Senior Election Results – November 2005 The fourth seniors term sees a shift in power as Andy Townley joins Luke Greensmith on the Seniors board as Simon Gray loses some ground in the voting. Of course Simon is likely to still be heavily involved with the major decisions and events in OGC (after all, you get out what you put in!) but the major onus is now on the elect to ensure a smooth running of the winter events. Currently scheduled is a 40k survival horror scenario that sees Guardsmen trying to escape a zombie- infested city, this event being run by Luke Greensmith. Simon Gray is also looking to run a Warhammer based event called Vermintide with details to appear on the site soon, this being a prime example of how non-seniors can still organise and run events in OGC. Of course that means eyes fall on new Senior Andy Townley to put together his own running for the winter period, although continued development of the website is likely to be seen as enough for the moment. Luke Greensmith is also planning a Video Games based event for the winter, again with details to follow. The seniors will also have to plan for the Easter event, the success of Dissidence last year demands a repeat in 2006, this being the chance for grudge matches, Tournament preparation and socials as everyone gets together for the final time before the Tournament. In the elections themselves, Luke Greensmith picked up a healthy 78% of the vote, an advance of 16% on the elections in May, a nod towards his help in spurring the OGC Edge Hill group that have been very active on-line. It seems that Andy Townley’s advance (66%) is on account of the website development, the site has become the hub of OGC’s running and we all have Andy to thank for that. Simon’s decline on the other hand, down 18% to 44% is likely due to his distance form the core of OGC and the so far unsuccessful attempts to kick-start an OGC group in Leeds. There is the beginning of something there though so it seems that Simon will be bouncing back for the next elections. James Brown also made a re-appearance with him being off the voters minds for the least election. The next Seniors board meeting will be in later November/ early December and anyone is invited to come along and have a say and even vote on most issues, keep watching the site and OGChat from more information. Votes Luke Greensmith Simon Gray Andrew Townley James Brown [Note a new percentage system has been put in as the previous one understated the actual relative votes numbers! Basically because of the double voting system Luke obtained 39% of the total vote, but this is quite confusing so this is doubled to make an insular score. This is basically because the OGC voting system is a little weird, see the Senior information document on the website for more information.]
