Ay ay ay, so much ground to cover.
Firstly, thank you to Ex for keeping this thread nice a groomed. Not trying to be a back seat mod (don't think I am in this case, but sorry if I am) but I would prefer if we kept any discussions that go on in this thread, in the Conclave itself, or anywhere in general, civil. Drama is not what I wanted, and it can kill. I'm not pointing my cutlass at anybody, but let's keep it clean, m'kay? M'kay.
Next, I would love to have another in-game meeting. Fo shizzles, this time, too. I'm thinking that
Thursday, the 28th at 8:00 PM Eastern would be a tight squeeze, but I believe I can manage.
Also Jason, don't feel pressured to drop out. I understand how things may get in the way, and not having many mates on the forums is fine. I'll keep ya on the list for now, but just tell me if you want to keep your decision as final.
And just a word to all of those who are part of the Conclave:
I realize things have been tough these past few days. And I know, we're all kinda at odds with each other. However, I'm positive that I know you all to well, that your fully willing to give up with this. I mean, really, we're Guildmasters - if we can handle our mates, we usually can handle anything, aye?
The Conclave is turning in to something that requires way to much care.
I'll say it a final time before I write a book on it and cram it down everybody on this site's throats - The Conclave is a MINOR detail in your time as a pirate. As such, having to deal with the Conclave should NEVER have to be a primary mindset. If we start to pound ourselves in to this like driving a car in to a wall, we're only hurting ourselves. Again, give this time, keep it simple, and try to avoid killing each other.
Lastly. I know that we are all looking for somebody to lead this thing, and while most of you have looked to me, I've tried to stay humble and keep myself as just the "Organizer." Well, enough of that. Yes, this Conclave will be remaining democratic. But a democracy alone turns in to chaos without somebody to hold on to the reins. So, if it can be allowed, I'd like to step up fo shizzle, and become the real leader of this shin-dig.
