{ CONFIRMATION }

What are the evil Transformers called?: This question is a means of identifying and preventing automated submissions.

[quote="Wingz"]Although this was addressed in a PM with Burn, I'd like to be transparent about my intentions so that everyone knows what I mean. The last thing I want is a misunderstanding, which is very easy to have over text-based communication.

As nerdy as this sounds, many of us here RP in messages, like it's a real battlefield. Much of my banter here is more or less a rallying cry. It's not really meant as anything more, to my knowledge. A lot of the more overly-dramatic things that are said are just this - my attempt at putting little bits of RP into rallying Autobot forces.

"Harrassment" is one of these things. We're outnumbered, plain and simple, due to differences in player activity. I can't attest to others and how they feel, but "harrassment" to me is the same as saying "pinned down" or "held back". Their numbers do that. The call is not towards the 'Cons or complaining about their numbers so much as it is [u]to encourage other Autobots to log on more often to fight back.[/u] I can see where Burn is coming from, though. I do mention being outnumbered and the lightsabers often enough, but again I'm stating facts. The way things are, we are at a [u]natural[/u] disadvantage due to differences in player activity. This was all supposed to be for motivation and morale, not the continuous vomit of complaining it could be construed as. It was in fun.
 
So far as manipulating the game, I feel I should clarify my wording for everyone... When I say, "something feels off," or things to that effect, I also state that they either know something we don't or something has happened. In both cases, I'm referring to [u]strategy.[/u] Someone is teaching them. I'm big into math and statistics. I've been keeping records of the fights, and the pattern changed. My response was to seek advice for defense from other players and to rummage through dead threads to find things that could help.
 
The only thing that I will admit has legitimately unsettled me has been the Sharkticons popping up. It'd be nice if we could get them on both sides, due to the ability, but I hold no animosity towards anyone who has them. The answers I’m finding for what they actually do is conflicting, so I may do some statistical testing based on the proposed algorithm for ram to see if one theory holds true, [u]out of pure curiosity.[/u] Now I just need to capture a ‘Con alive.  :WHISTLE: (All of which is also subject to moderator approval, as I'm unsure if this would be frowned upon, even after referring back to the rules)

While I’m unsure what has come off as petty sniping, it was in no way intended. For transparency, Bun-Bun and I have been talking in PM about starting a rivalry between he and I as a way of sparking interest in the game again. As far as I understand it, we'd like to see there be more activity so more events can happen. Possibly bring some life back into it on both sides. I have no real resentment towards anyone. The rallying I’ve been doing is to this end.

I haven't been around long enough to know what has been a problem before, and I got very carried away in this effort. I should have approached things differently or tried to be more clear. No stress was intended.

With this said, I would like to continue the rallying! This challenge begins tomorrow, and we need all the forces we can get! In order to participate in this challenge with Bunarino, you need to sign up in the challenge thread! As the first event to take place in what I can only assume a VERY long time, this is pretty exciting! Keep in mind, this is a reminder simply that kills will not count if you don't sign up and is in no way asking anyone to sign on or deploy more often  ;)

Autobots of all levels! Sign up and lets do this!  :twisted: Challenge begins at sunrise on his first deployment, to be stated when this happens! Are you with me?  :WRECKERS:  :BOT:  :MAXIMAL:[/quote]
