A Sticky Situation.....

[cooker52]

Everyone deserves a second chance, a true second chance to erase all feelings from the past and start anew. To become a better person, and the only way you can do that is by learning from the past.

What those people did to that person made immature choices and showed a bad example. Now that they have left your original team, keep it going, make it off the lessons you have learned here, that everyone deserves a second chance to make up and adjust his wrongs. become the leader and lead this team to become better. You know how most everything is done, how it works, and how to recruit. You can try something new, but whatever you do, teach this new team the lessons that you have learned. And play this out. Who knows, maybe these new teams and the original one could become the most succesful teams in the country because of your team work and the collaborations of many diverse ideas. If team work with the new teams doesn't work out, contact other neighboring teams. If you are in Indiana, contact any team in the state, I know that most will help you and teach you new ideas and designs.

The way it sounds, is that you may be one of the new leaders of your team. Make the best of these new changes. If you need help, any neighboring team for help. Don't give up on the teams that split off from the original team. Make them your friends and don't look at them as if they made a dumb choice. It was their decision to break off, it's yours not to give up.

Good luck with your new team,
Seth Cook
