The Council's main purpose is not to call into question the ESOC Staff decisions. It's quite the opposite. The Council desires to work in an interdependent relationship jointly with the Staff to satisfy the community.Goodspeed wrote:I don't see the necessity
Why would we need the Council ? We have everything we need.
That's a very legitimate question. However, we feel that there is a greater potential to use the resources in the community to mutually benefit the AOE community. We were inspired by the great role that the ESO C team has taken in the community, and we are inspired by this great work to take a role in ESO C as well.
We have a genuine belief in the importance of democratic values in ESO C, and believe that this could be a big stepping stone on that. We would also like to call out all the support we have received from eminent ESOC members, as we can only be thankful. Because of this, we are considering collecting signatures for a petition urging the Administrators to create the ESOC Council group. We are of course aware that the last word belongs to you and that you'll take the best decision for the shared interests of the AoE3 community as a whole.
