On a related note, if it is something you are worried about, please feel free to host a public poll regarding my adminship. One of the agreements to my badge was that it was possible that the enlistment would cause large concerns within the community and I would need to step down if that happened.

http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=143168 Conrad elaborated a bit more on that in the original announcement and while that specific part above was left out not to provoke people into doing so, it is still very much true. In the end my participation in the team is not really measured in events, but rather how I handle things overall. If you specify that in your poll, you should get a accurate opinion.

All I can say to that is I wish everyone were held that accountable, so we didn't have to deal with issues like Hannibal remaining green for as long as he did. Sorry for the bluntness, but that's what I've always been and it's something we also all know to be true. For what it's worth, you're doing a pretty good job with the cards you've been dealt.

As for the second- if you want the cold hard details, is because ever since the Heavy Decision, we as a staff are completely uninterested in meddling with dev-work as doing so would possibly lead to another devstrike. Already during that example I was reminded that it was a possibility and that we have no reason to dictate what goes or does not go into the game and that both teams should just do their own thing.

I've always believed that we need to sit down and hammer out the details of which responsibilities fall to which team, but for some reason that's always been sidestepped with "Oh nononon we don't need that, let's just set up this shared team coordination chat which we'll all sit tensely in for a month and then explode at one another when one side does something the other can't abide by."

It's really not a good system right now, and if you'd be willing to sit down and discuss it I'd do so in a heartbeat and I'm sure @Teerin would as well.
