I am happy to do the job if no one else will and if that's what the community wants, but we still need to decide what we, collectively, want our league to become. If everyone is happy with the status quo then so be it, however, it seems readily apparent there is a strong desire for change at the top, whatever that may entail.
To put it more succinctly, even if we change leadership there still needs to be a discussion and subsequent plan on how we can effect positive change for the betterment of the league.
I don't think this thread should be used to throw out random ideas people have for what changes should be made to the game. I think the first change should be leadership. This will allow us to implement change. The person who currently handles these things doesn't believe in change, doesn't want change, and when I recently told him the problem was that he wasn't a good leader he scoffed at me and told me "this is spaceships, my job has nothing to do with "Leadership"" I think that sums it up well.... Once we change leadership and feel like this person in charge is open to change/improvements the ideas will flow. Until then, any suggestions end with silence, sarcasm, and ridicule. The main qualities we need out of leadership here is: Neutrality/respect, interest in the greater good, embracing of change via democracy, and organization. I think Peeking Duck would do well in this role and we can make changes from there. Regarding Psyanides commet, Kdak wouldn't be a bad choice either but he has no interest at this time.
