nepeta100 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 So I was always wondering since a lot of the seniors at my school are graduating who would take the place of president of gaming club out of the four people in the club that aren't graduating that consistently go to meetings I thought I was practically a shoe in due to the fact that I went to almost every single meeting and stayed for the whole length of almost every meeting. In addition I was the only one that was a sophomore the rest of the remaining members being freshman. The person that ended getting picked as I found out today was a freshman that on average goes to half the number of meetings I go to each week. We meet every Wednesdays and Saturdays at 7. I am annoyed that I didn't get picked but I can somewhat understand it if the current president personally knows and trust this person to run the club better than me but there is next to no actual evidence to show who would be better for the position not only I have no idea how this person is going to go about recruiting new members at future club rushes because our clubs is going desperately need more members if the club ever wants to go to events like Sakura Con or get new games. Based on my experience with him during our club meetings so far this school year I personally don't think he would be the best personality or be the most motivated president for this club. Who knows in the end he might actually a good one this is mostly speculation but it does not take away from the fact that the whole situation still irritates me. At the very least I hope this new president allows me to be some kind of vice president or consultant because I still want a say in the future of this club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halloween Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 As far as I can see, there's only one way to solve this. Holmgang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I understand that it is upsetting when someone who seems to be less deserving than you gets something you really want. However, I'd encourage you to give them a chance, as it is possible they'll actually do a really great job and you just haven't seen the good in them yet. Definitely don't let this drive you away from something you really enjoy, and try to continue to enjoy it as much as you have even though you aren't the leader. If you try to stay a positive member of the club, people will respect your opinions even if you aren't officially the leader- so keep on participating and give suggestions to the new president, and hopefully everything will go alright.

Dark Desire Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 if you really wanted president that badly, probably should've gotten to know the former president a lot more xd idk how he went about choosing but personal bias could've easily came into factor there, since this is high school we're talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted April 24, 2016 Support Squad Share Posted April 24, 2016 You're in a gaming club, how do you not settle this with a games tournament? Is this not common sense to anyone else? EDIT: Mortal Kombat this beeatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepeta100 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) if you really wanted president that badly, probably should've gotten to know the former president a lot more xd idk how he went about choosing but personal bias could've easily came into factor there, since this is high school we're talking about update/mini rant it actually is a college club and it turns out that the main reason for why he was chosen was sociability which is technically true but I don't know if that necessarily trumps how easy it is to get along with the person. In the many club meetings that I had with him at least 50 percent of them he personally did or said something that he knew would get on my nerves. Even if he doesn't signal out any of the new club members like he did to me this year there's still the fact that his general personality might be off-putting to members and there's the fact that he would still most likely pick on me which would ruin to some degree an otherwise good meeting for me. Like I said before he has not really shown nearly enough dedication to the club. Again I hope he proves me wrong and I'm going to my part to boost the popularity of the club as a sort of vice president which has not actually been confirmed if ill be one yet, but he does not have much time to pull it off before club rush next school year Edited May 19, 2016 by nepeta100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
