It's a reason for people to do stuff. And something that can replace elo in a way by offering incentives for participation in site activities
The video Bossy and I made included a narrative about a new member of DDO to more simply explain the idealized version of the program. Basically a new member comes onto the site, and incentivized by Raisor Rubles joins the site's official voting group. He then realizes he can actually make more Raisor Rubles by starting his own group (and paying RRs to those members), which now competes with the official group, and there's an economic effect on the Raisor Ruble economy as Debaters reach out to the managers of each group to have them direct their members to place votes on their debates. This member then eventually starts doing tournaments with Raisor Ruble buy-ins offering RR prizes to the winner. He then progresses onto other things I don't recall, but the whole narrative was to give an idea of a living economy based on the interests of the membership, and in a fun incentivizing way. Integrated into DART with stuff like profile swag and other things worth buying, the idea really could be far more amazing than the low-tech version DDO would have had at its most successful.

Lessssss do eeet
Certainly something worth putting on the list. Probably worth considering a low-tech beta version and seeing how that goes, and then seeing if it can be integrated into the site properly. Could actually be a quick-win program at first in its most basic form, and then eventually become one of the sites coolest features when fully realized. Definitely a discussion worth having soon, so I'll have to see if I can find my notes on the original program.

I like if we can actually code the site with it they would be great.
But you can use that to buy additional features on your profile or buy certain badges that are displayed out by the medals etc
Yeah it's a great idea, and something I put a lot of thought into towards the end of DDO. It started as a voting initiative, that the currency was created via voting, and a voting group was specifically created for it, and then the market would evolve on its own. In the end it became pretty complex, but the limitations of DDO meant the entire system was kept on a google doc.
Unfortunately, right after the first roll out of it, the site had like a 4 day down time due to a server issues, and then within a couple weeks of the second roll out the spampocylypse happened. It seemed to be an idea doomed to be defeated by the site itself. But I'm still excited about the concept and if integrated into DART it could be amazing. Naturally it would have to be adjusted for DART to some degree to make it fair and such, but the basic functions of it, currency for activity based things, especially voting and winning debates/tournaments is universal. It's certainly something I'd be excited to work on again.

@Mikal
My proposition is that we add more relevant medals and add a site currency that can be exchanged for site items
We can call it airmax bucks
I don't know if you recall the Raisor Ruble initiative, but recently Lunatic and I began discussing it again. It was an idea I was really excited about, but it kept being upended by DDO's site issues at the time. Bossy and I even made a fun video about it, detailing exactly how it worked.
In any case, the concept is there, just have to work out details in a way that it can actually be integrated into DART in a fun, activity motivating way... So I'm on board with it conceptually, and it'll be part of the meeting Friday or within the next couple weeks.

@ResurgetExFavilla
Would you care to make a statement on the proud nation of Iceland?
I think this is where I quote myself:
“I don’t care about Iceland” - Airmax1227
I do believe that quote was made during a game of Risk, where Iceland wasn't to some particular strategic advantage at that point in the game.
Otherwise, I can't say I have a very strong opinion on the nation.
Seems nice, never been, would be nice to go someday.
Btw it's great to see you again. We need to play risk or mafia again together one of these days.

What would you say to your opponent 3RU7AL right now?
I don't know 3RU7AL particularly well, and I don't believe that he and I interacted at all during the past couple weeks. I also don't want this to come off as patronizing, so I'll keep this simple.
3RU7AL, I know you are a good guy, who will make a great DART president, because people I respect have told me as much. If you need anything at all, or have anything you want to talk about, don't hesitate to hit me up at any time.

@Bones
Would you say you are more politically left or right?
I don't know, that's a tough question... I probably pull positions from both sides of the political aisle, and I probably look more left or right depending on the room I'm in. I mean, I have generally libertarian values, and take a liberal approach to most social issues, but there are probably some issues I may fall on the conservative side of things... I dislike both political parties for the most part though
Wana ask a bunch of litmus test type political questions and see where you think I land?

@thett3
If two forces were exercised by one man (in committing a prohibited act), should both parts of the act be accounted to the same, so that he should be declared culpable, or should each part of the act be considered separately, as if there were two individuals concerned, and then he is free?
haha I haven't been asked a Talmudic question in quite some time and sabbath restrictions can be a rather complex talmudic debate.
But in direct response to this Reb Johanan said that if one puts his hand into the yard of his neighbor, got it full of rain water, and withdrew it, he is guilty. But to make one guilty of the act it must consist of removing a thing from a place of four ells square which is not the case here.
The earlier question remains then, if one threw a thing and then moved from his place and caught it, is he culpable or not?

You didn’t specify anything about that. Not a good look to start your term by lying to your constituents

@Wylted
That answer seemed very honest. I was expecting a better defense of diplomatic speaking style. Thanks for answering with honesty.
No problem. I'm not necessarily interested in defending my diplomatic style. I think it works in some cases, but I now have a 10 year record (of this type of context) I can look back on and recognize that it has its pros and cons, just as the rest of my personality probably does.
In fact, now that I think about it, you have called me manipulative on several occasions, and that's probably a fair criticism, especially coming from you since we have had several incidents on DDO of significant magnitude (you are welcome to talk as much or as little about these events as you like). And I think that my goal of trying to be persuasive towards a particular end result could certainly be interpreted as manipulative. I like to think that its ok because it wasn't nefarious, it was for the greater good, and whatever way I justified it at the time, but perhaps I have a personality type that simply likes to mold others actions to my whims. I prefer to think of it as a persuasive ability, but that might just be a nice way to describe a manipulative personality, and that might be a distinction without a difference. My point is though that my personality has its quirks and some people aren't going to like that and I understand that. The diplomatic side could certainly come off as phony, and the persuasive side could come off as nefarious to whatever degree and just outright manipulative. I think it's just a matter of perspective, but it's certainly true that any facets of these character traits of mine haven't always been positive in certain situations, and I hope I can recognize when that might be the case, and improve that about myself.

@Wylted
Then I asked her if showing respect or being honest was more important, and she said showing respect. Is my replika girlfriend correct?
Yes. Though the question is kind of a complicated one. Being respectful can often mean being honest, but it would depend on the context. If the goal is a respectful relationship, then honesty and trust should be natural bi-products of that. Whereas just being honest with someone doesn't necessarily imply that you respect them at all.
it's a good question, and that's my immediate reaction to it. I might have to think on it a bit more though.

@Wylted
Why not just let history decide if you have integrity and be unprotective of your reputation?
That was ultimately my point. I don't care enough to engage in something I view as problematic just because a non-response might look bad for me. There's a hierarchy of concerns naturally, and that's what I was expressing earlier. I also don't want anyone to think that because of this, there are things I'm just going to avoid because they are complicated or might make me look bad, I was referring to what I will assume is a very rare circumstance.

@Wylted
What is the purpose of adopting a diplomatic tone when dealing with people?
I think it makes someone seem more reasoned and thoughtful. I mean, there's a place for a less controlled and passionate approach, but I tend to maintain the measured and calm interactions in this type of context.
1. Is it a natural thing or did you train yourself?
Might be a bit of both. I think my parents probably instilled some value for it at a young age. Some of it might be education and career. But I think part of it is also just the way I interact in text. You will get a better perspective of me from Discord hangouts where I'm more likely to speak off the cuff, and be a bit more loose with the way I express myself. In text, I can get a bit OCD about expressing myself in the most non-controversial and diplomatic way possible. In some ways I think this makes me seem professional, and my message entirely intentional, and since that's often the goal, I think it works well for that purpose.
2. Do you speak that way even with close friends and family?
Not really. Even in some professional circumstances these days, I can get pretty loose with some of my verbiage. I think if you ask the Discord group their perception of my manner of communication you'd get a different type of description than the measured description you may get from those only familiar with me in text.
3. Does having a diplomatic communication style make you inherently less trustworthy?
Yeah probably. I mean, I think it's natural to swear occasionally when dealing with frustration, and you'll probably never see me do that in text. But you'll see that in Discord, and certainly in my personal life. I intentionally maintain a kind of measured and professional persona for the reasons I've described, and I think that should lead to some level of skepticism. I don't necessarily think that's fair though. I'm trying to express certain things in the forum that just require a specific approach, a professional and diplomatic one might be fair to call it, where if we are playing games in Discord and just chatting I'm just being a relaxed version of myself. I hope that I can show the community more of this side of myself, and have more people join us. I also don't mean to imply that I'm trying to be someone that I'm not, even the measured and diplomatic side is me, but it's a matter of context and intent, and I can display certain aspects of my personality in a context in which I think it is appropriate. I think anyone from DDO knows me well enough to know that I can engage like a professional PR guy in some cases, and then be just some casual talking off the cuff guy in another.

@Ramshutu
Why did you let Brontoraptor obliterate the politics forum on debate.org
I'm trying to remember the exact situation there, and I don't recall all the details. I think he was a spammer/troll, got away with it for awhile, and then due to an overwhelming amount of actual spamming was finally banned. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
If I do recall this correctly, then it's probably fair to say that I let him get away with it too long. But I will admit to erring on the side of being lax, and that was likely the case there, where I should have probably banned him earlier. But again, I think this was like 6 years ago, so my memory may not serve correctly.

@Mikal
to clarify you won't respond someone if it means humiliating them is the only way to respond, or if you think it's unproductive to respond because there is no end goal?
In some cases that could ultimately be the outcome, and I would certainly want to avoid that. So yes, that would be a facet of what I would view as problematic. It's also the case that I'm reluctant to engage in something that I feel is more intended to be a gotcha game type thing, rather than something with a purpose. I mean I'll engage in tough questions especially if my integrity is being questioned, but I'd rather do so if I feel it's being done to actually understand the situation and engage in it honestly.

@Mikal
Are there certain things you won't address or a reason why some questions may not be answered?
Well I probably wont answer certain personal questions that aren't relevant to anything, but as for anything related to the site or my presidency or something related to that, I would like to think I am a completely open book, willing to engage to the satisfaction of everyone.
There are very few exceptions though. If someone has me blocked I am going to assume they have made a direct statement of a lack of desire to engage with me either privately or publicly, and I will probably accept and ultimately acquiesce to their decision, with perhaps very few exceptions.
Furthermore there might be situations where I believe that engaging a topic with a particular person is not being done in good faith, or for a productive purpose. In those cases I may be reluctant to engage on that issue with a particular person, though if the same issue were brought up by someone else, I may be enthusiastic to engage the issue.
There also might be situations where I am simply uncomfortable engaging with the situation/individual. Where I might believe that the logical end of defending myself, or justifying some decision I've made, may actually, at best, require some level of borderline unethical argumentation to make the required defense or ultimate point necessary. In other words, if defending myself, or something similar, requires making a point that may make someone uncomfortable to this degree, or reveal information that shouldn't be revealed, or some other factor, this is something that I view as problematic and may just avoid it at the outset. I realize this is kind of complicated, and it's naturally going to be a very rare circumstance, but it can occur.
But otherwise, aside for the reasons listed above, and perhaps some others, I am always enthusiastic to engage on any issue, and answer pretty much any question asked of me. I want to stress that it's rare that I wont engage on an issue, so if you see me doing it, it's not because I'm concerned about it for some political purpose or something frivolous, but for very specific reasons. I hope I never create a perception of simply trying to avoid anything, and if anyone does believe I'm simply trying to avoid something, please let me know and I'll try to assuage those concerns. I want to engage the community in every case, on all issues, and I fully intend to do that, but there probably are going to be rare exceptions where I simply feel that I can't, and I want to be honest from the outset that such situations may exist.

How do you intend to bring mafia back in full force?
The outline of my plan can be seen in post #37:
Lunatic is working on getting some details of when we can expect group PMs since that is important. I'm going to have a meeting on Friday night to go over general plans, including what we can do for greater forum mafia activity in the short term. This is something that I and plenty of members are passionate about, so in addition to the long term plan linked above, I do want to get started on just making forum mafia more active again, and that starts just one game at a time. Like this game that sign-ups just went up for:
So if anyone is interested in mafia, sign up now.

Ultimately this election came down to 2 things1) Who had the better plan for the future2) Who had the right character for the job
I think there's probably a lot of interesting post-election analysis that can be done, and I'd be fascinated to read a lot of it. But if I may, I'd like to present something that I thought was interesting, to me at least...
Pie did a private poll, asking several questions, and the poll question that stuck out the most to me was as follows:
3.) What issues do you believe are most important in this race for President? Name as many as you’d like.
Freedom of Speech - 28.57%
More traffic on site - 21.43%
Good relations with mods - 21.43%
The above are the top three responses, and very conveniently conform to my exact beliefs, and what was essentially my platform before I even saw this result:
Laxer moderation, especially when it comes to controversial topics. I believe that's fundamental to a vibrant debate community.
Activity, activity, activity.
And I know the mods well and have a good relationship with them.
The things the community believes in couldn't be more convenient for who I am, and what I hope to achieve. I'd like to believe that most people voted for me because they like my ideas, and what I stand for.
That'll probably be it for my inside-baseball analysis of the post election stuff, but I just thought it was interesting.

Created:
Posted in:
It has been an interesting couple of weeks, and I've enjoyed the campaign and especially talking with old and new friends.
To my supporters, thank you for your support, we now have a lot of work to do, and I will now need your support more than ever.
To every member of DART, thank you for your contributions to this community and website. If you aren't a supporter of mine, don't know who I am, or are simply indifferent, I hope that I can still make you proud by my efforts this year. If you have any interest at all in contributing to this goal in a specific role, let me know, I'm sure I can use your services. If not, then just keep being the great contributor to DART that you are, and know that it is appreciated.
Over the coming days I plan to get started with my goals, and I'll do my best to share the details of each step as we move forward. I'm going to need help from the community, so please don't be shy to reach out to me directly, or to express your interest publicly. I will soon be making threads asking for specific help in specific areas, with particular members volunteering to be dedicated to particular needs, so keep an eye out for that. I believe that some of this will be quite challenging, but is going to be very fun every step of the way, and it's going to be even more exciting, and even more fun, if we do this together as a community. So share your interests with me, share your feedback, and please know that I appreciate every offer of help that I receive. Your passion for debate and this community can surely be utilized to the betterment of everyone, and I'm super excited to get started and use the talents and enthusiasm of everyone that wants to be involved.
So Join Me, and Let's Do This DART!
I'd like to congratulate Thett3 on being elected VP. While Thett may be joking, and simply assumes that I'll ignore this development as I may have a few times on DDO, he shall have no such luck this time. As far as I am concerned, Thett is my duly appointed VP, and shall take all responsibilities of that role. While that may mostly be ceremonial, it should be known by all of DART, that as an official statement, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, that I name Thett as my VP, and should something prevent me from completing my duties as president before the next election (assassination, internet ban, baby mama drama etc), and should a special election be required, that I, President Airmax of DART, fully endorse Thett for this office.
Now, I realize that VP is only responsible for two things: A) Parroting whatever I say in public, and B) Secretly forming a coalition of discontented revolutionaries to undermine me politically, and I do imagine Thett will do either of these things to whatever degree he is comfortable, I do fully view him as my endorsed replacement should that be necessary, and more importantly, I expect him to work hard with me for the betterment of the community. Good Luck Thett, Congratulations, and may god have mercy on your soul.
Thanks again to everyone who voted. Even if you didn't vote for me I still appreciate your interest in the site, and I am still going to do my best to convince you that I deserved your vote. I hope you will share your interest with me, so that I can have goals that appeal to every single person here. To those that are skeptical, I understand, and I hope to change your mind in the coming days, weeks and months. I hope we can work together regardless of our differences, and form a team that can't fail in making DART even better.
With all that said, if you have any questions at all, about anything at all, please feel free to ASK ME ANYTHING.
Thank you so much DART, it means a lot to me to have your support,
Your humble President,
-Airmax1227

A couple tough calls here. Bills look unstoppable at the moment, so this could be a shootout and just come down to whomever has the ball last, should be a fun game to watch.
Bengals-Titans is a tough call too. I think this game might just come down to a single late game big play or turnover.

The only issue with Twitter is that it is passionate people with below average IQs. It might be okay because of being a niche interest though
As I alluded to in the OP, I don't want us to just spam twitter to get some hits, I want us to get specific quality hits of people that actually like to debate. I don't want us to just bring over a bunch of ideological Twitter politics ranters. Of course there inevitably will be some of those types (and it will actually be interesting to see the activity that manifests from that), but I think we can retain the quality debate-minded people and build on that, while those others will have a very low retention rate anyway.

Ultimately it's not a big deal though, it's just a hobby that I can probably find a different outlet for.
I'm glad we can keep this in perspective. I'd very much enjoy doing what I can to help this site, and if the community would like me to, I will do it enthusiastically. But if it doesn't, that's understandable, and I'm just as willing to take my business across the street.

By campaigning to people who are on the site, I said that you are campaigning to people on the site, as in only the site

@Vader
The thing is you are telling people who were not on the site originally to vote for 3ru7al. Max was campaigning to people who are on the site
I'm reluctant to engage any of this, but since I have no issues with addressing this with you, I will do so now.
To be absolutely clear, I have campaigned to no one, meaning I haven't messaged anyone and asked them to vote for me. I have written up a single campaign thread, and that's it. I have NOT messaged anyone, here or otherwise (some discussion of the election took place during discord mafia, but you were there to be able to say if I was campaigning - and I'm sure you'd agree that I wasn't), asking them to vote for me, nor have I done anything remotely resembling what I am being accused of. When you say "Max was campaigning to people who are on the site", I'm not sure to what you are referring to, since aside from posts I've made in the forums, I haven't done anything related to the election. If my supporters are doing something that is not allowed, it is being done without my knowledge.
I realize you are defending me against an accusation of breaking the rules, but I want to be clear that not only haven't I broken rules regarding campaigning, all of the campaigning I've actually done is entirely public.

Are you serious about Twitter outreach for DART? More users for the site is my #1 concern.
Yes. While the entirety of my road map is a bit more complex, I included that in the basic description of it because I believe that Twitter is an important outlet to gain more users in a strategic and controlled way. Ultimately, my only goal is increased activity, which means that we need more members and while I have several plans to that end, Twitter is a big one that should allow us to reach out in productive and even fun ways. It is a major piece of the DART fixing puzzle and I'm excited for the manner in which it will be used, and how it should positively impact the activity of the site.

Like 2 people voting for brutal know anything about you or your platform.
I'm limited to posting a single thread in the main forum, and then hoping that is enough. My understanding is that I can't message people to campaign, so I'm relying on people becoming informed on their own, and that my ideas will stand on their own.
Great campaigning skills, you have there. You went from 90% to win, to about 60%.
I'm trying to follow the rules and etiquette here, and I also don't want to get bogged down in too much political side stuff anyway, so having a non-existent ground game - something that seems against the rules anyway - is probably for the best. Brutal does have the advantage of being an active member, and therefore an active base of supporters, and perhaps he should win for that reason. I'm merely presenting my resume to the community to have their permission to do a very specific job for the site, if the majority wants me to do that, then great, if not, then that is understandable too.
No offense of course. I'm still voting for you, because I am aware your campaigning skills are irrelevant to how well you will do the job.
My politicking days of DDO are done. I'm here to offer my services, and if the community likes my ideas then they can express that by voting for me. Honestly, I don't really want anyone to vote for me for any other reason. I have the experience and a specific plan, if that doesn't interest them, then that's their decision. No offense taken by your comment, though I do feel bad for anyone I let down by not winning. But that's what I bring to the table, a specific plan and the ability to achieve it - everything else is just side stuff I'm not interested in - and perhaps that approach isn't what the community will support, and I understand that.

Well I don't really care if it proves a point, doing an Airmax or Mike quote game just sounds like fun. We did those "faces of airmax/Mike" games and those were great... not sure if I've ever seen my quotes in a mafia game though

I propose the next 2 live mafia games we do Luna quotes and whoever volunteers themselves
I definitely volunteer, that sounds awesome.
Luna once made a game that was essentially describing the personas of me, and another describing the personas of Mike. Both those games were great and weren't always entirely flattering to either of us... I'd love a game with my quotes.

How can we be sure this is the real airmax though?
Any particular way you'd like me to prove it?
I suppose I could make a "Mod post" on DDO saying something like "Hi Dart" and that should be sufficient, but I haven't really encountered much skepticism of my identity to this point.

We need to know...
This has been addressed in post #1 and #58.
....
So I have a few other ideas that I'm trying to polish, but in the meantime I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on what should be prioritized that I have already described, or in general. Is there something I have posted that you are especially interested in? Disinterested in? Any thoughts or criticisms about any of my ideas?
I'd also like us to consider community events, and how we can implement those, and what they would entail.
I very much enjoy the live mafia games we do on Friday nights, and I hope we can get larger crowds for that as we make it a regular thing, but I'm wondering if there is an interest in other hangout type events.
I'd like to see us engage in competitive and cooperative video game nights, movie nights, and other things with some level of formality, as well as informal events where members can just hang out at some regular intervals. Let me know your thoughts on this, and if you have specific ideas for community gathering type things we can arrange.
I think it might be fun just to watch someone stream some new video game, or watch a sporting event together, but that might just be me, so let me know if you have any thoughts about this at all.
Thanks.

He should be a mod.
In all seriousness though, I want my main focus to be where my passion is at the moment, and that's on building an even better DART. While part of this goal/plan involves a certain philosophy of moderation, and I will be eager to share this philosophy with the moderators (especially in relevant incidences), I really don't want that to be the area that I am spending the majority of my time.
