Funny thing is, topics like this are potentially Flame board material, yet you call on Cubs to lock it...... but then when he locks something legitimately lock worthy, he’s made out to be a power hungry Nazi.
Sorry to say Cubs, but I'm glad you are the Unofficial Thread Locker :wink: Ill stick to double post deletion and sock puppet detection thank you :lol:
Back to the topic at hand, I agree with those who say to post pics.
Something like this requires them, and quite frankly without them it’s a simple finger-pointing argument. Get on with it or let it die.
The reason that Maseki and I, the two leaders involved in this potential flame, requested that it be locked is because we had quickly and relatively painlessly resolved the problem. So yeah, Cubs, you are right, I am rather distraught at your choice. Since you decided to leave it up though, here is the information you all are calling for, no SS though.
NH gets claim of KB, fight goes well but takes long because they hadn't expected him to pop and didn't have all the members they needed at the start of the fight. More and More people came in to support to. Because the fight was extended in the beginning though, it went SS.
NH deserves praise here, not only did they get it down to ~4-2% on their first try, but they managed to stay alive with it as SS for a substantial period of time, and continued doing damage to it. However, many people did die, and we received word from someone in the LS that they were wiping.
From what we had seen, and what we had been told, the fight was over. From what we are told now, there were still a number of people in the tunnels for TP gain. When a LS wipes, an NM becomes free claim. Calmly this was discussed, Maseki and others understand the reasoning behind it, it was a misjudgment, but not malicious. The word "Steal" implies intent of taking something that isn't yours, and that was not the motive here.
In the future Maseki and I have both agreed that the person in charge of the fight for the LS that may or may not be wiping will tell the other LS's person in charge when they feel they have wiped. Basically, those who are fighting will know before they actually lose claim, before the last member falls... before observers can make a justified guess... and by them taking the initiative to tell the on looking group, it will allow others to prepare as best they can for the fight. Also, by opening up dialogue so early, drop splits can be discussed.
Ele is correct; we have relinquished drops in the past, or at least portions of them. We've even given drops to informants before as a thank you (i.e. KB popped and no group was in the area that could kill it. We were informed, I think actually by NH, that KB was up and gave them a Hide as a thank you. This was ~ a year ago.). The reason this is not a big flame is because rather than fight over who had the right to do what, Maseki and I admitted our mistakes, and made a plan to prevent them from being repeated. Please also note that Maseki requested that his members stop posting on this thread because it had been resolved…
Again, Pup or Cubs, please lock this thread. This has been a non-issue since we made the request last night...
