Temporary Autonomous Zoners Droppin the "Z"

[Tigger]

I guess one can never please everybody at the same time. Diez anyone realize that there is no foul Play here? Really man, come on.

Foul play? Not sure but I doubt it. However I do see a perhaps misguided attempt at making the founder's idea happen. Problem with that is:

* Since Doug had the idea years ago there's been literally hundreds of pages interlinking TAZ and Zoner that separating the twain is near impossible. Couple that with most members and non-members equating this small group of religious nutjobs as Zoner and it's going to take almost a complete re-write and ret-con to separate it. Even Doug back in the day realized there was already so much Zoner/TAZ mixing that it wasn't worth the effort, angst, and RP consequences to make the change. Granted, back then getting an ID for a faction wasn't easy but we did have the HF and the Phantoms andd others so it was possible, Doug just realized the merger was already done and decided to go with it as is.


* As faction leaders we get used to doing whatever we want, making the decisions and doing what needs to be done. That's normal and for the most part the memberships appreaciate the job the leader does. However, when the leader decides to make a fundamental and major change in the the faction, such decisions need to be discussed with and voted on by the membership. This didn't happen. This morning we get a link to the OP in this thread and that's it.

As a TAZ member since 2010 I formally protest Gypsie's decision as unilateral and without membership voice, vote, or approval. The Omicroner leadership pulled this kind of stunt a few years back in deciding to disband the faction without the input or vote of the membership and look where that got us, the few survivors of that in a face off with the other Zoner groups.

Thank you for remembering Doug's idea Gypsie but no thank you on this move; or at least the way you've gone about it. Discuss it in the faction channel and let the people vote on whether we want this or not, don't just up and decide for yourself what the faction is going to make such a major change without the rest of us agreeing to it.
