The CK competition and the staff

[Raistlin]

Del: I swear, you are intentionally trying to be obnoxiously irritating. You say “I’m done, someone else can close it if they want,” and then when another staff member keeps up the discussion and decides not to close it and the discussion to continue, you come back and close it anyway! Seriously, this stuff warrants talking about. At least try to remember what you said 5 minutes ago. I’m reopening this again so the actual constructive discussion can continue. You even criticized this year’s competition, so you should approve of this more open discussion.

I took a pointless, drawn-out competition and made it efficient and relevant.

The last CK competition was highly entertaining and promoted activity by indirect means (people enjoyed it so much they posted more) instead of forcing activity alone.

I'm wondering why you, specifically, are just so intent on harping on this in spite of the fact that most people do not share your perspective.

Most people are dumb. You of all people know the truth of that.

What do you intend to accomplish here? Is your goal to stop the competition so no one gets to have fun just because you believe you're too good for these tasks?

Considering I liked the last competition so much, why would I want it to go away? I actually looked forward to this year’s.

You just seem to be unable to grasp that the rest of the contestants have a chance to win, while Breine never did. And you just keep rubbing it in his face, which I think is pretty cold.

This is just classic. Me pointing out the ridiculous treatment of Breine is “cold,” yet the staff’s treatment of Breine in the first place wasn’t?

I'm calling it: Raist is smurfing with us. There is no way he could possibly think us having fun is such an absolute crime and yet think the other competitions and their pointless over-complicated confessionals and teams and stuff was just plain fine. Haha, April Fools, you almost had me.

Oh get over yourself, seriously; not everything I do is all about messing with you. The revelation about Breine and the obnoxious tasks are far more ridiculous than me pointing those things out.

Also I don't really appreciate you insulting our intelligence ._.

Wait, what? I’ve been criticizing the Staff for taking blatant advantage of you to do busy work for them. You even admitted if you knew the truth, and it happened to be against you, that you wouldn’t want to participate that much. If the staff is willing to tell people that (see: Breine), wouldn’t you like to?

He says the competition shows a lack of respect for the competitors, but I sincerely feel that his implying that any one of you doesn't have a chance to be a CK ever is downright insulting.

Jesus Christ, Amanda, do you just sit down at night and think of things I never said to attribute to me? I have no idea if who has a shot and doesn’t. ALSO, you said "everyone else but Breine" still has a shot in the competition, and he was the only definite no. Del explicitly contradicted that, which just further proves my point.

At least Del is being somewhat honest and straightforward, even if everything he says is outright terrible. He even called it an “illusion” of a competition.

Breine isn't the only 100% NO. There are others. Of course there are others! We can't just let anyone in here. Breine is only a special case because of his status as a member and the fact that he was a finalist before.

So you’re conceding Breine’s “status” affected that decision?

Just because you decided that instead of just picking people to fill our depleted ranks like usual we quickly throw together this illusion of a competition… Needless to say, the finalists are the ones we had in mind from the beginning so everything works out.

There are seriously no words. Yet AGAIN, if real finalists are ones you had in mind from the “beginning,” why are you content to have everyone else pointlessly jump through hoops? At least tell people this information beforehand so they can have some sort of informed choice!
