I disagree with you wholeheartedly. Essays of any kind are absolutely the time to express yourself creatively. What is the point of a meaningful essay that is so dry and boring that it is a punishment to even read for its audience? These are not political science essays, but essay regarding a game. It is completely appropriate to have fun with them, as long as the meaning comes through. Not only is this a game, but its a medieval game. His use of middle-English phrasings is even more appropriate. In fact, its his chosen style of writing that caused me to give him a higher score.

The point of the essay is to force the writer to think about their actions and their ramifications. Whether they have a good time doing that or not is irrelevant. Helping the reader have a good time reading it shows forethought and consideration. Good writing and a creative streak can help make any situation more enjoyable, and I applaud it.

I totally disagree with you there. Unban essays should show effort! Even If you dont think he should be unbanned, the fact is he should put creativity into it. Creativity earns extra points!

Both of you missed the point. Tiger I agree with you on that it should show effort, but this is an instance where he put more effort into making it amusing than understanding why his behavior is disruptive and unacceptable. This should not become the norm for others.

Garison: Solemn work can have a creativity of it's own. This isn't about making a judgement on whether or not the work is amusing but that he clearly illustrates the points he has been asked to make, and just as you said, think about his actions and ramifications. However, essays like this getting passed through is setting a precedent that it's acceptable to post something that is insincere and self-victimizing so long as it's amusing or entertaining in some fashion.

We all know his actions and how idiotic they were.

The question is does his essay both stay to the topic and show his remorse.

On topic: 5
Remorse: -4

Essays like this, the poetry, or any other whimsical writings seems to make a mockery of this punishment. It shouldn't have to be said but this isn't an instance for an individual to flex their creative muscles or to have a good time doing it.

That wasn't my intention, and I don't recall you telling me this, however long ago. I know now and I'll remember not to do it again, but I was just defending myself and typing a reply I did not intend to crash anyone.

I specifically told you not to play the fool. I've got better things to do than reading about you playing the victim. Playing with my balls is one of them.

It's an hour ban.

You tried to crash the game for people. You might "state your opinion" on the forums as much as you like, but if I catch you doing the chat spam at the beginning of the round again I will not hesitate to ban you for longer.

Don't play the fool either, I warned you much earlier in the month about the same thing and you ran with your tail between your legs.

Hey Jetsam. I've posted a thread on a league much earlier this month. We have similar ideas and access to a server to host the games. Perhaps we should pool resources so that we can get one league started sooner rather than later.

Teams must wear similar armor (subject to change)
45 armor limit pre-loom
1 Ranged player (Archer, thrower, crossbow) per team, must be designated before the start of a match

Still, I'll sign on if a team needs another player, or as a sub.

I think it might be hard to get 6-8 teams of 11 players though...that's 66-88 players. I don't know if that many people play Rageball, let alone want to participate in a Championship! Lets see how many we can get though.

The Similar armor is to create a sort of unity in a team, not to mention stopping teams from having this asinine ragtag of individuals with no apparent cohesion.

The armor limit is to prevent people from having 4 guys in plate sitting around the goal, which at the time of the writing of the thread, was very small. Even now it would still be far too beneficial to a team for them to have a defense comprised of all plate. This is about skill and teamwork, not who can crutch the hardest.

Ranged in cRPG is rather weak during battle before the latest patch, however 1 archer in a rageball team means that the ball carrier or a chaser is being consistently slowed by someone who has only a modicum of skill. Now apply that to a team comprised of 3 to 4 archers all volleying at the ball carrier or the opposing team chasing. Archers, in this mod, are not just limited to being effective with a bow, the same goes with throwers and crossbows.
