TL;DR:
I gave EAPs to flakey people, they flaked, now I want to shift blame to the opportunists who accepted my EAPs.

Re: Holding people accountable
I guess what I am trying to figure out is, would it be better for me to start a major theme camp and get flakey people to help me out, or would it be faster for me to simply attach myself to a pre-existing competent camp but be a flakey member? What would be easier? How do I get on the Black List?

Re: Holding people accountable
Don't set your sights so low! Instead, you can aspire to be someone like ender, and hand out EAP to people who are flakes--either on purpose, or simply out of shear incompetence.Lonesomebri wrote:I guess what I am trying to figure out is, would it be better for me to start a major theme camp and get flakey people to help me out, or would it be faster for me to simply attach myself to a pre-existing competent camp but be a flakey member?

Better to be a commander of flakes than the flake foot-soldier right?
Oh, and don't forget to be the shepherd who blames his flock! The workman who blames his tools! The camp EAP administrator who blames his campmates!

Re: Holding people accountable
I try to cover all the bases, with a maximum camp size of 2, I can be both commander and foot soldier ! This way, by the end of the week, it's me I can't stand. Haven't had the guts to Black List myself yet, that dude can be a real jerk when confronted. Blame? Everything is my fault. That's called taking credit.BBadger wrote:Better to be a commander of flakes than the flake foot-soldier right?
