I have a say in the IDL, and I am not playing actively. Why am I on the board? Bones asked me to! I guess because I&#039;ve played a lot and know a lot and think a lot and whine a lot. Thing is, what reason would I not have to give input and opinion on whatever? It&#039;s up to other people if they want to take it into consideration.<br /><br />It sounds to me like the people arguing that you shouldn&#039;t have a say in the IDL if you don&#039;t play in it for a length of time are the same type of people that would subvert and manipulate the votes and choices board members generally make and twist them for their own benefit. I do not see an issue in experienced, weathered veterans (Take hatred for instance) pitching in on matters that can affect a wide variety of players. Because they&#039;re capable of standing back and asking &#039;How would this affect everyone / these angles /etc&#039; instead of stroking their Jafar beard and selfishly voting for what would tip the scales in their favor in the season ahead.<br /><br />I do not believe there is a middle ground. One or the other!<br /><br />I would like to echo Beast&#039;s entire post, basically. Dude owned the thread. If the board/commissioner doesn&#039;t want your opinion, they/he doesn&#039;t want it. I think that&#039;s the deal.
