Questions for Team *~SamAÈ~*

[Samantha14]

Welcome ToOers to the *~SamAÈ~* question page! Feel free to ask us anything you might want to know about ourselves, our term, our ideas. Really anything! (Except personal info such as addresses. You creeps. )

[bookworm]

Will you be posting your platform in City Hall?

[Samantha14]

We are indeed, I just haven't done it yet.

[bookworm]

What is the official pronunciation of your Team? Because È could be 'E' or 'ay'.

[Samantha14]

Well, it was originally pronounced E, but the way it's written can also be ay. There's not really an official pronunciation, per se. But it's however the person wants to. I use E, though.

[bookworm]

Of course there’s an official way.

[American Eagle]

We originally decided to be "Sammy", but dude, I'm really warming up the pronunciation of "Sammay". It's catchy.

[Samantha14]

Bookworm is too logical for his own good.


But, I have to agree, in all honesty. Sammay is really cool...

[bookworm]

That's how I say it.

[snubs]

And that's how I say it too.

[Tikvah]

What do you think of increasing the signature size limit like was discussed a while back?

[Samantha14]

As I mentioned, I do like the idea, and intend to go through with it.

Larger image size, smaller text limit. Everyone wins.

[bookworm]

Larger image size, smaller text limit. Everyone wins.

When did less text come into this? That's not an everyone wins. Clearly, those who want to use text lose.

[Samantha14]

3 limit if you have a bigger sig, 5 if not. I thought this was established?

[snubs]

Larger image size, smaller text limit. Everyone wins.

When did less text come into this? That's not an everyone wins. Clearly, those who want to use text lose.

Not if we had rules for less text with images than without. Or something like that.

EDIT:

3 limit if you have a bigger sig, 5 if not. I thought this was established?

Yeah, something like what Sammy said.

I could possibly write up some rules that we could put in a separate sticky?

[bookworm]

I personally think the current limit is overly repressive, I definitely don’t think it should be increased.
If it is only being changed for those who switch to the larger images then that’s different, but it was never clearly presented like that that I saw.
I’m unsure how enforceable that would be though.

[snubs]

Well, I still think we should have an official vote. just so we know where the board stands as a whole....we could always work on the text thing later.

If SamAÈ agrees, would you be willing to work with me on coming up with some kind of rules for the signatures? This way we could probably work in what your side wants and what my side wants? Then American Eagle, Sam, and Catspaw can look over what we come up with.

[American Eagle]

These decisions ultimately come down to Catspaw and/or the current admin team, so in truth, an 'official vote' wouldn't really be official. We are a republic, not a democracy.

I think we should do a straw poll to see what exactly ToOers want, though. I have no idea what the average ToOer desires because only those in favor of change have spoken out, but many voted against it prior polls.

Personally, I oppose increasing the limit. Shocker. I've run two shops here in town and I understand the struggle to fit creativity into 400x100 pixels. However, I believe that that sacrifice results in a tidier forum and it decreases the loading time for those of us with slow internet connections. That being said, I don't plan to stand in the way of progress.

This way we could probably work in what your side wants and what my side wants? Then American Eagle, Sam, and Catspaw can look over what we come up with.

Perfect. Having an organized proposal for the admin team is always a good way to get things done.

[Pengwin]

What are your views on the rights of puppets?

[Samantha14]

Puppets have as many rights as they want to. But seeing as they are not independent, it would be pretty useless.
