[Poll] Rerun event: Clash of the Titans

[ASimpleMan]

Salt... I can taste it.

After reading more and more I actually agree with not re doing the event, even though I thought that it should've been redone at first (Hence the vote. Hey, it was open to anyone to vote lol).

Yeah, I do fly for BAF exclusively. But I don't like the idea of having one event where the GRN was told to 'suck it up' and a similar situation occurs here but everyone wants a redo. You know, all of this really reminds me of American Politics. One side loses the election, wants a recount. Told to suck it up. The other side wins, then they 'have' to have a recount. Just really funny imo. Anyways, I (though I don't say this often) agree with Antonio. Yeah sure I may have some bias against Gallia, I'm open about it (mainly cause they're not from vanilla) but if you're going to redo this one, then the other NL one should have been redone. We have to just move on to the next event. It's like math, actually. What you do to one side you must do to the other (unless its absolutely a no-brainier, which this isn't.)

By the way, this whole 'player determined outcome' was a thing I'd wanted to see for a very long time (ever since I'd known of Disco back in 2012 [though never played]) but the more I see it in action and the more I think about it it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Whoever wins, doesn't matter how, someone will complain. That's how it goes. Somebody will find some way to say it was unfair. Well, here it is folks. Life isn't fair. Nor is war, either.

You can't make everything 100% even and balanced unless you want a draw every time. That would be 100% balance. Some teams will have slightly better players than others. It just tends to happen in a world where not everybody is equal. And even if teams were 100% equal, then when one side wins the other would call BS because it would have been impossible for anyone to win because they were exactly equal in skill, numbers, etc.

I guess the point I'm making is that no, don't do the redo (even though i voted for it first time lol). Have Council and their bois suck it up like Gallia did. Next step is to move on with our lives and to the next event. Now, I would also like to point out Ronillon's post about who the guy was that NEMP'd the server. I wanna find out who that guy is, because I think that was planned. With these player determined events, I think we're going to see more Tom Foolery in the future (i.e strange occurrences of hacking, extra cruisers, arguments about redos, etc). This isn't a two time thing. Reason for that is because when humans are competing for something they want (to influence the story line here) they tend to go all out. "Ends justify the means" kind of deal. Especially because this is a game and we're all hiding behind our computers, now there's even more of an excuse to do shady things.

Anyways, if I could redact my vote, I would. I don't think it should be redone. Let's just get on with it and get underway, partners. The salt is hard to take.
