Hi guys! We have an application. pocokid is applying for the position of Majora's Mask.

So far, pocokid has been seen posting around the guild. He is due to appear in the upcoming "Whose Hyrule Is It Anyway?" taping. He also asked a lot of questions and even decided to postpone applying until, as he says, can get more active.

Please have all votes in to me by Tuesday, July 21st. Again, if you could add a short reason as why you voted the way you did, it is always appreciated.

Thank you everyone! And good luck pocokid!!!

pocokid
Ok, well im ready then.

I would like to apply for Majora's Mask, or an application for Majora's Mask, whichever works.

The votes have been counted. But, unfortunately, it is a tie. (YES: 2, NO: 2).

Therefore this voting has been extended. You have until Sunday. Please send in your votes before then. Thank you!

I regret to announce that pocokid was not voted in to become Majora's Mask. From reading the reasons as to why people voted no, it seems they feel he is ready for a part, but not necessarily a major character such as Majora's Mask.

I also appreciate one member writing to me that they feel it was unfair for them to vote on this matter.

YES: 2

Quote:
Well, I can't say I have any objection to Poco becoming MM....

He's been applying himself, he's even taking part in 'Whose Hyrule is it anyway?'.... Gyorg needs a playmate anyway XD

I'm all for it!

I vote yes for Pocokid. He does post and tries to be active in the guild. And he's nice.


NO: 3

This was an easy vote for me. While I do think pocokid is fairly active, I do not think that he is active enough to have the role of Majora's Mask. He is too major a character to have a semi-active member being him.

If you applied for someone else like Odolwa or Ingo or Dampe, I would have said yes because you have been a little active. But since your applying for Majora's Mask, my answer is no. I do not believe that you deserve this part quite yet.

I'm sorry I'm late. Life just got so darn busy this past week. And I still haven't really decided what to vote...

I feel half and half on this one. Part of me feels that pocokid isn't ready for a character. And the other part wants to be nice and say he's ready. But that's not fair to him, that I'm so wishy-washy with my decisions. I'm going to go with my gut on this one. I'm voting no.


Quote:
I don't really quite know how to vote. On the one hand, he is doing his best to be active. On the other hand, I don't really see him taking the initiative to do anything. And Majora's Mask is a big name to live up to.

Also, reading his application, I don't think he knows what he's doing. "I would like to apply for Majora's Mask" would have been great, but when you add that last part "or an application for Majora's Mask." it becomes disturbing. It tells me that he can read, but he doesn't know how to comprehend what he's reading. I know the character post says sendi n your application. But I also know that Midna's application was there for reference. And, Zelda says that he asked a lot of question and even postponed applying until he can get more active.

1) It's great he was asking questions. (assuming that he's asking questions regarding whether or not he can apply for Majora's Mask because he's not listed and not because he didn't know how to apply)

2) Midna's application was on the same subforum. Using that as reference, he would have known that he didn't need to tell us it is an application because...

3) We know it's an application, he doesn't need to tell us what it is.

4) Midna posted a lot when she first joined, not just on existing ones, but also created new posts for people to discuss and talk in. She also joined up in the Dress Up Link event right away. When Darius joined, he started a thread or two and posted on older threads. When the Dress Up Link event came up (he was too late to join even if he wanted to), he was very active in cheering on his fellow guild members. Other than posting in already existing threads, pocokid has not taken any initiative. For example...

5) When asked by Zelda to help with Dark Link's backstory (see discussions: Theories: Dark Link), he replied with "well i would do that but im not really a person who likes to write and it would probably take me several weeks or so to get a story
but if maybe you ask gogetthem..... "

So, not only does he not want to put forth an effort into helping out for fun, he even points out someone else. That implied to me that he's okay being a dead weight for the guild, reaping the rewards of the community, but not wanting anything to do with having to work for it.

I guess, all in all, my vote at this moment for him to become Majora's Mask would be a big no. But I do believe he should apply for another character like maybe Barinade. Not that Barinade's less than Majora's Mask in anyway, but I think maybe pocokid applied for Majora's Mask since he was the last boss of the game and, at first glance, people would think he had power than if people saw him as Barinade.

I think it needs to be explained to him that someone like Aryll is just as important and, sometimes, have even more power than Link or Zelda. Someone like Malon is very crucial to the guild. That Zant is not any better than Twinrova. I hope he'll be able to understand the intricate balance between everyone in the guild being equal and holding a character position as a privilege.


With this information in hand, I do hope that he tries again for another part in the near future. Thank you to all who voted. Please watch your announcements as I will be sending you a little thank you.
