Turning over leadership to Panzer32.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

After comments made by fellow team members, I have decided to turn over mod powers to Panzer32 and retire from the Glory of War Team.

I have pmed MarkG to turn over the mod powers to Panzer.

[Panzer32]

Well...

For the others on the team, basically these comments were made by me alone. I apoligise for the harsh words I said in the chat, and I request that you stay on as at least the CoW.

I realise that it would be improper to publish the entire chat, but I think it would be appropriate for me to publish what I said for the team to see:

{Panzer32} so when you were gone, WE (not me, everyone else who actually replied to the thread), decided to place the cities where they were.
{Panzer32}Please do not always blame me for the actions while you were gone, since, unlike you, I actually consult the team when making decisions.

It was a rather short chat

Again, I request that you stay on, if not as the CoW, but even as a member on the team.


And to other members of the team: If any of you believe that I have behaved inapropriatly, then when (if) I become emperor, feel free to call a vote of no-confidence against me. I will hold absolutly no personal grudge, in fact I will hold a greater respect for the person for being brave.

Again, let me apologise for not stating my opinion more diplomatically.

I was in the chat though not participating since I was busy but read it after the damage was done.

I just want to say that I am ashamed to be on this team when this kind of bull**** happens. Yes, it is bull**** because I find it frankly unacceptable that people take things, especially criticism, so personal and take childlike responses to them.

I am not calling for a no-con vote on anyone, I am calling for a GROW THE **** UP vote instead, take the heat, live with it, criticize, and expect to be criticized too. That goes for both.

I am deeply sorry to see that GF has asked to leave, or that Panzer is willing to call a no-con on himself. You two have done good jobs so far and for this to happen over something so pathetically silly is just pure utter nonsense.

Both of you do what you want. I stand and die with this team no matter what happens.

NO NO NO NO NO NO !!

Dammit


Unless we want to take 24hours for every turn like GS, we need to make decisions quickly and decisively with whoever is available at the time.

This means mistakes happen. This also means conflicting strategies, and differences in opinion.

Just deal with it and move on. Argue your points but never make it or take it personally.


I am with MZ on this…

[Panzer32]

Ghengis, if youre still reading this, I'm not sure MarkG is that active in the Greek military...

Could you PM DanQ? Or do you want me to do it?

You said it all MZ. This game is for our enjoyment, NOT to cause more stress that we all have to deal with anyway. Everybody just chill out and enjoy what up to know has been a very enjoyable experience.

I need to have the Moderator authority for the Glory of War Civgroup forum in the PTW Demo Game transferred to Panzer32.

Hi GhengisFarb.

The transition described above has been completed. Thanks for the note in its regard.

Exactly as Aggie said, when the game is about peronal attacks it is no longer fun and I have no desire to be involved.

The fact that the team feels that I have never consulted it on anything and was the sole player of the game pisses me off immensely. This is the exact feeling I wanted to avoid. Heck I even called a no-con on myself because I felt strongly about it. Now I find out that the team thinks I purposely tried to steal the game and was actively trying to prevent anyone from putting in their feedback.

Fine, I will leave and this way there is no way I can be preventing anyone from putting in their feedback.

Good luck to the team.

I sent a note to Ghengis... I'm not sure if I should post it here or not. Its basically an apology, appeal, and a goodbye rolled into one. Anybody here want me to post it? I have no idea whether to or not.

[Hot_Enamel]

Although (as I understand it), it was a team issue, it is also personal, so I see no reason in posting it here.

[Master Zen]

No, this is NOT a team issue as there were only 2 people involved in that discussion. Why GF insists that this reflects the ideas of the entire team is way beyond me.

Anyway, I really find no need to continue this discussion. It pains me to see that GF has taken a very extremist position, assuming that the entire team is pissed at him or something which is not true.

Well, do as you wish GF, it's a shame you have to leave but I just want to tell the team that reading over the original conversation, I find it rather ridiculous that this is the only option you find viable.
