Kill Smith - Rec 3/27, Syn 3/31, Vec 4/1

**SolidRevolver**

*ponder's on it being worth it to go to the event on Syntax to fight through the lag/possible server crashes and the aftermath of pointless drama*

SMILEY

**Demedrian**

LOL Recursion drama is the best! *eats popcorn* As for the rewards thing, it would be nice to see org rewards. The personal awards thing, I never really had a problem with it but I do see other people jumping over everyone else for them. I'm sure some would cut their friend's down (his/her RSI) for one and that simply cannot do...

Dang another event I missed. I was too busy leveling up in another MMO called, "REAL LIFE!" Congrats to Ventio for getting the kill shot and TC for getting the CQ. Personally I never cared about special items and stuff. I just want my team to win. I never understood the last shot thing because I remember some level 38 one time doing like 12 damage to somebody and it was the kill shot and that person got the reward and was an alt from a different server. That was messed up. I have seen time and time again FH, DOE, and TC have teams that do the most damage and some other clown gets the kill shot and all the recognition. There are some people who really put time, energy, and effort into these special items and they deserve to have them. I also think they should bring back org rewards to get us to work together.

Oh well nothing we can do about it except bring it up for discussion. I mean how hard is it to figure out which team got the CQ? Anyways, I apologize to my team, because had I been the sixth person we would have gotten that kill shot. LOL!

I've just gotten used to the fact that I'm not going to win any kind of special item except by pure dumb blind luck. RP isn't rewarded the same way last shot bs is, [unless you're on syntax, before the Syntax "*CENSORED* I EARNED THIS WITH RP" squad shows up] and Neoteny put it best.

The system's *CENSORED* up, but that's the way it's been for years now, and I can hardly understand how anyone would be surprised. The FM-1500 is still the only "prize" worth winning, and you have to go Mech and not be Trace to get one.

Don't care who got the prize, dont care who got the cq and who whines about it. I had a blast.

Im not sure why people are complaining about the same problems that have been debated time and time again with no result. Just enjoy the event and say congrats to whoever got the kill shot regardless of whether you agree with the system of winning or not because our advice isn't heard

Grats to TC on getting the CQ, that one is definitely one for the record books.

Last event I was just happy getting Smith's CQ and that Trilateral won a prize, people need to chill out.

P.S. NO WAY ANYONE OR ANYTHING CAN OUT DRAMA DRAMACURSION

I vote to clear this entire thread up until you hit arooouuund... here.

By the by, did anyone happen to get the details of Smith Virus?

This is why we can't have nice things. We can be one of the best communities for MMOs one minute, and the next we're all petty whiny little bizzitches.

It's done. Deal with it.

If you're really dedicated and headstrong about the issue, make a separate topic on development round table.

I agree, this thread has turned into posts moaning about how Rarebit decides to hand out rewards in any event. It's been done to death long before the Anniversary. The only really useful contribution on the subject was Proc's idea about making a specialised version of his log editor.

Clean-up on aisle 1....

Cap, I'd go back a little farther, but that's just me.

It was the same as the Smithlings, something like "This is an incarnation of the Smith Virus", or something very similar to that.

EDIT: Oh, well. Not exactly the same as the Smithlings, which happen to be "A symtom of the Smith Virus".

Honestly, they need to ditch the whole "cash and prizes" reward system for "winning" an event.
Remember back in the day, when you'd do an event and everyone would work together because they wanted their organization to come out on top? Remember when everyone in the organization was rewarded, ala the Race to Find the One?
Remember all the drama that came up when the Assassin Masks were given out? Wasn't that an indicator that you can't have this type of reward system with our community?
Not only does it cause unneccessary drama, but now organizations don't even work together to win an event. Everyone's too busy scrambling over each other to "win" so they can have the perpetual code cloud coming out of their rear.

Go back to organization-wide rewards. Everyone in that org is happy, stats can be posted to show which org collected the most or killed the most, and people start working together again for a change.
Stop giving this community reasons to be at each others' throats. It's a game.

I am Metalogic and I agree with the Hippie.
