I'm not sure the mistakes I have in mind were from the time period where you were a leader. More so, the things I view as mistakes were from when Lou became leader in place of Burns and down the road when Jinx and n00blet became leaders within the Omicroners.
While I could go on about how I think some of the role play decisions that were made were utterly ridiculous and more fueled by out of role play hate for other players than anything else; I won't as role play is subjective.
The mistakes I think that are worth noting are things like what Lou and crew did very recently. Ala, disbanding the faction without the consent of many of the regular members. From what I can tell Moebus was completely caught off guard and I think he deserved far better than that.
Or that they at every turn tried to dictate Zoner role play to everyone else and that if we didn't do what they wanted or played Zoners how they wanted we were abusing the Zoner NPC faction; essentially their inability to accept that their way wasn't the only way.
As I said above, I don't think many of the mistakes I take issue with were from the time when you led. The ZTC of old was an enjoyable faction to play with and one that almost stole me from OSI at one point. What it became is what I see as the mistake.
