Bandit LOAF said:I am responding to a very specific request from Spirit -- he has said time and time again that he'd like someone to take over the project. As I have said over and over again, it's not an attempt to "grab power". Painting it as such will not work. Nothing is as simple as 'us versus them'. I think the project should be better run and I can do it - I am happy to remain a simple critic if Spirit was not serious about that request... but we need to have a clear response on his part.

I honestly think that a leader SHOULD dynamically stay out of the way and let good things happen -- a leader's job is to unruffle feathers, stop fights, and coordinate efforts. That takes people skills ^^; I try my best but I'm not sure I have them.... speaking of which, sorry if I irritated you. You're the demigod on canon compliance, so your word SHOULD be practically final whether something is canon or not; fine. This said, if you were in charge, we'd end up with a game that might be more concerned with canon compliance than with playability... that's my big fear...
This said, if you feel you need to be the leader, we could have a poll about it if you like? Holding elections at this point might be the best way to handle it fairly, however I don't want it to degenerate into a popularity contest... By the way, check the "credits" section of the todo file.

Why do you know Richard Garriott and not Scott Phillips? Same reason -- Garriott was a crazy character who owned a castle and talked about how amazing Ultima was.

Well I, for one, think it's fantastic that someone with as much as you have to offer has finally stepped up to the plate.crouton said:I don't do artwork, I'm not very knowledgeable about WC canon, and coding ain't my thing.
