tinfoil much? Why would CCP care about your alliance re:the tournament? Take your meds :)
Because we are paying clients like every one else in this game?
Did Cruel Intentions willingly give up thier first place spot on the reserve list? Or did CCP just decide that HUN Reloaded after "EXPRESSING" their desire to participate just get to move up to first on the list? As posted by CCP Mindstar, "- To clarify the above withdrawals, Cruel intentions were first reserves until the reigning champions HUN Reloaded expressed their desire to participate. Due to them being the defending champions, HUN were granted the top reserve spot. Then provides a link to another topic where;
GM Nova states, "The list of participants will stand as it is unless a participant drops out or is bribed out. Yes, this means that it is perfectly ok with us to bribe a team to withdraw. The only requirement being that the executor of the bribed alliance needs to publicly announce that they are pulling out. (No scams allowed)"
So it's ok to bribe an Allinace that's already enrolled? Was this some sort of read between the lines rule that we are to magically decript from the Official thread that states the rules for the Alliance Tournament?
Did Cruel Inentions get bribed by HUN Reloaded? If so why did they need to Express their desire to participate to CCP? Where is the official announcment on the forums from the Cruel Inentions Exectutor that they are withdrawing from the Alliance. The HUN Reloaded "DOES NOT" deserve any specail consideration becuase they are last years champs, they like every one else should be expected to follow the rules. Rules aren't rules if they are changed on a whim or not stated in the frist place!!! OMG!@W#$#@@!
CCP you have a great game, but you sorely "LACK" in treating your clients fairly and without discrimination. How does this make the eve community precieve you? I can't speak for them but I can speak for myself, "NO FAITH" in anything you say, meaning I have to second guess anything stated and expect it to change at any moment on your whim. The only thing I know that I can depend on CCP for is my monthly charge on my CC! I wish I wasn't addicted to this game! = (
As CCP Mindstar stated, HUN Reloaded were placed as the first reserve team after expressing their interest in competing.
The decision to allow HUN Reloaded to enter was taken after the discussion on these forums about the oversight of not preallocating a slot for HUN Reloaded ahead of time. Unfortunately, there is no solution that will allow us to please everybody, once the applications were in, and as a result someone will always feel that they have been slighted.
I don't know why you mention bribery in your post; we commented that bribery of other teams in general was allowed and possible, but you couldn't specify a particular team to take your place, you would simply withdraw and create an empty slot in the team layouts. I believe I explained this in my post here, where I stated that it may take a few Alliances to withdraw before a particular team got promoted to the Tournament, since theres no way to know positions in the reserve list.
To clarify, Cruel Intentions did not get bribed by HUN Reloaded, and as such there was no need or want to post detailing that they were withdrawing.
Is your disagreement the fact that your alliance was disbanded and subsequently removed from the tournament, or that Cruel Intentions were moved to the second reserve slot behind HUN Reloaded?
