I'm gonna say no to this proposal, but if it does pass I'm not going to say no to being part of the "game council" if such an offer is presented.

The reason map games die is because of, mind my language and no ill intended, stupid players who can't plan ahead and have very sudden changes of mind. The game staffs are to blame from the same thing too. Blame might be a bit too harsh of a word but that's all I can come up with.

Why did Delirium die? Ion didn't have the energy to continue it, plan ahead better next time. Why did Delirium Asia die (or was about to die)? Bad planning on the staff itself and after I had stated some disagreements Soaring, for some reason, was about to kill the whole map game even though people were still playing it. At the same time, the second Delirium suffered a sudden drop of players but woah, what's this, Soaring says that he's gonna keep the game going, better come back even though I said I'm leaving and even gave reasons why. Make up your goddamn minds people.

We do not need people regulating map games, we need actual smart, responsible people to create and play those map games. People who actually have thought "Should I join this map game even though I won't be active after few days?" or "Should I create this map game? What if it's a big success, can I still keep it alive and keep making turns for everyone?". These are the questions that not many seem to ask themselves when they join these games. Bunch of you join dozen map games and then leave because you suddenly have too many map games to handle. Fokin' wot? Why did you join in the first place to so many games?

To wrap up this thing. I just want to say to anyone who screams bloody murder about "map gamez r ded umg pls halp", they aren't. Have you seen the map games taking place in the "Hey" threads? Those are alive and well. Learn something from them. I don't know what, but something. Because those clearly work and some of these map games do not.
