Ok, I want to ask a totally serious and not-flame-intending question here: why is the SBR so "shadowy-figure" all the time? I understand having the board private; it would overly complicate things if everyone could watch all of your discussions, and you probably couldn't be as frank with yourselves and each other with the entire community over your shoulder. And I understand why you'd, for instance, withhold the internal poll results until afterward (because it'd pollute the public poll results and such).
But we can't even know the makeup of the people that (supposedly) lay down our "recommended" policy? There are roughly 100 people in the SBR (last time I heard in the MK poll), so let's just say 100 to make things neat. Each character has one representative, at minimum. There are 35 characters in the game. Our worst case scenario has the SBR consisting of 66 MK mains! (I know that less people main lower tiers and more people main higher tiers, but you get the point) I think people should be able to know the exact ratio of character mains; how much does that really hurt you? How does our knowing who makes up our (operative) governmental body detract from your ability to make decisions?
I just want to know out of curiosity. Like I said, not trying to flame or anything, I just want to understand the logic.
Even if I told you everyone in the SBR (which you could find out yourself) you still wouldn't know which of them even voted on the poll. And then you would want to know which ones voted and then you would want to know which ones voted for which side...
Sorry not happening.
If you want to know what we were talking about I suggest reading the arguments we put together in the public poll. If you are worried that the SBR has 66 MK mains in it(we actually have 118 MK mains), well...then too bad .
Edit: Because people might actually think I'm serious, I was joking about the 118 MK mains.
