Not sure why. Breyer's is almost as expensive as the other premium brands but I don't like it nearly as much.
Have you ever had Bluebell? I think the south almost stated the 2nd civil war when it was withdrawn from the shelves, lol

Nope. I haven't had that one. I think I've seen it before, but not recently and not around here.

I'm still not a fan of the 10dmg choice, but it makes sense with what the designers were going for. I suggest better thinking, not more thinking. Here are some good quotes from a political Science class I took in college that deal with determining truth. Reality can be defined as the truth, the real nature of something Face reality as it is ... not as you wish it to be The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. - Winston Churchill We should have our designers memorize these. ...and our presidential candidates. Wait, no, - not memorize, actually use!

I made customs at GenCon for the first time ever. 4 of them. Or maybe 3 and a half. The Malakili didn't turn out so well. Still needs quite a bit of work.

We have a Cuisinart ice cream maker. So far (this summer) we've made two batches of strawberry, two vanilla, one dark chocolate and one blueberry. Next on the list is peanut butter. I'll push for small/grated chocolate. The strawberry was so good I'd have pulled the ears off a Gundark for another bowlful. (fortunately all that was necessary was making that second batch)

Okay, I'm not being sarcastic, but I'm curious how likely you think it is that the leadership committee would work out the way you're envisioning? There is already the design team and the Balance Committee, and you have voiced problems with the current situation. Are you sure another leadership group will alleviate your concerns instead of compounding them? I assume the idea is that the leadership committee is directly created by the community, as opposed to how the design team is created?
I haven't kept close tabs, but it seems like in the past, when someone brings up a problem, it only resulted in action when quite a bit of the community was on board with it. I guess from my perspective, the design team and balance committee are already doing a good enough job, and in my experience they've listened to the community and adapted accordingly.
TL;DR: Why would a leadership committee do a better/worse job at dictating the future of the game than the Design Team? In my opinion, the design team already does a good job of listening to the community - have you found otherwise, and thus advocate for a community-voted committee?

In my opinion, the design team already does a good job of listening to the community - have you found otherwise, and thus advocate for a community-voted committee? Yes the community would pick the members of the committee. right now you have no one dictating the future of the game, you have each individual set doing whatever they want, within the scope of playtesting of course, which does and does not catch every problem. If you remember during the vehicle debacle the very next set of desingers said screw your designs with the buzz droid and the lin demo, and barris offee. The leadership committee would address problems with bad designs/designers, yes they exist and yes some are still designing. They would eliminate those people from the process. They would also be in charge of trying to drive the game forward, as was stated earlier the game has no corporate backing so growth is hard. in my visions the leadership group would take the forefront in promoting the game at the local and even national level through facebook posts, invitations to players that play similar games, utilization of vassal to grow the game etc. The balance committee's job and approval is up for debate, I am not attacking them, I think they made some fantastic changes in the past but fell short on some, and didn't do anything about others, but hey I will take the changes they did do over no changes in a heartbeat, so thanks for those corrections. Getting the leadership committee right would be imperative but that's part of it I guess.

My banter on here was an attempt to diffuse some escalating tension, not to hijack the thread. Sorry if that happened.
Since my name has come up to be a member of this council, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to comment on the need or makeup of it.
