My dear friend, I have enclosed two links in my post one of them is the official rule guide of Battle Dawn on Wiki that states that after 100 ticks of one alliance holding 10 relics the game ends. The second link is a message that ALL admins send at the beginning of each game that states the very same thing. So THERE IS something stating that the era will end at EXACTLY 100 ticks. Either fix the rules or respect them. I respected their rules and why shouldn't they respect theirs ? Mistakes happen but I ask for compensation. Mistakes happen but they must be fixed and not passed under silence and injustice. Mistakes happen and we get banned for them and Admins should take the responsibility of them. Either change the rules, change the way eras end or change the admins.
And yes I do demand compensation. I follow the rules to avoid getting banned and I expect the same.
Thank you for sharing with me all these comments and your experience, truly. Thank you.
You are pointing out 2 items which state an alliance must hold the relics for 100 ticks in order for the world to end. It does not say "the world will end at the 100 tick mark". I know it seems crappy that when it says 100 ticks, it should mean 100 ticks. But the wording there was purposeful. Once again, there is human error with manual manipulation. The admins are not super humans. Computer's can be up and active 24/7. We cannot, admin staff included.
No where in either example does it say world will end at EXACTLY 100 ticks of an alliance holding 10 relics. It states those are the requirements for the world to end. It's just like doing diplomacy in the game. If you don't watch the wording specifically, you will get burned by a loop hole. All the time people go "I said we were on friendly terms, not added as allies" or something of the sort. Wording is key in this scenario. Once again, I do sympathize. I and many other's have been in similar situations.
Once again, my suggestion was made to attempt to fix this issue. Hopefully it'll be made soon, but at the same time, the development team is trucking away at BD mobile. A lot of their time is focused elsewhere.
You can continue to ask for compensation outside of the world you were playing, but it still comes down to the admin to make the decision. I am simply telling you that there will most likely not be any compensation for the reasons I gave above. Sometimes, you do everything right and things still go wrong. It's never something that feels good. But for all you know, Joe may have been in a car accident and in the hospital which was the reason for his delay (this is NOT actually the case! Just an example!).
Would you still put the blame on Joe if that was the case? Now in all seriousness, it was most likely just simple delay on his part due to his own activities in real life. But as I've said a few times, admin's are human too. They have the same needs as you and I and require sleep, time for themselves outside of the game. This is their job. No one wants to be on the job 24/7. No one. If I told you I'm making you admin and you are required to be on ALL the time, you'd probably complain and rightfully so.
Joe was away for 40 ticks (20 hours). This is not even a full days worth of time. I TRULY sympathize with you, but I also understand that being an admin is an all day job and no one can be online all day. Give the admins a slight bit of slack. I'll see about helping you in your plea, but the circumstances are as I stated.
You say you deserve compensation, but also think about all those who had similar situations and received nothing. As well as how many say they could have had a "better rank" if they knew the era was gonna last an extra 40 ticks. The admin's can't fix everything for everyone. Circumstances are sometimes in your favor and sometimes they are against it in every manner. Not asking you to like it, but telling you it happens.
