Honestly, the reason I'm not voting is because it feels pointless right now. Naturally, people want change, they want change quickly, and they want to get the vote over with ASAP because of all the drama. But in the end, none of the systems are perfect and they're all some form of extreme.
If Option 1 wins, we're going to have a bad time. We're going to have a miserable experience because of some uncontrollable trolls and/or alt spammers. It might only happen one day out of a whole year, but it's gonna set people off. They're going to cry for change, a new vote, or leave. We'll end up having a new vote and probably adopting another (or old) system.
If Option 2 wins, we'll either rush our elections and have bad results that **** people off or we'll plan our election process, the politics will cause drama and **** people off. And, in the end, it'll probably lead to another vote to change the system by the time the next election comes around.
If Option 3 wins, people are either going to accuse Dethal of being biased and showing favoritism or else claim he's trying to be too "Politically Correct" in FC terms and selecting poor choices just to avoid stepping on minority toes. It doesn't matter how well he chooses the generals, there's going to be resentment from a lack of choice. And from here we'll either have someone demanding ownership of the FC because they think they can do a better job or--you guessed it--a demand for a new system.
Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.
