Once again I will try to answer all your questions/concerns.

This thread is not being heavily moderated. Valid points are being permitted since we are discussing forming a global team. Or, as Cyan said, you could send me a forum pm. I'd prefer not to assume whom all you're referring to since there are several people with questionable pasts in the list. By the way, I thought you were quitting for a year or so?

Tig is the guilds admin and had to be the one to set it up in the first place. He answered your question on the title.
Xor is still helping with the transition of his replacement there. This has not interfered with his duties as a PWA and doesn't hurt the Playerworld by removing a high staff of theirs and leaving them high and dry.
Bell: You're right, I don't develop although I DID develop so I'm not entirely clueless to the process. My role here is purely to get it set up and rolling. After that I will back off and let the team run themselves.
TSA: He's Australian, chances are he's asleep when you're awake.
fowlplay4: Time will tell but there will be those that are willing to develop but abhor answering questions so regardless of his involvement it will still benefit Graal.
Vulcan: Advanced development will be the ranking (for lack of a better word) used for members that can add new members to the team and General development will be used for members that have multiple skills. These could actually be changed as we found to be necessary but the original setup was to help determine who did what so we could try to fill in the gaps on missing skills.

Thats correct. Since they will be a subdivision of the PWA it just made sense to have them included for the sake of continuity.

He's just the only one in that ranking right now. I think you're considering this as a rank like in a normal guild but the ranks themselves are just being converted into departments based on skills. All are of equal rank and rights with the exception of Advanced which can add members.

He better be or I'll hunt him down and kill him. He got me into this in the first place.

Why do you think I brought this to the forums in the first place for advice. I wasn't involved in any of the old teams so really have no idea how they worked. My intent although everyone has failed to remember was to ask for advice on setup and implementation of it.
Ranks can be changed, this was set up for organizational purposes. What do you feel isn't appropriate on them?

When they can run themselves the PWA won't be running it. We will be a team cooperating with each other for the betterment of Graal. Past members of the former global teams are responsible for the rights reduction. Those rights will have to be earned back by the new team. It didn't hit just the GDT, it hit the PWA as well. In a former life I would of had a level 4 rc and lifetime everything, while I currently have a level 2 globally and get a year of gold at a time while I am still working. I live with it and do what I can with what I have and don't bother worrying about what was the past.

Duly noted, one thing this team will have to remember is to keep their ego's in check and their anger management issues outside of Graal. If they don't always get their way they are free to find a place to develop outside the global team.

Project coordination would be especially helpful. I know there are a flood of ideas out there that would need someone to get all the right people together to get them moving and keep them moving.
