So, this thing, at best, based on his words, was actually running without a leader for a long time, what seems to match what Xilandro was butthurt about working on a project without a leader.
The new tidbits is that Maybenexttime was the previous lead on this mess and Tgspy was a Q&A guy that got promoted when he quit and didnt want the job, so based on his words, maybe he is lying, wouldnt be the first time, he kept doing what he did, Q&A and dealt with finding people to work on the mod but didnt care at all of trying to make the other modders walk in line and revise their content, could be him pushing responsability away though because Mantis claims he is super touchy with criticism and maybe he really did had power to intervene but was so biased on their echo chamber that he couldnt see it and now is on damage control.
