Over the last few months the Youtube group The Yogscast have been playing a group game of Minecraft. Simple enough, right? Meant to be a group effort in playing an open world sandbox game the group has splintered into three factions and underhanded dealings between the factions have caused havok where there should have been smooth progress.
From the begining constant leadership changes, power struggles, and general bad behavior have kept them from really getting anything done. Each week the group would elect a new "Mayor" based on what the candidate had planned for them that week. They lacked focus. Often the groups would either change their entire plan, or just ignore what the leader had to say. There was no respect for the leader because the role would be filled by whomever was bored and wanted to do something else. The role was literally devolved to a running joke, and while the drama and jokes are a good thing for views, they are bad for the teams progress.
