Again and again: It is possible to predict a person's competence. The most competent person should be selected, even if his competence stems directly from his experience. This isn't about sharing, it's about establishing a strong administrative team. Maybe that hasn't been served by the current system, but your suggestions aren't any better.

we could benefit by bringing in new ideas from new people
Are people not already able to submit ideas?

What does my English have to do with anything?
You misinterpreted something. It was written in English. How obvious do I need to make this?

Quote:
As far as I’m concerned, I haven't "misinterpreted" anything
Maybe you just pretended to. In either case, I explained in my previous post.

-Assorted roleplaying rules-
Congratulations. Now, do you think that understanding every script command would make you a good scripter? You have described the bare basics of roleplaying, and certainly not proven your competence with the art itself.

Now Script Monkey, do you want me to go role-play on the Dustari Kingdom forum to show "substantial evidence?" I’ll go grab Zurkiba and he can be the big bad wolf trying to eat Gryffon and I have to go save him
Quote:
I think the real question is… Should anybody take you seriously when you are not even involved at all with the role-playing community?
And the real answer is: Yes, of course. Don't be ridiculous. The validity of a person's opinions isn't determined by his investment in the result.

I disagree; you are the one that has driven the thread off-topic with ad ignorantiams
Let me guess: You looked up the fallacy I referenced and went searching for some that you thought you could use against me. Unfortunately you failed, in two ways:

1) I have not, at any point, argued that you lack roleplaying skills. I have noted an absence of evidence, but not interpreted this as evidence of absence.
2) Such comments would, obviously, be on topic. This thread is made to discuss the position of Roleplaying Admin, and evaluating possible candidates suits that purpose.

This isn’t A1 to B6, I sunk your battleship. I'm just mocking you because your assumption of me being out-of-control is unfounded.
And I'm just informing you that you're not very good at mocking. People can reason for themselves on the evidence provided. Personally I'm not taking this thread as good indication of your maturity.
