Eolas: it's perfect to see you around. Good thing you're not mad about 'the fit.' I'd rephrase your account of the happenings, though: father seems too heavy for a handsome youth such as me.
We have plenty of books backed up OOC, at the Scholar's forums. About the website, I was thinking of using it exactly for that purpose and to keep some descriptions about the Empire. (Still need Parallo's/Roberet's confirmation though). I'll try to see if I can edit the site, if not I'll certainly contact Xordan for help. Wouldn't be the first time.
I've been thinking long about the Empire's leadership and all that. I'm not the best person to lead the Empire, basically because I take leadership too seriously and sometimes forfeit roleplay and fun for the sake of structural perfection.
So I believe it's better for me to be a sort of creativity advisor (conjure plots, criticize) and system manager (take care of site, Promotional Thread, etc.) since I've been around whenever an Imperial has asked me to help with those types of things. The reason why I'm around is because Parallo summoned me.
The OOC aspect of DE was its downfall, at least as far as I'm concerned. There was a resistance to change and a lack of dependence on IC situations that disrupted the organization. And that was mostly my fault: Rinenud politely pointed that out to me.
So most of us agreed that the DE doesn't need forums any more, or a bossy Sangwa.
Leadership will depend on IC situations. Currently Parallo and Roberet have Morwen Greenmoon (current heir) under their control and as such they rule over the Empire. I've tried to lie still and just let things happen, but I currently have the time to influence how fast and good the Empire grows and so I've been working towards the quickest, most fun route (since I'm also playing).
