You're assuming there was someone in charge. The project consisted of a website open to all comers, and almost everyone who signed up consisted of underage b& holding up scrawled pieces of nonsense and asking "am I important now?" It was no mystery as to why we never got anything done.
In the vacuum, we occasionally had to suffer the crimes against animation inflicted by an egotistical amateur, and every one of his appearances riled the team into a momentary spell of activity before it all died away again. This individual made the occasional visit to tease us as to our lack of activity, and frankly he had every right to, because as awful as his produce was, at least he made stuff.
After he was booted off, I made a fairly strongly-worded point that we needed to get organised into a more stringent chain of command. They rather missed the point though, since they then attempted to put me in charge in spite of having no animation experience or talent in the slightest. Having absconded my responsibility, everyone else seemed to do to the same. A few of us realised the problem but none of us had the courage or tenacity to actually step up to the plate and command. Cyberen was the most dedicated, but even he was pushing against the tide.
