Hi Nels I feel compelled to defend Beren here as I commented on the fact that he should not tar all the MOT members with the same brush, to which he was very polite in responding with a very positive comment about a number of MOT members and agreed with my comments There was no fued or resentful remarks made in the Team Canada thread by Beren and the situation is being blown out of proportion Please give the majority of the TribalWar members credit where credit is due as their comoradrie has done the world of good for the WCG Graham, I never attacked Beren. I never tarred him or anyone with any brush. My comments were made to and about the forums as a whole. I know that Beren has been respectful in his comments on these fora. I wish that everyone who's posted here put the same amount of thought into their posts. (Yes, I do mean everyone, not just members of TribalWar) |

If you don't know who they are then you must be above the fracas that has taken place in the forums recently. I applaud you for rising above (or else having the ability to ignore) the chaos to recognize the true reason that we are all here. No.. this thread cites a burning canadian flag... This thread (the one you are posting in) was posted by someone who passed judgment on that post i made without reading it or the surrounding posts to see the context. Beren, this thread refers not only to the image of a burning canadian flag, but also to posts in the Canada team thread by you, Graham, and others. There was what could be called feuding between MOT and TribalWar among those posts. The question was asking if any of the Admins had a comment on that. My comment was that posting in another team's thread - especially addressing another different team - was not appropriate. |

The point of my post was just to say that the competitive nature that you claim is inherent in the points system at World Community Grid should kept between team members in a teams respective Team thread, or else take place in the Chat Room forum. World Community Grid does not condone competitive posts on the forums, but as long as they abide by the forum rules, we have no real right to delete them. Posts of a competitive nature that violate the rules of the forum will be deleted. If you want to post things of a competitive nature that do not fit within the rules of the forums here, then you can start your own forum. I hope that makes my point more clear. And I hope my sentences were well formed. Let me get this straight. You don't condone such posts, and that all such rivalry should be conducted at the teams personal web sites. Let me frame this in the way i read it... and you can tell me if this is right. Replace WCG with football. "I go to a football game with my friend. We go for diff teams. While at the football we aren't allowed to jibe one another or barak for our team in any way which would infer that my team is better then his team in any way shape of form. When we go the the bar after the game we can't jibe the loser or his team despite it being a true underdog, come from behind, victory. We then have to go back to our own club houses, where we don't have much contact as, well, we hang in our own club houses for the most part (the rest at the bar or the games). At that point we may make jibes or comments about how we won or how the other team lost... or how it was a draw and we thought we deserved to win." Is that what you are saying? Because that is how it reads. Personally i think you have you head so far up your own ass it looks like a never ending loop which is an odd mix of Escher and Tubgirl. WCG is the place of meeting between teams. To say that we can't jibe one another, or have a team rivalry is not only stupid it is bad for WCG. Both MOT and TW results have gone up because of it. If more teams did it the project would shoot ahead and finish weeks, if not months ahead. |

Ripcat -- MOT found that this did not work. Tribalwar.com in general is only interested in winning, regardless of the cost to others. A few of them do really care about helping humanity, but for the most part, your request will fall on deaf ears. Good luck in keeping your sanity. Beren's comments TW isn't all about winning at the cost of other people at all. We are about protien folding for the good it does, while enjoying it at the same time. We aren't going to be content with "okay numbers" or we would have stopped getting people to join months ago. TW is an online community that is coming up on 6-7 years old.. and if we do something we want to do it to the best of our ability. No half assed attempt. All or Nothing. We see our interaction with MOT to have aided both teams. Both teams have much greater numbers after it then before. Who wins when both teams do alot better? WCG. Perhaps you should focus a bit more on getting units done for WCG then how great MOt is and how caring and into fluffy bunnies you are. At the end of the day more units will get done. And the bunnies will be better off. My Comments Hey Beren I seems to me that the remarks that you refer to, were made by one individual Please don't tar the whole team with the same brush It might help to keep thing a little more in perspective I, like most of my team mates, have only admiration for Tribal War's efforts Beren's Reply no problem... much of the MOT team seems to be quite well aware that WCG has points to encourage competition... kinda rubs me the wrong way when people accuse TW of doing something wrong when all we are doing is supporting WCG like someone supports the NBA/NFL/NHL (to use yank examples... personally i am more for cricket and rugby). .no hard feelings intended to the dedicated crunchers at MOT who have added so much to WCG beyond raw units Where is the fueding If this is what all the fuss was about in the Team Canada thread, it seems a lame reason for the length of this current thread It sure does not deserve the drama it is creating This thread should be locked so we can get on with the real reason for us being here "Crunching" "crunching" "crunching" [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 12, 2005 11:59:44 PM] |

Where is the fueding If this is what all the fuss was about in the Team Canada thread, it seems a lame reason for the length of this current thread It sure does not deserve the drama it is creating This thread should be locked so we can get on with the real reason for us being here "Crunching" "crunching" "crunching" I couldn't agree more... I have yet to see a post, that given the context of the thread, that was insulting to a team. Plenty of jibes or comments. Harmless sarcasm being taken way out of context. Frequently followed by congratulatory remarks about a days results. |

Unfortunately, it is difficult to resolve these issues on the internet. DEF: The internet - The easiest place on planet Earth for any comment to be negatively misinterpred. But you did resolve it. And in doing so you silenced the critics who claim that what has been happening on this forum recently is destructive. Thank you. Nelsoc, you outdid yourself on this one. To have the authority that you do, and yet to use it so wisely and compassionately is no easy task. I trust that the other members of the forum appreciate what you did for all of us today. I, for one, am delighted and grateful to all of you.   [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at May 13, 2005 2:11:16 AM] |
