Good to know we have enough for a party. James, the council wasn't a place where decisions were made. It was where the facade was erected so we thought we had a voice. Having three separate votes to select someone as a MOB member and have all three ignored was just one of the issues that made me realize that the "community" was no longer in control. As a full MOB member, I was amazed and saddened that I would learn of the move to a new domain through an email AFTER THE FACT. None of these recent actions have added to our number one goal of having fun. This is supposed to be a place where we come to relax and get away from stress. The past year all MOB has given me is more stress. Just curious who was voted on 3 times? There could be legit reasons for this. Like not enough people voted. Or it was tabled for a while. I would think it would be up to the person who called the vote to ask for some sort of closure to it instead of leaving it in limbo or recalling the vote. I think in general there was a lack of understanding of the process in general and this too could have lead to this. I'm by no means saying this happened any of the above ways just trying to point out that usually there was some sort of reason for this. -------------------- ![]() Give a man a match and he's warm for a min.

I too was surprised when we did have a vote for change on servers only to have the change changed without warning. I felt as though what we MOB and Regs wanted was not taken into consideration. Since then, I found myself visiting MOB servers less often. Nothng, There was a poll up in the regs section, I made a reply that IMO we should be carefull what we wish for, and that a lot of what Druid was saying was his opnion as a founder of MOB andit should at least be considered with debate prior to making a shift. That in my opinion he was pointing out things that were bad for the clan and his heart wa in the right place. I also stated that as Regs most of us did not / could not know the whole story and the vote would be a very poor example of a democracy, therefore we should not vote. The post disappeared by the next morning. I PM'd an admin and was told it was made invisable so there could be discussion about it in MOB first. If this was not the case then I am extremly disappointed! Hey Blitz, Thats not the voting issue I was talking about. I was talking about the vote we had to put up a MWBA Barb. It was voted on and clearly passed. The server was put up and taken down in less than 2 weeks. I believe it was pulled down because we had put it up on Steel's server (i think that was a poor decision to put it in place of Steel's server, it should have been put up in the MWBA server instead) and then it was competing with another BA server and those that played on Steel's server how it was. I seen many non-MOB players come in and complain. The server was switched back. I felt as though our say in things had no effect on what is done. I did receive a explaination afterwards as to the reasoning why, but the question always remained in my head as to why did it get put on the server it did, why not on the one it originally was on, the one with MWBA? It would not have taken Steel's hard work server she had, and it would not give us 2 BA servers. When I asked people that played in the MWBA server, many said they would love Barb back. It was treated as though we tried to run it again for 2 weeks and it failed. I just didnt like how we tried. -------------------- ![]() |
