Title: Motion to open Dean elections
Post by: St Oz on September 21, 2015, 05:33:49 PM
Obviously it's over due and I hope to maybe see some more life in the college. I give my well wishes to whomever takes the torch.

Would be nice.  Taijitu has been strangely inactive lately.

Taijitu had been strangely active before that. This feels more or less normal.

I'm tempted to run for the position, but I would probably do nothing, or end up turning the University into a kitten sanctuary or something.

DAMMIT, I might be interested.  What does the job entail?

I've noticed the same, unfortunately.  I've been trying to figure out what was the reason for the upturn and have come up empty.  :-(

I'm slightly convinced it may have been due to...me.  When I was elected Liaison, I was doing so much stuff that I brought you all into the action somehow.  Now that we have Orri (who I'm slightly convinced is going to become inactive) as Liaison, and he's not doing as much, he may be bringing the Taijitu community back to its inactive roots.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you humble-brag!

Some of the regulars are busy with other commitments (education, jobs, conspiracies, etc.). The substantive contributions to the forum are predominantly writing, which tend to be posted rather slowly. We've never really had a tradition of moderately active discussions on the forums (politics, etc.) or the usual forum chatter (unless you count the now-resurrected Daily Poll). I'm not concerned as long as the world-building community does not collapse entirely. 

Also, since the regional government is more or less settled, there isn't much left to do there either (this also happened last time we had a revival, so it's no surprise). Without meaningful controversy, the forum government just has nothing to do except re-elect itself.

Take a look at my most recent post for my thoughts on this.  :)

Also yay new Dean. Someone can probably just open a thread, considering how overdue this election is
