This is a situation for the old adage, "Too many cooks ruins the stew." You get a disconnected story, which ends up creating glaring contradictions. Not that the person doing it shouldn't look to others for feedback, but the overall vision should come from one person.
A more than fair and valid point: and for the vast majority of Discovery's story I would concur with it; but it's never the norm that tosses a spanner in the works, but the extremes.
Current events, and Del's ...failed? Abandoned? Murdered? experiment hold concern for me in regards to using community roleplay to determine the story.
Wars happen here, but they're never won except by decree from on high; if the wars are result not of such decrees, or what the end result would be is not immediately apparent and is in fact the subject of much debate, as is certain basic and integral facts about the parties involved, what then, can be used by a single individual as a goalpost of sorts for unbiased decision making?
I know that having a MAN IN CHARGe of story is an oft discussed issue here, especially since the release of 4.86 ( i know i've posted in threads about it and put my name in no less than four times), but it never actually seems to go anywhere.
Of course, i'm not a priviliged member, with neither knowledge nor even rumours about the inner workings of Discoverys command structure at my grasp.
Woe is me.
