I think this just fuels the stereotype that Console and PC gamers cannot get along. Nearly half the PC gamers I know either personally or online own their own consoles and play time evenly between them. Now I do agree that there are some bravado players on both sides who hold strict views on which method of gaming is superior, but the majority of the people in the world and the people in the club could care less what is “better” and what is “worse”. Many of the people on the “console side” of the club frequent the PC games in tournaments and vice-versa. Watering this down into black and white is not the correct method to solving the issue at hand.

 

I do however feel the club has fostered an environment where the two as seen butting heads rather than in cooperation. I would even go as far to say that designating a separate Console VP and PC VP was detrimental to the club spurring more resentment and segregation between the two. The separation you are calling for has been tried with the split of the two jobs, and making them two separate entities will not and did not solve the issue. Instead of collaboration, you will get competing between the two clubs making a detrimental dilemma for the people just going to LANs, the regular members, and the commuters and alumni.

 

Instead of this separationist idea, perhaps a joining of halves creating a unified club, with shared roles and a strict leadership hierarchy. As the club stands now, with the constitution being rewritten and people being ousted, there is a barrier created between the halves that has been there since 2008. I honestly think that with a new constitution, the reinstatement of some of the executives and a general meeting to discuss the future of the club is needed for any resolution to start. I say we remove the Positions of Console VP and PC VP and revert back to the all encompassing VP position. There are people in the club, new and old, who still do not see the reason for the competition between the two groups and the leadership should represent this unbiased view. The leaders cannot be considered from the “console side” of the club no more should they identify with the “PC side” of the club. There should be no sides in this.

 

There is no superiority between the gaming mediums and any ideas showing that should not be represented in the club.
