Yeah, Cynic did a great job with the position and his performance was met with near-universal acclaim. I'm not sure what a nuclear attack, assassination attempts, or repeated rebellions are supposed to achieve aside from demonstrating how bored you are. Stories like these are dramatic but not particularly interesting or engaging for other players. They're not even related to anything that the game's players have done. It's just chaos for the sake of chaos, and most Atlasians will ignore if just as they've ignored the last half dozen stories that have no connection to anything that real people have done.
I wasn't perfect and neither was Kal, but I know his heart was in the right place, better than Nick's at least. I think Kal did as good a job as one could do and if there was anything negative about it, it was that he'd feel bored. The next GM has a bit of a mess to clean up, so I wish that person luck just as I wished Kal luck when I had to resign. It's a tough job, he did his best, and we at least owe him that.
