It wouldn't be a bad idea to require every admiral and maybe even the fleet captains to take off a couple weeks every so often...maybe every 6 months. That would afford everybody in a leadership role some personal time to truly enjoy the game, community, and personal time without being subjected to the restrictions or burdens of 'command'. It's a great way to rejuvenate and come back energized, ready to tackle the challenges that burnt you out before but now are again new. Especially you, Nick, since like you said you've been heavily involved in the community for so long. I think all the Admirals should kick you out of the chair for at least one week a year so you can have 'you' time. Stonewall needs a chief medical officer to certify you as officially nuts during this period each year, or maybe the Admirals put it to a vote. LOL. Yeah, I've overthought this...like I do most things. :-)
Enjoy your time off.
