When you get over your sulk about being on a shit team maybe you'll address the point instead of making useless comments. The point being this: if you are on the committee and think of a way game mechanics can be bypassed, should you leverage that for your own benefit or flag it as a potential issue?

The notion that PP will be better than any team is absurd. PP on paper was one of the worst last year with ~600 members and pretty shit battle stats on average. Adding ~50 friends to it this year will at least make the teams more balanced, but PP in no way has an advantage.
Multipass [1955315]

Your post makes no sense sense. You were considering going female yourself? You post implies that you knew changing to female would expose that team choice. This was not the case last year.

The fact that PP was only for females and MM was only for males was known but is not relevant to what to people are discussing. Why are you avoiding the point?

I don't see it as an issue though, the contest hasn't even begun yet. Will people still think the same if they get eliminated as a result of being targetted thoroughly throughout? This happened last year with pirates and things like this is a great way to test these kinds of contests and bring in a lot of roleplay throughout the game.

I can't even understand how you could reach that leap of logic. Other than logical fallacies of course.

I never said that every situation can be oversimplified or overcomplicated. I said that your argument of "It's a really simple thing to think of" doesn't have any merit.

Thank you! That is a fair and reasonable responce. I don't think anything needs to happen or there was any kind of conspiracy, but the rules were bent unfairly and it's totally ok for people to call that out without being told they're "crying!"

The reasons given in the first post here are hard to believe, since in the other thread PP people were bragging about being first to think about this and accusing other people of being jealous. You did do it to gain an advantage. Nothing wrong with that, it's not an exploit or w/e, it's within the mechanics, but trying to cover up now gives the impression that maybe you aren't so confident there's nothing wrong with it. Own what you did, don't give us this fake news spin that took you several hours after Catthead's whine post to make up.

It does if you're in a position of trust and the tactics bypass a mechanic designed to even the playing field.

That's exactly the point that you, Harley and Swasticle have completely ignored while calling us thick. I know, things might not work out how they planned. It's this kind of scheming, though, that's shifty as heck coming from committee members. The outcome isn't the point.

I think you imply too much that my post implies things. (As far as I know not all females get the option for PP, this has been attested multiple times by females not getting the option to join PP)

My post isn't intended to discuss OP's point, that's true. It's intended to clarify how elimination works to all those already blaming someone else for not thinking about something excruciatingly simple, whilst not even knowing whether it will give an advantage or not.



I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with people trying to band together and form a team, last year we had something similar happen to Pirates, a lot of strong people deliberately tried to be on that team, despite the randomness, and succeeded. Pirates had one of the by far most strongest teams in the competition, which was very well known, and got beaten up for it. Now we have Pink Power looking to take Pirates' spot of last year.

Well guys guess we just have to attack and leave PP on a 24hr basis.

No hosping til last couple hrs on active ppl only.

30min revolving hosp times should keep their points down and keep enough targets for all teams to enjoy.

Challenge accepted PP, well played. Last year they made it to 4th is I remember correctly on their own merit. This just reminds me of A WWTorn Kazakhstan or whatever it was. You guys have hundreds of billions and so much energy already stacked even all other 11 teams combined it will be ridiculously hard to just keep keep you all in check.
