A couple o' questions...

Nothing too terribly big, just something that I'd like to know about...

What exactly do you have to do become minister? On the site, it just says 'prove yourself' and 'donate time to our cause'. What exactly do you have to do to prove yourself? Just be an all-around good person on the forums and help spread the word of google? =P Just wondering, since the site doesn't really specify. I might even try out, when I get more interested. xB It seems I'm on a bit earlier than other ministers...

Another thing....What's with the reputation things? It seems I have 542 on one post and that bumped my rep quite a bit. How much rep can you give someone at once? Does it matter with how high a rank you are, like junior member, senior member, etc? And does anyone actually give rep? I know I don't really even consider the reputation points unless the post is something I really agree/disagree with....I'm not sure if everyone else is the same way.

Just a couple of things I was wondering about. I might post here again if I come up with more questions, but I think this is it for now...:3

Reputation is more or less vanity thingy.

Post count matters - in an indirect way. There is no particularly set limit as to "over 300" posts, and you`re minister, but if you wanna be minister with ten posts, they`d better be profoundly-groundshaking opuses.


As for being a minister... More or less, it equals to posting on board regularly for several months (two-four, depends) and being an all-around agreeable person (more or less).

There are no specific ways to become minister, per ce. For example - I`ve practically shouted my way in. Some other people had no idea they would be ministers, until someone (usually me) sprang it up on them - "Hello, you`re a minister now. Please say hi in the lounge.".

Ordaining is per vote from existing ministers. Once someone nominates you, every minister votes, and if outcome is positive, you`re ordained.

Simple enough?

Ah...so basically, you just be good, stay active and eventually someone might vote you in? Wow, sounds simple. =P Thank you for explaining.

NP.

You could also theoretically get in sooner by contributing - writing articles for the blog, for example, or something like that, but I can`t guarantee nor suggest anything feasible at the moment.
