I'm terribly sorry, but you must be this tall to shit on the community. Commentary applies to whoever the reader wishes it to apply to. It's truly sad to see the second of 3 regions I've ever considered home has taken all of it's political plays and community theory from the dummies guide to TUK, but I don't even want to bother trying to figure out the messes here anymore.

This isn't a fucking coup. Calm down. Falc was barely active for 3 days and then totally absent for 3 more, and he just informed us we won't see him for an unspecified time longer. We're a region with no government, and the leader is gone. What exactly do you want to do?

Falc is still in charge, but in the interim, we need something going on. We had 14 fucking posts per day. That, in my book, is when a region is dead.

I agree.

Quite frankly, if you complain at every single thing that is tried to improve the region, why are you still here?

Chill the fuck out, and lets give this a try.

Or we can just rant, and ignore how many times the Constitution has been changed recently.

Well hold on, we're not giving anything a try. I'm an elected official of this region, and I'm stepping up in the absence of the leader. I'm not taking over, I'm just acting the part while we're headless.

14 posts? You're still living by Equinox standard, the average raider org has half as many posts a day as that. And I know it's not a coup, but every time we have to mess with the government structure like this, more people leave. Just because Falc is missing it doesn't mean we aren't allowed to be active or recruit; posts simply come from someone giving us an excuse to post about, and thanks to recent events, the vast majority of us just want to take some time away from Equinox and hide underneath a rock. The awkward is already settling. If you're impatient, you should be working on getting more fuel to the engine, not changing the driver. Don't tell me you need to be driving to push the accelerator, not being the monarch or the regent never stopped anyone from posting here before. People WILL be active here once more.

That is a bizarre, yet strangely compelling metaphor.

Though I think you will find it's difficult to push the accelerator from the passenger side. Just putting it out there...

:P Overall I don't think this is a coup at all, I think Hadisthe is making an effort to steer us away from mindless bickering - and frankly the new position makes a hell of a lot more sense.

@AV - I think it makes more sense to post in the RDC to compile ideas, we also have a topic in the think tank AND the bar. The RDC is the only place we can't expect spam, and therefore the most sensible place for serious discussion.

Everybody calm down. :P I'll see what I can get done this evening with you guys around.

NO to the chief executive officer... as AV said that's exactly what I didn't want. We don't need that position unless I'm dead, which I'm not, just had a setback.

for all 5 people that can see it? There are places for dicussion of think kind of stuff. The RDC was set up for a very specific reason and steering the government isnt one of them.

The RDC reviews infractions of the ZetaBoards terms of service, this Code, as well as general disturbances in the region and the RDC has the authority to discipline by decree, ie on a case-by-case basis.


yep...not in there.

That is what its generally called when someone take (ie not given) power or control of something and then starts changing it or generally mucking with it to suit thier own agenda.

Example: Creating an Office that the legitimate leader specificially stated they didnt want created, by taking the authority to change the EC on your own becuase you simply had the adminstrative rights to do so.

That is an awful like using your adminstrative powers to remove the government and create a Queen, then that Queen start creating thier own offices.... And that was within equinox, univerally known as a coup.

So pretty much exactly what Falc did when he took over without a vote?

Would obliterating the constitution and rewriting the code to ensure supreme control be covered under 'own agenda'?

Just wondering where you draw the line AV.

Well then.

Two things:

So when we apparently are "settled" what happens then? Will people other than yourself get to actually make changes?

If you decide that we'll have no government at all, doesn't that eliminate the point of the first thing?


Government/politics on the offsite forum of regions, is the base of things, it's the first thing usually to go when regions start to decline or die.

What's the point of taking it away? When people want to be involved in it?


I can understand why you wouldn't want it, since your semi-retired of all of it, and it can cause unhealthy arguments.

Sopo is probably right though, we've lost respect for ourselves, others, community, and all those things here in Equinox.

Falc, I have made the same points, or similar a few times. I think we could do with answers.

I told you, I have had mixed feelings on this whole post-Aisli coup thing.

I don't support Falc completely, there are only a few things I support and that is for certain reasons, but most of those reasons are disappearing. Since this is supposed to all be a temp fix, just like the thread's name.

Falc: We have suggestions coming in. I think your 'temporary' reign could be drawing to a close. Do you accept this?
