What a dog act. Also your screenshots don't show anything other than your own delusions.

Next I'd like to talk to a taken leader about the other issues i've had with those wearing the tag in the past I have there names and will not discuss it here.

Hidden in the wall but good old Taken, stuck with that rep... officers need to sort out some of their members, or screen better in the app process.

What if thats the type of members they want?

[Swish]

Maybe it is, but they like to advertise with the usual rhetoric...

We have a friendly, social environment of mature players creating an 'in-game family' atmosphere.

We are currently seeking like-minded ambitious individuals who are drama-free, motivated and mostly looking to have a good-time whilst experiencing high-end content.

As I said, they need to screen better if that ad means anything to them more than just words on a recruitment page.

Let's not revise history. Cloki was taking a RL afk, then came back and splintered off his own guild to get the most out of the rotation.

Or maybe he didn't like your guild?

Lets talk about history.

I liked the part where BDA threw Divinity under the bus by announcing "Divinity said they're no longer respecting the rotation", when actually it was BDA/Taken/Divinity in cahoots...or even that Divinity was a necessary 3rd guild to make the rotation collapse look more credible.

Divinity and Taken wanted tighter controls on the rotation from day one. BDA played mediator and we ended up with the first iteration that had blackouts. That first version ended up being modified because the small guilds would perpetually just wait at the top of the rotation list and only pick off the prime time window targets which forced BDA, Taken, and Divinity to get all their kills in crappy time slots.

The second version removed blackouts but added a freebie for when something spawned at a bad hour you could use your freebie and remain on top for the next kill, and if you couldn't get the next one you rotated down. The loophole in this system was that guilds would pick and choose targets to ally on (VS is easy, the list was 10 guilds deep - Gore was hard, it was 4 guilds deep) and only the guild at the top would rotate. This meant the guilds teaming up but staying separate on the lists were essentially double dipping as long as they minded their lockouts.

The third version that was proposed by BDA, backed by Taken and Divinity, and had the blessing of the staff, had caveats that required guilds to ally for all targets in a tier to prevent double dipping, and had stricter time frames in which you'd need to handle your business (dropped to 1 hour from 2). The initial gatekeeper targets for each tier were deemed unfair by Sirken and were eventually modified to be easier, but it didn't matter because every other guild rejected the proposal thus ending the rotation.

None of this is spin, it's all still archived on the Class R boards, but feel free to create your own scenarios where BDA or Taken or Divinity are the bad guys.

In no way did Taken or BDA want more pixels guys, it's everyone else being "greedy" and refusing to see sense.

The rotation collapse was premeditated by those proposals you guys put together. You wanted guilds to refuse because the end game was always having freedom to zerg down any dragon in a window... and the lockouts following the rotation collapse meant BDA and Taken rarely had to face off against each other.

Boy that worked out well for you guys didn't it? I don't think I could have written a set of rules better designed for 2 guilds to maximize their pixel haul.

Stay casual <3

Except if it were about pixels we could have just never proposed a rotation in the first place and beat the brakes off the smaller guilds and maintained a 3 guild rotation. BDA lived through the drama that was TMO stomping everyone so we understood what it was like, we wanted a better way. BDA proved there was a better way when TMO had to take a two week vacation, so much greed. The rotation continually evolved to the point where it couldn't, but it's BDA and Taken's fault guys.
