It didn't seem right to ask for volunteers and have them wait a year to serve, so what we wanted to do was take one new name and one name from the top of the list until everyone served.

As it stands now, I think it would be Sugarplum, you, vison etc.

But it wasn't there an hour or so ago, at least I didn't see it. Something strange is going on here. :P

Was there something weird going on? I noticed you locked those threads.

Hmm.. I mentioned in the Mayorial thread that I would be willing to ranger, and the offer still stands. :whistle:

I'm a little concerned that the ranger terms are all ending in a clump, in mid February. It might be better to stagger the terms. You could start to get on that schedule, by hiring 4 new rangers in mid Feburary, but have two of them with two month terms, and the other two with the usual three month terms. Then hire one or two more in March when spaces open up, for three month terms. Thereafter, all terms would be three months. Then you'd have 6 slots filled this way:
Two on this schedule: mid Feb - mid April (2 mo), mid April - mid July, mid July - mid Oct, etc.
Two on this schedule: mid Feb - mid May (3 mo), mid May - mid Aug, mid Aug - mid Nov, etc.
Two on this schedule: mid Mar - mid June (3 mo), mid June - mid Sept, mid Sept - mid Dec, etc.

Which would work out perfectly, until it all came crashing down for some reason. :P

Is the ranger pool and the jury pool the same thing?

Ranger Pool

Jury, Mediator, and Loremaster Pool

We decided to get rid of the Michel Delving forum, so I started moving things out of it. Those two threads are both in the Business Room. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. :)

Looks like I'm back on the boards for realz, so any time anybody needs the most emotionally detatched ranger in the history of moderating to make a return... ;)

You may want to actually read the ranger pool thread at some point.
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5947" target="_blank" target="_blank

If you do you will see that your name is near the top of the list.
:salmon:

In fact you will be rangerized sometime between now and the 16th of February.

Serves you right. :P

I know it's difficult to find replacements for Rangers but there is something I hope we can move back to considering: timezones. Before we always tried to have at least one Ranger in the European timezone. At this moment we don't have that:


Holbytla, Rebecca, Riverthalos, TheMary, Lily Rose, vison

All are at least 5 hours behind and asleep whilst I want to contact a Ranger.

Just something to think about in regards to those of us on the other side of the pond. It's always possible something could happen when the rest of you are asleep! :P

I tend to run late into the night but yeah, something definitely happened while I was sleeping. ;) Part of the problem is holby and Rebecca are occupied this week, Lily and TM are very quiet, and so vison and I are effectively the Ranger team and I'm GMT -5 and she's GMT-6 (and presumably keeps saner hours that I do). Anyway, we have Europeans and Brits in the Ranger Pool. Pips and Tosh are on deck for the next Ranger term. We prefer to have real 'round the clock Rangers, but sometimes we're stuck with who's able and willing to do the job at the time. :shrug:

Ideally it would be nice to have rangers around the clock, but with the scarcity of volunteers it isn't a likely event. Rebecca and I can be a bit more online if needed, but the times will be sketchy. Like right now we are off to DC then dinner with Elsha, so we won't be back until later tonight.

If you want/need to there is no reason we can't rangerize the next people in line. Seeing how our term is almost through with, why don't you rangerize the next people in line? Actually tonight, Rebecca and I will rangerize the next group and set things up and give us some time to transition.

Just for the record, I said twice, recently, that I would be willing to be added back into the Ranger pool. So if you don't want me, :razz: And technically, I did not serve on the Jury - I was an alternate. (But in real life that gets me out of Jury Duty for a year, right?)

Laureanna I left that up to Rebecca and she dropped the ball. I will personally see that it gets done.
