| But I have to agree with Halc, this category really should not exist - especially since such ones that are deserving will no doubt be honored in the [[Hall of Immortals]] (which really needs updating and review of qualifying). A review board selected by the GM of veterans who have been around for let's say 7+ year, could collect a list - vote on each member on the list - and submit it to the GM for final approval. That's my two cents --[[User:Tron|Tron]] 00:45, 6 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time) | | But I have to agree with Halc, this category really should not exist - especially since such ones that are deserving will no doubt be honored in the [[Hall of Immortals]] (which really needs updating and review of qualifying).

Revision as of 08:23, 6 February 2007
Are there criteria, if any, on who exactly can be added to this group? Halcyon 23:09, 14 October 2006 (Mountain Daylight Time)
- Kaine or someone who actually manages the list will no doubt be able to tell you more than me, but, from what I can tell looking at the list, it seems currently to mainly just be anyone who is an Elder.--Xanos 14:20, 21 October 2006 (Mountain Daylight Time)
last I knew, you got to be an elder by being influential. :P --Korras 18:10, 21 October 2006 (Mountain Daylight Time)
Yeah the current list of "influential" members has got to be a joke. --Shadow Taldrya 22:18, 5 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)
- Quit bitching and start suggesting. Sheesh - f*cking whiners. --
- Influential
- A person who exerts or can exert strong influence
When looking at the list, it should be asked: what has this person done for the Dark Brotherhood that made a difference to the Brotherhood? Example: Khyron, one of the greatest GMs - made revolutionary changes to the DB that can still be seen today.
Pretty much the GMs that are listed should be there, I don't see any need for any of the other GMs that have served. Some of those that are listed that served as DGM or HRLD, I believe are worthy as well.
To whom on the list do you see as not belonging or contributing to it being a "joke," Shadow? --Tron 23:28, 5 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)
So is it people that are influential to the entire DB, or to a House, or to a Clan? This page will fill up pretty fast depending on what you define as Influential. Can I ask how Michael Halcyon made an impact on the DB as a whole? Oberst, BF, Kaine, Muz, Trev, TT, Tron etc. Sure, all influential in certain aspects of the DB - but then so are 100 other people. The people that affect the entire DB would be the GM/DGMs basically. I just find it funny... especially since a lot of these "great" members added themselves. --Shadow Taldrya 23:41, 5 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)
PS: it doesn't say anywhere that people are supposed to nominate Influential Members... not sure why you expected us to do so without knowing. It says the list is looked after carefully by select individuals. Shouldn't they be determining who is influential? --Shadow Taldrya 23:42, 5 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)
I would just like to say that I don't believe we even need a category like this as there is no real "point" to it. Someone who is/was Influential will be known. Period. Past GMs will be known by many...those who did DB-wide things will be known by other members and be talked about. However, having such a category will just inflame discussion, bruise egos, prop up other egos, etc etc... Outside of GMs and certain DGMs there won't be a great consensus on who else is "influential", and as pointed out, most people on here put themselves on the list. So, in the end, what's the point?--Halcyon 23:46, 5 February 2007 (Mountain Standard Time)
Omitting the ones that should be there, the remainder are:
- Aristan Dantes - added himself
- Astronicus Aurelius Sadow - added by Kaine
- Corran Force - added by Sarin
- Cyris Oscura - added by Kaine
- Darth Vexatus - added by Kaine
- Kaine Mandaala - added himself
- Kir Taldrya Katarn - added himself
- Korras - added himself
- Maxamillian von Oberst - added himself
- Michael Halcyon - added by Kaine
- Muz Ashen Keibatsu - added by Kaine
- Sith Bloodfyre - added by Kaine
- Trevarus Caerick - added himself
- Troutrooper - added by Kromtal Stormfyld.
Now of those that were added by the person who wrote the article (the same person the article is about), the only one that has any right to add himself is Kaine. As the longest serving DCer and a member who did make great advances for the entire brotherhood through the office of the Herald he is deserving.
But I have to agree with Halc, this category really should not exist - especially since such ones that are deserving will no doubt be honored in the Hall of Immortals (which really needs updating and review of qualifying). A review board selected by the GM of veterans who have been around for let's say 7+ year, could collect a list - vote on each member on the list - and submit it to the GM for final approval.
