Right now they're not. They haven't been for a long time.

You can certainly fire a GM for that, but I wouldn't considering I thought in a similar fashion.

Like I said, if I'm recalling correctly there was plenty of talk on this very board and in the media of the need for changes going back over the 2 year period. So people did notice something was off.

I think Treliving has had plenty of time to see what has been unfolding in front of him and react accordingly.
