Staff Changing How The Community Decides Who Wins/Loses An Invasion

[Thurion Heavenshield]

I like this very much. All of it.

I'm only worried about the sanity of the Roleplay Judges for having to go through every invasion from now on, but if they feel confident then I do to.

I like that.

In other words, the question is why are there objectives if they contribute nothing to the victory decision?)

To provide goals and structure for the Factions to pursue during the role-play. Doing free-for-all roleplays get repetitive, sometimes objective-oriented roleplays are needed. But objectives still make everything PvP.

We can take away judging duels but keep objectives in, and people will still stop losing duels because to lose a duel means losing the objective. It's a terrible dance that contributes to godmoding, OOC drama, salt, etc.

I accept your cognitive dissonance as a worthy sacrifice for what I'm trying to accomplish.

 

[Tefka]

I think we should put a clause in there that if one faction wishes to concede before it is judged they can do so.

It saves time and effort all around.

[member="Tefka"]

I completely agree.

 

[Asemir]

[member="Tefka"]

Nooooo mah cognitive dissonance!!!1one

I get what you're trying to do. I think [member="Braith Achlys"]'s solution is good. Changing that one sentence alleviates any cognitive dissonance and makes it work.

 

[Tefka]

Once an Invasion nears it's completion, the SWRP Chaos Staff Team will be privately contacted and a Role-play judge will be assigned. If either faction does not concede, the Role-play Judge will decide the victor.

 

[Tefka]

A suggestion, if it matters much, but we could reword this instead of "will not be considered when" to be something like "will not be the deciding factor when". It provides the illusion that objectives and stuff matter, whereas they really only offer marginal advantages if a faction did better in the fields marked here.

I went back and re-read this after Asemir's cognitive breakdown.

No, I won't be changing this line. Despite our need to make things make sense. Mainly because you're trying to provide that illusion, and I'm not. I don't need illusions to convince the community, and I don't need illusions to provide future confusion for our Judges.

I'm straight up telling you, the members, the Faction Owners, that it does not matter and will not be considered.

Your objectives, your pvp duels, your scoreboards, your point counting - none of it matters.

Just role-play.

This looks good.

Considering the mess of the Torgoria invasion where it came down allegedly to 4 OS members trampling a GR one, I think this would be welcome relief.

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

I'm OK with all of this

 

[Kana Truden]

I can dig it too.

 

[Allyson Locke]

Yes! All my YES.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Shall we get a poll going for this?
