I know that I said I wasn't going to comment on this anymore, BUT..........
I am a logical and reasonable man, I also love taking on task that require great critical thinking skills. I have put that to work and I think I have a solution to this issue once and for all (yeah right).
It has been mentioned in this very thread the notion of creating another Ember Discord server due to the current one being such a terrible place to visit and hang out with friends. Why don't you guys (and gals), that take great issue with the current staff and server do just that?
Mark has already made it clear that he wants the current Discord to remain fan ran right? So if that's the case, where does it say there cant be 2 fan ran Discord servers? As a matter of fact, we would even be willing to help you guys out, and advertise for you.
As an example, if someone in the current server wants to not follow the rules and guidelines, we refer them over to you guys server. That way they can do whatever you guys deem is a proper set of rules and management, I would also think it would be fair for you to advertise the current server if someone comes to yours and wants a place where the rules are a bit more "tight" and enforced.
Its hard to believe that me and PCMasterReece can agree on anything, but he is right these flame wars get no one any benefit.
What is wrong with this solution?
It may be brought up that well if we try and do this it will split the community, and I agree it would, the exact same split could occur if the rules and or administration of the current server changes to try and turn itself into something its not meant to be, for the sake of allowing a handful of people to force there ideals and ways onto the majority who seem to be perfectly happy with the current administration and rules and follow them without issue.
Thank you everyone for reading, lets get beyond this and unite for the common goal that we are supposed to be here for, and that is to help Mark aka Grummz see is vision become a reality so that we may all enjoy a game we so desperately wanted.
Discuss.....
Sincerely,
