Ironically I am sort of suspicious of anyone who would want to be 'The Candidate' as I have a distrust of anyone who seeks power, because they are usually just the sort of person who I don't want to have it.
That's part of the problem. Those best able to moderate may not wish to seek approval. I'd put forward a number of people like Elwar, Gentlemand, etc...
excellent points. couldn't agree more
You're right, of course.
But Theymos has played Pontious Pilate and said 'Ok - tell me what you guys want?'
He seems to be saying if we can solve it, he will grant it. So... we cannot be apathetic, we have to offer that solution, or lose the thread.
Can the most anarchic thread on the forum (ironically) find a sensible, acceptable and consensual solution? I think we could, but only if we all positively try to.
Be quite a thing if we could. No one is really falling out here, we have a prize to seize - which is simply the status quo.
If any group of people can come together and form a pitch I can roughly agree with, I will stand aside, or offer help accordingly, because I want the WO to continue.
I have probably checked it almost every day for the past few years. I am sure I am not alone.
So for you theymos is waiting for us to propose him a solution ? So then let's reunite and all the candidates - as well as anyone wanting to give it's opinion on the situation - and see what do to.
