Again, ultimately you're right,
but another one of Classics problems over the years is lack of planning,
poor preperation will give you a poor product,
if you start working on something before you even know what it is you're working on you'll get nowhere.

What I want to know is how this is all negated and why is everything being perceived as a great opportunity? Did you not support DC with scripting because you didn't agree with his direction, or was it because it wasn't your direction? Why did both yourself and Master Storm go AWOL even though the server was in a horrible state, yet you seem to be posting as though you have maximum concern for its well being? Why is it that since the Management Review you've only released one thing each, with Storm jumping straight in promoting a 'heavy activity' image, while yours was in spite of a comment I made about nothing being done? All of these things directly contradict what you've posted, and if you've suddenly had an epiphany then I'd question if it really is concerning the well being that sparked it off, more so your job being on the line.

I think you'll find that both me and Storm put more scripting effort and care into Mod Quest than DC himself, and i'm not trying to point fingers or lay blame,
he has said this in his own words, it was one of his self criticisms when he was considering quitting beforehand.
Was this project the idea of myself or Storm?
No, but despite that and the fact I was concerned about the lack of planning that had gone into it, I supported it, I got with Mystic and Storm and we not only started to figure out what we should do with it, but began working on some of those ideas.
As far as activity goes,
it's not that we've made a choice to go AWOL
work/learning/whatever comes before Graal,
it's been an issue with Storm for a while,
and perhaps he should have been removed or have decided to step down at some point in the past, but like it or not he's still here, he's still Manager, we're still depending on him to help move forward, and removing him isn't going to help with that.
In my case, it's not ideal, and something I wouldn't be willing to keep up as Manager if doing forever, but it's only a recent issue and one that won't last a great deal longer, but until then i'm still responsible for ensuring plans are in place and the fact that I am concerned about doing so is not a matter of protecting a jeopardised position, it's about moving forward in a time of further increased need.
And for the record, the Ticket Raffles release had nothing to do with your post,
it just happened to be ready at the time.
