So, can we revisit the 5 second roll and make it 10 or 15? Or does Kelz own the roll at this point?

You do know that it wasn't Kelz that wanted the 5 sec rule?

Your point?

Let's get back on track, shall we?

Can we PLEASE extend the 5 second roll thing? How much sense does it make if someone is present at window start, stays the whole window, but wins the roll at 7 seconds instead of 5?

Im sorry you were chatting today for hours non stop, and when the roll actually happened you missed it, cuz possibly typing in chat Id guess Nephinine =(

Thats the point of the 5 seconds, to cause that people who wants it needs to be alert and paying atention to the game "minimally".

And as Spanky_kc said, the 5 seconds rule was the consensus of the mass.

I wasn't typing when it popped. Looked away at wiki, looked back, hit enter.

Is the 5 second rule the "consensus of the mass" now? Somehow I highly doubt that of the 20 or 25 people present at roll, that a majority or even a strong plurality think that it should be 5 seconds and any roll after 5 seconds, even if it's at 5.1034234 seconds, should be DQd.

This is a quest which SOLELY REQUIRES warmly faction with Droga. This is not a quest the results of which directly yield a BiS item or anything near as competitive.

look buddy, this server is about competition. we need to compete to see who's the best at rolling within 5 seconds of spawn. if you can't handle the heat stay out of the kitchen! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

God, I hope that was meant with irony.


Edit, saw your smiley, of course it was...

It was not. There were one or two people who were super concerned that someone could play EQ at work, setup a GINA trigger, and then switch back in time to roll when the goblin spawned. The idea that someone could do this greatly offended those (again, one or two) people, so they insisted on a short roll period (which started at 10 seconds, not 5) to prevent this horrible scenario from occurring. And those same people also threatened to use this horrible scenario of a guy at work as the boogeyman to justify why they shouldn't have to roll in the first place.

Everyone else was pretty much like "that is fucking stupid, but if it's what we all have to agree to to make rolls happen instead of clicks then sure, a short roll it is." So it was a rule, produced by the masses, using a consensus system, but the whole point of consensus systems is that they force the majority to adopt things to make the minorities happy. It was not true that a consensus of Shady rollers actually wanted short rolls.

Is this somewhat similar to the fear that brown people will come into the USA and steal your jobs?
