None of them were the right combination of
a.) able to play/understand the game well
+
b.) willing to put in the time to really make something neat or useful
They were always amiss somewhere. Over the past year:
- Mori had almost no will to play period.
- Gura was sometimes willing to try to make stuff but seems unable to comprehend the game enough to do it, for example right off the bad she wanted to make a trap tower to do an anvil kill and tried for like a day, but just gave up. It never happened. Neither did Atlantis etc. She herself gets annoyed with how crappy her builds are, that they aren't what she wanted/imagined, and tears things down to try again/renovate.
- Kiara isn't a huge player but has some bare minimum effort to be somewhat JP-like in at least learning some fundamentals of the game. Not a very creative builder either. Sorta like Gura she had some aspirations for progress but not the means to actually realize it.
- Ina probably is easily the most technically competent, she is capable of putting in time to learn and do things from her MMO days. However she was always afraid to overshadow her genmates. Kept fucking tons of diamonds and tools just sitting in chests, never built any huge impressive structures etc. Literally stepped out of the way to try to not cause buttrage hurt feelings and thus held back the whole server.
- Ame sometimes had both the will and the means to do things but also her passion quickly evaporated, she just doesn't have the patience for things. Sorta like "if Gura was more competent at the game" she has had some cool ideas like the sky temple but just didn't bring them to fruition. Her botching a trap tower and gimping the server kind of encapsulates what's both right and wrong with her - right that SOMEONE built it at least (although I think Ina would have gotten around to it and done a better one if nobody did), wrong in that she half assed it and just bitched at chat instead of try better.
