CNS Consul Report #2 - July 29th, 2006

---

1. Introduction (My Turn To Rant)
   

Hey, since everybody on multiple sides of various arguments want to rant at me, maybe I'll just rant at you guys for a change.

Alright, I've noticed a few things this week. First, I've learned that as Consul I cannot make everybody happy. Second, some of you have temper problems and overreact to crap. In my responses to you guys, I try to be nice, and yet people continue to be belligerent. I didn't expect to have to deal with this. "Everybody gets along with Manesh!"

I've also noticed that Thorin cannot seem to make any action in this clan without an uproar being caused. And I'm wondering if that's more because you guys just hate his guts and are hoping for him to fail, or what? Why don't you guys tell Thorin that you don't like him if you don't? I know you want to say it, but are hesitating. Say it! "I hate Thorin's guts and they should never have made him RM and Manesh should banish his ass from the clan."

And I know some of you think I'm weak because "Manesh won't stand up to Thorin. He lets Thorin push all of these reforms because Thorin is a power hungry bitch."

You know what's funny too? I've been accused of being the Keibatsus' bitch. God I hate families. Look what it does to people. Shame on people for "taking sides."

And, guess what...your Consul doesn't give a damn about "rules of seven" and crap. I don't know every arcane and silly rule in this clan. You should have known that already. But hey, since it obviously matters to you guys, fine. Hell, as Consul I'd go around destroying all of these silly rules if I didn't think it'd cause an uproar.

You know, I'm going to make unpopular decisions. Everyone probably thought that if I were Consul I'd give people want they want. Well, I can't make everybody happy. Maybe you shouldn't have made me a Dark Adept. I didn't want it nor did I think I deserved it.

You guys jumped on Korras too. You are responsible for turning a great, friendly DB member into a guy who didn't feel appreciated and even hated by some of you guys. Being Consul is like being booed at the Apollo. You're a harsh audience. Hey, maybe you'll drive me crazy too and we'll be looking for a new Consul in 3 months. But hey, thankfully I'm incredibly stubborn and I don't give up easily.

I'm not in a good mood now. It will affect the quality of this report. Congratulations Clan.

1. Conclusion
   

You know, I pretty much spend my free time (after work and classes) dealing with friendly requests (which is okay) and people ranting, DB related. Wow, I haven't gone out or done anything to relax in 10 weeks. And guess what, time spent dealing with people who don't like each other takes away from GJW time. The graphics event ends in 4 days and I haven't even started my submission.
