I'm known for rambling on with lengthy posts, so I'll try to keep this one short and to the point.

I haven't played MR for any exceptional period of time; I joined just over a year ago. My first account enjoyed a reasonable career as Lola_Delaney, while my second and third were placed on the backburner due to real life commitments. I returned recently to find a lot of changes, all of which - in my opinion - have improved the game significantly.

I believe that with things like this, it's just as important to have someone represent those players that haven't necessarily racked up years of experience, but want to make the very most of the game. I am one of those users; since my return, I like to think that I have put in substantial effort and would very much like the opportunity to offer even more. I believe a position on the PC squad would allow me to communicate across a broader spectrum, learn more about how the game is perceived by others and, of course, play my role in helping to support ideas that will benefit the game and its users as a whole. The PC squad plays a vital part in ensuring that users feel listened to and communicated with; it keeps them engaged in the game, and I consider that role to be a privilege.

So, while I don't have the same longevity behind me as other players, I think I could offer a fresh pair of eyes to user suggestions, not to mention full commitment to the suggestions forum, a thorough approach and communication to everyone who chooses to post an idea. As a newcomer, I can appreciate that some users may not feel confident enough to approach the suggestions forum - this is something I would like to remedy. Even those ideas that are not considered particularly good deserve a tactful response and explanation; I fear that lack of this may discourage some users from trying again.

As well as that, I'm online pretty much all the time, whether it's on my phone or the computer, so I'm always in a position to contribute my thoughts and promise not to leave anyone hanging :)

Give the newbie a chance - vote for Lola!

Seeing some of the discussions and suggestions I feel that you would be a good choice for PC. You are willing to listen to others and their opinions and if you feel they make a good point you acknowledge it and use it to change your own suggestion to what you feel would be best for the game. No responses I have seen from you have been about yourself but what is best for the game.

That is why I will be putting votes towards you and suggest others to look over some of your suggestions and responses and see if they feel the same way I do.

I am very grateful for the gesture, Typhon.

The way I see it, suggestions may come from an individual but the changes they potentially bring affect everyone. With that in mind, common sense dictates the importance of observing things from the perspective of someone who disagrees with you.

At the end of the day, the aim is to keep MR running at an optimum standard for everyone. As cliché as it sounds, without everyone, there is no game. It's as simple as that.

You will have my vote. I think you are just what the PC needs.

You'll have my vote. You break the mold of just voting for the popular coffee shop persona.

I'm very flattered, everyone - genuine thanks to all of you.

Even if I don't gain a place on the PC, I'll still be contributing nonetheless; that's why I'm here and it's what I'd like to do.

As I've conferred to her in private, I wish her all the best of luck in her nomination. As others have noted, she has a fresh perspective on the game and a fair head on her shoulders. She'd make a splendid addition to the PC.
