So im guessing that facts or anything to back up claims is irrelevant anyway.[/quote]



Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Hallu said the 1m was becoming 2m again because it didn't seem to pan out as much of an improvement. Pros and cons of the change were discussed ad nauseum, from sensible to screaming, but ... yeah ... I guess he just "caved in". <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

AMAZINGLY, the 'experiment' was deemed inconclusive, and it was decided to change it back .... juuusst coincidentally, right after Gad and his turret gunners whined. <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Nope ..... no CAVING IN there ..... ALLLL coincidence im sure <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />







Actually i added quite abit to the discussion as you well know NFS <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> , in fact i provided alot of the PROS and CONS and i asked if others had any to add to the DISCUSSION ..... none of which was provided by Gad (as i mentioned IN my posts and as i asked FOR again in those same posts...).

Now what i just asked was WHO complained (provided their 'vote' and reasoning) and asked for it to be changed back ? And WHAT was the info/reasoning ? Ive asked in TWO threads now .....

If this was an experiment ... then thats part of the RESULTS ....... So, Id like to know.

Otherwise it DOES look like caving in.



And i also asked WHO IT HELPED .... was it 'new people'? .... of whom hallu said there were TWO. Not exactly much data to make any worthwhile conclusion, but whatever.

It certainly didnt seem like it HURT new people. But wait, did it have the unforseen benefit of making it more challenging to be a mine repper, and harder to minestack then hide ? <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> ....... No we wouldnt want THAT <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/fool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unknw:' /> *sarcasm*, hurting those poor guys who try SO hard to be lame in the now depleted Chaos zone. Instead lets just ignore the benefits it may have for the avg players (which would include new ppl and regulars) since theyre not whining ....... <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Sometimes a trial for one thing has other unexpected results (ex: Viagara). In this instance it was making things more difficult for the mine reppers ......... hmmmmm you know .. the guys that were whining to hallu and basically had NOTHING to back any of their claims besides " <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sorry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='orry:' /> YOURE ALL BEING MEEEAN ...AND MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME TO BE A LAMER!! "

........... but look <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> .... IT WORKS !! <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Good plan <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />





So i guess this experiment did result in a conclusion ..... just not what we expected <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pardon.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unknw:' />

And the results are evident in the forums <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
