War #10 - General Discussion

[dawn to dusk]

I feel like the name of this thread is ironic now

So much win. +rep.

Questioning a Master's decision for General? Read the rules.

[inthisroom]

Again, I do not even understand the discussion.

I made my choice as to who should replace me, a person I deem worthy, I did this choice with full knowledge that some people were lacking respect for this person, I didn't however believe it would get as far as to start a hate campaign on these forums.

I've seen a lot of masters here, many of them less dedicated than the one I appointed to replace me.

Discord is passionate and enthusiastic about this game, whatever some who believe that they are better than others here may think, I struggled every time I had to face her in pvp and she's very active, I don't know who else I could have appointed.

Now I understand that many here would have liked to see someone else leading Light, but your personal favours don't determine Masters, fortunately.

I set my trust on those who didn't ban Light to support my choice and prove everyone wrong with a successful War.

I guess we shall see. Let the true war begin. We'll be waiting.

Not ironic really. Apt.

[inthisroom]

Also, to further explain my choice.

I have offered this position to two people, two people I knew to be controversial but who had also a long history of affection to this game, and trial experience. In spite of my annoyance of being deprived of War by the seemingly random decision to change its dates, I have never asked Dm to put up a "Mafia persona" for Generalship, I have no idea where this idea is coming from. I asked him because I thought he'd be dedicated enough to do so, on top of being controversial. Just as I know Discord to be, she has, however, shown just as much dedication and affection as Dm has in recent years and I still stand to my choices, in spite of what anyone who would have liked to be Light Master in my place might think.

I now invite everyone to stop giving the new General shit and have good War, each on their own side, as it is supposed to be.

While it is ok to criticise any decision made by anyone, it shouldn't go too far.  Everything in moderation, including moderation. A master has the right to choose any general he/she wants and i do believe both inthisroom and discord have good intentions. Good luck to Discord and team light.

Ps: Everyone banning light was unnecessary. I banned it too because Discord's options had become too narrow increasing the chances i would be picked. Unlike some previous wars, i have precise choice of teams this war.

Ps2:

I, a longstanding Light fan, as well as Trials runnerup, was passed by as an option for Light General, and instead someone who has no prior association with Light was selected, in an IMO, less than classy fashion. As such, people believe I was done an injusticd/disrespected, and banned Light.

Isn't someone a bit full of himself ? Get over it. Maybe this gif could help.

Apparently my head is too far up my own ass to be able to see the , so I banned it

Apparently I misunderstood why people banned Light. My bad.

poor light, have bad moments in war/trials lately, last place and now the sad thing happens...

The sad thing is WMs changing the dates and nature of War as it had always been.

I'm pretty sure making it an autumn event as usual would not only have resulted in more Masters being able to participate, but also very probably in having more applicants as quite a few potential ones must be on vacation right now.

I'm saying that this happens with light (especially light) that don't have a good moment,
the great advantage is that worse thing than this, not expected to occur (I hope)

your problem with schedule is normal, don't is the first master with this problem in wars

Let's see. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

a) Everyone is full of themselves ya know? Like I'm 100% DC, you're 100% hain, etc.

b) Talked a tad to others. People be banning light not because of any supposed "disrespect".  Rather it's because they think she's not going to be a good general. Relevant, perhaps. Amongst other things, chat hasn't been speaking of nice things lately. But you'll have to ask others for their opinion on that too. I'm not the only one though.

c) Ironically banning Light has become increasingly necessary for all those participants who are like "oh I'm fine with anyone but preferably not light pls" and as more people get banned the more they could be drafted, you see. Then again the ideal situation is no one having these bans, but people aren't taking risks it seems.

Is there any reason why war is starting earlier than usually?

From what I heard, inthisroom and Afdarenty both have a problem with the earlier time schedule.
Also, some soldiers would like to see the war starting later like DoubleCapitals and RavingRabbid.

Of course, war should start whenever WM's have enough (free)time for this event, but is it possible to postpone the event? Two or three weeks maybe?
I will be probably on holiday during vault building phase and just can show up from time to time. Just can speak for myself, maybe other ppl like the earlier beginning of war.
Probably a poll can help here ...
