CAP 8 CAP 8 - Topic Leader Poll

all very good users

CyzirVisheen - Mostly because artists aren't recognised for what they do. Sure they do art, but they have to closely follow the polls, and get a good idea of what the Pokemon does. Cyzir IMO is CAP's best artist, and he can definitely pull it off.
Elevator Music - A very organised person. EM will never be late, and he will run things very smoothly if he is selected.
cyberzero - I'd like all of you to run the poll, but cyberzero just falls in third because he's already a very good CAP member, and doesn't need to 'prove himself' in any way, though I have no doubt he'd be very good.

The thing Elevator Music said about timing really sold it for me. cyberzero would make a great TL, but could always to it later. Cyzhir, while awesome, and the submitter of my favorite art last year, is a hair less qualified than the other two, and thus should put on a couple more projects.

I agree with GT somewhat in that experience isn't everything. I have known Elevator Music for a long time as a moderator of the server, and that alone makes him a strong candidate for the Topic Leader position... But, from the standpoint of posting history on the forum, I think cyberzero has demonstrated that he is would make the better Topic Leader (but not by much). He actively participates in project discussions, but I was especially impressed by his most recent Policy Review thread, which led to the justification section of Concept Submissions. After some questioning of its necessity, cyber put up a strong defense for it in his PR thread. The idea itself turned out to work very well, as it has already, from a moderator's standpoint, improved the Concept Submissions stage of the process. It greatly reduced clutter of this particular part of the proccess when compared with previous CAPs, and I think this is just one example of why I think cyber would make a great TL.

As for CyzirVisheen, I think he is a great poster and he is always fun to chat with in #cap, but his resume isn't quite as impressive as the other two candidates, despite dating back to the very beginning of the project.

I really couldn't decide between the first two, both have contributed a lot and have a good knowledge of CAP and the CAP process it seems. I pretty much chose Elevator here because of the current tally. I'm sure Cyzir would do a fine job but as its been mentioned the resume just isn't as impressive right now, maybe in the future.

Good luck candidates!
 
1. cyberzero

Always contributing and one of the most active people on the server. I believe this is his 3rd time he has put himself forward, shows he is dedicated to this role.

2. Elevator Music

Would be a fine TL but cyber is a bit more active and deserves a bit of recognition for his contributions to both the server and CAP forum.

3. Cyzir_Visheen

Your on the server a lot and you contribute some excellent artwork, but i am not sure you are as focused on the "competitive" side of the project.

Despite Cyzir's lack of competitive contributions, I believe he is the best candidate for leading the next CAP. I don't believe at all that someone who regularly submits competitive stuff will make a good TL. TLship is something that should be looked at not in terms of number of contributions, but innate, nebulous leadership characteristics that some people lack. Those some people will never be good TLs, even if they continue submitting. Fortunately for us, this ballot contains none of those people. All of the nominees have proven to me that they possess the aforementioned qualities.
 
cyberzero - I think that cyber has really proven his worth over time, with great activity on the server, intelligent PR posts and an incredible dedication. I think this is his time to shine.
Elevator Music - EM is truly fantastic and I can see him doing a great job. I just think it's cyber's time.
CyzirVisheen - Cyzir's resume isn't quite as impressive as the other two here, but he's always been a consistent contributor to CAP. I think that he'd make a fine choice.


This was an extraordinarily tough decision to make. :/

All these candidates are qualified, and the differences between them are so slight that I am listing them in an order that I feel is best. They have all contributed and have experience with CAP. My only regret is that 2 of them will have to wait

Sorry for voting now, but I'm terribly busy.
 
After the closest TL selection vote in the history of the CAP project...

Congratulations to cyberzero, the new Topic Leader for CAP 8!

CZ, please select an Assistant TL to serve as a backup in times where you need help keeping up the project pace. Make a post here regarding your ATL selection. After that, feel free to collect a slate of Concepts and open the Concept Poll.

Once you put up that poll, I will post a news item on the Smogon front page announcing the public start of CAP 8.

Good luck!
 
Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate it! I wasn't expecting this time to come for a few more CAPs, to be honest. As for my ATL, I'd like to choose CyzirVisheen.
Concept poll will be up soon, get ready!
