Welcome, members of the CAPASB community. The purpose of this thread is to inform you of the implementation of the soon to be created CAPASB Council / Committee. As those of you who have been around the ASB scene for a while know, and as news for those of you who are somewhat newer to the game, the driving forces behind ASB have slowly stepped back from the game, finalizing a transition that has been in progress for a while. The creator of the game, Deck Knight, has a life with commitments. The lovable dictator, SevenDeadlySins, is inactive. Alchemator is on a Leave of Absence. This has left something of a power vacuum in ASB when it comes to implementing changes to the game. The ASB council is the solution to this.
The goal and purpose of the ASB council will be to provide a body of ASB users that can rationally, quickly and efficiently judge and implement ideas proposed for ASB, without having to defer to one of the heads of the game for approval. In essence, ASB is moving to a more autonomous state. While the council will inform Deck Knight should any major game altering changes be considered, in all other matters the Council will have the authority to decide and implement changes.
While, part of this thread’s purpose is for information, it is also important for application. The other purpose of this thread will be for members of the community to apply for positions among the ASB Council, planned to contain 5-7 members for authority. Applicants must fulfill three criteria:
If you believe you fulfill the above criteria to a high degree, you may apply for a position on the ASB council. In order to apply, you must post in this thread indicating your wish to be a part of the council. In your post / application, you are expected to explain why you believe you are a suitable choice for the ASB council, and why the council selectors should consider you for the position.
Finally, this thread is also a place for feedback on this system. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to PM myself, Objection, or CMFP and we will be glad to answer your query. Other comments may also be posted in this thread. Good luck to all applicants and a hurrah for a bright future for ASB!
As a final note, even if you do not believe you should be part of the council, also post in this thread if you wish to be part of the group of people who selects the council members. While there is no guarantee you will be approved, the more knowledgeable objectivity the better.
