Do we need a new item manager?

No offense meant to zangibu, but we need an active item manager to.... well manage items and add new items.

http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/%28item-suggestion%29-european-cavalry-sword/msg969248/#msg969248
European cav sword, modeled and textured. not added.

http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/crescent-moon-blade-halberd/
Crescent halberd, modeled and textured. not added.

http://forum.melee.org/suggestions-corner/highlander-armor-re-textured-for-crpg-no-skin-showing/
Highlander armors, modeled and textured. not added.

Panos has many suggestions, some good, some bad, i wont bother to list them all. There are MANY more suggestions, people who have worked their butt off creating all new material for nothing, simply because the item manager is awol.

This is not a hate thread or a complaint about zangibu in any way, rather, i'd like to see about getting an item manager who can be active and actually do something if needed; there's no point having an item manager that's never on. If anyone else feels the same, vote yes, and maybe we can elect someone who is more interested in the job.

Also, if you are interested, this might be a good place to declare it so that if the devs are looking, everything will all be in one place.

I am not part of the process, but as I understand it Tydeus (and maybe san?) are still able to get models added as items. If they suggest it, a group of devs votes on whether it should be done.

Zagibu was an excellent asset to the team, it's a shame he is gone. Tydeus is able to add fully modeled items but has said that he does not have the time or experience to modify items to fit with those that are already in the game.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Currently no one has the time and energy (and the skillset) to do what Zagibu did. We still have an active balance team that does plenty of work, so we are not by any means stranded.

Isnt xynox an "item manager"?
I loot corpses of their golden teeth.
But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

i'll be there at around

Tydeus can.

It would be nice to have people like Senni T, Segd, etc, but often times the most qualified are the most busy themselves. Personally, I didn't like the extra involvement for voting on new items, since I didn't feel like I had the necessary standards and understanding. I think there should be a separate group wholly devoted to adding items and tweaking looks, with the balance team figuring out the stats, even if some people like Tydeus are in both. Zagibu had way too much workload on himself if you saw him on irc.

A thread I made a long time ago when I was still new to cRPG - it got a lot of support, hopefully it's realistic to ask that at least some of these can be included.

Give Tydeus the power to also overhaul the xp and level system, please. He has the skills, energy and right attitude, I'd trust he'd make something good out of it.

I would offer, but I'm pretty unknown to the Dev team and really busy IRL atm.
(+ I think nordinvasion would string me up ;P)
