State of the V:EKN - May 1

I'm just curious, because normally the quietest groups of people tend to have the most non-linear (and sometimes, most thought-out) views, what is the opinion of your area?
I'm just sitting back hoping wounds can heal (maybe by the time the NAC gets here ?) and that our IC pulls off a miraculous set. i have alot of respect for the IC, the current design team, and for the members of the design team that have stepped down.
It's unfortunate that differences were had and unresolved, but all of these individuals are good people, and have alot of love for the game. I don't see any gain for us as a community to argue at our keyboards over what has happened.
I'm sad to see the design team issues become what they did, and i'm not entirely sure what to make of all of the state of the vekn statement yet, but it looks like they're addressing several problems and concerns that we've been voicing.
i understand the turmoil is on everyones mind, but is noone going to be optimistic that at least companies are discussing buying the game?

Have the National Coordinators already approved this new structure?

Were the NC’s consulted and allowed the opportunity to provide input?

So far there has been no answer to these two simple questions by any members of the IC. I think these valid questions deserve to be answered.

As far as I understand the role of a National Coordinator, they/we don't need to be consulted in such matters.
Personally I don't care much about being consulted in this case, mostly because I don't have much to add to the decision that needs to be taken (if any).

No matter how much time, money and effort we spend on V:tES, in the end it is still just a game. A game that needs to be played.
The fact that busloads of volunteers spend time to make this game better, and to organise play for other people is greatly appreciated by players around the world.
The fact that those volunteers do not always agree on certain things is understood by those very same players.
The fact that the disagreeing volunteers start arguing over the interent: I'm pretty sure that after more than 20 years of internet, we have all seen worse...

At this moment I have the impression that things are not leading to a better vtes but to a verdict about who is right or wrong.
I will conclude with the words I told my predator/prey in a tournament game from last week: "Let's play this game, we can be friends after that".

My point of view is:

When everything lies with democracy, why in such important things we can't vote?

Maybe the IC members should??? or the NC???

Ok, some of the NC's doesn't care about this situation or anything at all. But some do. So maybe its time to do something together?
or it's just a simply though of an impossible idea???

p.s. I'm feeling like I was said to much now I will remain silent...
