I guess, in keeping with my policy of standing up to my convictions, and putting my money where my mouth is, so to speak, I really should nominate myself.
While I'm relatively new to epic in a way (I've only been playing this version for a year and a bit) but I have been following epic since titan legions. I own every edition worth of rules (aside from adeptus titanicus, which is incomplete) and have a strong sense of tradition and for the flavour of the game. In the year that I've been here, I've built a fairly solid feeling army list, incorporating ideas and suggestions from several prominent community types, as well as plenty of my own, and its grown fairly well. I've set to organising a tournament, dealt with many of the productive model-supplier types around, andfairly well immersed myself in most lists currently in production. Having bought, built, or otherwise schemed, a good 10+ different armies. I am always trying to grow Epic as a game locally (ask any of my friends) (and if it's of relevance, I've consistently achieved high results in whatever wargaming endevour i've put my mind to in the past.)
I'm well-spoken, and fairly familiar with the ways of the net. I'm not afraid to speak my mind, or to listen to others. I believe in the spirit of the game, but believe that a well worded ruleset is key to allowing that spirit to be enjoyed by everyone. I believe that we shouldnt force ourselves to stick with whatever GW or FW's latest moneygrabbing canon-shift tells us (especially where it goes against previously established epic canon) but I also believe that we shouldnt stick with old ideas just because they are old.
I'm also an unemployed part-time librarian student, who is not likely to get a high pressure job anytime soon, so while I am good at deadlines and producing reports and whatnot, I dont have anything that is likely to drag me away from my duties here (I also dont have any children, any desire or prospects towards getting them, ya know, ever, and my cat isnt particularly demanding of my time.)
And last of all, and most importantly. I F###in Love Epic.
frankly, I dont expect to get a slot. In many ways, I'd rather just have someone else like me do it, while I play games and paint models, but thats probably not going to happen. I think I'd be good at it, I think I'd make the game better, but I dont think I'll beat out many of hte other names here. Still, like I said. I have to put my money where my mouth is, and step up to the plate.
