Quoting: TheCommissioner
Perfect, everything is resolved now. To be real, the only one who seems to be out of whack right now is you anyway.
Nothing at all is resolved. If you're hoping that the complaints about the fact that 80% of the BOG wasn't elected by the GMs will just blow over, they will not.
I am currently on vacation, but I feel like I have to speak my mind about this and I will continue to even louder once I am home.
I may be in the minority, but there are other GMs just as annoyed about this as me, as well as a number of GMs who aren't too worked up about it, but still think we should have a vote.
The only reason I can think of that you refuse to have a vote is because you are worried that you will get voted out or that the other BOG positions will be filled by people that you do not agree with.
Here are a couple of your quotes explaining why you dont want a vote:
"We felt that the only certain way to get the group we felt would be best for the game was by appointing, not voting"
"We didn't want to risk that chance of people who shouldn't be on the BOG getting in"
"Had this gone to a vote, someone incompetent would have ended up on the BOG"
These explanations are totally ridiculous to me.
Personally, I think that the best course forward is to have a vote on all the BOG positions except for Krak's since he was the only one legitimately voted into the BOG. I also think that the BOG should be expanded to 7 members as it was in V1 and V2. With 5 members, each member of the BOG has too much power and if 3 agree with each other, they can do whatever they want.
I will not be shutting up about this anytime soon. There are only three course forward for me:
1. We have a vote and elect a legitimate democratic BOG
2. The BOG decides to fire me because they are too afraid of losing their power
3. The BOG chooses to ignore me and the other GMs that they are supposed to be serving and I eventually quit
