Of course the mods are going to have the advantage in terms of maps / settings, as they get to pick them, we wouldn't want to make it easy for you You can't have a competition like this without people keeping the score though, especially when it's so close.
That all said, many mods did create multiplayer games (6 player assassins etc.) which they technically have a 1 in 6 chance of winning, so the community was of course going to get a lot of wins on those!

Ffraid wrote:denominator: Interesting argument. Almost had me. Man, Player Z really sucks . But the point is not how bad Player Z is. He gets to join multiple games in either scenario. The point, I think, is that you don't know whether Players B through W, who got to join games because players X and Y didn't get to snap up as many as they possibly could before anyone else even had a chance to play, fared any better, or worse, than Players X and Y would have, had they been allowed to continue playing. A point which is supported by the first Whac-A-Mod competition, where the same people joined multiple games and the mods still won. I just don't see any evidence that the mods are giving themselves any advantage by setting a rule that will allow more people the opportunity to play.

Ffraid wrote:Not to sound like a mod suck up, because I am not a forum frequenter and I don't know any of them any better than I know you, but I have to agree with Pander, and I would imagine that you do as well, that the main purpose would seem to be to give people a chance to play the mods, who probably don't usually play too many public games (and to win medals ).
Ffraid wrote:One question, when you say that "you are limiting who can play on one side of the battle," are you talking about the mods' side? Because there are a limited number of mods, but the rule discouraging people from playing in too many games would seem to be an attempt to not limit who all is playing for the community.

Clearly, you were recruited for your diplomatic skills.

Not true! It was also for the eye candy. My recruitment was probly JUST eye candy. After all, I am farming nothing but rocks at the moment lol!

Well, I did consider adding an intimation that she may possess skills other than merely diplomatic, but I wasn't sure whether amazzony would appreciate that sort of comment from another woman. I'm sure you're both very... talented.

The Sportsmanship Rule
As there are only a limited number of moderators and a rather large number of public members, we are asking that everyone be courteous and play in only one game at a time. If you want to join game after game, that is fine, but please do not join multiple games at once in order to keep spots available to as many people as possible. Once you successfully whac a moderator, we ask that you step away and let others have their chance at getting a medal, so as to give as many people as possible the opportunity. If you are found to be hogging game slots you may be in danger of not receiving a medal at the end of the competition. All of the moderators will be trying to play as many games as they can manage during the time of competition to give as many people a shot as possible.
