I just wish to speak of the trueth. The trueth is there is nothing call absolute fairness. If there is someone can gain from this new schedule, someone else benefit must be sacrificed. This is the universal rules.

What I am trying to say is if we are going to change the schedule at least consult all of the harbor holders. For example and just for example (No offense please ) :

If Blacksun will have a better position to attack Armored Angels at Tokyo harbor by passing this schedule, Is it fair to the Armored Angels?

The original schedule has been going on for a long time, why suddenly must we change it? If SDE will wish to reset the current order of HA, what about the investment those harbor holders put in?

Please think about those questions, you might have a better idea on what’s really going on there.

Alot of interest has been generated recently, which is a good thing. I would like to say I'm not Doctor Evil with a masterplan to change HA times so I can dominate the world. It just seemed like a logical change, ergo my suggestion thread which was turned into a poll.

After the massive poll swing from 90% yes to 40% in the period of 6 hours and the discovery un-verified accounts could vote I became highly suspicious and sent a ticket to DarkGM to validate the voting.

His reply was....

Woot Legit FTW!

Fara,

I think there are a lot of things to discuss. There are some questions for you and please listen it and consider it carefully.

1, How do you know someone is using unverified account to vote in the first place? If none of your friends did this, how do you know that? Actually, the truth may be very simple.

Do you know how many Asian Players play this game? How many of them go to this forum everyday? If some day they suddenly found out their best interest has been sacrificed, the only thing they can do is to vote. What do you think you will do? That might be the truth for the suddenly come out votes.

2, In the HA, the attacking fleet always has a choice on which to attack. What about the defense team? Do they have a choice except giving up their precious harbor? So, shifting the entire HA schedule will definitely help some players to play HA, but also make some players quit HA. This could happen within One Fleet, because some fleets were so diversified.

So, who decide who are going to play HA and who will not? The God? SDE? Or You?

Ok, so, will we going to reset the HA, just because new schedule? What about the investment they put in?

Last time when four servers combine to twos, all the harbor holders got partial credit of their investment back. What about this time? Do you ever consider this issue?

3, there are always winners and losers in the HA. However, one certain fleet may take advantage from this schedule and win the HA, only because the new schedule is good for them. Should this consider to be some kind of cheating? Which way do you prefer , lose with honor and respect or win with a shame??

What I am trying to do is to let more people to see the truth of this event and poll. They may have a second thought on what they know and what they will vote. Politics is always dirty and propaganda may be blind some peoples. The most important is to let more people to see the inside of it and the holy truth.

errr thank you Vawlkus for the passionate defense :)

Suffice to say I made a suggestion, then sent in a ticket. The GM's really liked the idea so made a poll for a "democractic vote". These changes were not made to benefit the American time zones only. The Tokyo change benefits everybody and the Hamburg/Newyork change benefits Europe the most.

Yes I get it, some Asian fleets/players who already own Hamburg or New York are going to potentially lose out because its 2 hours earlier. With the argument hey we invested lots of time and money defending this harbour since merger, what about compensation?!

My response to you is, nobody lost out more than Blacksun in the merger. We lost Hamburg and our 10'000 production rental BB5's. But we realised it was for the greater good and saw it as a new oppertunity.These time changes could offer a new competition for yourselves, Tokyo is a prime target for everybody now.

I've said it before, if you don't like my times, offer an alternative. If you want to Keep Hamburg and New York the same but change Tokyo then say so. Simply voting No keeps prevents us from moving forward.

voted yes
