That seems to alludes that officers prefer to keep their tools to themselves or they don't design them to be easily shared in the first place, which I don't think is the best practice for Agora overall. Maybe we can encourage officers to make/use public tools and tutorials that anyone can contribu

Perhaps a "bench" system like in team sports, where there is a main officer, but if they can't do their roles, or want to take a vacation, the person on the bench takes the spot until they come back. The bench positions are elected or otherwise offered to everyone equally somehow. On Mon, May 1,

It's actually the opposite: right now we HAVE dynasties of players who just have had these roles forever, and they've never taken a break. Encouraging them to take a break, and specifying a different player, forces more change-ups than we have currently, because we trust so much currently in the in
