I still don't understand why Cylock did this. Like, he must have had a reason, but I just don't understand how the variance helps anything.

I believe the stated reason was to discourage/eliminate having an army log in on the spawn 30 seconds prior to pop and having a click fiesta.

there has been an army every day that weve had to fight tooth and nail who cited the fact that variance SHOULD make it a click fiesta, so that reasoning effectively had the opposite effect if that was the reasoning.

Mob has (unclassic) variance, so the pop time is unknown

Even if it has variance, you can schedule a roll for when he gets into window. Everyone who is less than the roll can get the heck out.

People didnt agree to it therefore no player agreement. The current agreement is the only working consensus among the 20 or so who come to shady so far.

Right. I'm not sure even a majority are happy with the roll on spawn we've done the past couple of days.

I've been trying to get some sort of staff feedback as far as how they view the 'agreement'. Cylock quoting Diamondfist can be interpreted to say something on it, but its far from clear.

Right now there's a line in the sand that no one has crossed yet to see if something will happen. We'll see...

Can we at least go back to 10 or 15 seconds? The 5 second thing just doesn't sit well with me.

[Senescant]

Why? 5 seconds was a compromise with people that wanted to click to avoid AFKers

[LazyHydras]

If they are ok with a timer at all, why must it be 5 seconds? Why is 10 so objectionable?

I say roll at the start of the window. Winner can stay and wait for it, then reports when it popped, losers can go do something else.

Makes the most sense to me, tbh.
