    PURIBERG

    Mods are balanced, we've got Darsi being overly generous on a regular basis.

    Blame Fengore, he's the only one posting the max of -4 every time. I only do that when I first post for the day (I like to make a splash).

    Meh, we won the last 2 games, who cares if mods were AFK or not, hell, the best game we've had lasted about 5 days. As long as people are posting and having fun.

    To be fair, a lot of the time I post I do it to knock off a chain of posters.

    I'm stuck thinking in 4's.

    Then I shall refuse to post any numbers until Arlee or Treann or someone who does care decides to change it. I think we've had one win since I got pissed during the modstrike that got the score even at 5-5 since then, the mods have won at least 4 times and us the one. Idk if that's accurate as it hasn't been updated since the 26th, which was 4 days ago.

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.

    Meh, we can keep to the 2 minute edit timer, the text about the edit message may need amended. Last edited shows a timer, so it's all good.

    Super annoying seeing those edited messages, especially in a thread such as this where edits are very common place.

    I'm sorry but if you want to win, not posting number sure seams like a stupid idea.

    We won 2 games in a row, the last one today.

    Also, surely by refusing to post numbers you're just 1. spitting the dummy and 2. compounding the issue of players or mods quitting when their team starts losing.

    That's the thing though, posting a number is stupid as well since we just get swamped by the mods anyways. I wish someone would go through and (according to Rixis) find out how many mods posted during the two games we won. Balance should come through equal play from both mods and players, not making up for lack of mods playing.

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.

    Yes of course, it might be unbalanced but not posting number will not help in any way possible.

    I think players don't have a right to speak balance unless mods won hundreds of times more than them, and for multiple threads.

    According to Rixis? If you'd been here helping us win the game you'd know we won 2. Puri got the first after me and Treant both posted in the 40s and got 10 minute timer locked. Treant won the second (earlier today, possibly through the night), netting him his first win in the thread.

    Mods participated are mostly: Dars, Feng and Ana, with the odd number from Mal, Azshira, rocket and Fuzzie.

    But that's due to activity, not balancing issues.

    Neither will posting a number. Posting a number will just delay the inevitable loss, not help us win. The most fun games are the ones where we're actually balanced and either slowly gaining ground or slowly losing it. When we're in negatives constantly, to the point where even losing to the mods we're right back in negatives with no chance to recover, it just kills the fun :\

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.

    Beep boop

    There will always be mod bursts out beating players unless we somehow get a 1:1 ratio of players to mods
    I think the current game is balanced *shrug*
