' Wrote:I hate to point this out, Guszaban, but saying "we have fought fairly on these occasions" does not mean that it was the standard practice. A man with a drinking problem saying "I'm not an alcoholic, look, I'm not drinking right now!" is a poor argument.
The ingroup bias idea youmentioned with your stuff lifted from wiki, applied equally to EDGE as it did to those who disliked it.
Aside from that, while I didn't always approve of your methods, you made a lot of claims on the lib bounty board. You were also patient while I attempted to get someone in place who had the time to sort it out reliably. So thank you for that.
I'll just note, the BHG ID doesn't suit a 'private army for hire', you're right. But the problem isn't the ID, it's the roleplay setup and bounty system as a whole.
Well, I feel obliged to answer you here, as you're one of those community members who earned my deepest respect through dedication and effort put into Discovery. Indeed, the bias applies equally to everyone. I have eight years of academic training focused on making me less biased when looking at things and the results are still varying. But we can agree that crude numbers are less misleading and less prone to preconceptions and stereotypical thinking. So let me analyse just one series of claims.
