When I felt there was no further recourse to appeal my situation as part of the Design Team, I had to go public.

Let's be honest: You did not HAVE to go public. There was no procedure, person, or force coercing you to make public previously private issues. Your choice was to go public to make known what you perceived to be existing issues.

Let's be honest : if you fear that kind of thing going public, there is a problem bad enough to be public.

The fact that it have actually worsened after that is also enough proof for me. The thing that I am not sure is what happened and whether the IC is very bad at handling problem or is actively trying to bleach its underpants so that nobody took them red handed.

More importantly, those [Inner Circle] positions are not defined vis a vis the National Coordinators, who clearly play some role in their election.

Moreover, it disturbs me that the NCs are not being consulted on this important structural matter.

You do realize you're stating something and its opposite in two consecutive sentences?
Or do you mean that one of them should be read as what you think it is/what you think it should be?

VEKN is not a huge corporation.
Nor it is a money making entity; actually there is, AFAIK, no money involved at all in VEKN.

All that we need is capable volunteers that are willing to devote their own free time, free of charge, to the game that we all love. No one is about to benefit money-vise from VEKN.

We do not need rigid guidelines and rules to resrict common sense. All we need is to have the things run smoothly in our VTES-train, not people pulling emergency brakes for, the way I start to see it, their hurt egos.

I see little reason for the Inner Circle or the Chairman to ask the legion of NCs, many of which don't really feel the need to hang around here or follow up the daily minutae, about basically anything.

Earlier on in this thread I noticed [EDIT:]Mr Amenophobis irrately demanding answers to the questions he had prepared in goo dtime -how long would you think it would take to answer if IC/Chariman needed NCs to consult/vote for all such minuae things? Day? Two? Week? Three weeks? Personally I'd be inclined towards the latter and even then all NCs wouldn't have taken part in the decision.


Kinda appropriately I'd be inclined to comment that like, say, Camarilla in the game, VEKN isn't a bleeding democracy.

Nor does it need to be.
Things have been running well enough without it being such.
Actually better than under White Wolf.

So please stop rocking the boat, m'okay?
