I was going to stay out of this, but this is getting insane. O M G a double post! Get out the bazookas, ban the player from the forums! Katwijk has whole threads that are filled with nothing but him posting...post after post after post. And for good reason. If he kept posting and adding it to the last post, it would be unwieldy to read. He double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, posts because it makes his comments clearer. At some point, it just hurts communication to keep adding on totally different thoughts. It is why we have paragraphs andspacesbetweenwordssothattheeyedoesn'tgettiredandsometimesadoubleposthelps. I also always put two spaces after a sentence so that it is easier to read too.
I respect the concept behind not wanting double posts, but at some point you have to let go of a rule here and there and use common sense. I have idk... thousands of posts? I have double posted less than 10 times. All of those times were for very good reasons. So, please don't speak about me as if I am some horrible rule breaker who deserves a public dressing down. Not only do I not deserve it, but once again, others watching the forums are chilled from making comments.
I'm glad the times work out for some players, for others, it is a real discomfort. We are a global game with players in a big country with lots of different time zones. Other servers only focus on one time zone. But even still, people have different times that work better for them. Some can play at night, others are morning people, some work. That means that for many, the times of the tournaments don't work for them. These tournaments have really cut down on the potential audience for the whole game since without playing in them you can't do well and who wants to play a game you know you can't do well in? But...hey....this is not my company. I don't have any stock in it either. If they want to cut off many potential customers, that's their business.
Not to mention, even if you can make those close cut off times, you can't manually fight all the battles in that time period. It takes too long.
