Besides, my retirement is more of an indefinite leave of absence. 
. . .
With no teams making the ballot this election season, I was inspired with an idea to form what I'm calling, the Town of Odyssey Development Committee, which would serve as a group for people interested in the Town's prosperity. This is not a group where members would have special colored names or powers, such as admin or moderator abilities. Think of it more as a faction group, only we won't have a special forum for this committee.
If a faction proves to be necessary, then we will use the Eco/Tech Committee usergroup. And if ACP access is needed for a certain thing, then Catspaw will give temporary permissions to the appropriate people.VISION
Ideally, the goal of the Development Committee would be to address issues ToO citizens have put forth in recent months/years, and come up with ways to resolve said issues. Issues like, lack of activity, outdated phpBB software, what to do with "dead" factions, and obtaining new members more regularly. Essentially, our start would be confronting a lot of the matters Bob brought up in his campaign.
But things don't have to stop there, to reiterate, the topics just mentioned would be a good starting point, but I see this group having so many different possibilities and uses. Currently, our focus would be on website and community development, however, in the future we could even organize hosting an event (or get other people to do so). We could even come up with ways to encourage citizens to run in elections. Ways to help improve are endless.
TIME COMMITMENT
I don't have a set duration for this committee. My idea was for it to simply be a group of people who like to get involved and are always looking for ways to improve things around town, big or small. So committing tons of time is not necessary. If you have the time however, go for it! If not, whatever you can offer would be great.
