I think kittens doesn't understand what "contest" means. Contesting something means going for a target and competing against guilds who are also contesting it. No offense, but you contest nothing. Even on a quake, if another guild shows up you pack it up and move to something that no one else is competing on. You guys are not competitive at all, and yes, that means you never "contest" tov. You are merely vultures who show up for a free meal, but at the first sign of an opponent you turn tail and leave.

Does that help?

You go to ToV on quakes, sure, but as soon as its no longer uncontested (AKA Aary, Fesh and Dagarn are dead) you leave or go to West ToV. Not trying to slight you here but all these you continue to point out all these times youve contested stuff in ToV but its not adding up to what I see every week.
I thought we agreed that you are not required to be there to meet the definition of contested? Kriezenn was definitely contested, as were the other examples I am pointing out. Are we opportunistic in the way we choose targets? Yes. It's the way we play the game. The rules are for everyone and meant to be there to set a fair playing field. Excluding us from input on them was and still remains unfair because we are still bound by them.

Please don't mistake my pointing out examples of times we have gone head to head over dragons in ToV as being upset because I'm not. I don't require anyone's approval for how we choose to play the game. It's disingenuous to say that we don't compete when we do and it was unfair to not accept our input because it's as valid of a playstyle as trying to contest every dragon on every cycle.

Yeah Kittens, be more competitive so you too can enter the Freedom/AG/Riot petition mudslinging and get banned for weeks at a time.

I think what we have here is the naughty kids are mad at being put in timeout and a little jealous that other guilds didn't go down this road that must be annoying for the staff to say the least.

Just a thought [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The decision to exclude us from those conversations was made by the GM's but it was also a perspective heavily pushed by you and your officers in the UN in the lead up to that decision and thus you bear some responsibility denying us a voice in rule changes that do in fact effect us.

“The GMs did something we disagree with and it’s all your fault!”


Forsooth! Methinks thine own heart shall terry and, being torn asunder by the inequities and dark horrors of this unfathomable life, may inevitably expire admits the drowning torrent of thine own tears. Perish the thought dear Brother! For I stand most assured that, whereby you firmly grasp hold of this most precious of opportunities, that thee would find thyself instead sitting calmly at that great and mysterious pool, that which sits eternally in a dear quiet place, that seat of self reflection. Whereby yee shall high thee hence towards a renewed vigor, betwixt the vagaries of this cruel vain life, having been emboldened by those great ancestors that resideth in thine conscious, and thusly are saved from the abyss of antiquity, summoned once again as a bulwark of inspiration to trudge on. Once more into the breech! What say thee?

Lets say there is an office with 4 employees and a break room. Roger, Fred, and Al work in the office every day, where as Kevin is remote employee who only comes in for meetings once a month. Having run into a number of issues that caused office drama; Roger, Fred, and Al came up with some rules associated with the break room (e.g. clean the microwave after using it, don't use other people's coffee cup, etc). One day Kevin comes in and sees the rules that the others came up with and gets indignant about not being included in said discussion, despite the fact that Kevin almost never uses the break room.

Who is the asshole here?

If you want to more specifics on the rules or an explanation of why they exist, ask. Posting passive aggressive messages in the UN is a bitch move.

The asshole in your story is the employer who refuses to make Kevin an employee, and forces him to continue to work as an independent contractor, instead.

But none of us is employees of p99, so it's a shit analogy.
