On the contrary, I could care less if he was on the off-site prior to this election. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt BECAUSE he could bring a fresh perspective.

Another option would be to have researched our team prior to this election and understood our strengths and weaknesses and come with specific ideas on what he could bring to the table. Basically there has been too much talk about what someone did in the past and not enough talk about what they plan on doing. That's my opinion at least.

Okay that makes sense...I have answered the questions as they come, however, I have researched the team, and have ideas. My plan all along was to use the pesonal thread I get after the field of candidates is reduced to 5 tonight to outline my thoughts on that.

That will be my conclusion in this Election to give my take on the team, what it has, what it needs, and what we can do to make it better.

Well, it's not a "clique", so to speak, but i find it really hard to vote for someone that i don't know his tactics or personality like i do with people that are on the offsite, so I'm much more likely to vote for an offsite member, and i think others feel this way too. And i don't really have anything else against Jason, so that's the biggest issue.


I agree but that is what frustrates me...
I feel like we've heard a large amount of ... OMG HES NOT ON THE OFFSITE.. and not just ask him about what we dont know whether it be his tactics or personality... You know what I mean?

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

yeah, but I much rather see them in a real gameplanning situation, having to deal with many different factors and viewpoints from others than just saying what they would do. There are so many variables in this game that I find just saying what your tactics are here is kinda pointless.

Yeah that would be ideal maybe we should Have like a Primary next year where the candidates understudy for an NT manager during the last few matches before the elections

The offsite thing is more in reference to activity with the NT program. If you want to discuss the tactics we are using, you need to be on the offsite.

yeah, and actually, I think a primary type thing would be a great idea, be able to cut it down to 2 before the the final election.

True, but I think a fresh perspective could be good. Community is something that can always continue, but sometimes tactics need a fresh perspective because as a community in the offsite you talk about it and debate and a lot of people get on the same page and start patterning everything the same way. So do we need a continuation of that and someone knowledgeable of what we have been doing? I don't think so. Does that mean Namssor can't break the mold? No. I just want to see something fresh presented next season....what exactly is it I want to see? I don't know...but I think we need to break our mold in how we think tactically. I say we like I've contributed a ton...lol...I haven't tactically, but I've soaked up every game plan and that's what I'm referring to I guess.

This is correct, but if we vote someone in not on the offsite, how do we know their tendencies and their knowledge of our rosters, two key elements in gameplanning?
