I'd hold me responsible too.
Alright guys, I guess I better start talking. At first when I got chosen as TA, I started thinking of the best way to run the team. Democratically, and let the majority of the team make the decisions. That would have been a good idea, but I think I made a fatal mistake. Tapion, while I really admire your talent to be able to create the site, it is also because of the fact I entrusted you with the final product that we lost. As the leader, I should have been the one to be handling this, not you.
After Day 1, I'll be quite frank about what I was thinking. I was considering coming right back in here and resigning on the spot. But that wouldn't have been fair to you all, because when Furiza stepped down, it could have caused us to lose another team member, and I didn't feel any of you deserved that for what happened. I know I made a commitment to stick this through to the end until I get fired, so I won't just step down, but I'm not going to look for any little slip up you guys made so I could stay alive. You all have the potential to become great staff members in my mind.
Okay, now some thoughts on the task. This sucker was a big one, and a vague one as well. It let us come up with any changes to the site we would like to make, but the problem was, if the site is already quite good, considering they recently updated it, there isn't very much to change. This made my task difficult in passing out roles for who is to do what, so I assigned jobs based on what COULD happen. There were also a lot of people who I sort of tossed around on jobs. I'm sorry about that, but without definite areas to put you all in, because we didn't have many ideas to implement into the site, there weren't many jobs to do.
I did my best to come up with some order to the chaos, but in the end I guess I failed.
Okay, now to my opinion to what each person did:
Android 20- Yeah, me. I tried to run this task in a bit of an unorthodox way, and it was sort of like shooting the moon. The bullet came back and nipped me in the butt. But, I do believe I wasn't very organized, partly due to the fact that I didn't have control of the final product, and also because I didn't have any concrete tasks to assign. If I was to rate myself on a scale of one to ten, I'd give myself a 4.
Krillen- Great job, he did what I asked of him, and voiced his opinion about what to do to try to make the task better. He forsaw what could happen by taking this big of a risk. But, he also did his job, and then some. After he updated the pages I asked him to, he asked me for other things he could do as well, and I really appreciated that.
Tapion- He might as well have been a second TA for the task, because he was running the site, putting the stuff in, and knew what he needed to put the stuff in. Without him, this idea would have flopped terribly, and we would have probably done something similar to Aggro. I have no idea on how to do HTML, so I have no clue as to how hard it was to do all that, so I can't say much more.
Metal Koola- You didn't have a very big job, and I apoligize for that. You were meant to create the new content we wished to implement, such as KB's trained custom moves. However, you didn't do this, when I posted what I needed you to do. But, there could have been a possibility you didn't see it, because of most of the ideas being in one thread. I should have been a bit more organized, but you had one job, and there was only one thing to do in it.
Kid Buu- You went over the top. You really helped out with the team, and then even went so far as to create a kickass banner for us. You had many very creative ideas and the majority of them were put into our changes. You did fantastic.
