My two cents in the most respectful and non sarcastic way I've ever voiced an opinion here:

The problem with the lead team as it stands is that it's a group of friends. There certainly is bias and I know that most of the lead team will admit to that. The thing is, it sickens me to see that Clarky says that ParaMontana was the only suitable candidate for SA. I don't say that because I'm not a big fan of ParaMontana, I say that because these guys have been here for months working their ass off. You might think ParaMontana is the best option simply because he has been SA before, but that's not how something like that can work. You can't just always choose from the same people because they have experience. If you don't give anyone a chance to become experienced, how would you know that they are a suitable candidate or not? I played for 2 hours just now with uzi, CeeZee and Kitty and they seem more than capable to handle a higher rank. Now, of course I can't give a very educated opinion, but simply calling them incapable to be SA (which is basically what Clarky said) is sickening. These guys have clearly shown to be dedicated to the server, you're in need of more lead team members, why give a person who came in for just a week a chance over the ones who have been trying so hard to get promoted for months? I don't get this entire thought process. It happened with people in the past, hell, Blocked even admits to it now. Why is this way of promoting not gone yet? Why has this not yet been improved? You can't just go give SA to every next SSRP lead team that comes stumbling across the server. Look at what you've had for months, give them a chance, then judge if they were suitable or not.
