However
I
missed
the
whole
drama
with
@Godde
it
seems.
Only
now
I
noticed
that
he
wrote
some
post
that
mods
immediately
isolated
in
a
subthread
Off
topic
/
Assylum
-
so
that
nobody
would
find
it.
And
they
forum
blocked
him,
so
I
understand
his
rage.
Here
is
that
thread:
https://zero-k.
info/Forum/Thread/34654
.
That
post
was
written
in
a
very
angry
tone
(
kinda
understand
why
mods
burried
it
then)
,
which
I
find
untypical
of
@Godde,
because
he
seems
like
a
very
peaceful
guy
(
his
forum
karma
is
+1358
/
-21,
which
is
much
better
than
anyone
else's
karma)
.

This post was preceded by an extensive conversation on Discord between @Godde and @Aquanim and other mods (and players) about that FFA drama that most of us have seen. Both @Godde and mods had arguments that make sense. In short, mods think that your ultimate strategy in FFA should be to try to win - otherwise it may not be fun for other players (ie. @Hoppili is not happy if he is targeted - regardless of anything else - by @hedkeaf). @Godde thinks that trying to codify even this "rule" is futile because FFA can be very chaotic. I mean, one can have a grudge from previous FFA on some players and thus he might want a revenge and just go after them. Moreover, everyone has players that he likes more and other players that he likes less and he is gonna attack those he likes less more likely. Also, regarding that @Hoppili vs @hedkeaf drama - yeah, after he eliminated @Hoppili, @hedkeaf wrote in chat smthing like "my work is done", but I spectated multiple other FFAs with @hedkeaf and he is usually extremely aggresive and just goes after one player until he is eliminated, he does little eco/porc, so I do not think him going purely after @Hoppili was out of his character, except for that provocative message. That is just how he plays FFA. Plus, you have new players and players like @Heldenstein, who just makes geometrical structures out of porc in FFA - is Heldenstein trying to win too? Or are we gonna ignore his case because he is not specifically targeting a single player - so should we change the rule from "try to win" to "do not target a single player if it obviously lowers your chances of victory"? Where do we draw the line? FFA has "free" in its name and @Godde makes a sensible point too. It is definitely not a simple discussion.
