Or do you, like I, think this answer is pure bull"?
Yes I think your answer is pure bull.
I've given you two scenarios in which the situation you witnessed is perfectly possible.
You refuse to divulge the necessary details to allow us to make any determination which scenario was the most likely played out. If there was a glitch then by ruling out those two scenarios, THEN we might agree with your little conspiracy theory.
Quite frankly, I think you're avoiding telling us all the details about the factions in question because you don't know any of the details we're looking for. And instead of refusing to admitting to making a mistake, you're trying to cling to your narrative which is shoddy and full of holes as it is and hope you're loud enough to drown out reason and deduction.
Your ticket reveals the system isn't perfect.
Old news. You're late to the party.
I hammered on CS repeatedly until I got the information I wanted to figure out the glitch that was locking me in perpetual Civil War. It took them two tries to get it. Which isn't bad since it was two different people. It probably helped I was VERY SPECIFIC in what I was looking for because I had all the details needed.
Other then this one glitch, the BGS has worked EXACTLY to my expectations and reacted accordingly to very specific input. Everything happened exactly as I directed it. It responded to my efforts, and I adjusted accordingly.
The game will always display unintended behavior. Known the intended behavior helps.
So ether you missed the countdown and continued to push anyway, or you pushed a non-controlling faction higher then the controlling faction.
And until you give us more information into these two factions and their influence levels, you're nothing more then a troublemaker. And not the good kind ether.
So until you give us the information I'm after, nothing you have to say will hold any water. The dead horse you're trying to attack with "BGS doesn't work as expected" is already glue.
