I think in Shah's eagerness he did most of the things himself. Before he disappeared he talked about changing that.
We should vote for one Archon but let the Generals and Phylarchs run the show in any case.
NOTE: To be a super admin you need premium membership, which is probably why Shah was only a regular admin. Dryan already has gold membership, and I was meaning to get platinum membership for a while now, but just haven't done it yet.
An archon is the dictator of Athens. Of course he's important.
Well, I wasn't trying to sound rough. Anyway, when are you going to get a platinum membership, capt_hook?
I agree with your suggestion number 2.
I am a guard (genral) the kerkropis tribe.
So, I believe we should come to a decision soon. Get another archon, have no archon, have two archons, or other.
yeah. We should have another archon.

Since we are doing campaign speeches, are there any other members who would like to campaign for the role of Archon?
PS: I am still in favour of having only one Archon. My idea is much like the idea of having only one President or one Queen, but an active democracy and a cabinet of members taking care of important decisions.
I will, but I am not an admin .
husky, neither am I.
After a week and a half of waiting for jonathanstepney to respond, the chess.com staff member I contacted send a final message to him. Now we have to wait three more days and then we can get the ball rolling.
No salary. Only hard work.
Good luck with it Capt_hook. Peter pan is here to stop you. :D
There is no money involved in groups. Looks like you're a platinum member now, capt_hook.
Here is my voting idea: We find out who wants to be archon, we spend 1-2 weeks getting votes. (people who vote should give their vote to all the generals in a message, just in case no one is lying) After the time limit is up, a news article will be posted. The generals will post comments about how many votes did people get. The general who reveals got the most votes gives the person 1 general vote. the person with the most general votes win the campaign. Any suggestions.
ok.
Why not open a forum and let everybody post their vote in that forum?
You're are right about that. But why did we have phylarchs and generals in the first place when Archin Shah could do it. To make it more of a democracy and to lighten the load for archons.
