New Players
- Me and My Wife
- Sir Arthur
- Jewkarting
The reason Jewkarting is getting added back in despite being voted out my an overwhelming majority last time is because there were votes for a RCT representative, but not a single person specified what they meant by that. Please make sure you specify in future polls because we are not very creative and the two players we had to come up with last time were both voted out (Dracula and Cats).
Music
| Category | Keep | Not pleased | Replace | Remove |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anthem | 15 | 6 | 3 | - |
| Goalhorn | 18 | 4 | 2 | - |
| Doomguy's goalhorn | 21 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
The goalhorns will stay as they are. The votes for the anthem were not all that convincing, but the majority wants to keep it so it will stay. We will come up with a better way to vote about it next time. What we can do is that if we ever find music we think could go well for a match, we will use it as an anthem instead of a goalhorn.
Permanent Players
The option to have permanent players was put up to vote. We picked the 3 most popular players in the team's history and let the people decide whether they want to give permanent status to all of them, some of them or none of them.
| Player | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|
| Doomguy | 12 | 2 |
| Kacho Arino | 12 | 2 |
| CRT | 10 | 4 |
We took this feedback into consideration and looked through past poll results and we've come to the conclusion that Doomguy is the player that deserves permanent status the most, followed by CRT. The reason CRT doesn't also get permanent status is because he didn't do as well in this question as the other suggested players.
Ways to keep the board informed
Due to the twitter option being by far the most popular, we will try to be more active on it. This is relatively easy when the cup is on, but is harder in the off-season. We will post updates and announcement regularly during cup time, and in the off-season we will try to post updates semi-regularly. Maybe monthly.
