I find it extremely funny that Dragon has said he agreed with me, and then says something like that behind my back.
Once again, what I said =/= whining or complaining
what I said = pointing out what A LOT of people feel, but no one is saying
that the BA council is biased.
We actually GOT somewhere when Nikuvillian agreed that a big factor in grading is the amount of time you've been on this site, and how well known your character is, this takes away from what the grading SHOULD be about, one's skill as a writer.
But for every step forward we take in this group, evidently we must take five steps back, because so many are here for the sake of their own egos and try to sound witty and berate and step on others in the process.
If we could find away to remove a good majority of these kind of people that think that blight makes right, this place would be much more pleasant. This is so counterproductive it actually hurts my brain with a few exceptions, to talk with you people.
Please stop being immature, and let's actually have a decent conversation. Alternatively stay out of this conversation, and let the grownups talk.

Could you please provide me with evidence for all those who feel this way? As far as I'm concerned, you are the only one who is expressing this opinion. If others felt as strongly as you do, they would make their opinions known. We are an open community. I think the majority of the BA would stand by me in saying that the Council is very approachable and open to conversation.
And as for being grownups, please don't insult me or the Council like that. As a college student myself, I would consider myself an adult, and a very capable one. Don't insult members of this community just because they differ from you on this issue. Being an adult has almost nothing to do with it, and your disdainful criticisms do not reflect to me a mature attitude. You'll notice than many of those who are attacking your views lost their battles as well. The point of the BA and this tournament is to have fun and you're ruining it by being a sore loser. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this tournament is
not based primarily on strict writing ability or length. Creativity is weighted more than technical writing. And again, I'll reiterate, I personally took a LONG time on YOUR battle because ALL four of you did a superb job. You are right, you are not a bad writer. The tournament is not meant to be a contest to see who is a better writer necessarily. It is about having friendly competition between BAers, creating community as a BA, and exercising one's God-given talents in the areas of creative writing.
I'll thank you to remember that, and stop attacking this establishment. If you can't lose graciously, I may have to ask you to leave.
