Our conversations shouldn't get leaked here then ^.^
But on point... Gandalf does pay for this server and he did build it up. We don't want him to leave, we want him to step and take responsibility. We want him to become an active participant, don't forget those of you saying shitting on vets... he himself is a veteran... he is the first player. However what needs to be different is less dependency on an outdated vision, and more open discussions with the community that are productive and progressive. If the owner gets involved in that and is willing to listen and keep and open mind.... the level of progression we can make would truly be historic in this community.
As usual people seem not to read or not to understand what is written. The reason I invested in this topic is to discuss how to make the changes people are asking and the leaders are willing to make while keeping things fair for all.
This is why I brought forward our old line of thought and what situations could arise on changing some aspects of how players need to behave.
It is interesting that instead of bringing forward solutions to what I put as food for thought, those who are requesting changes immediately go in to attack mode. They can not provide solutions so they blame it om my inactivity and creating the strawman that I am unwilling to let change happen.
If you have read the posts (apart from the snipes, those are just my trolls) you should notice that I am posing the possible downside of proporsed rules. That is not to stop them from happening or being against them, but to get a solution for them.
What is most important to me is that the leadership and adminsitration are fair towards all players, both new ones and veterans. If a rule change means fairness is not guaranteed, it should at least be determined how to handle that without making things impossible to enforce.
