Too bad, I really enjoyed the casts and so do many others. In fact it is what got me playing FA again.

Its February already...you can discuss the responsibilities afterwards, too...just start the vote. The position is free for interpretation anyways.

When we had 4 corners in the map pool it was obviously a matter of balance. When 2 factions are that much powerfull on a map, there is 2 option :
1- balance faction, so the map can be played by all faction. (but it impact other map)
2- remove the map, so balance isn't broken any more (in the ladder).

No, its not.
If you add these maps in the pool, game balance will not change. Neither it will if you remove those maps. Your tanks on other maps wont be behaving any different unless you change their stats - now that is a balance matter. What you are talking about is simply map pool matter, nothing more.

I must agree with Vee that they have a vaguely idea of what they are suppose to do.

Comes as part of the job description.

Think of it as being a member of a board of directors for FAF.

I think Player Councillor is to be community representative. You'd be responsible for ladder, map pool, GW, matchmaker, opinion polls on such things, client feature requests, bullying the code team to basically give the community what they're asking for. It's the widest and least defined, but also the most flexible and powerful position on the council imo, or it should be because the players are why we're all here.

I'm a bit lost to see that you are lost

The council is a sort of review board with different members of different areas. When they discuss and vote about something, each member has a vote. The player councillor would have the vote of the players.

This means for me, he must be in touch with the players to "grap" the main direction of the players. Certainly you can't make it everyone right, but should try to match with the majority or what you think is best for the player community. That's why it should be a guy that plays and understands the game a lot + well.

So for easy decisions, he knows and does it himself. For difficult things he can open a discussion amongst the players to get their opinion.

Like at work... he is something like a workers spokesman (I don't know if this translates correct).

my 2 cent

I'd like for the player councilor to help develop the direction FAF is taking regarding the core game, ladder/matchmaker and galactic war.

I don't know whether to accept or reject because I don't know what a players councilor does. Since the council will decide what a players councilor will do, can some of the existing council members explain what they think a players councilor should do?
