Skin In The Game

[Grumph]

It's a concept both ancient..

"Hamurabi's code states: if a building collapses, its architect should be burried with it"

And Modern...

"If you get food poisoning from sashimi, the hibachi must commits sepuku"

Now that the UN is open for all to see, its time to point out one of the simplest and straight forward recommendations there is:

(and I only say the following with the deepest sadness and respect towards my close friends in Kittens, DB, TSS, and so many other guilds)

Negotiations on an agreement to end The Ban
Should be conducted by the guilds that are banned.


Its simple really. And I'm sure everyone can agree. Of course if other guild want a say? Simply volunteer for a self-imposed ban, equal to what everyone else who has skin in the game is currently sitting under.

The Mujahideen know what's up: they commit to loosing their lives for victory.

The Spartans had a saying "Come home carrying your shield, or on it"

And when certain factions decided to stop The Aposlte Paul, despite acting against God's will, they at least understood their need for skin in the game:
“We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul"

Now I know what you're thinking. I can already hear it.

"Grumph Grumph Grumph, you don't understand!"

"We don't need skin in the game here because this is an Intervention!"

"You people received a Ban because you're unwell. And we are trying to help you get the help you need!"



I know. I said there's no counter argument for Skin In The Game.

But this actually makes sense. If you see these talks not as a negotiation, but an intervention, fair enough!

There's just one hole in the intervention argument: you need to follow through to its conclusion.



Rogean and Nilbog have said they favor competition. And do not approve of rotations.

If you think you have standing to host an intervention against Freedom, AG, and Riot - then you must go one step further and circle your wagons around Rogean and Nilbog as well.

Otherwise. Again. You have zero credibility. Because you have no Skin In The Game.
