Damn. I stopped at 420 for the Joke Rank. But had I known that 500 would have given a better badge I would have tried for 666 instead :/

Wow, NLR had over 350 more players and we Solarites still managed to maintain a semblance of competitiveness.Holy crap, I was a Top 100 player? Dang, to think I only really participated for about 20 hours.
And I feel a bit silly being one of the 35 Top 100 players for the Solar Empire.… What am I doing with my life?.
.Top-25 most replied topics: “You’re Banned!” With 235. Oh my. War criminals.
The more worth y’all from the SE had, pushing harder than us then per capita

I could make an exception for you and anyone else who stopped at 420 due to the belief that joke ranks earn special badges, which would be 9 of the following users:

I honestly think having switching at all was what ended up creating the disparity. People seemed more likely to switch to the NLR, and I feel like people that switched were probably more likely to be active. Something something consequences of having a “Luna” side.
But if we didn’t had an ability to swith the team some of us may felt frustrated and/or sad because of participating in a team they don’t want to participate. I was on SE side when i just logged in. Then I looked back at my several Luna’s plushies, figurines, pinbadges, posters, pendants etc etc and at my single hand-maded pyrography Daybreaker portrait, and thouhgt “Uhh… Should I participate?”.
But actually after some time of thinking, when I’ve asked for team switch, I said that I don’t mind to stick up with SE and participate on this side. And I’ve been switched anyway. That’s sounds ironically at this point, but thanks to Celestia in all the ways it means x)

We really did hit do pretty impressively considering the odds. We even overtook them a couple times

I sadly didn’t care about the game too much since I have had a lot on my mind. But I still had some fun. And most importantly how others did too!😊
So great work everyone, sun or moon. Gloat in your victory Luna.

You were a worthy opponent.

We can jeer at how much time we have to waste upon ourselves simply because of an image hosting site about ponies.
I felt 14 again for the duration of the event.

I get you, had I’ve been assigned and stuck to the SE, I’d have gone with my life without participating with a single comment to this event. I think being able to switch was primordial

Sadly there isn’t an obvious good solution. The balancing that was in the initial post (particularly having the losing side get a points bonus) helps, but allowing switching seems to have more users go to Luna, as expected, which gives a pretty big advantage while not allowing it might cause some frustration.

Unfortunately, 69 is way too far away from the 500 point threshold for the special badge. The only reason I’m making an exception for 420 is because it’s quite close to 500.

It’s weird that site has over three hundreds more active users with odd-ID that with even-ID.
Wew, I’m at 14th position with 2.5% participation to my team points, and 1.3% to total points. It was fun.

Well, I’ve known that only after I’ve posted the first comment, so i’ve participated on SE side without my consent anyway.
But I don’t mind, actually! And despite I like Princess Luna much more (I’m sorry, Princess Celestia!) I’ve considered that if I’d stuck in SE team, well, I’ll participate anyway. It was not a real fight but just a game, was it not? And that thought was an little inspiration for me to draw a pic I’ve uploaded then.

True. But I wasn’t invested in this site and it’s denizens as I became during the event itself, so it would have been easy for me to not participate (and I’m sure I’m not the only one like this)

But swithing was an option only on the first day, is it not?
But yes, that’s a difficult task to please everyponycreature. And impossible perhaps, since it was an “confrontation” but cooperative.
