at this rate by the time DayZ is complete, or playable, there would be about 5,000 people who still care so basically Bohemia could at some point in the future simply gradually divert funds and resources from the game and cash some mad bank.

I can provide several examples of what I consider to be clear evidence of an "inner circle" within ReddFaction. The first being you and your position. You preside over a 1-ish man org, yet you were grandfathered in with the other groups. As Joe pointed out, the other groups were fairly loyal to you, and you gained a seat on the Supreme Council.

The second is UFS and the Gold Council. Nano was quick to seize power as the comptroller and appoint a member of his own org (who rarely showed at meetings) to the Citizen's advocate position. This is a position that is supposed to voice concerns of all general members of Gold, and to be a part of an org is sure to be a conflict of interest. Nano failed to do this democratically, and he was essentially guaranteed at least 2 votes, with another coming from a very loyal follower. The first election, I voted for Nano because he was really the only one who put himself forward. I knew nothing about him. The second election, Nano had used his votes and had secured a split even before I saw the thread, so I had little option to vote him.

And Rhone, this is directed at you, but I have it on good authority that you didn't attend many, if any, Gold Committee meetings, so it seems you shoulder at least some of the burden for the issue of lack of communication.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gold never had more than 4 or 5 meetings. I attended 2 and sent another representative to at least another two (where he was denied my vote, even though I had given him permission). I'm sorry if I missed one.

Could you please state which matters these include? I don't recall any secrecy or acting in private on my part. I wont disagree with us being bad at keeping records, but part of that is simply a lack of things to keep a record off. Again, recent steps have been made to improve communication.

One example was when the Supreme Council met and decreed that all MOs must have ReddFaction in their banner. This was never brought to my attention as a matter of discussion, and as such I had no way of communicating my opinion to my Rep, Nano. I also received a very forceful PM about it, which was upsetting.[1]

A second major example was the activities of the Department of the Interior, led by Forevermoore. Apparently, he had sent out diplomats to several major orgs, and in so doing, had aggravated some of them. It was supposed to be in the committee's power to allow organizations to join, so surely reaching out to them should have been sanctioned by the committees. If I had any say in the matter, I would have certainly objected to this, but it was all conducted in secrecy, and we only found out after an irritated XPLOR let a Supreme Council Rep know what had happened.
Hope that clears it up.

Is this a high-concept Star Citizen parody? "Give us 2,000,000 and it'll be an actual game. Give us 1,000,000 and you can at least move your ship. Less than that and you just get to stare at it all day."
