Congrats to those who made it. Glad to see seven were chosen. Can the OP be updated with the senator list?
 
Sorry about the negativity, but ...

IRC is important because honestly nothing tops real time debates. Forum debates are nice, but are often drawn out and don't very often reach conclusions. I put a few people that didn't use IRC on the UU council in DPP and quickly regretted it. It slows down almost every part of the process when things have to take place solely on the forums. That isn't to say I won't put anyone who doesn't frequent IRC on the Senate. I'm much more likely to put someone who consistently posts in the megathreads on the Senate than someone who never posts in them, but is on IRC every day. It's simply a complete weighing of UU community involvement. IRC is simply a portion of that involvement.

Secondly, obviously the apparent bias against those that struggle with English is an unfortunate downside of requiring voter explanations. But that's a casualty we're going to have to deal with if we want the most in-depth process as possible. I apologize in advance to anyone this screws over.

Search: posts written by ToF and reachzero in UU subforum between creation of this thread and selection of senate members.
Results: Four posts by ToF, two of which deal with the senate process and two more one-liners on Chansey being the best wall in the game. Zero posts by reachzero.

Lightning strikes UU twice ...
 
Well, Reach didn't make it, and ToF has 4 posts, which isn't 0
Also alot of stuff happens on IRC so you shouldn't just disregard it

I find your idea fantastic Blara and i am supporting it for now on!
This way the community decides the problem in a larger scale(suspects),while the senate does the delicate and more difficult job of finding the exact broken elements.

Anyway congrats to the guys who were chosen but i think that you should all consider Blara's idea.

Keep Senate the same and just make a cuttoff for the people to reach in the ladder in order to vote for the suspects,from whom the Senate members will ban whatever they find apropriate.

That's completely ignoring everything the two have done with the UU process for the past several years. Remember, it was a complete weighing process, and ToF had a really good application, including fantastic suspect paragraphs.
 
I think you missed the sentence after the ones you bolded Banedon. Let me state it again for your convenience:

It's simply a complete weighing of UU community involvement.

Just because I don't post in the megathread often doesn't mean I don't understand the tier or any of that jazz. It worked the same way with the Salamence DPP OU Council; you weren't required to post in the np thread to be considered, but thoughtful posts nonetheless would help out your application. It's not a requirement for the UU Council in a similar fashion, but rather it helped out weaker applications. If you have problems with the way the council was formed or selected, it's also a lot smarter to PM relevant members rather than bring it up in this thread; not only is it disrespectful but you're questioning the ability of Jabba and LN to make decisions for the tier. Not exactly the best thing for you to do...

On a happier note, thanks again for the selection, and also congratulations to my fellow Senate team.
 
With a controversial mon becoming a talking point, the Senate will need to convene soon to discuss it. Inactivity has become an issue, so we need new Senate member(s). Make sure you follow the guideline in the OP if you wish to apply.
 
YES

Some incentive to start playing UU again!

Perhaps that's why the ladder is so active o.o

Also, is there a deadline to apply? And how many spots are we talking about here?
 
Welcome the three new senators, kokoloko, upstart, and FlareBlitz!

Unfortunately new Senators means old Senators and leaving us will be reachzero, DetroitLolcat, and Moo. Thanks for your dedication these past several months and we hope that you guys stay committed (and recommit yourselves a bit) to UU and rejoin us in the future!
 
Thanks for the opportunity Jabba/others, I'll do my best and all that jazz. Congrats, Upstart and FlareBlitz!
