Jesus, that's a lot. Here's the first five while I type up the next few.
1) I usually spend a minimum of 2 hours on here perusing the forums. As far as responding to half-assed ideas, I try to provide input that hasn't already been gone over on threads with at least a little bit of original thought. I'm also not bad at being able to filter out what people have put thought into, and which person wants a Halo armor/gun/ship.
2)The closest issue to my heart is the holy trinity of offense/defense/maneuver. Right now maneuver/offense are kind of off the charts good, while defense kind of suffers. I really wanna see this fixed/defense patched up to be up to snuff. The meta right now is really just "drop swarm missiles and jump" and that isn't fun for anyone.
3)Yes, with money, and I'd love to see Megacrafter get hired.
4)Schema's a cool guy. I've spoken to him personally a few times and he's nice. The one thing he really struggled with was communication with the public, or at least its regularity. I feel that this has been somewhat patched with the dev blogs, and I am interested to see where the council goes.
5)
"Not my problem"
MF is an autonomous channel with no bearing to the council or schine. What they do is their business.
