Questions for all prospective Coords:
1: What are your thoughts regarding PC Archons?
Iapos;ve seen the org go from "Okay PC Archons" to"no PC Archons" back to "okay"
My feelings are: "Congrats or my sympathies, but youapos;ve been noticed, now your PC is an Archon and is retired to NPC status under the authority of the Coord until such time as the Coord releases the Character and you can have them back with your Storytellers approval. Plus youapos;ll be the one that plays the Archon when the Coord needs it."
Which is different from "Congrats, youapos;re an Archon, now go hang at a a game or two until you do something stupid that embarrasses your Justicar."
1a: If you donapos;t like them, what do you plan on doing with the existing ones?
Phase out the ones that do not wish to become an NPC.
2: How long have you been a player in OWBN?
Since the very first game between NVA and Chicago where OWbN was created.
3: What is your stance on members of the Camarilla having Obten Out of Clan, where it wasnapos;t learned from a Camarilla Lasombra?
No problem with it, but youapos;d better have killed that Sabbat member after you tortured it into teaching you.
4: What is your stance on members of the Camarilla having Vicissitude?
Same as above.
5: Are there any Org Wide plotapos;s that youapos;re looking at instigating?
Probably, but Iapos;d like to discuss it with the Orgapos;s STs and see what they think about it first.
6: What state do you live in, and how often do you think youapos;ll be traveling to other games in the future?
I live in Michigan, just north of Detroit. The closest game, Cleveland, is 3-1/2 hours away.
I try to hit as many event games as possible on top of that.
7: What is your stance on Clan Combo Disciplines learned by non-Clan Members?
There are those within the clan that detest that it is being taught to outsiders, and there will always be those that do it anyway.
Tradition 7: Donapos;t get caught.
Personally, if youapos;re asking OOC mechanics - if you have the prerequisites and the printed WW material does not specifically say you canapos;t have it, then if someone wants to teach it to you, good luck :)
Just beware of those that may not want you to have it. Dark Alleyways can be a bitch.
Also, as with most everything, your ST has the final say. If s/he doesnapos;t want you to have it, youapos;re outta luck.
8: Have you been a ST/CM or held an Org position before? (sub-coord counts)
I have been a Coordinator for the Toreador for 1/2-term back in 2001.
Iapos;ve been a sub-coord for Admissions for about 3 years now, maybe more. I was also a sub-coord for the Toreador under Kenny Lull.
9: Do you feel that the "Council of Shame", being the bringing up of issues on the ST or Council list, is an acceptable means to discuss problems, or ask for blunt and to the point responses to things?
The prerequisite for this answer is to have been on Council or the ST lists. Since I have not been on either in the past 7 years, I do not feel I can answer this.
10: Is it viable to work through PCapos;s/NPCapos;s in one chronicle to "get to" a PC/NPC in another chronicle?
What is viable depends on what the PC/NPC-in-questionapos;s Storyteller says is okay to do. If the ST is protecting a problem PC, thatapos;s an OOC problem, not an IC one and should be dealt with through the Org.
Coords should work hand-in-hand with Storytellers, not against them.
