Given P1999's history I think it's safe to say that forum wars and metagaming can be included as part of what constitutes competition.

LOL oh yeah... forgot that maneuvering your competition into eating a raid suspension or altogether self-destructing via subversion is part of the hardcore competitive meta game since it leads to more pixels to be sold for RMT and pay people's rents.

The real funny thing here is that TMO is crying about IB dodging a suspension when TMO just got off a VP suspension from Monday to Friday (for the unimmersed, mobs spawn on Sat/Sun).

You guys sure you wanna hound Sirken about this?

The core issue is that the server still does not have a set of established rules and procedures for handling raid disputes. What does get written down is ignored or overturned, and what is overturned is immediately used again as precedent. It's disorganized, and there's no reason it has to be that way.

Much of the raid scene's governance is completely ad hoc despite numerous individuals drafting and submitting model codes both privately and publicly, solicited and unsolicited.

I would like to introduce the Diety Plan. As your digital ruler I own 1 out of every 10 loot drops on the server.

See, now that's some serious outside the box thinking! Instead of raid suspensions let's compel the offending guild leadership (officers too!) to have sex with animals for the entertainment of the masses! We might have to invert this for certain guild leaders, temp banning them from bestiality as punishment, but details like that can be worked out.

Please do not give Argh any more ideas for animated GIFs.

Is there any reason WHY it is this way? GMs/Rogean enjoy being involved more?

It's sad when you have to bookmark specific posts in order to show people the rules.

There aren't any set rules. The last three GM rulings have all been overturned in one way or another. Something that's kosher one week could land you a forfeited mob the next. It gets annoying.

If your guild really gave a 1/4th of a shit about establishing raid rules and disputes as you pretend to, in a professional manner, your guild leader and officers would get with the leaders of Rampage and handle things like adults. Instead they (your guild leader and officers) spend most their efforts with smear campaigns and making shit up to try and look like the victors on the boards. Get out of here with that crap.
