New Class Leader Suggestion

[Alent]

No, this is not a crucify Feos thread.  There are plenty of those in Rants and Raves.

I just realized as I was reading through the forum today that Cen's basically doing the job of Class Leader...  He has a /level character on test, which used to be unique to the class leads...  Also, the Sorcs recently picked up a Co-class Leader, and both monk and shaman have had two class leads for a while now.

So I put forth the idea that Cennyan needs to be promoted to Co-Class Lead.

anyone second?

I believe he is the Unofficial Class lead but he and a bunch of us help Foes gather info for devs all the time.

[Cennyan]

If I was class lead then I wouldn't be able to tell people to STFU when they're being annoying

[Faime]

Too much red tape involved - we're much better off with Sung remaining as is in support of improving the bard class.

[Suntsu]

I will give a 'second'.

I seek out Cen's posts.  Great provider of relevant info and would be a great co-lead.

I think it should be between the devs, Feos, and Cennyan, but I don't see a reason to change the system that seems to be working now.

Honestly, if I have a question about an ability, I first check all the pinned threads started by Cennyan first. I don't think there's a single person who's done MORE public testing and parsing for the class. But we have to keep in mind, a lot of his success is a team effort, with Liq and Slowfood and all the rest helping.

All in all, I'd be happy with Cennyan as a co-class lead, though. He seems cool and knowledgeable.

[Strider]

I think Cennyan already has the ear of Talisker and Feos making him a great resource for all of us. Keep in mind that if Cennyan suddenly gets access to classified information from Sigil he cannot discover those secrets for us... Besides, I like guys that can say STFU

If we are going to nominate a co-class lead, I would vote for Eric. He is a great communicator, good at keeping the bard community informed about the game in general and the class in particular.

I worship the ground you walk on.      Being in a position to tell someone to piss off when it needs to be done is not something to throw away lightly!

Plus is Sung was the lead, I prob shouldn't tell him off and harass him quite as much. And I like doing that :p

[Cennyan]

An..ee..way....The class leader is chosen by the class lead Dev...ie Talisker.  It's not a voted or nominated position.  Guys I really am quite thankful for the support and the appreciation that everyone has shown me and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but bottom line is that the Dev's chose Feos during beta, and until she decides to step down she is our class leader and I ask that you all support her in that effort.  Me, I'm not an unofficial class leader, or anything of the sort.  I'm a bard, and I want to be the very best bard.  And to do that I have to know everything I can about the class.  That's why I do what I do, because I want that knowledge.  I'm not the political type, nor am I a sugar-coating new's breaker.  I test stuff, I found out about it, then I figure out what needs to be done.  My point is that Feos does what she does very well and I do what I do very well, luckily we both work incredibly well together as do all of the vgbard.com staff and content contributers.  

I would ask that from this point onward we cease discussion of beheading the class leader(not in this thread but there have been others) or nominating co-class leaders (I'm reminded of Co-Chief Dorien from Scrubs).   What matters is that things get done, and they are.  So please, let's focus on the issues we have in front of us, gathering data needed to prove our points, and let's leave the politics to the Devs.
