War #10 - General Discussion

[DoubleCapitals]

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 ...

Nah, when I said "me", I was referring to itr. That's why it's in this quote. I honestly don't care about the date personally, although a later war will clash with my exams and stuff (it'll actually be worse off than me, but it's just me)

I would suggest leaving it as it is. It is impossible to find a time that fits everyone. Furthermore, the hype will likely die down and applicants will probably decrease.

[Solaris]

Delaying the event will only be detrimental, IMO. People sign up because they're available in -that- timeframe. I think we have a case of vocal minority in terms of setting back the time, here.

[hainkarga]

I would guess most people, like me, doesn't care when this starts. The more people available the merrier.

Information relevant to what I posted before has been sent to Council and Warmasters.

Sol is apt.
Sol is the logical choice.
We all know this.

This does not mean he's the only choice.

This outrage about Discord is because Sol is what we all perceive as "clearly" a better choice.

Here's the kicker:

Might ITR have picked Discord knowing she would be a terrible general, or truly believing that she would be a good general, yet worse than Sol, but picking her because he knew people would stir drama about it? Or further, does he think Sol would be a better general than Discord?

The only person who can answer this is ITR, and ITR has answered with the fact he believes Discord has dedication and would be a practical choice towards this - a better pick than Solaris.

Whether he chose her for these reasons indeed, or chose her because she's bad and hope she flops, or chose her for drama, or even, chose her just to spite Solaris and the community can all be true. Yes, ITR can be lying and picking Discord to spite people and thinking she's a bad choice. But the only one who can aswer this is ITR, and ITR in this thread was very clear. But what he said is in this thread, and he chose Discord. Even if it's a pick out of spite, he still claims that he believes Discord to be a good choice.

Any further complaints about his choice is not a question of what ITR thinks, because for all arguments, what ITR thinks was already stated.

Anyone who keeps complaining about this choice thinks Discord is inapt to lead Light and is a bad choice by ITR which should not be approved.

Which is entirely fine. Just make sure to know what you're arguing for when you start this drama up or partake in it.

That is all.

[inthisroom]

I've stated my reasons for picking Discord or wanting to pick Dm several times.

I'm kind of fed up with a few self appointed justice warriors trying to decide who will lead team Light because my reasons to appoint my successor don't please them.

Yes, I am pissed off that the War dates have been changed. Yes, I wanted to pick a controversial master.

But I also offered this position to two people who I thought are dedicated to this game, besides being controversial.

Your judgement about my choice only shows your self-importance and your contempt for certain forum members, I have no respect for you.

[Dm]

The question here is whether anyone thinks controversial picks should be punished because they stir up drama.

Do you truly believe appointing someone ITR has stated to believe would be a good general - even if picked also due to being controversial - is grounds to changing his decision?

That's the thing here.

[deuce22]

I left before appointing a general last war. That was worse imo. I think people just need to get over this shit.

The dispute is more about 'why' it was done.

The dispute is more about 'why' it was done.

It's been said in the thread like six times by now, what are you talking about.
