I recognize that quite a few people agree on the need for the balance team, and in fact I think that is being confirmed, so that is good trend. But the controversy seems to be moving to another side. I think there are two major ones, perhaps the following are correct?<br> <br> * Whether or not to partially revert the balance status to 1.16 or earlier.<br> * A couple specific people the project manager wants input from regarding the future of the game.<br> <br> First, I personally am very supportive of reverting back to 1.16 status, but only if it is partial. Resetting all changes is not possible now and seems too extreme. How about tabulating the survey again as reference for the parts to be reverted? It would be great if there was some better way to collect community input, but I cannot think of one right now. But of course, the Google Form should not be used as the standard for reasons of privacy. <blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694444&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694444"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=113928&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">Pentarctagon</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694444&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694444" data-post-id="694444" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 3rd, 2024, 10:42 pm</span></cite> To state the obvious: people will usually give different responses to what they think about other people they need to interact with on a regular basis when asked in private vs in public.

This is an open-source project and discussion should always be more open to people.

But in this case it's been taken to far. It has been announced that the discussions will not be made public. It has (to my knowledge) not been announced that no reasons will be given about why some names were selected over others. Allowing whoever is asked for advice to speak freely without the undoubtedly mob of attacks that they would get is a blessing that pent has decided to give to those he's involved. They do not need to be harassed just because a few people dislike their opinions but won't step up enough to take their place and remove the option of those opinions. This is an open source game and anyone is able to get onto the council, but that doesn't mean that every personal detail of each member needs to be displayed for public perusal. <br> <br> Saying "Hey, it would be nice to be able to have everything disclosed to the public in this process" is okay<br> But the response of "no, I would like to hear honest opinions from trusted sources which can only be given in private without having the potential to cause issues (whether it would or wouldn't doesn't matter)." Is also okay. We should accept that and as lhybrideur said, if it's still considered a problem then just become the next PM and don't do that.</div> <div id="sig694483" class="signature">Take a look at the <a href="http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=26153" class="postlink">Era of the Future!</a><br> Current factions: The Welkin, The Brungar, and The Nordhris!<br> ^This is old news lol but I don't care^<br> New news -> <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=53176" class="postlink"> Up the River Bork Campaign!</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p694484" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile694484"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./download/file.php?avatar=254754_1668871822.png" width="72" height="72" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="username">Roge_Tebnelok</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=254754&sr=posts&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">55</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> November 19th, 2022, 3:12 pm</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> Янтарный Берег (Amber Coast/Bernsteinen Seeufer/Ravgul Strand-kant/Meripihka Rannan)/Elensefar</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content694484"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694484&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694484">Re: The need for a Balance Team</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./posting.php?mode=quote&p=694484&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./viewtopic.php?p=694484&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694484" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="username">Roge_Tebnelok</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2024-11-04T17:44:57+00:00">November 4th, 2024, 5:44 pm</time> </p> <div class="content"><blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694477&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694477"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=108064&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">name</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694477&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694477" data-post-id="694477" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 4th, 2024, 4:07 pm</span></cite> <blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694439&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694439"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=122117&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">gnombat</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694439&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694439" data-post-id="694439" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 3rd, 2024, 10:14 pm</span></cite> <blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694438&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694438"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=113928&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">Pentarctagon</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694438&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694438" data-post-id="694438" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 3rd, 2024, 9:54 pm</span></cite> The person ultimately making the decision will be me, because I'm the project lead and that's part of my job.

Although open source game developers don't have that financial incentive, the game is a result of collaboration between many people - multiple generations of devs, contributors, modders and players who put their effort into public discussions on how to make the game better and later in implementing the changes which lead to the improvment of the game. Private discussions are more more likely to lead to controversial decisions that only drive away people who would otherwise contribute to the project, not attract new ones.</div> <div id="sig694484" class="signature"><em class="text-italics">Omniscience and omnipotence are one and the same.</em></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p694489" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile694489"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./download/file.php?avatar=254754_1668871822.png" width="72" height="72" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="username">Roge_Tebnelok</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=254754&sr=posts&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">55</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> November 19th, 2022, 3:12 pm</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> Янтарный Берег (Amber Coast/Bernsteinen Seeufer/Ravgul Strand-kant/Meripihka Rannan)/Elensefar</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content694489"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694489&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694489">Re: The need for a Balance Team</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./posting.php?mode=quote&p=694489&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./viewtopic.php?p=694489&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694489" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=254754&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191" class="username">Roge_Tebnelok</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2024-11-04T18:58:15+00:00">November 4th, 2024, 6:58 pm</time> </p> <div class="content"><blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694480&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694480"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=185844&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">lhybrideur</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694480&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694480" data-post-id="694480" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 4th, 2024, 4:54 pm</span></cite> If you guys do not trust Pentarctagon decisions, just make him not the next PM.

Now when Penta outright refuses to disclose what he thinks is the best for Wesnoth and why he thinks so, it's impossible to tell if what he thinks is the best for Wesnoth is similar to what players who play Wesnoth and modders who create UMC for the players who play Wesnoth think is best for Wesnoth, and by "Wesnoth" I mean not only the game itself, but also players who play game and modders who create UMC for the players who play the game, who form the community. This impossibility makes it very hard to reach a compromise with Penta.</div> <div id="sig694489" class="signature"><em class="text-italics">Omniscience and omnipotence are one and the

In other words, the problem lies in the fact that this kind of conversation between developers is so opaque to the community. <blockquote cite="./viewtopic.php?p=694498&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694498"><div><cite><a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=113928&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191">Pentarctagon</a> wrote: <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=694498&sid=a052f99361a9ced64ef2b7b29ea77191#p694498" data-post-id="694498" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">November 4th, 2024, 8:49 pm</span></cite> The whole point of having maintainers for specific areas is that they know the area better than I do, so I intentionally don't try to get overly involved in what they do unless it becomes necessary.

In fact, the latter was expressed in response to Duncan's post on the number of people on the team and volunteers who he thinks should get on it, I agreed with him, but added seventh volunteer to make the odd number which will help to avoid ties, namely SkyEnd, but now I think Bolyarich would do better, he's also an MP expert, but didn't yet support the ways of how development process is conducted which lack the transparency on purpose. </div></blockquote> Thanks dude, now that you shared your opinion please stop spamming <strong class="text-strong">off topic</strong> in here, that the candidates and other user don't be discourage to join or share their opinion.
