Heh, thanks Rag, I think ;) Anyway, my two cents on leaders is this: Miriel is the leader of DVS. Do I think Miriel is a better person than me? Heh, sometimes, but that's not the point. Really it has more to do with the fact that that Mir makes way better group descisions than I do. When something goes wrong, I am often amazed at the things that man suggests, the solutions and gracefulness he maintains when I'm all but cursing my freaking head off. I've been in DVS for like two years. A LONG time to be in a LS, and have known Mir for longer than many people know someone they consider thier best friend. He's one of those people you just gravitate to, even someone like me who has been in leadership stuff for a long time. (college RA etc) He embodies what DVS is about, and it's something I like a lot. We run a Democratic LS, Myself and other members run big events all the time, we don't need Miriel to hold our hand. But even when we do he's always there when he can be, in the background, not taking over, just as a show of support. He commands my respect through no powerplay of his own than just his really strong personal character. DVS has a lot of great mini leaders/supports (Jae, Ali, Alek, Sammm, Frig etc.) but Many of us are a little too strong willed or impulsive to make a succesful linkshell, so we just make Mir make all the hard descisions :p lol j/k Anyway you get teh point. I'm a very independant person, I just see nothing wrong with letting a good trusted friend make descisions when I know for a fact he's made better ones in the past and will continue to do so than anyone I know.
Other LS have different goals. I'm not gonna say any one is better than another, 'cause I don't honestly think they are. Neorei I hear runs a good LS with HOCD, Kramer although we may have had our differences was a good sky leader during his time in DVS3, The LOTB leaders have my respect trying to do everything with Bsts in a tottally against the grain kinda way :) Meara I have seen show some great words of wisdom as well. Whoever runs Dark Legacy must be pretty decent at what he does, though I can't attest to all of thier guys playing nice I can say they all have some pretty spiffy ****** Oh and yellowcake's leader does a pretty good job not getting involved in annoying 10 year old style fights up in sky, something I really admire. Though some of the above people have different goals/motives than my home, I have heard good things about them and they seem good at what they do, and that deserves recognition. This server would be boring as hell if Every LS was the same. Some people just want really awesome gear fast. Anything wrong with that? Not at all! There are LS for that, Some just wanna chill and do sky sometimes and sometimes not do a damn thing, and there are LS for that too. Keep up the good work guys.
