So you may not know it, but I hate writing walls of text, lots of edits and changes and whatever and I still usually fail to get my point across, but I'm retired now so I'm going to keep this short.

When I decided to stop running 3.0 it was with the intention of trying to salvage it from my own mismanagement, what I mean by that is I was not able to be active enough to get things done and push configuration changes though, we should have had most of the quality of life changes you saw eventually in much sooner and that was the plan, we knew the original configs where insane, but the plan was to rapidly iterate, but I didn't have the dedication to give up sleep and time to push those though myself no matter what it took. So the updates where slow and this caused 3.0's issues to drag out into a mess.

Although perhaps solvable with several more months of effort I realized I wasn't dedicated enough to continue to run Civcraft up to my standards and decided to step down, when I said that it turns out most of the rest of the admin team was only hanging around because I was running stuff and well you've seen where it went from there.

But the community response was strongly in favor of some sort of continuation so I decided to try and recruit a new admin, I really only had a couple of qualifications, they would have to setup a Civcraft server for testing and so that I could teach them, and they needed to agree in general with Civcraft's direction. Note that the latter is only a qualification for succeeding me, I'm willing to help anyone trying to setup a Civ server, I said that in my original post and that has not at all changed.

Anyways we got a channel with a few people in it, of them jaycc was the one with a testing server and any intention of trying to tweak 3.0 instead of abandoning all of its ideas, so brainstorming was done, no secrets or other information was really exchanged but map ideas and such were thrown around.

At this point I'm pretty sure jaycc isn't interested in the restrictions that come with inheriting the Civcraft name and subreddit (which mostly involve things like the modmail history which includes too much private info to give anyone new access to and can't be deleted from the subreddit) but we still need to do some final discussion on that, so another admin goes and starts shuffling people out of the channel so that we can discuss that subject and I think greenable viewed this as us kicking them out, since jaycc had apparently expressed no intention to add them as an administrator. I'll note they where not removed from the slack at that time, just one channel.

Whatever, so channel contents where intentionally leaked and people from a competing Civ-reboot attempt that hasn't been talking to me so much except though greenable, ended up watching jacc's teams development stream and jaycc ended up making fun of them for leaking stuff and the channel got reported for harassment.

Stupid drama I couldn't care less about really, except insomuch as it reflects upon the quality of my candidates, which is disappointing, but not unexpected.

During all of this the admins who actually do stuff on the subreddit where removing posts about other civ-reboot attempts that where taking the leaked info and using it for negative means, which just isn't cool, talking about your server creation is fine, but once again spending half you're post shitting on 3.0 isn't cool either. There's a long tangent about how I feel about criticism that goes here but didn't make it into the final post.

Anyways long story short, no one has anything sensitive and at this point no one is going to get anything sensitive, the most sensitive thing jaycc has is a neato little script that copies jarfiles and sets up configs, which doesn't really work for non-sharding and is so horribly documented that I need to either write a novel or be talking to the person using it, it contains only one config file that's not public, hidden ore, not that it matters now since there will be no direct successor that can all be cleaned up and posted publicly anyways.

Regardless very long story short, none of the admins want any part of this drama, I'm kinda sad it turned out this way but not surprised, my offer to help everyone is still open and I'm kinda excited to see what people come up with as Civcraft successors, but clearly trying to get involved with any specific attempt to pass things down is not worth my time.
