Semi serious?

I don't think you really understand how Development works here, people are able to choose what projects they'd like to work on. No one tells the Contributors what to work on, they decide for themselves and we simply tell them if they can do it or not. This system works as it means people are generally doing something they enjoy and aren't being forced to do anything. Contributors can work on large things if they wish and it's generally better for Developers to do the minor small things as it's quicker. As soon as we start forcing people to do stuff, nothing is ever going to be done.

We don't have limits slots in the Development team, we can take on new people whenever we can't so I don't really understand the "let others take your position" argument. We don't have the same luxury as the Administration team to be strict as Developers are hard to come across for FL. The current system for Development is the best and it does work fine as things are actually getting done for the first time in a while. We do have a head of Development (Tomo) who does get involved, however you're pretty much asking him to boss everyone around and tell them exactly what to do which won't work in the slightest. We do ask Contributors on status every once in a while and Developers usually keep their thread updated. We do ask Contributors what's up if it looks like they're not making much progress, however I don't really see what else you want us to do.

I can tell you there is for sure structure, that's why we have someone overlooking us and it's the same for the Administration team. This is the most active Development team we've had in a while too, so it's obvious it's working.

Typical FL. Always the same old system and structure which has been used. I spoke to Wolf a long time ago so I do know how it works but what I am saying is that this isn't really a structure as you say ... People do this in their free time, sure well I do lead my local political party in real life in my free time and it would go to hell if we didn't have structure and well .. See where FL is today .. You can defend FL's old systems and ways of doing, but that doesn't make it sound better or makes the system even better. You are not open to others opinions to the old systems and ways of doing things. Take the criticism from someone who actually leads people in real life and by the way ... I am also a coder so I do know how it is with projects etc. Maybe haven't worked here at FL with development, but as I said; I do have experience with leading in real life and not just on a game.
