Fleurs and Krakii on the officials

[Latrinsorm]

When people worry about how someone is posting more than the points being made in the post, they're doing it wrong. Emotion vs. logic and all that.

There is nothing logical or emotional about this dispute. Allereli has made a claim, that Fleurs is irrational. You have made a counterclaim, that Fleurs is rational. This is a matter of fact - there is no deduction that will reveal the truth of this, no reasoning, only brute fact. You have told yourself that anyone who disagrees with your claim of fact only does so out of emotion. This is (logically speaking) not necessarily the case, even if you are factually correct.

I get that you very strongly believe you are right, but logic has nothing to do with the strength of your conviction.

Jesus, I just looked and it seems like they are. Either they were added afterwards or I'm becoming schizophrenic.

And now I'm having a major case of deja vu :|

If Simu wanted to benefit everyone without pissing off anyone, they should give the top 25 a bonus on their Lumnis average to reflect the extra exp they pulled in during the contest.

Isn't more XP it's own reward?

Let me rephrase

If Simu wanted to benefit everyone without pissing off anyone, they should give the top 25 wealthiest a bonus in their bank account to reflect the extra silver they pulled in during the contest.

You want to give the 25 most prolific experience earners an extra experience bonus for being so good at getting experience?

Considering that they're still going to take a hit on what they could pull in before, yes. Otherwise where's the incentive? There isn't, which is why the average is going to take a shit in March.

There's an assumption that they're playing that way every Lumnis cycle, and not just specifically on the contest week. Considering Fleurs has talked about how terrible and unfun it was to crunch out that much XP on so many characters, and how much preparation it took to do, I don't think that's an accurate statement.

Wyrom took over since he's done a lot more to instill more systemic class than his predecessors.

Very much this.

Now just imagine if they played "normally" during a Lumnis contest week and said they weren't gonna bother going through all that bullshit again to get high numbers. Especially those that had several characters in the top 25 this time around.

Then watch what happens to the average if/when the current bottom 25 become March's top 25.

It'll benefit me, but I still think it's a dumb system.

That isn't even comparable, unless the average of the top 50 bank accounts is given to everyone.
