"Hi officer. I realize i was driving 20 miles over the speed limit on the freeway.. BUT there are 50 other cars here doing the same thing. I was at the end of the line and happened to be the one you caught. ...you can't give me a ticket for doing what EVERYONE ELSE DOES."

Try that one the next time you are pulled over for speeding.
Actually, if you're speeding at the end of he line you most likely WON'T get a ticket because you're keeping up with the flow of traffic, and anyone but the first person in a line of cars speeding being pulled over could be argued as profiling, so it just doesn't happen. Poor GMing isn't an excuse for nonsensical analogies.

Poor analogy:

If the speed limit has not been defined, where is the legitimacy of giving someone a ticket for speeding? Seeing as this tactic has been used for a very very long time by every raiding guild on the server, it really should be stated first that this is now a suspendable offense so it is known isntead of using a scapegoat to make it known.

Anyway - hope you feel better soon Amelinda. People just get scared when something everyone thought was allowed is suddenly an offense; makes them wonder what they really can/cant do in any instance.

It is a perfectly valid analogy. closing this thread as well. There is no need to discuss it further. It's against the rules. period. Does anyone still need a cry towel of GM favoritism?

A: As always your tears and crying of favoritism are important to us; for without you we couldn't possibly run things around there. You are the wind beneath my wings. Please direct your tears to the Petition/Exploit Forum or in extreme cases of hissy fits or conspiracy theories, Nilbog's Inbox.
