Wow this thread took of while i was at work :icon_eek:
[th]I guess the main reason for the inital poster was to add his own or a friend's ingame account, because he missed #1 - and his "more actual updates" of the list (once every 24 hours seems to be too late for some people). Yet I see a lot of people above 1k ODA for some hours in the rankings now. Where are they in the list? Who knows, which one was third? Will the third one be forgotten now? I see a lot of potential for useless discussion about who deserves the "bronze milestone".
Then again, we should probably make completely different lists with three rankings. Who was fastest to get 1k ODA after starting? This could be an aggressive rim-side player, which started 2 weeks late. He may have gotten his 1k ODA 1 day faster than the one in the milestones, who started in the first hour of the world and so on and so on...

First of all my main reason as i mailed you was because mods are usually slow to update the milestone
secondly it was because of your dismissal of the 2nd and 3rd achievements, as not being of any merit. This is a game of thousands of people ( don't know the exact count) and as such 2nd and 3rd seem valid achievements. On .net world 2nd and 3rd are still valid, thou not as first. Yet a few have come to the decisions that, they are not of any merit and therefore should not be added at all. Doesn't seem very democratic now, does it. After all, it a milestone for the players that play this world. 2nd and 3rd are valid rankings from sports to video games to even class ranks, why should this be any different? This is just a game after all :icon_confused:
and please stop using the slippery sloap argument of why not 4th or 5th or even the 1000th one. It is just a bad way to argue. It is widely accepted that 1st 2nd and 3rd ranking are the valid ones almost everywhere. Does it dilute the first ranking in anyway if the 2nd and 3rd are added? Not at all, as the first one that achieved it would always be first. I don't see gold medalist complaining in Olympics that it isnt fair the other person got silver! Loosen up, its just a game!
and i dont get your point about where are the 24 hour updates? As this thread was just started today and i do have work and other stuff in my life. I stated that i would update it semi daily. the 3rd one could have been easily missed as the first one as people are getting them with in a short range. I do believe it was noob that got it, if i am not mistaken. I am sure people would make a post about it if and when there is a 2nd and 3rd ranking and who got it.
Now since people are having a discussion on this thread, I see that I am not the only one that wants to add 2nd and 3rd to the milestone. Now all I ask is that you hear the people out instead of dimissing their points, maybe have a vote on whether or not 2nd and 3rd should be added and not be such a unanimous decision.
Thank you,
