If this thread wasn't so sad, it would be pretty hilarious at this point.

Straiker was screaming in /ooc like a lunatic betting anyone he could find that he'd delete himself if Trump lost. Welp, he lost his bet and refused to acknowledge it, much less make good on it. Lessons here: Don't make bets you cant cover, and take responsibility for your actions.

Yes, I encouraged certain individuals to act like they had parents who taught them about taking responsibility for their actions. Seems like a reoccurring theme here. Now Vanq/Klaz is determined to avoid responsibility despite basically admitting culpability:



Q3 requires guilds that "violated a rule" to "concede the mob you screwed up on."

Doesn't get more clear than that. There's no exceptions built into that rule. You all can still do the right thing. I'd give you credit for it, and hopefully have cleaner competition and less acrimony in the future.

All of this RNF, including Vanquish's constant posting and posturing, is an attempt to control the narrative and exert power over the server. Its playing politics - something I freely admit to doing, since that is one of the games being played. And what has our politicking achieved? It helped structure a draft 4x a year that spreads the wealth out a little. The draft was born out out of the ongoing toxicity of the raid scene and was only opposed by Vanquish (Ag/F). My view is that power that benefits the many is generally more just than power that benefits the few.

We have a choice about how to use our power. We can try to benefit the server, or we can try to benefit ourselves. You all have a choice to use your power to encourage adherence to the server rules, which are designed to ensure fairness. If you're a big fan of competition, then you should also be a big fan of fairness - because without fairness, the competition is worthless. When you cheat, your wins become worthless and the game becomes trivial - aka - less fun for all.
