[Discuss] Accusations against Titans and Developers

[Björn Falkenström]

Sorry for being too late on this, but my internet has not fuctioned until 
now. I agree that even if Tom chooses them, there aren´t going to be a 
garantee for good titans. The problem I see is that many many many has 
expressed their dislike when Titans who has played on one island for what 
many would consider to be a long time and then get choosen to become the 
titan over that island. Also when other titans has been choosen who has 
expressed themselves, clearly showing bias. Then people protest and if they 
protest, they get locked accounts, then people won´t dare to protest because 
they get locked accounts if they do. Those who does anyway brings it here 
and they get moderated. Evidence of many things has been sent to Tom but it 
goes on and on. It is like an irl or OOC tyrrany. I believe it becomes 
flaming because it upsets people too much and I really understand why they 
get upset when this is going on. Usual critisism does not seem to be enough 
to change anything concerning that matter. 

About keeping them public or unknown, both have good and bad points so it is 
hard to choose.

Espire, many might be jelous but don´t count in everyone. I can be a cynic 
too, but that is underestimating people (and I never thought that would come 
from me.)
