History Revised: Enraptured

[YendorLootmonkey]

Wouldn't it just be easier to beat Rampage at getting raid mobs than trying to rules-lawyer them into a raid suspension after a GM already made the final call?

For a guild that espouses the desire for competition to the point of goading Class R guilds into Class C for "extra competition", wouldn't you welcome the additional competitor instead of seeing them suspended for a week or two or whatever? Especially one that would give you a run for your money like Rampage, compared to Class R guilds that aren't willing to compete at your level so you could pretty much roll all over them and bathe in their delicious casual tears?

Funny how the concept of "competition" gets distorted so easily here depending on who's getting rustled and whose bathing in the tears. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Competition means something only if there are a set of rules that each side plays by. If one side doesnt play by those rules, or breaks those rules and is not punished, it is no longer competition in the sense that you are talking about. If TMO or Rampage has a legitimate case that concerns the rules of competition being broken, saying 'why dont you just compete because you like competition so much' is about as legitimate a solution as telling Unbrella to have sex with a goat.

I am very happy that you are still taking up arms to argue with your sworn enemies of the server whenever possible though, Yendor <3.

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.

IB actually tried to do this and almost got away with it ? Wow.

I don't think this is more to get them suspended Yendor. It looks like both guilds do that to each other already. It looks like IB basically changed their tag to get around their history of offenses. No disrespect meant for A-team. They just look like a pawn IB used to clear their history of offenses here and a GM almost bought it.

Um, most of the arguments being made are that IB re-formed to (or with the convenient ability to) skirt around pending suspensions against them. So I assumed the implication of this thread was that Rampage should eat those suspensions.
