Admins seem to find pleasure in giving US hats

No, admins seem to find pleasure in giving the team that wins the GST hats.

So what?

US got a hat for most GSTs won in the year 2011. Next year, maybe the next big upcoming guild will have a shot at it!

that's like saying lets give the Lakers another trophy for winning the most championships in the last 10 years.

I honestly dont care, just adding some perspective.

Not at all

The post wasnt supposed to sound mean and angry  

I think more than anything, it'll increase guild loyalty. I'm tired of seeing people put together superguilds with the best they can find, even if they hardly know each other. I'm tired of being asked "do u have a gst guild?" because you aren't a true member of your main guild if you ditch it to help another guild so you can win. US members stuck to the guild and didn't change guilds every month. Maybe practicing with the same team for months is a factor of success?

Also, US had no chance in the October GST since 3nVy hacked 8 members to the guild spar. It was pretty pathetic..

I disagree with you completely. The guild i'm loyal to, Magic, doesn't do the GST, so your saying it's not right if i join a guild with some friends? Sorry, i'm not trying to twist your words, i'm just giving you examples of why that mindset may not work for every situation . Anyway, i don't recall hearing anything about the guild with the most wins getting a hat... if i'm not mistaken, US is filled with a lot of old Graal players who are known quite well, i can assure you it has something to do with that, i don't care how you justify it haha...

Well, maybe that's what you should expect to hear coming from a GST thread in the first place! I spoke my opinion on sparring guilds, I didn't say its illegal for you to join more than one guild if that's what you choose.

On a side note, US may be filled with more experienced players, but experience is something anyone can learn. Mostly, the crew has been practicing guild spar with the same people for years. You tend to learn each others moves and tendencies. I know this from helping random people in guild spars. I find it much tougher to spar with people I don't know well.

Oh, that's not exactly what i meant. I know US is filled with good sparrers and that they practice together, but my point was i didn't know they gave a hat to the team with the most wins. It seems odd that people who win a lot of hats, win a hat, because they have won a lot of hats. I just think it may have something to do with who they know, not what they've done. But who knows, that's just how it looks to me.

I didn't know you could "learn experience"

experience isnt taught

It seems odd that people who win a lot of hats, win a hat, because they have won a lot of hats.

It seems odd that sports teams that win a lot of championships, win a championship, because you have won a lot of championships. Until a better team comes along and takes down the champions, there is nobody to beat the champs. So naturally, they will win.

You know what I mean when I say that, don't act stupid to try to look smart. Obviously everybody gains experience. Perhaps you mock because I used the word learn instead of gain? Think before you make a post just for the sake of posting for an edge in an argument.

You just worded that in your favour so my comment looks dumb . I'm not saying they didn't win the most, i'm saying hat's are a reward for winning, so why would they get a reward for winning the most rewards? Lol

Also, sports teams do not win championships for winning the most championships. That literally doesn't make sense.  

For more competition. Sure, a certain guild was best one time. But how often or for how long were they the best? ;]

I think you just realized that your own statement didn't make sense in the first place! I'm all confused now. X_x

No, a hat is a reward, not a sport. With this newly bestowed knowledge, read all my comments again.

A hat is a reward, a GST is an event.

A trophy is a reward, a championship is an event.
