Correct, it's not a report per precedent (grossly negligent and not useful
enough to be a report). I can't, therefore, claim a reward for it.
I did work on referee quite genuinely (which is why I was sad to lose it)
and I never scammed w/ any previous offices (the most recent one was a
spur-of-the-moment idea and I even attempted to award myself 3,000 cards to
punish me for it, and will be carded for pledge-breaking), but yes, I take
your point entirely (and personally don't mind the swearing).
The deputisation was because I have a large quantity of balloons, the
election will soon be completed, and that seemed like a good opportunity to
use the hard-to-use resource for personal gain where usually little can be
found. I agree, though, that perhaps I shouldn't have done it. I tend to
act and speak very fast, which is fine on an internet forum in which
discussion happens, but not fine in a place where speech is also
technically actions.
Despite the horrific disgrace of a report I attempted to file, Herald is
not that hard of a position recordkeeping. Obviously I made a mess of
recordkeeping ADoP but those mistakes are easy to avoid.
Yes, yes you did. I forgive you, though. :P I've recovered from your mess, and
I'm actually a little bit glad I had to do all that instead of getting an easy
job, it really introduced me to the hard work that is sometimes required in
this game.
Herald is an
interesting position, I suppose, for memorializing the history of the game,
so it requires its holder to award titles when something suitably
historical happens. I don't think it's a wide-ranging policy role as
referee is, and I don't think it's scammable.
However I take your point, I do take it. I shouldn't have done it,
probably. I do take your point. I know the way I take this game is less
than serious, which can be at times a slap in the face to those who
recognize the decades-long history of the game with a lot of weight. I
don't mean to shit all over everything, and that's a tough line to navigate
with the other ways that I've played this game.
I've got 13 messages in the last 10 minutes. I dread them, rather.
It's alright, we all make mistakes. I think we all have acted too fast before,
and honestly I think we all might have just done that with the amount of
Notices of Honour that were just made.
