Aftermath eating a full 10 days raid suspension

[Goliathan]

Word of the Law vs Spirit of the Law.

Imo it seems insane that any guild would retain rights to a target they have actively left in the zone with no force present. Would one not presume it means they had given up their attempt to go attempt something else?

Seems pretty...simple.

Seems simple until Siren comes in and rules thay FTE is king and other guilds need to gtfo.

*Sirken. Stupid phone

I like Siren better. Its loud, whiny, and when driving down the road gets what it wants. It seems to fit that sentence just fine, Relb.

[falkun]

And if you are talking the mythical creature, it lures men out into the ocean to die promising a better future, which still fits. You picked well.

I know absolutely nothing about the raid politics interaction with GMs. I don't know the details beyond what I've read here. I raided in pop and luclin. Was never really interested prior.

Whatever the reason was for Sirken making the call id guess it made sense at the time because that was the word of the law. There was no clause. It would have been a "moral" decision for lack of a better word to tell them no you forfeit due to the fact you're killing other targets in other zones with none on KT.

It would make sense for this rule to be amended to not allow this situation. The raid meeting happened and in less than 48 hours we have loopholing. Which is good because it exposes the exploitable flaws but to defend the loophole is lol.

I'm sure Sirken knows what he's doing and hindsight is 20/20

Sirken doesn't have a clue. The loophole was pointed out by the same guild that exploited it last night a full week ago, yet it was not handled until it became an issue.

How long are we assuming the winning guild has to engage statue or kt? Is it unlimited?

Why do we have to utilize hindsight when forethought caught this?

All these comments about the "spirit of the rule" are truly adorable. Please continue not realizing that spirit of the rule doesn't matter on this server and never will. You either followed the rule as it's written or you didn't. Aftermath did, tears ensue.

@Euth: Then why do the GM's keep proselytizing the "spirit of the rule"?

The most important thing here is the statement about the spirit of this rule stated above.

Note on Rule Lawyering – I think the spirit of everything we are trying to accomplish here is pretty clear, and anyone that tries to twist the words to support and/or justify nefarious actions that go against the spirit of the rules posted here will not be rewarded.

3) you can try to rule lawyer, but ill enforce the spirit of the rule regardless of how you try to twist/lawyer the words.

Here's a fantastic one specifically regarding stalling:

and when people submit frivolous petitions based on rule lawyering or split hairs, im not even going to deal with them unless i feel the spirit of the rule was broken, and that a guild actually engaged to prevent another guild from engaging.

And another that's in line with using Skype/Twitch to allow everyone to track:

Doing this, figuratively takes a big old dump on the entire purpose for the Staff telling the players we don’t want them poopsocking the raid spawn locations. We also do not want KoS trackers to be able to get afk FTE’s, as we feel this is more in line with using autofire, than it is in the spirit of the rules set forth, rules that, I will remind you, were all agreed on by the players.

Sirken wants the spirit of the rule enforced, then he actually asserts Aftermath's claim on KT and Statue while Aftermath had ZERO characters in zone? Sirken's going GreenGrocer on this server, but he still has power.

Your neckbeard must be majestic. Or maybe you just wish it was and cannot grow past the neck peach fuzz stage. Who knows! However attitudes like you're are why threads like this occur.
