Simply on the fact that, apart from seeing the name mentioned a few times in the past, i have no idea who Lanakov is... i actually hold some hope that Disco could actually start moving again and get things happening and not fall into the factionalized, shadowy and sometimes corrupt states that previous staff teams suffered from.
The regionalized focus sounds nice because that means that potentially Kusari could actually get some proper development for the first time in a long time (and i dont count the Ku civil war which had so much potential but was wasted).
Transparency does sound nice because the staff have always seemed to act like a shadowy cabal planning how things will go without telling anybody anything while the community (those not in the know or have connections) go about their RP and end up being shit on because of staff decisions made in secret.
