Under New Management

Good morning/afternoon/evening ladies and gents. As you are all aware, I'm Forest, and I'd like to take the time to share with you a change that will affect XenoGamers in a way that will hopefully lead to a more community-friendly leadership. This concept was suggested by our previously beloved Co-Leader (serbian) and was then fortified by deep discussion. We hope that with this new type of leadership, decisions will be based on accurate discussions and no longer solely based on the decision of a single person (Co-Leaders). Now, without further ado, it is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the new rank that will replace the old obsolete Co-Leader rank. The new and improved group of:

Community Leaders!

Yes, I realize that it's still abbreviated as CL and it's not much of a stretch from the previous name, BUT that's not the point. This group will have the same priorities and duties as the previous Co-Leaders, but there are a couple of changes:

1. This group will not have special powers ingame. Yes, that means they will not have all of the god-like powers that the previous Co-Leaders were blessed with. Reason being, this group is to reflect the community, and as such, they do not require powers on our Servers as it will not reflect the title appropriately.

2. This group will not be in charge of providing a vouch for any returning ex-Members in terms of Member Submissions. The previous rule in "Member Submission Guidelines" has been altered to reflect this change, and will now require a vouch from the Division Leader of the appropriate Division being applied for instead of the previously needed "Co-Leader vouch".

Any other responsibilities of the previous Co-Leader will now be dealt with by the Community Leaders (this includes making decisions based on the best interests of xG, working on Promo/Demos, as well as other duties). This group consists of five members, all of which were selected in regards to particular traits and characteristics that are ideal for this rank. Now I'll bet everyone is curious to know just who these people are, so I'll drop the suspense. I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to our new Community Leaders:

Along with the addition of Community Leaders, another rank was made to reflect technological changes and alterations to XenoGamers. This rank is known as the "Developer" rank, and those currently in it are our very own Rhododendron and Nomulous. Rhododendron is in charge of web related issues, this includes any website bugs or glitches that he should be aware about. If there are any problems regarding the site/forums, make sure to notify him. Nomulous is the server Developer, he is in charge of any glitches or bugs that are Server related. He will also notify our Higher-Ups with any issues and will work alongside them to fix the problem as soon as possible. Developers will also be working with the Community Leaders as well. Keep in mind that they will also be making decisions on whether or not a mod or plugin will be added, depending on how it will benefit the clan. Explanations will be given as to why these mods/plugins won't be added .

I'd like to thank all of you for your patience in waiting for a new Leadership. I realize a large portion of you were expecting a new Co-Leader or Co-Leaders, but the decision to have a group instead of a single individual calling the shots seemed like a much better alternative. This will replace the previous (essentially) 'dictatorship'. Also keep in mind that since this group is new, there are bound to be a few brick walls that I'm sure will be worked over.

With the addition of this new rank, I would also like to make it known that I will now be a Member and no longer hold a Higher-Up rank. I will still be here to advise and give input, but Leadership will now be taken over by the Community Leaders.

Have any grievances? Suggestions? Post em below. If you have problems with the current Members of the group, by all means give your opinion, but keep it civil people. I don't want to see a bunch of butt-hurt.
