Know what?
TAKE A HIKE!
I have all respect for a strategist getting demoralized when fighting an inconsistent system that doesn't provide the expected results. I also have respect for a very large group doing their thing, pushing Torval from second to tenth position. I have respect for the way the Zachary Hudson community is organized and several of it's key members. I have respect for sportsmanship and honor.
But you can take your "bias" shenanigans and shove it.
As the strategist on the other side I have been working my ass off for one and a half month, usually doing a full-time job for my power and usually waking Wednesday nights. Pushing myself through anxiety and uncertainty of what will happen while doing my best to improve morale among my friends even when my own is low. For me, a "collapse" is not just a game. It is a loss of my friends, my home within Elite: Dangerous and countless hours of hard work.
Torval expanded successfully twice (
HIP 105606 and
HR 8104) based on plans designed by the strategy team and paid with 300-500 million credits by our heroes, but we all had to take the crushing disappointment when we
were not awarded our systems that by all official information (interface and manual) should have been awarded.
We also fortify week after week at a greatly increased cost due to
a broken Fortification Ethos that have also been reported without a fix.
And even in our small size we still suffer greatly from preparation shenanigans with unknown forces
preparing the system Warwa and have paid 100 million twice with a very limited playerbase to defeat that crap, with no one knowing who these guys are and without any support from the larger Torval groups or known players.
And even if such changes would hurt me,
I promote ideas that benefits Zachary Hudson and put Zemina Torval at disadvantage as long as the changes make sense.
We within Zemina Torval improved our situation by allowing ourselves to lose a lot of systems to get the situation into a more manageable state. Most of our insane efforts to get out of our situation have failed due to mechanical issues, not without lack of effort, plan or community.
You sitting there whining about bias when you did not manage to
eradicate a group of fellow players is a complete disgrace to sportmanship and the powerplay community as a whole. You should be ashamed. I have opposed similar sentiments against Archon Delaine even if expressed by other powers within the empire. I find such sentiments to be quite disusting. But your whining about "bias" really takes the price.
