I never have heard of the guild until now, but I can see where both Higbey and some of you who support the Initiative guilds are coming from. While special contest just for a certain group of people can sometimes be unfair or unequal for other players I think that in this case it does benefit the server. Many gfx seemed to improve tremendously and in that you are rewarding and training your future gfx staff. One thing I have noticed lately for era and classic is that gfx has been getting all these contest and rewards. I think these contest should be equalized. For example have other contest for LAT, SFX, or basically any role. Also should be more in game contest for lets say pkers first of all. If you are going to reward people for their graphics ability why would you overlook the actual people who keep keep your player count consistently where it is? I will give credit for basing and the GST which finally happened on era even though it was pretty messy. Basically from my rambling I am trying to get at I am fine with contest and such, but I don't like when it is only for one group of people everytime.
