I think you guys blew this rule out of proportion. You made this minor rule loophole a huge behemoth with a poll when the best solution was to just update the current rule to be easy to understand. I was trying to help as well, but once I saw that it was just arguing over opinions I left the building, progress is done by doing not by talking. This rule does not need change, it works in all 3 approaches fine and fair so all it needed was an update of wording.
its only you opinion that we blew it out of proportion. the people who got involved are all passionate about W:A, and want to make clear rules for everyone... you got involved too, but when you seen it was not going to be a quick, easy, right to the point debate, you backed off... im guessing because you are no longer as passionate about W:A as we are... if this debate was WOW, maybe you would still be involved, or if this exact conversation took place 10 years ago, i know for a fact you would still be involved.
im not saying you have NO passion towards the game, but you do not have as much passion as the active players... and you cant deny that, otherwise you would still be playing ;p
i agree, it was getting out of hand, but i wanted to give everybody a fair chance to get their thoughts, and opinions in, worms is a tricky game, there are infinite amounts of possibilities, for instance, it was not until a couple of pages into the debate, that we all decide option 2 was really not fair, and i gave an example of an in-game situation supporting that.
anyway, after i felt like everyone got their 2cents in, i made a poll, and after the poll was going stale, i PM'd the big boss monkeyisland to step in.
the fact that you think it worked in all 3 options fine and fair, shows you did not follow the debate... it kind of proves a healthy debate was needed, and that several minds are better than one... option 2 would be very unfair to someone in a certain situation.
avirex, the debating is fine. I meant Senator can update the rules without contacting me.
maybe senator should pick a team of people he wants involved, and who are interested in all of this, and he should make a community, and get private forums... so other people are not bothered by long posts, or 4 page debates.... but i really dont think this is a 1 man job, a team is needed to discuss all options, put their heads together, and come up with the best set of rules, worded properly (wording them properly, after agreeing on the rules is the most important part)
