PleaseVote in the following format:
Deke's vote for Player Committee = Apex, Drake, MasterBeru, rillon, The Consortium: Smitty
Deke's vote for Chairman = The Consortium: Smitty
17 Teams Received by RSI who are eligible to vote:

CR (Committee Rule) 1) The player with the most votes for Chairman will fill slot 1 [Chairperson] and that term expires end of March 2007.
CR 2) The player with the most votes overall will fill slot 5 and that term expires end of November 2007.
CR 3) The player with the second most votes overall will fill slot 4 and that term expires end of September 2007.
CR 4) The player with the third most votes overall will fill slot 3 and that term expires end of July 2007.
CR 5) The player with the fourth most votes overall will fill slot 2 and that term expires end of May 2007.
CR 6) During the month that the chairperson's term expires the Player Committee will select one of the remaining 4 players to be the next chairperson.
CR 7) During the month that any member's term expires the arena will vote for a different player to join the Players Committee.
CR 8) The Inaugural vote will be held in the forum. If RSI confirms that you have sent in a rollup team, you will be able to vote.
CR 9) Once the arena starts, if your team has [maximum number of fights -5] fights during the 2 months prior to the election, you can vote. Voting will be recorded in the Personal Ads.
Slot 6 will be elected at the end of March based on arena participation in January and February.
Slot 7 will be elected at the end of May based on arena participation in March and April.
Slot 8 will be elected at the end of July based on arena participation in May and June.
So if the arena runs 3 turns in January and February, the maximum fights are 15. Anyone with 15 - 5 = 10 fights during that time period will be eligible to vote for Slot 6 at the end of March.
And if the arena runs 4 turns in March and April the maximum fights are 20. Anyone with 20 - 5 = 15 fights during that time period will be eligible to vote for Slot 7 at the end of May.
Let's say that Wayne is the Inaugural Chairman in slot 1. He serves as Chairman in January, February and March. He will not be on the committee in April or May. He might be elected starting in June. He will not be eligible for the Chairman until the acting chairman's term is over. I have designed it so that the inaugural Chairman will serve only a brief term at the beginning of the arena. Whoever is the Second Chairman w ill likely have a longer tenure on as the Chairman.
Official Notice: I will run for the Player Committee slot 6. If I am elected I will serve from April 2007 to January 2008. I cannot run for chairman until the acting chairman's term has expired. This means have to serve on the committee for at least 2 months before you can run for Chairman.
CR 10) When the slot 1 Chairman's term expires, the first 5 players (including the retiring Chairman) will vote for a new Chairman, one of the 4 remaining players on the committee.
CR 11) The Chairman's vote is the tiebreaker in case of a tie vote.
CR 12) The committee can eject a player from the committee. If the Chairman calls a vote, AND the 4 other players all agree to eject a single player, that player will be ejected. There will be a special election to fill that player’s slot. The new committee member will complete that slot’s duration, not the full 8 months.
CR 13) If the 4 regular members all agree, the Chairman can be ejected as well. The 4 regular members must first agree to select one of them to be the new Chairman.
CR 14) A player can resign from the committee. If a player resigns there will be a special election to fill that player's slot. The new committee member will complete that slot's duration, not the full 8 months.
The following is my opinion. The Player Committee will be free to act on their own accord towards the best interest of the arena at large.
I see the Committee as having 1 obvious and 2 subtle roles in the arena.
1) Obviously we need to enforce the No-Tournament ban. The committee will work with RSI's support to identifying any Arena 81 warrior that is sent to the tournament. My goal for the arena is that no warrior that has gained extra FE, Skills, Prizes, etc be allowed to fight in the arena. I am looking to play in an environment free of outside influences. I think that any warrior that REMAINS in the arena after fighting in a tournament, or gaining a prize or other outside effect, should be sent to the dark arena until that warrior is dead.
If a player wants to use an Arena 81 warrior in a tournament, I would hope that the player would move the entire team out of Arena 81. If RSI develops some usable method for removing a single warrior, I would not be opposed to a player removing a warrior from Arena 81 and RSI sending in a replacement rollup for that warrior. I am not trying to prevent players from participating in tournaments; I am just trying to keep arena 81 a Tournament Effect Free arena. Who knows, maybe RSI will offer some Super Amazing tournament prize. I do not want to stop anyone from using an Arena 81 warrior to win that prize; I just want the warrior out of the arena after the tournament.
Players should be able to move teams out of arena 81 without penalty. If they want to start over with a new team, I say welcome (so long as they only have 1 team.)
I would expect that the Player Committee would meet after each tournament, look for offenders, hold a majority vote and instruct RSI to send the offenders to the Dark Arena on the next (and if needed subsequent) turn.
2) I also see the player committee as an oversight group to maintain the essence of fair play in arena 81. I have no issue with players that miss an occasional turn. My issue is with players that skip turns as a method to avoid challenges. If a player has legitimate reasons for missing a turn, I want to encourage the player to inform the Player Committee as the problem occurs.
The leverage the Player Committee will have is to instruct RSI to transfer a team out of arena 81. I only see this action occurring after multiple offenses, a warning, a post-warning offense, and a majority vote of the player committee. I do not want to stop a player from playing DM2 however they desire; I just want to stop them from interfering with managers who want to maintain a fair and open style of play.
3) Perhaps most important, the Player Committee should choose NOT to become involved with individual disputes. The five players of the committee should only address actions that affect the entire arena, not specific players. Slanderous personal ads, bloodfueding an Initiate with a Champion and downchallenging should not involve the Player Committee.
Other Player Committee Rules:
AR (Arena Rule) 1) If you miss a turn with prior warning & an outside-of-game reason (such as finances, vacation, etc) then no penalty.
AR 2) If you miss a turn & have an outside-of-game reason after the fact (such as delayed mail, forgot to give notice with an above reason, etc) then no penalty so long as it's not a regular occurrence.
AR 3) The first "unexcused absence" gets a warning. The second gets a Final Warning. The third strike means you're out.
AR 4) Unexcused absences drop off after 12 months.
AR 5) In this case an "unexcused absence" is anything that doesn't satisfy qualifications 1 & 2 above.

You know Wayne, you could have just voted for yourself, I wouldn't mind, and I know there wouldn't be anyone else that would.

Nomad = abstain
I hope this doesn't look like a cop-out (ok, it does) but I really don't know anybody well enough to vote for or against them. Pretty much everyone on that list has been a relatively frequent poster, but that is about all I know. If you want I'll randomly pick 5 to vote for and flip a coin for chairperson, but at this point I don't know that a vote from me means much.
