My personal belief is that the concept as well as the organizationw as far too involved for this game. It required far too much from people in order to make it work--nearly as much work as it would require to actually lead a business. When you consider that actually running a business is a full-time effort, I can understand why somebody would not be able to keep up with all that is required in a game.
I personally was not interested in the whole TBC simply because of that--it looked like Management and Business Org 101. There was a lot of "stuff" going on to establish a "company" but no product. At least no product worth the effort required that I could see.

I agree 150%!
I believe that in order for the Court to continue, it needs to be simplified. There was no real need for all of that set up - meetings, HUGE rule threads - BLAH!
The purpose, for the TBC was, to establish a way in which guilds from all over the Caribbean would be able to come together and, basically, have fun! We don't need to hold meetings discussing what guilds need to be added, or what rules need to be enforced. We just need to set up a more simple, more managed way to run things. I have a few ideas, I hope you don't mind me just throwing them out there:
- Make the Court events open to everybody. After all, we're all pirates, and all pirates are entitled to a good time! Just let anybody who wants to come come, don't restrict it to guilds that are well-known, and/or here on POF. If somebody decides to "ruin" the fun, well, thats bad judgement on their part. After all, they're doing it in front of the entire Caribbean - what kind of savvy pirate would do that? Just let guilds come and go, and let everybody enjoy themselves
- Theres no need for huge, organized meetings. The only thing that needs to be discussed is events, and when they are to take place. A single suggestion thread would work just fine!
- Don't make the leader (Skirata, as well as the new leader) have to dedicate their whole pirate being to the Court. Its a game, we should treat it as one. Lets just take it nice and slow. That way even the organizers can have a little fun 8)
Also, keep in mind, a huge, organized subforum isn't necessary. No, I'm not saying get rid of it, as it is a great addition to the Court. But you could just have it as a discussion board. There could be a few stickied topics, and then the rest could be for, well, anything! Discussing Court events, screenshots, etc. etc, all that sort.
