Nice text about "we are strong, independent lunatics who don't need no leaders" spaz, very dramatic. But let's not forget that we've gotten so big that, without people like Syv to put some semblance of order in this mess, we would quickly devolve into people going brain-dead because nothing ever happens and people aimlessly wandering about because they don't know what to do.
We should probably split up the thread more so there's less confusion of who goes where, that should solve most of the confusion. After that Saint can give each team a shove into their proper dimension and then they can go on an adventure.
So, we're going to points of lowering each other's ideals, belittling them and shoving words into each other's mouths without taking propper heqd or asking for clarriffication? Well, I thought some here mature, I at least have tried to make up for my early days here
How about I put it in simple terms like this:
To much damn beurocracy it drives down the pacing. By belittling my points to simple terms you missed what I said and further insulted me. You wish to play this game, wish to fence with words, bring it on and we shall see whom comes on top.
So please have the common decency that many seem to lack and listen closely, too much beurocracy and safety to the point ofminsanity, there is a fine balance and there is many things we could automate rhat would make it a hell of a lot easier on us. I guess a good analagy as to the difficulties I see with these levels of beuroceacy is a tyrants ruling amtyrants over everyone else. Eventualy you will have no say over what restroom you go in. I have read through all the missions and such and I can say when there was little bit of leader ship to provide guidance and keep the mission on track so that people didn't get sidet4acked, that was fine. Kept the pacing quick and easy. Now, read through m26, so much could've simply been automat3d, so much of the security, and all the issues with stuff. Or otherwise. All the issues over security and shit with orgy-verse or otherwise could've been automated to work quite well with some customizability allowed and would have made things quicker. If you look into what is being discussed right now, it's beurocracy, not transdimensional travel. You could have easily set up a basic universe exploration kit for newbies, but you didn't and a lack of that for thought and unwilliness to reach a quick and easy compromies has only furhter slowed things down. Right now I view that we coudld all simply make a quick thread for all the leaders of m26 and hep and figure things out quickly, easily, efficiantly in such a way that would ipultimately make things easier on all of us. And when all of you guys reach a good conclusion, you put it all together and send it to pw. No, I do not wish for us to be complete chaos, even before the Arm there were still mission leaders and steve there to keep things on track. So far all that has happened was organized chaos, so to speak, things slow down un beuricrqcy and red tape that could easily be figured iut. Players loose freedom to other players by the boat load, the game slowls down, and soon enough a good number of players are bored and frustrated
Tl;DR So mcuh damn inniefficiency and beurocracy slowling down the game and ruining it for quite a few players. Make another chat and figure out how to best solve all the issues of multi universal exploration in a way that can be easily modified for new variables.
One more thing just to put this out there, you, arm leaders cannot do anything to Jack outside of giving him orders or denying him from doing something with out it being an inevitable bout of those in power abusing their power, and I bet that is an argument we do not wish to go down for that would only make things worse. So be mature keep it ooc, for that is what this is to me.
