Leviathan FC Progression Thread V4

That is the only reasoning I've heard, then-- because the list of groups becomes too long and "confusing".

Drexxin, are you up to the task of managing a few more linkshells to your list? You said you've worked in databases quite frequently, so I don't see it being too much more of a task for someone like yourself.

The workload is a lot but it's not the quantity of the list that's stopping me from making the decision. I'm waiting to hear more input from Linkshell / FC leaders or representatives that can give a solid argument for why Linkshells should be included and credited evenly with Free Companies and can convince me away from the points I made earlier of "drawing the line."

Well, it's not really elitism, I'm just trying to find a reason to add linkshells and for those linkshells to combat my points. I'm not doing my job if I just succumb to the biggest circlejerk and make changes on a whim.

No one else was going to continue the progression thread so I stepped up to the plate to fill the shoes. It's a lot of work and I understand that I will receive flame from either party (FC's not favoring linkshells / linkshells feeling left) no matter what decision I made, but really, I just want what seems to make the most sense.

Zero reason to include them since the recognition you want is already on the world progression thread.

Well then why have server progression threads? I mean, everyone else is recognized on the world thread. Or do you feel the need to "epeen stroke" to try and get members to join? ;]

Not everyone is included on the world progression thread, ourselves included actually. I can only speak for myself in saying I rarely frequent the world thread myself.

A higher amount of traffic from people interested in specifically this server will be going to threads specifically about this server. Levi FC leaders don't go to the world thread to check out the progression of other FCs on Levi, they go to the Levi forums. People interested in transfering to Levi visit the Levi forums and click on the various FC website links on the progression list to check out the FCs.

I'm pretty confident that people don't want to transfer servers solely to be part of a Linkshell.

You said the point of this progression thread was for recognition for transfers and recruitment. So why exactly are you not on that thread? Why was that not your priority?

I'd xfer to be part of a linkshell that killed/was close to kill t9, specially if they were server second. <3

drexxin you are a heck of a nice guy i know that and are only trying to do what you feel is best for the server but using the input from maybe 10-15% of the server population (if you are only taking into consideration from the few fc leaders you mentioned) to keep tabs on the server progression as a whole doesnt seem very fair to the server as a WHOLE maybe people would be happy with it being labeled Leviathan FC progression and someone else can start one that is Leviathan server progression? Its a lot of headache i know but differentiating fc progression and server progression are two different things right? maybe?

It all depends. My personal take is just people are heavily undervaluing commitment. If one person was a player for raids on two separate servers, fine. But two groups in the same "ladder" (aka the T9 race) that have intertwining members is counter-intuitive. I don't think people will fully understand the advantages unless they've frequently taken part in competitions, but the disparity is there and makes it a greater "risk" to try to compete STRICTLY with a Free Company (unless someone can convince me otherwise.)

Maybe my opinion would be different if people were ONLY part of a Linkshell and not a free company that was ALSO attempting to down T9.
