Out of character thread XIX

[FactionHeir]

Meh, didn't use the placeholder afterall:

Anyway, three things that should be considered before making a hasty decision:

1. The OOC CA econ wrote and linked to in the old OOC thread yesterday is vaguely worded as he suggests.

OOC Charter Amendment:
(a) Where there are multiple player controlled generals in a stack, then the player who plays out the battle is determined by who the computer designates is in command.
(b) An exception is that Household Armies (and the Army of Outremer) are always commanded by the designated Commander of said army.
(c) The commanding general may allow another player to fight a battle by mutual consent for OOC reasons.

As you can see, both points b and c could apply to this situation.


2. Whether Warluster can be subbed for depends on how long he wont be able to fight battles. If it is above the limit set (3 weeks), then anyone designated by him should and will be able to play his battles.


3. By precedent, players who had not been away for extended periods of time nor were otherwise eligible to be subbed for have been subbed for by other players not in their stack. This means that not allowing it in this (more legitimate case) we are disadvantaging Warluster. All of this happened after the CA regarding proxying has been passed AND outside the cataclysm period. Post battle results have always been accepted as well even when the issue was pointed out to econ.

Therefore, I would say subbing should be allowed for this particular case.
