Alright then,
time for Nika to step in since noone wanted memes or fresh Paintpics.
First of all i'll address the last couple posts. The failure of the alliancepolitics should not influence the actions on this site since casuals and speedruns are a different thing. (eg. SenT is pretty much dead, but we still do speedruns). How much it influenced the casual community i can't tell.
I read Pepsi's post a few days ago and won't go back and answer it bit by bit, instead i'll just give my general thoughts.
One thing first, you can't really compare a ruleset of a competition to the Law of a country.
The thing we should change in our current system is discussing what is allowed, not what isn't allowed. This way people can make as many tools as they like and they have to pass the rulediscussion here first before being allowed.
I wholeheartedly agree with your split of tables. But my biggest interrest is to maintain a certain level of competition. So people actually beat each other's times Displaying new amazing tactics and so on. If we introduce 10 different sections, then everyone can just specialize in one. The Sc community in GW is small af.
That's why i believe having 1 set of rules for 1 table which is most agreeable for most of the community. By default this would be a restricted ruleset, forbidding third party tools. But it would not exclude ingame bugs such as coindrop and so on, which is a bigger turnoff than autopcons for most
(most = my opinion obviously, i am always the majority, i am the alpha and the omega).
As a comprimise i offer the introduction of a second ruleset: Restricted.
Hacking the shit ouf of GuildWars is not as satisfieng as this case i guess.
I'd vote for Pepsi as Mod (if Power ever comes back, another unsolved issue), so his voice matters the most when discussing the exact rules for this new "section" (e.g Bugs allowed or not?!)
In the end i have to point out that it is quite pathetic to say things like "I'm done with this site" a few hours after dropping such a huge post as you did and only reading quick and heat-of-the-moment answers. This is a hobby for us all, give people time to answer
