Blargh! 4 pages of this nonsense? What's done is done. There is no changing it, and hindsight is always 20/20. Let's drop it and get on with the rest of the war already!
If you could "Like" posts i would like this
I wouldn't because it adds nothing useful to the discussion. In fact, it actually adds to the
drama because it implies that talking about the
![Light :light](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/light18x18.png)
decision to suicide is somehow a terrible terrible thing. It's not. It's actually a very important topic and closely related to general War strategy. It's something all teams and players should think about when faced a similar situation.
Sure, team
![Light :light](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/light18x18.png)
cannot change their decision anymore, but are we not supposed to talk about things that have happened in the past, just because we cannot change them? That would be silly. Why not just get rid of the concept of History then? The whole idea of topics like this one is that you talk about what is happening on them. No topics of discussion should be "banned" unless they break forum rules, or somehow hurts the event.
I personally think that team
![Light :light](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/light18x18.png)
made a mistake if their goal is to win War. But to their defense, sometimes you have to make these difficult decisions, and sometimes those are wrong ones. That is not a big thing though because making perfect decisions every single time is impossible. I personally make wrong decisions on a daily basis, but the important thing is to identify those wrong decisions and never make them again. That is the adult, personal growth, way of doing things.
And who knows, maybe team
![Light :light](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/light18x18.png)
made the correct decision? Maybe they would have lost against
![Aether :aether](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/aether18x18.png)
no matter what, which would have led to their demise. I find that very hard to believe, but it is always a possibility. We will see what happens.
The reason I'm posting this is that I don't want people to be afraid of posting their opinions. If people have problems with decisions made by other teams, they should have the right to say so without others posting "please stop this drama!". Remember that without criticism, nothing will
ever improve.
But there is of course a clear difference between constructive criticism, and saying "
![Light :light](https://elementscommunity.org/forum/Smileys/solosmileys/../../../images/Misc/light18x18.png)
sucks". That latter is not allowed, but I haven't seen that on this topic. Only thing I've seen is people expressing their opinions (some for, some against), which is perfectly fine.
