Magus Cup Blender!

[Visla Eraclaire]

It was still funny, though. However, I understand why it is staff policy to frown on such behavior (having served a fair amount of time on staff, myself). Except this then leads me to wonder why Taskmeinster, an Administrator, responded to Homun's arguably immature antics with, not to put too fine a point on it, even more immature antics? Especially while also violating some common sense tournament guidelines in the process -- posting several times in a row, and delaying for a considerable length of time before posting at the last minute. That doesn't sound like the kind of behavior most would expect from an administrator.

So, approximately half of all the threads ended by disqualification. At least it's less to judge

Can anyone really say that they didn't see this coming?

Funny maybe, that's subjective, childish, definitely. As for what Task did, I don't necessarily condone it, but it most definitely is not on the same level as what Homun did.

One could call it childish; I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you on that. As for whether it's on the same level or not: that would depend on how you measure it. That doesn't really matter, anyway. I just found it rather silly and pointless, because if Task was attempting to save face, it didn't work. That's all; contrary to Visla's belief, I'm not out here trying to rouse the rabble. I like to think that I'd be more creative if I had that intention in mind.

Now now children, this isn't being productive - not when there's tea to be drunk and scones to be consumed!

Which brings me to ask, roughly how long does judging take, i,e - when can round 2 draws be expected, two days, a week, two weeks?

Wha- No, you don't get to do that. You don't get to pick and choose when being belligerent is okay and when it isn't. Unless you're prepared to condemn both of them, fuck off with that shit. This "mods stick together" shit is going way too far.

I didn't.

Really, me and my silly optimism.

Make your points, have your opinions, but don't keep fanning the flames. You've been repeatedly warned about this.

To bring to light what was the purpose of the posts... I wanted to get rewards still, since Homonculus obviously left at a point where no spoils were going to be rewarded. Hence why I continued posting, multiple posts back to back. I waited till the last minute because, honestly, a 40+ hour work week, 5 students I'm tutoring for their finals in math, and another 4 in general humanities courses was quite a bit to try and be active through. Friday was my only day off last week, and is looking to be my only day off for two weeks if next week is promising to be the way it is.

My final post, though immature (and I'll take whatever argument that says it wasn't right for an Admin to post that, because it's true but I don't care) was going to be the way I ended the thread anyway. If you have been a mod, then you've seen the PM that it was related to before, and would know the background.

Sure, it was childish and stupid. I accept that. But I also don't care. If there was a post that he did that wasn't powergaming or bunnying I'd love for you to show me. Otherwise, I'll stand by my decision and keep my post the way it is.

BTW: the ending that was in bold, what I said my character sent as a reply to Homon, was exactly what he sent me through a PM regarding a judgment of his. It was due to the fact that he didn't respect me as a judge, or a staff member, and in turn was his mature way of telling me that I was wrong about his powergaming in the thread I had judged. Was it immature of me? As I said yes, but it was also incharacter. So too bad.

[Serilliant]

There's nothing more about this issue that needs to be said in this thread. If you have more to add, feel free to send PMs to the relevant parties. Otherwise, we're starting fresh.

This thread is devoted to the Magus Cup and the discussion of winners and losers ect. Place your predictions here or even just toot your own horn!

[Amaril Torrun]

Despite some usual inactivity and a Battle-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, there are some pretty creative and well written threads in there. There's always room for improvement, but I predict some decent success when we look back on this Magus once it is finished.

[Duffy]

And here I am having to ask again, what's the rough turnaround between rounds?
