So I think I'm caught up now, so Mittens is actually leaving? I wonder who's going to take over.

It'll be a mexican standoff with who can say "I don't want to do it" the loudest and the person who starts wavering first gets the job.

The reason this scenario where no sane person wants the job keeps happening is because noone should do it, everyone just continue to sunk costing themselves into keeping the monster shambling on for another cycle. Let it die.

That’s the thing isn’t it? No one in their right mind would actually want to do what amounts to a full time job managing goons for free and if they DO want that, then something is horribly wrong with them.

Mitten's ex-wife was in Russia for PhD work, and when she got held up by the FSB, he decided to use this to drain her bank accounts, steal her dog, give away her cats and divorce her and go live with his mistress while she was trapped in another country.

It sounds like he did her dirty. Makes me wonder if he slipped hashish-laced vape cartridge's in her bag. I hear the Russians don't like when that happens.

Regarding the IT transfer poo poo -- xttz is right. At least as of five years ago, there's no way to quickly transfer over the keys to the IT poo poo. There just isn't. The Bus Factor of GSF IT is 1, for every conceivable item in the list. There are no turnkey solutions for alliance infrastructure. There was no one crosstrained in it.

The only situation in which GSF IT can be turned around quickly is one where GSF is utterly destroyed. If GSF being utterly destroyed is what you're after, then more power to you; I've got no further clarification to do or complaints to make. However, if your goal is anything even closely resembling a future for GSF with the undesirables purged, you have no option other than to work with the shitters for this very, very narrow slice of the process. To assume or demand otherwise is ignoring the reality on the ground to a degree similar to being surprised that pouring boiling water on your skin hurts. It sucks, but it's how it is.

By the way, this is a textbook way to make anything “systemic” and nearly impossible to remove.

That and when things are interconnected in even the smallest ways.

I was really surprised that GSF didn’t get heinously hosed with Solo leaving but he must have been benevolent enough.

I imagine whoever did all the API poo poo is irreplaceable because no one ever thought they would NEED to be replaced.

There's more than enough lovely things he's done without making things up (that's not why, and i'm not going into detail on it other than it being typical russian/fsb bullshit).

While his 'resignation' self-justification was bullshit (Sitka was never his dog for example), people posting things that are easy for his defenders to dismiss reinforces the narrative he's trying to push.

Don't do that.

Roudin came up earlier in this thread and there are some things about him that require some additional context. He used to run the Madison Monthly Meetup. As early as 2017 based on comments he'd made at MMMs it was clear dude was a Nazi. I made a fair amount of noise about this to mittens, and when nothing happened I stopped going to MMMs. During 2018 Winterswarm Roudin assaulted me at plan b/prism/whatever the gently caress it was called at the time. I later tell Mittens, Mittens tells me to tell Nom, nothing ever happens. In hindsight I should have made more noise about this at the time, but this was right after Hole Squad imploded and I was pretty much checked out of the game anyways so it didn't feel worth the effort.

unrelated, but if y'all are serious about a hole violence reboot under these prism dudes I'd be down as long as I don't have to run it.

i've posted about a HOLE SQAD reboot under PRISM but also there are no concrete plans or anything.

I'm in wait'n'see mode, post-purge - apparently the script for 'waffe was broek - for things to shape up or fall down with GSF.

E; also the fact that a loving assault went completely unhandled is digusting but tracks with the way that apparently everything else was handled: shove it under a rug and hope the survivor gets tired.

Yeah I thought so.

Solo was a loving demon. He was legit the only person in GF that actually terrified me. I felt like I was a schoolkid talking to him. "Uh excuse me... Mr Drakban. uh. I was just wondering if you had a copy of yesterday's physics homework. I'm really sorry I wasn't here yesterday. All my parents died in a car crash and I broke both my legs and my arms but I really dont want to upset you so please give me all my missed work so I can catch up and never attract your attention again".

I hope he's doing well for himself.

It's also, by far, the easiest way to implement the system, especially when you're making it up as you go along. Additionally, because the methods by which coalition-scale IT is created is a highly-guarded secret by every alliance and coalition (due to the massive amount of power it gives you in-game,) there's no best practices guidelines for implementing it. It essentially has to be built from scratch by anyone who wants to have it. Which is a long way of saying "it was made up as they went along."

Nobody is "irreplaceable" if one accepts that things will be hosed for a couple of months. Sure, operations will be as smooth as broken glass for a while, but change is hard.

Expecting 100% uptime is a sure way to ensure nothing substantially changes in terms of personnel.

Here's the thing. You need to let go of this idea that this can be some smooth sailing wholesale handover where they walk away and everything is fine. Like it or not, there will be damage to the day to day functioning of the alliance because of this and it's not because of 'the mob' or whatever, it's because a decade plus of toxic leadership puts down roots whose removal cannot help but cause damage to the entire structure.

The headline names have to go immediately. Anyone who has covered for them in the past needs to follow right after. Anyone who endorsed the initial response this past week should not be in a leadership position going forward. This is the baseline for recovery, anything else is just papering over the problems.
