Elenduil Speaks About Organization
Berendir @ 11:12 pm EST

I found an interesting post from Elenduil on the Middle Earth Dev. Board. It points out a direction which would better served for the people that frequent the MEDev board to follow.

Long ago, a good deal of us formed a coalition for the creation of a "roleplaying constitution" of sorts. Despite less than stellar leadership in that organization *coughs*, we did manage to complete two chapters of our constitution. It was a grand, almost melodramatic venture, but it was at the very least enjoyable and educational (though not fruitful).

The old development team is gone, and the new one has not yet arrived. Thus, my friends, I see very little point in posting ideas that will be pushed down into oblivion before the new developers even arrive on the scene. Perhaps a more productive venture would be to collect these ideas into a sort of constitution, or pamphlet if you so desire, which can then be presented to the team when they do make their presence known.

Fruitfully time-consuming, or wastefully unnecessary? Hmmmm.....

There are those who hold out that this project has no place to go but down from its current position. I am of this mindset also, but that is irrelevant. There are certain ideas on this board that deserve saving, and a one-time post will not be heeded. Reiteration of a post is monotonous and annoying. Thus, a collective entity of thoughts and ideas might serve your purposes better.

If there are those who so choose to attempt such a venture, then they have my blessing and best wishes. I do not envy the person who would head such an endeavor.

Anyone out there that still has enough interest in Middle Earth Online to take on that challenge? Not I, I spent my time following that game in the past, and I don't think I want to spend too much time on it again, not till I see some renewed promise in it. Anyhow, best luck to anyone that wants to help out with that project.
