October GST Predictions! - 3

Exactly, i'm sorry, in my head what i'm saying makes complete sense... I don't feel like simplifying it haha, basically if we compare this to sports, people who win the most "championships" do not get a trophy for winning the most. They get trophies each seperate time they win, yes, but it doesn't make sense to reward someone for winning the most rewards in a year, which is what happened. They got a "trophy" because they had a winning streak.

I understand what you are trying to say completely. The only thing is, that sports teams don't recruit people just to win championships. Lots of guilds do. Perhaps these extra awards might provide a future of more loyal spar guilds!

If you have a problem with the system, ask an administrator... I'm not sure I can say much more on the topic.

Lol, but these are for the end of one giant tournament. The GST, which stands for Guild Spar "Tournament" (singular), is seperate, therefore an award for winning the most of these doesn't make much sense. I don't care though, i have no problem with it i just found it odd. None the less, congrats US.

Arnold Palmer Award 1981 Given to the player with the most
money earned in a season.

The ICC Awards is a set of sports awards for cricket. The awards recognise and honour the best international cricket players of the previous 12 months. The Awards has been institutionalized by International Cricket Council since 2004.

Honestly if Rufus wanted to he could probably get away with getting US alot more than a hat, I still don't really understand how the sparring system is about that much strategy and technique, but I agree that in a guild spar it takes more strategy and organization than "run around like chickens with their heads cut off while spamming sword"

Anyway, be happy, I have a feeling if some other staff made the GST they would probably give themselves and their guild the prize without actually competing.

It seems odd that sports teams that win a lot of championships, win a championship, because you have won a lot of championships. Until a better team comes along and takes down the champions, there is nobody to beat the champs. So naturally, they will win.

You know what I mean when I say that, don't act stupid to try to look smart. Obviously everybody gains experience. Perhaps you mock because I used the word learn instead of gain? Think before you make a post just for the sake of posting for an edge in an argument.

"dont act stupid to try to look smart"

lol you are full of self contradictory statements xD
learn and gain are also two completely different words.

idk how I'm trying to gain an edge when there is no argument in the first place.

I'm entertaining myself I'll stop now haha

Rexx, you can't call that a post worth reading. Find someone else to troll, on another thread perhaps.
