User blog:Flamefang/Decline and Fall

It has recently come to my attention that the administrators of this wiki are undergoing a period of significant turmoil. I understand that regular users here may not see all of this but right now we have some very very serious problems on our hands. Just so that everyone is kept up to date Angel has decided to take an indefinite break from wiki affairs due to a series of emotional breakdowns. Lenobia is undergoing a time of personal hardship in real life and rumors are circulating about certain administrators plotting against their fellows. This is the second time Bach has threatened to leave and this time I know for sure that I can't talk her out of it. If she leaves I leave and I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the wiki's administration followed. This place is far more fragile than it appears. I've seen this before. I've seen it far too many times before. Angel even asked me to include the following quote:

 ' "Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos." - Willian Durant. '''

Recently we gave you liberties. We announced the Broken Covenant and even more recently opened Sins of the Father to members. And yet, in this liberty, more problems have become apparent. Right now we are on the verge of chaos; the very tipping point. We are on the threshold of this wiki falling to pieces. This is not written in a moment of anguish, or anger, or even amnesty. It's written in a moment of absolute clarity. The drama needs to stop. The chaos needs to  stop . We all need to  stop . There has been too much infighting; too many independent struggles for power. When every man proclaims himself a king; there is  none . When every man is mutually assured of his own victory; there is none. When every man works together in cohesion towards a common goal we have  victory. This is the kind of victory we need. Thus I have decided to call an admin meeting tomorrow at 8:00 EST. All current admins should be present along with the candidates in the re-voting process still under way. Together we will build a brighter future or this wiki will fall into ruin. Now this is not purely an administrative matter. This is a concern for the wiki as a whole. Please, no matter who you are, post in the comments section below. Say  'I support you' . Not me, for I am no lord, no king, no emperor. By sending this message you support the entire administration. If things are not solved in the near future this is likely the last blog I will write. And so, thank you for your time and consideration. It has been an honor serving you as an administrator of this wiki.
