The Golden Katana !

[GM]Saidin wrote: »

We realized that although we want to give prizes to people that participated, we had to go by our rules set out from the original. Which was 10 Clan matches on the clan server. It was never stipulated in the original rules that it had to be ghost mode.

That being said, there are less than 30 people that currently have the Golden Katana. It should also be noted they are all in your clan!

And we very well may be using this or other weapons as prizes for future tournaments, events etc. So take the exclusivity while it lasted.

If you are referring specifically to RTO, he fell into the correct pool mathematically and received a katana, but it was removed after a double-check was performed.

And it does say this in the rules.

Players must play a minimum of 10 GM games on the clan server in the month of March to qualify themselves to win the main prizes listed below.

Uh?

TGO told me it blows..

Yup, its the same as the regular katana IMO.

BUT ITS FREAKING GOLD THOUGH =.=

A full gold bag is possible now D':

Here is how it looks in-game:



It seems to has faster left-click slash but same right-click attack speed.

They are not going to take them all back after that Hezzi. Just let it be.

They might, we just want it to be fair. And I just reposted the rules cause Saidin was referring to them.

I might be wrong, but this katana seems to do 100 damage to the head with a slash.

I need someone to test it out.
EDIT: nvm, it doesnt.

Mkay, let's clear this up. Saidin, this situation is clearly not just affiliated with RTO, as:

And others that I may not be aware of also have obtained it.

You said that you did a double check and it was "removed", yet it seems that RTO still has his Katana. Is it simply a matter of time? Or will these randomly attained items be kept by these people?

It just gives me an icky feeling.

Were they in OldLegends at one point or another (in the MOTG2 time frame to be precise) or are they just random people who get the prize due to poor system?

I've seen more people that aren't in the clan have the katanas as well, including people that were just in the clan for a few days near the start of March.

Also it's annoying that they're now stating they will use the katana for future prizes, in the original thread it said:

"Compete on the Clan Server throughout the month of march in Ghost Mode games and fight for an exclusive can't-be-bought Permanent Gold Katana!"

Last time I checked exclusive meant you can only get it in this one place, but here they go changing the rules again.

My guess is that although they may use it as prize for future event, it won't be handed it as permanent item, only temp.

As for how other people who aren't in OL and still get the Gold Katana, well Saidin better double check how the database operates.

theres a screen of GodsGunman's page with the Golden Katana on it.
Looks like a cheese knife lmao I wonder if they will actually ever use them?
Most pro GM players shy away from the katana. I guess its just nice to have it in your storage.

Gold Katana is a nice weapon, even tho i would have just won it for the looks in inv or to play around with. Congrats to GodGunman from OL.

They better be taken away.. from at least those who aren't even in the clan.

I mean, even the bulk of our clan that did get it didn't really earn it, so.

Yes, and what happened to exclusive

To be honest you guys don't even deserve it, not hating on OldLegends at all but based on the win % that was bull from the beginning. I don't see how in the world you guys won the Gold Katana but congrats, i still think it should have went to the highest wins with best %...

In my eyes Pantherz won.

Look at it o_o..

1st) 31-0-0 = OldLegends
6th) 147-3-3 = Pan[TH]erS
7th) 167-5-12 = eVent.
8th) 159-4-15 = Stalkers™
9th) 164-6-14 = Bane.

-Just my thought. Maybe future events/tourneys will be changed.
Congrats tho.

I'm going to close this off.

Frankly we feel as if we should be having another event and awarding some Gold Katanas as prizes.

I think that we will likely have this as a prize and there will be more accounts with this.

We'll look at the rosters again for this. But if OldLegends is going to make a stink about people who have Gold Katanas for the sake of it, then we'll be happy to award this prize to people in other clans to make it more common.


We should also say that based on our Original Rules, the proper people have the Katana. Nothing was made officially of people who left the clan after.

And since the Clan Leader was the one who mainly participated in the tournament, if the Clan Leader was more concerned about who has the Gold Katana, then maybe the Clan Leader should have kept better track of who they are allowing to join the clan.
