Im not wading through this 10 page long shit-storm of a thread so ill put what i gathered in the first 2 pages into conversation.... I apoligze if i repeat anything that was said, but assuming that it needs to be repeated since this argument is still going on ill try to stick to logic.
First... Aren't most city runs (jueno i know for sure) 3:15 with all extentions??? so if you have a start time of 5:00 , assuming you start on time means that you wont be done until 8:15, overlapping your previous shell. (and we know dynamis never starts on time). So I would say if you want unrestricted access to the zone make your gather time 4:15 or 4:30 and make sure your in by 5. (I really dont think a 8PM shell will be ready on time) so they dont ahve to wait till 8:15
Second.... Before Dreams there were only 5 shells competeing for time slots on tuesday and saturday not only that but with some very early start times for some other shells, both sandy and windy AND beaucedine were left completely unoccupied on the day in question.... So why go to jeuno? Have a bunch of members that need the win in jueno? i think it can wait a week....
This server is WAY OVERPOPULATED in dynamis.... actually no... way overpopulated with underpopulated shells, you had to know that in some way your actions would suffer someone else reprocussions. I know people cringe at the thought of starting with 0 points, and some shells have very flexible point systems to accomodate that distaste, but making another shell will probably get you less AF over time... but hey, if you only need 1 or 2 pieces then you can get them quick and get out. good luck to you.
I would recommend to QCDN and all parties involved to put a cap of 6 shells on the same day with the same time slot... If 2 shells hadn't crumbled in the last couple of months this would be our 8th saturday shell and we would be talking about 100-150 people being inconvenienced instead of only 25. By the way, to those who feel like it wasnt a big deal or "these thigns happen", 40 minutes x 20 people = 10 hours of collective time was wasted, I would be pissed too, especially when theres a system in place to prevent these things....
Finally to the argument of slacking on the part of the admins... still does not override the fact that 2 zones went unused that day, and this hwole thing can be prevented....
P.S. STOP MAKING NEW SHELLS!!!!!
