I feel you, bro.We all keep saying "I feel" a lot. It's making me uncomfortable. What are these feelings things?
Brandon has friends ? I always that the Admins were a lot like the mob. Everyone kissed the ring and then thinks of at least six ways to kill or overthrow the boss.If the TT was picked based on Bac's friends, you'd likely be seeing an entirely different lineup.
I'm a little short on time, but I'll try to contribute a bit with a few quick examples. Admittedly, these are low hanging fruit and somewhat recent stuff, but like Pheonix said- I don't exactly keep a log book.
On the Ruusan/Serapin note, something that I heard said at one point when some of us were discussing what to many seemed like a frankly bizarre ruling was "If that was Ral vs Prudence instead of Ral vs Sreeya, the battle would have gone to Ral". I don't know that that's a true statement and I don't remember who said it, but I do remember the context we were discussing it in: Ral is a generally neutral party, he's pretty well liked by most who interact with him, and he's a relatively recent community member compared to some of us. Sreeya is a long time active member, despite recent absences, she's former staff, and she's generally liked/feared among the masses. Prudence, in contrast to both, has a sort of shakey reputation (sorry bruh).
So here we have what in many peoples mind was a pretty clear cut thing- the venue on Ruusan's a totally canon location, it was described well enough in the opening post (which was not challenged) and the map being used was readily available for anyone and their mom to see on the Wookie. Neither combatant really had the upper hand in the fight, but Ral had made a beeline for his objective rather than the fight, which was the smart move given the matchup. So then we get what seems to many to be a curveball ruling. It's hard not to look at it, given the history of the players involved, like the Admins had a close call but Sree's argument was favored due to community standing and history rather than merit. Because to many of us it was like saying you didn't know the armaments of the canon ship you were fighting so it's not fair that it used its guns against you. Is it hard to imagine that if Prudence if he were in Sree's position and had thrown a KES style fit over it, would have had his argument viewed in a different light? We've seen Prudii take some really weird hits in siutations that he clearly seemed to have the upper hand in every possible sense, and I have a hard time seeing him having won that battle making Sree's argument.
In this situation I think it would have been avoided or at least the perception of favoritism lessened if there was coherent and transparent explanation of how and why the ruling was made, and if it was given publicly, rather than behind closed doors.
I'll be a first-time mando next timeline. #rpwithmeplox #nobias #needaPvPQueentosupportmeI definitely wanna play a Mandalorian next timeline, but would any of you welcome me or just associate me with admin bias?
Wait what?and even including his Mandalorian in a major conspiracy to try to target the traitor Eris.
I do think it's fair to admit that you do have a reputation as a power gamer. Your title IS "PvP Queen". Same way BN and Appolyon and Wit have that "roflstomp your characters" reputation and Bolive has a reputation as a dick. Deserved or not, I dunno, and much of it may stem from old empire things or Andraste stuff, but that's the reputation. These things build up over time for reasons.
Brandon is like secret illuminati or something?
I call for a vote of no confidence in @Brandon Rhea due to the fact that it is confirmed he is 100% illuminati.How many letters are there in Brandon? 7.
What is seven plus three? 10.
What is 10 divided by two? Five.
What is five minus two? Three.
How many letters are there in BAC?
Three.
How many people is Brandon? One.
How many letters are there in Rhea? Four.
What is four minus one?
Three.
Three threes confirmed. Half Life 3 confirmed.
Brandon = illuminati?
Con-*******-firmed.
