Reading back on this thread I am a little disappointed in how some people are carrying themselves in reply to their Nom not being selected - Not to be rude, but, if whomever nom me acted out that way I would be a little embarrassed. For others I can understand the varying concerns.
To reply to the posts, here's How I see it..
This is a Quark title and this is how they deem fit a Guild Master, so I will respect that. However, I was as well a bit disappointed when I saw that the current Guild Masters had a part in the deciding factor, I was not part of the process so I cannot speak on the matter but thinking realistically; we have 400 worlds to run across those 10 GM and prove our worth, thats not a favorable odd. I do wish that noms would have been solely based off of quark decision and through same process as the first set of guild masters. Not because of popularity but because it gives it more of that prestige that the first set had.
I've been playing since world 6 and though I haven't run across the majority of GM in panel, I have had the privilege to make some great friends out of this game and play many worlds leading. I would be lying if I said I didn't want GM, as I work my butt off for my team (I was literally in GW8 opping in a tanning bed today and a shower last night - #Addiction) but if I was to win, I wanted it fair and square. If people took it upon themselves to vote and I got GM I deserved it, If I had to petition my way there I didn't deserve it. I am glad Quark emphasized that they used quality of submissions.
For me to not get GM is okay because I was a fortunate one to make the top 30 or so. In my eyes, that already makes me obtain that honor and prestige that a GM has, just don't have the popularity and medal to show for it. I think all true candidates for Guild Masters should have this same view of the title and process and shouldn't be complaining. My men took it upon themselves to vote for me and Quark saw me as a top leader. So I not only congratulate the New Guild Masters I also congratulate all of the players who made top of quarks list - because that itself is a privilege. 43/1700 - I'll take it. (beer)(beer)
