User blog:Carnarvan/When You Point a Finger...

 "When you point a finger at someone, look at your hand. There are three fingers pointing back at you." I am going to be honest and straight-forward here, as is my usual. The lack of activity on DARP is not the fault of AI. I will admit, that as the leader of AI, the buck stops with me, so anything that is on AI is on me. However, I will not stand for the rest of the wiki blaming my team that are trying our best to bring activities and other such thingss to the wiki. We're all adults on AI. All of us have jobs. We all have responsibilties and obligations in the real world. I will admit, I may have left an impression that I'd be around a bit while working on the boat. I was wrong. I apologize for that. I simply don't have a lot of time. I do exhasuting, back-breaking work every single day from at least 0800 to 1800. I get one day off a week... maybe. However, I'm going to stop making excuses for my lack of activity. I understand that I should be around more, I'm just telling you why I'm not. I will not however, let the wiki use my team as a scapegoat for the lack of activity. You got a problem with AI, you got a problem with me. Simple as that. Now, I'm going to tell you who I think is responsible for the lack of activity. The real world. We're all old enough to understand that sometime you get busy during life. I think this dip in activity is one of those times. It's not fair or right to blame one person or a certain group of people, which is a pattern of behiavor I've noticed on DARP, and quite frankly if I have anything to say about it, it stops now. We are a team. I don't know how many times I've said it before, but I'll say it again. The key to making this wiki work is teamwork. Which means you don't blame anyone specific if the team doesn't succeed. It's on the team as a whole. That's how the real world, so if I have any say, that's my vote as to how the wiki should work. So in short, look at the quote I posted at the top of my blog post. That pretty much sums up the message I have been trying to deliver through this. You can't blame anyone else for the failure of a team, so I won't let the wiki use my team that have been working their asses off while I've been gone, as a scapegoat for something that is out of control. Not while I'm head of AI. On a lighter note, the picture above is the boat I've been working on.
