I think it is a fair point to say that the competition did not involve $ (that I know of, at least). This has not always been the case. Final Ascension challenges in the past actually have had seal holders requesting significant Paypal donati…(Quote)I think others have said, throughout this thread, why it diminishes the winning side... but there are a lot of posts at this point.Basically, boil it down to this.Two teams make it to the finals. Whether it be th…
(Quote) And I am not sure how to convey it. But I think your post is important, especially the bits I clipped out here.
(Quote)So you're saying that... in your mind, there was no winner. It's not fair or right that the team that did get 3600 first get anything, at all, no matter how minor?If that's the case, I'm really not…@Shango : You're way behind here, I accepted that he was being raised a while ago, right now I'm just trying to determine what Orael is even willing to accept as i…Can you please explain how you feel that the second suggestion makes Ixion any less of a TA? In this scenario, Ixion would be equivalent to both Yendor & me as a TA, but Choros would have gained a little extra perk that he shared with his …The no name change is an interesting idea, actually. That's a slight variation on one of my ideas; mine was more mechanical in nature, yours more RP.(Quote)This solution is fair, yes, but I don't think it will do anything except make both sides equally unhappy about the outcome. Fair doesn't always mean best. And, when it comes to a competition, fair is entirely subje…(Quote)
So what kind of thing could be fair -for everyone-? If, as you say, we're starting from a different base, then clearly our ideas are going to take a much different track than yours. We can think on it, but I also think that it…(Quote)
Why is stopping here the best solution? Why is acknowledging the winning side's win in any capacity unreasonable? As of this point, the winning side and the losing side are entirely equivalent. Something wa…The math is:Glomdoring/Celest/Hallifax got the TA they won with.Mag/Gaudi/Seren get +1 TA that would not exist in the game at all. A bonus, extra, additional one. Giving each side an extra bonus one is, itself, &#…(Quote)So you are explicitly stating that raising one TA cancels out the raising of another TA, and in that respect it's a zero sum game.By that logic then, raising Ixion cancels out raising Choros.Yet,…(Quote)I think it's pretty clear that this is not really felt as a fair deal. Glom/Celest/Halli got the TA they won with. If you had decided to do nothing at all, we would still have won. Mag/Gaudi/Seren are getting a bonus TA becaus…Our counter to that was intended to be Bonecrusher Groundslam.

Are you back? I'd like to see a reply to the post Maligorn referenced, if you have any thoughts to add.
Thank you for going back to my post; I appreciate the reply. Because that announce did hurt for the reasons specified, and having that recognized does help a little at least.There were other posts written while you were making…On the other hand, in recent memory I have personally avoided sphere attacks / discouraged them, simply because the disparity is so wide. It is not fair that we can raid some smobs without as much fear of consequence as they would have for att…How can this situation be fixed at this point? I am kind of at a loss. There was a rush to make and post a decision asap. The clearest possible alternative to undoing the decision would have been to raise Ciaran as well, I guess. Something …Ciaran's post is why you talk to people first.
I'll miss you, Ciaran. I wish you had waited, but I also wis…(Quote)
Any particular reason you're equating "asking for input" to "we're going to have players vote and abide by whatever the vote says"?

I think you're missing a big thing here, and I was very clear when I originally approached you that I felt that putting the decision on Ixion and Choros was a back-room situation:The win was not…So I have been pointing out that decision-making in back rooms with only a couple of parties is a terrible look, and got this reply: "Xenthos, after discussing it, we agree that the back end conversations are doing no favours and we need …(Quote)This is something I'm having trouble with. I saw the reason for the War decision; it basically describes exactly the same situation, where a game issue affected both teams and arguably changed the outcome. Emails ab…(Quote)This times 1,000.We were watching the timequakes leading up to Ascension with lots of participants and seeing the lagbeasts that spawned every. single. time that there was an engagement with horror.

It was a lot of fun to get to hang out with Filib pre-party and do all the planning. I really appreciate the random interaction where the purpose was just to enrich the gameplay for us (and I hope the admin involved had fun too!).
(Quote)As is tradition, there's always a match with a bug in War where Avechna says "Okay, we'll fix the bug, do both teams want a do-over?" The side that the bug helped says no, the other side says yes, and thus there is no do-o…What about the ones that were on the roads in dragon form?
