Well said King, I agree with the majority of your points strongly, though would like to correct a few things, primarily to do with the Sanctuary. Obviously there are a number of reasons why the Sanctuary is in such a sorry state, beginning with "Dean"s consistent stalling and eventual failure to produce results (You may have made these designs, Del, but you only ever presented me with scraps), and then continuing with people's... disposition towards disorder. Originally the faction pages were meant to be standardized, but people got out of control and started adding entirely unnecessary sections etcetera. Assuming, at the time, that people were capable of doing this in a calm and responsbile manner, I let them make these additions in the name of creativity and personalization (Two things the wiki is effectively based around).

Personally I would suggest removing many of the faction assets currently existing, and instead creating more centralized ones around the prime pillar as I originally intended to do, but faction pages quickly became more popular and so that became an impossibility. I would reccomend permitting faction areas to have some secret or special locations because, although the Broken Covenant IS a faction, it is not a totally unified entity, and so allowing each faction to have some minor differences in their HQs would exemplify that. I'd reccomend that these locations are pre-determined however, to prevent the competition we had before.

Also, do remember that Missions were not something that my department had failed to develop but were instead something we simply didn't have the time to present to the community. The months following thanksgiving were trying for most of us, and the enormous administrative changes really shook things apart. Which brings me to my final point.

What I'm writing here is primarily just applying my personal opinions, but you may have noticed that it makes a few indirect jabs at you, Del, in response to the many indirect jabs aimed at me throughout the blog above. I get a very strong feeling of "The past was a failure, we need to forget it and move on" from this blog and to be perfectly honest it's a little insulting. The past is always important, and should be looked to in order to improve the future. I'm going to put all of that aside though, and simply state that what you have written is very "me" centric. You may notice that throughout the majority of my blog posts I primarily spoke of things my department would be developing, working on, and presenting. It wasn't about me, it was about the department. You have a habit of raising yourself above others, which is fine in its own way, but once you start using that position to look down on others as well, it becomes a problem. Please be sure to be respectful to everyone, especially since you now hold responsibilities greater than ever before.
