I log in from time to time, hop in the standing fleet or get shouted at by boat, but I don't feel like any kind of connection to anything in game. I mean that's mostly my fault, I've been busy with work lately and don't log in as much as I should.

Happy Dolphin posted:If that was the reason they could at least have told me instead of accusing me of not doing anything when that is flat out wrong and easily provable when you look at my illum jabber activity, my forum posts and broadcasts over the last 3 weeks. Like I explained above, I fully understand the not-doing-anything coordination wise which is why I offered to step down, but in terms of doing capital things, that's not accurate at all. I wasn't aware you'd been demoted because I hadn't seen you say anything in illum for weeks. It's not my choice but it felt like you were pretty checked out since we started losing space (which you took really hard).

vyst posted:Aww man I'm a useless director, better post in the SA thread about it You already know this poo poo, but for the benefit of everyone else, my $0.02: Being in illum is not about chatting up with other cool people, or having some sort of leadership cred; it isn't a social club. It's about getting poo poo done -- fleets need to be sent here, stockpiles need to get moved there, contracts made, isk transferred, allies informed, doctrines theory-crafted, wiki pages updated, threads posted, broadcasts made. Illum is a gaggle of retards who volunteer to carry 500kg each so that line members don't have to break a sweat carrying 5kg each, and people come and go as they burn out and/or rejuvenate. We're actually pretty casual about divvying up work; a lot of us are multi-taskers. But when you say "I'll take care of X," you have to actually do X in a timely manner. Sitting on your hands and doing nothing is actually not a huge deal; promising to do something, and then making no progress on it for days/weeks until someone else has to pick that task up, is far worse. (This also means that it's pretty important to know when to say no -- there's been times when I've had too much on my plate, I've been asked to do something, and I admit that I don't have time/energy to do it. We find someone else to do it, and I focus on finishing what I've already promised to do. This is why I'm not the only person on the fitting team.) grumplestiltzkin posted:Well not with that attitude you're not. Believing in yourself is the first step.

This is Killah's campaign though- so he's the shot caller until we find something else to do. Xolve fucked around with this message at 00:37 on May 26, 2016 |

YouTuber posted:Nice to know that even after 10 years nobody understands how PL's leadership works even when being told how it works year after year. Oh, trust me, I know the official story PL tells everyone about "campaign leaders" and whatnot -- So, who's been the campaign leader for this war? Was there a change in campaign, or a change in leader, between the Vale ops and the 93PI ops? What was the campaign before Vale, and who was leading it? (Genuine questions, not sarcasm.) To be perfectly honest, the official stories about PL's decision-making style often give the feeling of plausible deniability, rather than a genuine buck-stops-here leadership. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but it's the attitude that I received, and it's a major reason that I didn't follow leboe to PL when I burned out at Rote.

as much as i distrust pl's story that "oh, only xxxx can make decisions this week, terribly sorry" i'm pretty sure nobody's putting the guy who at this point probably isn't even allowed to run capitals anymore in charge of pl

I'm sorry the idea of not having a singular god king ruling over the alliance is a foreign concept. Killah has been leading PL since the move to Vale. Other FCs help out when they can so you will see Manny, Mukk, and some other guys who aren't Eve famous running fleets as well.

I became a director because I was literally the only person doing anything in recon. My predecessor was having a quarter life crisis loving chicks topping a deuce and a half in weight. If you do enough work in a sector, and it's good work, and you're not a complete dickhole without social graces you'll easily find yourself becoming a director after passing the eye test. GSF doesn't work without directors, because directors are the people that are dumb enough (myself included) to either herd cats, or enable others to herd cats without the expectation of fame or fortune.
