Quote:Well, things definitely were a lot calmer when I did return. I wanted to enforce that once I got into position of power. When I checked a lot of staff topics, I definitely saw a lot of hostility within them, be it with certain members, or be it within themselves. The amount of staff in-fighting was atrocious, and honestly, it was painful reading through them. (and I'll admit, I was guilty of this 6+ years ago) So I made it a point to change the entire staff infrastructure to put the member base before themselves. Something the staff 6+ years ago NEVER did.

How recent were these ventures into staff topics? Are you talking Foe, Vel, Sui, and the like who were in power when I got here two years ago?

Quote:Trying to stray from people just wanting the limelight and having a pretty colored red bolded name on them, or people who want the position just to get that golden opportunity to pull a power trip every chance they get, is a must. I'd post an example on who did everything I mentioned in the most wrong ways possible, but I've namedropped the person several times in the past, and most of you already know by now. (And no, it's not SaS, much to anyone's surprise)

Tch. I dunno who exactly you're talking about, but I know you think me power-hungry. Maybe that's true, but I actually do care about this site. You can't blame a guy for wanting a hand in things, to help others, to feel needed, etc.

God, that makes me seem like the most depressed person on the Earth. I'm not, but it's been a nagging itch for a while.

Maybe I have been a little mean lately though. The people I beef with are strong-willed enough to take it, so I normally don't care.

Quote:I did bring the discussion up more than once, actually, in the skype chat. Several times, actually. I even posted it in the Summer Plan topic, with no responses to it to this day.

I thought that was already said in stone.

Quote:About your AW idea, I would've definitely welcomed the idea. I definitely would've had it as a trial game mode first though to see how it would've panned out though. I wasn't opposed to it. It just didn't get enough traction nor enough people interested in the idea. But I'll tell you one thing for sure, I definitely would've at least tried it. You have my vote of confidence there.

Thanks bro. Problem is, it's missing something. A piece of the puzzle that I can't find. Something to still keep it fire emblem-y.

Quote:And lastly, the last bit. Another big part of why nothing was getting done is because no one said anything about it. If you had a topic like that, it definitely would've been welcomed with open arms in my mind. I'm pretty sure a topic like that definitely would've gotten a lot of us stretching our arms and maybe scrambling a little. I was always getting on siro's and fensti's case because nothing was really getting done. (I got on siro's case a lot less because on technicality, it was really out of his control considering what he had to go through)

Should I make another then?

Quote:The answer I got? "There's no rush."

We're waiting for something to happen before we go on, but nobody knows what that something is.

Quote:As for sirocyl, I'm giving him the biggest thanks I'll ever give for bothering to do something with this site. The most important thing he's done with the site was to make it a lot more secure. The old forums were dangerously hazardous, so I'm definitely glad we got that problem overwith. But the other problem is, we're still dependant on that old forum because the FETO platform is still on it. So as long as FETO is on there, work still needs to be done. But that aside, I'm blessed to know someone who could at least help us, rather than having to track someone down on the internet and potentially (90% of the time actually) have to pay for it.

I tried to learn HTML5 and shit but I'm way too lazy. Maybe I'll do this timeboxing strategy or whatever and get somewhere.
