2014 - 2014 Special Elections - AHC2 - Peter DiGravio
Introduction and Background:
I've been with One World by Night since my freshmen year of college in 2000 when I joined Columbus in Darkness. OWbN served as my first introduction to the Vampire the Masquerade product line and live action rp in general. While I've been fairly vocal about my opinions regarding game in the past through podcasts and such, I've decided to seek a more active role in OWbN upkeep and growth. Like many of you I spend a good chunk of my personal time one way or another with OWbN and I want to do my part to see to it that all of our experiences are the best possible.
I make a point to attend as many national events as possible and do my best to enjoy the national game as much as I do the local scene. While I thoroughly enjoy playing the part of antagonists, I do so understanding that each of us are a part in a larger story and all pieces are necessary to make that story worth telling a year from now.
I’m not interested in out of character flame wars or a pointless war of email attrition. Emotional investment is best left in character and neutral assessment and resolution of problems are needed in administrative decision making.
Introduction and Background (Portuguese):
Administrative Experience:
At Ohio State I was president of several student organisations focusing on academic achievement and a massive recruitment push that left it with record membership numbers for that decade by the end of my undergraduate term. I then went on to sit as the president of the alumni arm of the association for seven years following my graduation. The opportunities for leadership application during those years have given me a robust management skill set that I have drawn from time and time again.
Currently I organize several video game/rpg/sci-fi social meetups which I use to recruit for our local One World by Night game and reinforce a healthy and cooperative gamer culture in Columbus.
Professionally, I've been with my current company since 2006. I've grown our entire online sales division from scratch and overseen our transition into a certified e-waste recycling center that handles national numerous national cooperation clients. This has provided ample opportunity for me to apply creative solutions to new problems while sticking to schedules and observing enforceable guidelines and practices.
During the war with the Reapers I was able to secure a war asset rating of well over 7100 and while I really enjoyed the Geth, their unfortunate sacrifice allowed me to see to it the reaper threat would never plague the galaxy again. RIP Commander Shepard.
Administrative Experience (Portuguese):
Personal Statement:
OWbN has some of the best vampire I've ever seen, though sadly it often takes place out of character instead of in game. I staunchly believe World of Darkness products were not created with any intention fairness and it is that mismatch that leads to games becoming an engaging and passionate experience. With that in mind it is critical to the health and enjoyability of One world by Night that organizationally we provide an even and impartial environment for administrative issues to be resolved.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank Eupolemo Castro for translating my application.
Personal Statement (Portuguese):
Goals:
To support a fair out of character environment and keep One World by Night fun. I have no desire to reinvent the wheel but I would like to see a level headed attitude applied to problems as they arise and fully utilize existing systems and resources that have already been pledged to One World by Night.
Goals (Portuguese):
Para dar suporte a um ambiente OOC justo e manter a OWbN divertida. Eu não desejo reinventar a roda, mais gostaria de ver uma atitude baseada nos problemas quando eles surgirem e utilizar os sistemas e recursos existentes que faze parte da org.
