It's time for the thirteenth round of Loka Community Representatives (LCRs) to be elected! You have until Friday, October 24th, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time to nominate yourself for the role, and voting will begin on Saturday, October 25th, 2025.
Note:
Voting for LCRs
Players on Loka will be able to vote for nominees in-game from Saturday, October 25th, to Saturday, November 1st. We will use Ranked Choice Voting (voters will pick nominees in order of preference), and the voting pool will be limited to players who have reached a certain playtime threshold over the last 3 months. Following voting, the players elected will hold the position for roughly 3 or 4 months. If an LCR is promoted to Guardian during their term, they will be allowed to remain an LCR for the remainder of their term.
What is an LCR?
A group of player-elected representatives from within the active community that participates in higher-level discussions about the server. As a representative, you will have the opportunity to help give direct feedback and advice on server features, as well as have access to a channel and voice chat within the Loka Discord to have direct communication with Head Staff (The Elders). Additionally, LCRs will have access to the Community Subforum where they can post discussion threads about pressing topics. Only LCRs can create posts in the subforum, but all players can reply to threads there as usual.
