So tell me if I’m wrong about any of this since I wasn’t around BD at the time all the voting happened. But this is the series of events I have heard of and researched so far.
1: CE was announced and a tick poll was created. The winner of this poll was 4000 ticks (61% of 66). The post starts off with Alex saying
2: Milan made a poll about whether to have a tick limit or not like a day after the official one and the winner was no tick limit with 73% (of 15) of the vote. Now I’m curious to see where the “popular demand” for a tick limit is.
3: Now that the era has been underway for quite some time, due to the staff overruling the community’s wishes, there is unrest in the community because the era is likely going to end in literally the worst and most boring way possible. This was predicted by many that wanted no tick limit by the way. We want the era to actually end in a fun and exciting way and are encouraging you to actually change the rules to what a majority of the community wanted anyway.
4: Suddenly now it requires 100% of the community to agree to this? It took less than a third of the community to let you guys claim “popular demand” before the era started.
If there is actually a link that supports the “popular demand” comment that Alex made please show me. I wasn’t able to find it while I was looking through the forums and typing up this post.
There is even a comment on the poll that suggests the popular opinions were either no tick limit or 2.5k ticks. If that is true, and then 61% chose 4K ticks, I’d say that’s even more evidence that no tick limit would’ve likely been the “popular demand”
I’m going to go off Josh’s NBA analogy. This is the equivalent of having a tie game at the end of regulation in game 7 of the Finals and giving the championship to the team that had an individual player with the most points scored. Rather than going into overtime until a team comes out on top.
