Term 3 Council Applications Now Open!

Apply here! Info on the Council is at the bottom of this post. Greetings Citizens, Applications for the third term of the Council of Intergalactic Representatives are now open! Applications will close on the 15th of May, at 1:30 AM UTC. The voting site is planned to be opened on the 16th of May, at 1:30 AM UTC and new councillors should be announced on the 29th of May. For the past few months, we've been discussing some changes to the election and voting process. We've also been considering some changes to council rules and a number of other things. Recently, a popular discussion/poll about restricting voting to only purchased users has arisen. We have decided as a team to implement some of these proposals for Term 3; changes have been listed below. Changes to the Council

We have decided to change the number of councillors from 7 to 5. After evaluating our past two councils, we believe that seven is too many. We will be evaluating five councillors over the next term and keep an eye out for any decrease in productivity.
Council voting will require the user to have purchased the game; this is to make it harder for fraudulent voting to occur. However, there are no restrictions on applying to the Council. The upcoming elections will be a test run for this new requirement.
Backwards tie-breaking will be used instead of the previous forwards tie-breaking method.

Here are a few things that you need to know before applying:

Anyone can apply! You don't need to be registered on StarMade Dock to apply. However, we recommend doing so. As we link forum accounts to the applications and it's common for applicants to open a thread for questions in the council forum.
Schine has the right to accept or deny any application put forward.
All council discussion (including promotions), should take place in the Council section.
Comments on applications are disabled; applications will be locked.
All warning points, inactive or active will be posted on an applicant's application.
Everyone has the same application format. However, that does not mean you can't incorporate content/responses that are not in the questions.
Answer honestly, lying will probably result in disqualification and possible restrictions.
Take the application seriously! We (Schine) will reject any application that does not meet the standards we expect from a Councillor.
Read the Council Terms and Conditions

What is the Council? The Council is a community elected group who seek opinions from the community on ideas/suggestions, issues, and concerns. The council presents all this data and opinion to the dev team to better understand what our users want for StarMade and have the benefit of different perspectives on various features/topics. The council has a bunch of other tasks and projects they work on; you can find out more information on the council info page and the original council announcement thread. Thanks for playing StarMade, and fly safe! - The Schine Team
