[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 176159, member: 2020"] Considering that this is a very major decision, and that one hour is not a reasonable amount of time in which to consider it: Instead of resolving the statements of Attack and Defense in one hour ... I am going to wait. I will wait for 24 hours. Is 24 hours a long enough time to debate the matter? You can express your opinions during that time, and discuss the matter among yourselves, and make final posts to the board concerning whether we stop or go on. 24 hours from now, I will look at your posts. If you all say go on, we will go on. If you all say stop, we will stop. If you are divided, I will wait again, and give you time to discuss the matter more, and I will give more of my thinking on the subject. - - - I appreciate this sudden 24 hour halt might be frustrating. Do not be frustrated - if we go on, the carnage will begin soon enough. I will say this one thing before I go: You see the joy on the face of the Olympic Gold Metal Winner, in the Olympics. For every winner in an Olympic Event, there are many who do not win. They gave their entire lives to be in that Event, to make it to that point - an entire lifetime of pain, sacrifice, work beyond the end of endurance, damage to their bodies, the loss of all other activities, the loss of a life they could have had - and they lost. But the cameras do not show their faces, the faces of those who gave everything they had, and lost. The media does not show the pain and trauma they experience. The media cannot be bothered with them; they are losers, to be dismissed and forgotten. I am not the media. I am a Gamer, and I care about my players. Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
