Omnileech
I find it funny how all the mods allegedly made their decision in under 20 minutes. So what, were they all online or did you just ask one or two people, Alarias and go with the decision you made yourself?
Who exactly did you talk to and what did they say? When?
How can you possibly make a decision as big as guild policy without consulting even most of the staff? Looks like you made the decision largely on your own covering your decision to make the thread where you did.
Largely your arguments have been red herrings too.
"It's for entertainment so don't get upset!"
"This is trivial!"
"It's always been this way!"
"It's an exception! (Though largely only the staff are able to get exceptions for any of their rules)"
"If you don't like how we do things, don't complain or try to change then, just leave!"
And my other opponents made equally poor arguments.
"You must have a vendetta!"
"Omni's having a tantrum!"
"Contests are not games!"
"Gaia has event games!"
Which are in their own forum specifically designed for them and not in any of the main forums.
"Well if you're going to complain about where we put the games/contests then we shouldn't hold any at all!"
Give me a break. I'm asking for universal following of the rules no matter who makes them. Being a guild contest does not make it any different from any other contest. It's still a game to played for a prize.
I agree wholeheartedly with Saverio.
You are right, I did not talk to all of the mods.
I talked to a couple of mods.
I felt that our opinions backed with the fact that this is the way we've always run the guild events was more than enough to give you an answer.
Later, there were even more mods that agreed with me on it.
I would have waited longer for all the mods or most of them to voice their opinion but, I have other obligations right now especially and I felt a prompt response was best.
Again, I think you are making this bigger and messier than it has to be.
Yes, it was guild policy, but one already in place. I don't see any reason to wait hours for the confirmation of all mods to tell a member that that's where we put guild events.
You have a problem with that, fine. You should have just made a thread about it or PMed a mod or both. There was no need to take over that thread the way you did.
As for my arguments?
They are important in that this guild has had far too much drama in it already and I've seen numerous amounts of complaints about it.
Members are becoming agitated and this hurts guild activity.
Entertainment is an issue here Omni and you are having a very negative effect.
I've already made my points and stated my opinions on the issue of the rules and the exceptions to them and really, that's all this is going to boil down to.
I never said you couldn't complain about the guild Omni, I said that if you find so many faults with the guild and its mod's decisions that have already been made, you may feel free to leave.
Making all these threads solely for the purpose of causing problems is ridiculous, over dramatic, childish, and in my opinion should warrant banning.
If you were actually seriously concerned, you should have organized this better rather than make a bunch of threads just to exploit the current problem we are facing about the contests. You should have been polite and mature and instead of throwing around accusations against the mods, you should have tried to negotiate with them.
This is a game whether you like it or not. It's not a country. It's not your government. It does not have to abide by those rules if it doesn't want to.
We are not being hypocrites by having an exception.
And the mods are not the only ones that these exceptions are for.
The Phunkeh thread is the biggest example of that.
And really, these contests aren't for us. They are for the members.
By putting them on the main page, we are giving more members a chance to participate. Meaning, we'd have more work cut out for ourselves.
I hope this can be brought to an end shortly.
