Please read the OP thoroughly before voting :). This isn't "law", and anarchy will still remain!
Trying to turn this:
Into this:
(Or the other way around!)

~ Preface ~
----------
So while I was banned I lurked and witnessed the "Episodes From Liberty City Debacle". It was an elongated and strenuous discussion not untouched with controversy. Midst the heat of the debate, I noticed our King, SolidTy, proposed the initiation of a committee that could oversee and vote on such matters once all competing interests provided evidence and/ or sound arguments. After a few mentions here and there, I've decided to take action and propose The System Wars Senate (SWS aka "Swiss" :P). This is also an idea that our beloved agentfred, Editor-of-the-Spreadsheet, would like to see implemented (please correct me if I'm wrong!).
----------
~ What is it & what does it do? ~
----------
1.)The System Wars Senate can be a body of 11 elected members that frequent (and hold interest in) the GameSpot board of 'System Wars'. If the majority of posters think we need more or less, so be it :).
2.) The SWS will have access to the System Wars Spreadsheet, but individual members can only edit it once they confer with the others.
3.) In times of controversy, the SWS will take into consideration, the evidence at hand and greatest arguments for the cases of "Game X", and vote together whether said title will be considered an "exclusive" or not. Outcomes will be made public and the Spreadsheet will be updated accordingly.
4.) The SWS can track the hype of high profile games and games on the Spreadsheet can be listed with official brands of FLOP(Ex: Lair [FLOP]) if they were to fail at reaching recorded hype. There can also be a retroactive update using the best of our knowledge.
5.) Mostly, the SWS can comb through the archives of GameSpot every so often and update the Spreadsheet if necessary. Believe it or not, there are a number of titles not listed on the Spreadsheet that belong there! Something my crack team of investigators have noticed (my dog; just kidding TREAL_Since).
6.) The SWS can update the Spreadsheet with NDS and PSP games as well! Why alienate our friends who game on handhelds? They're gamers too :evil:!

~ So who's in it? ~

That, my fellow System Warriors is left up to you! Here's the voting process:
1.) Choose the top 11 users you feel retains the ability to hold the position. Please feel free to nominate anyone you want, but try to stray away citing members who've been active less than a year. If you can, put a short description of each poster.
2.) Once voting ends, we'll select the top 22 nominees overall as candidates. Out of these 22, we vote for the top 11 who we think are best suited for the job. Those 11 posters will be granted the privilege to serve you :).
3.) If you don't want to be nominated please say so! It's up to the voter to know if users are running or not (edit when needed)! And try to spell the users' names correctly! I opt to vote for some great posters with level headed arguments. Some may own only one system, others all of them.
Here are my 11 nominations:
NOTE: You MUST vote for agentfred :D (the only hint of dictatorship :P). No ifs, ands, or buts! I'd also nominate the Spreadsheet creator, NerdMan, but he hasn't been active since late 2008! If you want in NerdMan, all you need to do is say so.
- agentfred - The editor of the Spreadsheet. Not sure about his owned systems. Forgive me.
- SolidTy - Teh King. 'Nuff said.
- Wasdie - PC gamer mostly and GUFU leader. To my knowledge owns a PS3 and 360 as well.
- Couth_ - Manticore shmanticore.
- jg4xchamp - Manticore and womanizer.
- II_Seraphim_II - Only owns a PS3 to my knowledge. No hints of fanboyism, but he does prefer Sony's games and system.
- lawlessx - A self-proclaimed Lemming. No hints of fanboyism, but he does prefer MS's games and system.
- ActicEdge - A self-proclaimed Sheep. No hints of fanboyism, but he does prefer Ninty's games and system.
- TREAL_Since - My brotha from the same motha. Manticore to the fullest and helped me with these ideas!
- Malta_1980 - Super duper cool guy. Owns all systems and even plays on handhelds.
- Kevin-V - The head honcho of GS staff. Likes to mingle with us from time to time and has great views.
Get to expressing your rights people!

- Determining "flops" will remain the same. They will just be updated onto the Spreadsheet.
- Determining "exclusives" will remain the same - by utilizing factual evidence and reasonable arguments by SW posters.
- System Wars will continue as it always has! Discussion will not die. It never does. There will just be more people to help out Agent Fred with the spreadsheet. There can be upgrades for FLOPS, HANDHELDS, and ARCADE GAMES.
- The Spreadsheet is NOT law. Never was, never will be. This is not an attempt to make it one.
- I proposed to name it System Wars Senate because it flows well. It's not necessarily final.
- The 11 posters that get elected must befriend (track) each other, if you're not already doing so.
-We could also have elections once a month, every 6 months, or year.
- A Union could be created to better communicate once deliberated.
-There is always going to be an element of ANARCHY, so we could certainly keep that as well. But at least the power would be in the communities hands, rather than those we never see, those behind the scenes (Factions). You know?
