that's what you consider issues?! geez no wonder.pkk wrote:QUOTE (pkk @ Nov 11 2012, 08:58 PM) The community itself is a 'problem' and the Senate is created to solve it, because I don't wanna deal with all that bull@#(!. They spend more time on dramatize peanuts instead of getting things done.
The Senate should solve issues like:
Mistrust between groups within the community ("SysX is above enforcement")Community fails on agreeing a new default key map"Person X leads group y, WTF!"Using carriers to block an aleph is 'cheating'.and so on...
Overall it's the self-determined government body of the community, to move things forward.
The Senate has nothing to do with solving the ownership problem you always referring to. TE still owns the community core systems and still holding the keys. I'm just 'in charge', because he's busy in RL and doesn't want to deal with 'day-to-day drama'. That 'day-to-day drama' is the reason, why we I decided to resurrect the Senate.
First of all, if they behave like kids then treat them like kids, period. if you don't have kids just ask people who have kids how they do. it's pretty simple.
just choose a default map and put it in the installer and AU. or ask someone to send you a default map and publish it. first person to send you a map gets it published. period. You all agree the default map is terrible and yet you linger for years to choose between candidates A, B or C who are all better than the default map. just pick one ffs. whatever it will be better than default and will stop losing new players because of kb map issue. Then you can waste time and discuss if A, B or C should be the final one. But meanwhile pick one. You're like doctors staring at a bleeding patient wondering if you should use method A, B or C to stop the bleed... see the problem there ?
if you consider carriers blocking alephs not a valid tactic but an exploit then just fix the code and publish the fix. if you can't decide ask someone you trust to decide. just go for it. don't linger. for instance, i'll ask Spunky to decide. period. once fixed (or not) people will move on and forget about this. if they really love this game , they'll stop bitching and move on.
you just need to NOT show indecision that's all. Kids like to exploit indecision of their parents. do not show indecision.
do stuff and act then discuss after eventually, not the other way around. That is what been missing since the triumvirate era and since then it has been slowly killing the game and its community.
Also, filter the white noise and noisy people. Distinguish between 'forum genius' and actual doers. Most previous active doers all left because 'forum genius' were given too much attention here. Always, always, always help the doers. or they'll leave and you'll end up with just the babbling monkeys...
it's pretty simple actually.
