I think many of you are only thinking short term, in light of those you've personally seen do well and lead well. This change wasn't only prompted by you all, the community, in the CWRP Survey, but a change deemed necessary for the future of the server: a vision a lot more difficult to comprehend as a single most "player" of the server. It's no secret that the responsibilities of upper management can be overwhelming at times, and when you stack the responsibilities of such important roles on top of that, it can get a little ridiculous I'm sure. When I held my fairly high rank on the server at the time I played, I could only manage both that and my duties as a RP Council because it was summer, and I was jobless. This will not always be the case with others. It would have been only a matter of time before the two canceled each other out, marring the efficiency in one or the other, and that's IF it hadn't already started occurring. In the end, I think you all will favor having individuals as close to your 'label' of possible responsibility in the server, also command the front line ranks, roles, faces, and etc.
Again, I understand it can be hard, now, to witness those you've grown close to, and have been happy to serve under, just be stripped in such short notice, but MANY did not agree with that reality. Some even denounced it as bias on our part, immediately granting high staff ranks the highest roles within roleplay, and I could immediately sympathize with those accusations, me, being able to view a server for once through the eyes of a regular player.
but what do I know, I'm just a dumb darkrp council ¯\(ツ)/¯
