War #10 - General Discussion

[Blacksmith]

Regarding the dates. I have no problems whatsoever with moving the date to the usual war start time. And I don't think lots of either people would have problems with that either!
Or at least extending the auction or vault building.

Where did the WMs put the list of the Generals? (my suggestion is in Announcements)

Usually there is a roster topic. I assume it will be the same this time, and WM's are probably waiting for fire gen to be confirmed.

In the meantime you can have a look at this unofficial General list. Master of light and fire still needs to be added.

Basically, this. I would add that extending the actual event start time without delaying the application period starting risks fringe applicants being more and more likely to desert or abandon their post/team early/mid-event.

I get your point. But like to add that war has become shorter. I my second and third war which lasted from august-february. Last war didn't even last to january and started the same month. So time wise it has already become shorter and more effective.

Officially announcing that Discord will be leading Team this coming War.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't there normally a "War is Coming" thread in Forum News and Announcements?

There may be some who are not aware that war apps are now open...

I don't know. But soon enough it will be announced in the newsletter.

A 'War is Coming' topic would draw significantly more attention to war than a small section of the newsletter would.

Better make sure it's big then. I can take care of that. But I agree that such topic would be good as well.

inthisroom clearly has no respect for his title or the element of Light. Are we really going to let this happen?

[RootRanger]

I believe there is precedent for having council select a general, when necessary. Considering how many players have added Light as a banned Element in the wake of inthisroom's decision, I think council or the WMs should look into the matter.

[inthisroom]

I'm still the master of here, I have made no farewell post on these forums.

I appointed Discord because I thought she'd make a good job and show enthusiasm, she won't do a Worse job than anyone else I could have appointed, current masters of other elements included, this is a chance for her to prove herself.

Anyone who thinks they'd been better for this job or is in a position to judge my decision just show their own self-importance.

I will do whatever I can to prevent anyone from challenging or changing my choice.

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.

Less biased answer: As Master, inthisroom can either be General in War, or someone else can be chosen, either by the Master in question or by Council. The timeframe of war doesn't mesh with inthisroom's schedule, and as such he appointed Discord as General. People are taking issue with this, and in some cases banning Light, because:

1) They believe other candidates (namely Solaris) are more worthy, and are using their ban as a form of protest
2) They believe Discord is simply not worthy, or would not make a good general, and thus are using their ban
3) They believe inthisroom's action were malicious and against the spirit of war
