you know, with like a veteran op who's fair and knows how to run it
Please, elaborate on where I went wrong, where I was unfair as the OP, or where I failed to run this properly.
Was it the expansionist view I had of my nation from when the AC started out and blazer hosted this to a point during my own administration?
Is it the fact that my nation does well where others haven't always?
Is it that I more or less trust the people to behave themselves and not have to come to me over every issue?
Is it that I allow input from the roleplayers?
Please, educate me. If you have some scientific approach to being the OP, I'm all ears. All I can say is that this is my first time hosting one of these that ever had any momentum (though I've played in quite a few, some of the #.0s, Anagaea, &c.). And I thought I did a pretty good job considering the presence of a variety of active nations, 40 pages of roleplay, and not too much in the way of people being dolts.
If you all want to start a new version of this, whatever, have at. But I think the least you could do is provide a better reason than "We've not played well enough to be here so therefore the OP is corrupt." I won't & can't stop you from leaving, but I would appreciate it if you would put your frustrations aside for a moment and consider this like rational people.
