdoor deals to get onto the board or anything like that.

On 01 March 2015 the reins of the UCAs (to include the totally baller UCA avatard) will pass to the new UCA board. They are:

Vigo
PBJ
ChanceKJ
Opt2Not
Louis Tully
Malenko
Nephasth

They're it until they're dead, or quit, or whatever.

And to close my tenure as UCA I'd just like to say that this has been your friendly neighborhood DriverMan and I invented MAME. Peace out bishes!
