This is yet another reason as to why we should eliminate RB, since their misclicks are causing division.

btw while we're on the topic of reloads.... I will just offer plako to visit HOF, GOtM side of our site to see our strong policy regarding competitions and reloads.
I remember SGOTM where one of the teams gave away city to AI and had to stick with the decision...and they eventually came 2nd (or maybe even 1st?)...
so we have really strict policy regarding reloads... unless crashed game...no reloads and you have to stick with everything you do ingame.
of course in strategy & tips this policy is not that strict, but that is different matter.
edit:
actually even in the case of reload from crashed game you have to make your best to repeat all your moves you did before the crash... and before submitting the game to HOF you have to contact admin about the crash (if I remember right)
This is not a competition like those SP events you mentioned. Other teams have a big difference in the investment and skill levels, map is not totally balanced, numerous other random things e.g. in war can happen... I'm just trying to say that it is best to give up the illusion of true competition and focus on having fun. One part of this attitude is that I prefer flexibility and fairness. I could have set a precedence here that reloads are very hard to get. However this is not how I feel these games are at their best. This game lasts probably ~2 years, unless it collapses like the MTDG1 did. It is very demoralizing when potentially months of planning is ruined just because of misclick e.g. caused by careless team mate just logging in to "take a look".
I was probably too much in a rush and waiting for 24h at minimum would have been better.
I think it would be best if you go on with me just a side spectator. Sommerswerd was strongly against my election and vranasm has now questioned my objectivity. I don't think I could effectively work, when one of the key teams has several members doubting my objectivity.
This is good position. Admin must have authority. We accept what the admin decides. For me personal, I already said I am OK with the reload and I told why I think it is OK.Even if your official team desicion would have been against, I still could have granted it (I probably wouldn't, but I could have).
Only few things have made me have strange feeling about the reload.
- comparing it to our reload because of game crash is not correct (and it was game crash and bug - we were turned in to AI like 2 minutes after the game crashed and another player/s were reporting crashes to desktop in this period)
- saying that RB's inconvenience is significant and the Germans are not affected from this - one after another - sounds strange to me. RB and Germans are at war and each difficulty for one of them is plus for the other.
I can only imagine the rain of stones and fire that fell over poor KJNoren's head in the RB forum.

Whoa whoa WHOA THERE!!! WTH is that?!?! Why the f@ck is my name being mentionedSommerswerd was strongly against my election and vranasm has now questioned my objectivity. I don't think I could effectively work, when one of the key teams has several members doubting my objectivity.

For the record, I said NOTHING against plako's decision. My opinion is that he is admin, period, the end. He makes decision, that's final. I have NO COMMENT WHATSOEVER, and I really don't appreciate one bit for you to imply that you wanting to quit is my fault in any way.![]()
