Snip 

I can shed a little more light here. 

We were talking through with people for minor and major ops. We had several community ones planned and coming up before the motivation was lost so they never ended up coming to fruition.  It's not that we didn't have them, things just ended too soon.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I wanted to continue but we didn't have the motivation on one side and it'd be wrong to continue pushing when they wanted to surrender. 

As for the winner thing?

We generally didn't need to. If you were part of it, you'd have seen that both major ops were resounding Geladyne successes and we talked in ooc channels about the land changes regardless.

For full transparency, I wanted to do a LOT more minor op stuff especially sourced from the community. (We did get Turadis's event done though I guess that wasn't an OP). But, once Marci stopped doing stuff on the war front due to a hilarious amount of harassment without support from the GMs, getting responses from the Meiaquar side was difficult and the reason for a lot of delays. This isn't a slam on Satoshi mind, man is busy as fuck but having multiple days without response from Meia side did make things slower.

We also had literally no support from the GMs and staff for most of the time. Until a lot of people got out and talked when the new policies were enacted, we didn't get much at all. I could go into a lot of detail here but I don't know if it's worth it. I should say people shouldn't have to have mental breakdowns from the amount of OOC harassment they got (this was me, I had a breakdown) before the GMs intervene. That was the *real* war delay cause.

Miller is 100% right on the ban thing.
