Hi, Merri.
I would be willing to take over leadership again of the Backstage/Intermission pearl. I mostly say this as one of the founders who helped lead it in the past. However, I have no intentions of acting as a leader aside from simple pearl setup; distribution; and RP shell advertising.
I'm much more willing to take control again because from S/E's words, LS management will be much easier to control with systems such as LS log in messages, ability to give pearl distributor status and the ability to boot anyone, anywhere. However, I doubt that last of those will be needed seeing how well the Skype Backstage has been over these past few months.
As in terms of Leadership. I intend on giving everyone pearl distributor status, this way they cannot be booted by other members but also allows everyone to invite their RP friends and what-not.
Hopefully if LS management has a system similar to free companies with leadership. I would nominate, Kylin as Big Boss but only in the sense of giving him guranteed "Middle Man" status. This would allow the shell to continue to run as normal and let the members decide what they want to do. After they decide who wants to step up, Kylin can come in and just give the status back to whoever is next in line and go back into the shadows. I only bring Kylin up because he is the RPCs head management, so he would be a neutral influence.
An example would be: Gospel is Big Boss of Backstage but for whatever reason he gets bored and quits FFXIV. After a set amount of days, the Big Boss status would bump down to Kylin. Now Kylin wouldn't have to lead the shell at all. He just runs the RPC so he's a reliable person in terms of being online. The members of Backstage however will be responsible for deciding who they want to have Big Boss status. Once they decide on someone, Kylin logs on and gives that status to whoever. (This is all going on assumption that LSes will have this feature.)
That's pretty much how I would run things. However, I would like to make it perfectly clear that "Big Boss" status is not a gift, it's not a title and does not give you anymore right than any of the other members. You are and will be everyones equal. I'm only stepping up for this because I've ran the shell in the past and I'm mostly online 24/7 I really have no intentions of settling disputes in the shell, as I feel most people are adults and should be able to handle things like that themselves.
Anyways, that's my offer, not just to Merri but to everyone of Backstage.
