[font=verdana][color=green]Just to clarify, I never had anything to do with the rules. All I did was change the wording of the rules to make them clearer and more concise. However, I wouldn't have done it if I didn't feel that Aura should take over the game. The game needed to change, the system needed to change and the person in charge needed to change. Expert just doesn't listen to anyone else, and is very inactive. Aura actually listens and keeps threads up to date constantly. She was the perfect turn-to. So, I don't see what the problem is.
I kind of see the situation as if Greece (which is in a crap state of affairs) got a new leader who was a benevolent dictator which pushed reforms through. I dont have a problem with the improvements, but more so, inherently with the dictatorship thing.
Aura just started the game, with her own modified rules, without any discussion or allowance for feedback and input from the people who would actually play the game. Now that the game has started, the rules are hard to change and kind of set in stone now. Though some of them may be good, others (like the 3 buys every 24 hours) I disagree with. Whether that is just me, that could be an option, but I wont accept the fact that there isnt any problem whatsoever with the way the takeover (however welcome) was handled. I understand that to lead a game thread, some sort of control is needed to keep order, but ignoring everyone else in the formulating of the actual rules itself, that is my issue.
gah, I am making a bigger fuss of what I actually mean, but your inability to acknowledge the issues that I have with the game leads me to have to explain it with slightly stronger words than what I truly feel.
