I'm just curious, based on this system, is it ever possible for someone new in your shell to get to the higher/better tiers? It's been said that Demir was in the shell from the start and that Celesia joined about halfway into the shell's life. Could that 20 run difference come from the difference between when they joined? If it does, it seems like there's no way Celesia would have been able to get to tier 1 unless demir missed several months worth of runs in a row. I'm not meaning any insult to your LS or how you do things, but the way it's been explained is basically "first come, first serve" which doesn't look like much incentive to join since it guarantees you won't get anything for months if you're new.Sirelrohir said:It doesnt exactly work like this, as a few runs difference doesnt affect what tier you are in.
I will use myself as an example. At the moment, I am in tier 2 for pld armor. There is one other pld in the shell that is in tier 2 with me. we both started approximately the same time. However, If i am not mistaken (and i could be) I may have been on 1-2 runs more then the other pld. Since the amount of runs we have been on is close, the other pld is still in the same tier as myslef. What I am tryin to say is that perfect does not penalyze for missing a run here or there. The leaders understand that sometimes things come up.
Now, for demir to be in tier one and celes in tier 2, demir would have had to have gone on something like 20 more runs then celes did, meaning he put alot more work to get other people their af, coins, w/e. The thing that bugs me the most is that celes knew the rules.. everyone knows them, yet decided to lot anyway. It was just wrong. I mean I dont even really know her, and after she did this, how do i know she wouldnt lot on a piece of af that I need just b/c she might be lvlig that job at some point?
This is of course ignoring the obvious that if Demir got the relic body, then he'd be removed from the lotting list and therefore everyone would move up a tier.
