So hey my two cents is. I feel like Eaed deserves better than this, but I also feel XIII's argument deserves better than a "lol no," which is why I'm willing to open this up for debate. XIII maintains that he never actually relinquished power, just delegated it. He also ran UCA for a long time, and was very successful for the vast majority of that run. Eaed, on the other hand, has been operating this whole time under the impression that this was a permanent shift. He feels that he has been stuck with the hard part of the winding down process, while XIII has come to usurp the cool grand finale stuff.

That's my objective presentation of the arguments. My personal opinion is that Eaed has probably earned the right to call himself an admin. XIII lashed out at the userbase, disappeared for a bit, and delegated all of an admin's responsibilities to others. Eaed took up the more admin-y parts, and we have been working as a team since then, with no more input from XIII than from your average (active) UCA participant. Whether it was intentional or not on XIII's part, I do think Eaed's getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop if he is removed from power now, after carrying UCA through its most recent rough patch. I can't shed any light on whether or not it was clear XIII was planning to come back- I don't recall being in the loop at all until after Eaed's first Ruin.

XIII also proposed going to a three-brand model. That's a reasonabe proposal, but not one that Eaed or I think that UCA can sustain right now. Two shows is plenty with the current level of activity, and frankly, I'm not sure how well the three of us could function as a team. We have different goals and expectations of UCA, our personalities kinda clash, and I suspect there is no going back from a drama bomb of this level anyway.

For that reason I am also probably stepping down as co-admin if the people go with XIII. XIII/Tom has worked well in the past, and I don't hate the dude, but I don't think it would work at this point. I think he'd be happier with full control, and I think I'd be happier letting him have it, and I think UCA would be better off with a consistent vision. I won't take it personally if you think he has a right to come back. I will (I hope) not take it personally if you'd rather have XIIIbooking than Eaed/Tombooking. I think those are valid arguments, even if I don't agree. XIII has stuff to offer UCA, and a semi-legit claim to do so. Eaed and I do too. We're hoping that we can come to a reasonable consensus, but I think at this point it's either him or us. I'd like to do this without drama or hurt feelings, but I don't think either side is willing to back down for that to happen. I think the next best thing is to let UCA decide for UCA. Please discuss.
