Having a bad memory makes sense, but it's also not a trait of someone you want in command.<br/><br/>I know you like Perkins OOC, but he's making himself intolerable to all the characters IC through his attitude and his mistakes. If you want us to like him, humanize him, cut out his ego, have him own up to screwing up. Just telling us 'hes a cool dude, trust me' OOC doesn't work. You said he was the CO, but all we see IC is an asshole who screws up and blames us for it, with Walter's lips firmly glued to the seat of his pants, which makes us dislike him OOC as well.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>thank you Glyphstone, that is the impression I have gotten from reading the entire thread. Perkins goes off and does evaluations of the mission and he isnt the commander, he decides who gets docked , not the unit commander. My impression was that perkins ran things and it has been noted that perkins has been doing this for sometime since it seems the veterans are used to him doing evaluations and deciding who gets paid what. That makes him the CO, from my view point!...you want a unit that trusts their leaders...decide who that is and then go from there!!<br/><br/>Phaia
