[COLOR="White"]I actually feel for you, smoke.

If I happened to be in that position, and was forced to play a role that I didn't want to, I would simply ask to be excluded from any such event as a peaceful protest, and would simply take part in the events where I wasn't forced to play as a captain or leader, unless I felt like taking on that responsibility.

It also probably won't do any good to blast away at the staff members on the forums, but instead, stay cool. maintain. Perhaps you should have quietly contacted Taran, calmly stated your case, and requested a change in policy, as far as your situation is concerned. The staff answer -only- to Taran, and pretty much no one else, so the best way to affect change is to appeal to their superiors.

Ultimately, it's your choice, though. And until Taran sees fit to update this policy, the staff unfortunately -do- have the power to force someone to be a captain if they choose to do so, as unfair as it may seem to you.

While I understand your frustration, let's not turn this into a nasty thread.[/COLOR]
