    I don't know if there's an award for bringing down a vibe, but you just earned it.

    It is the point yes. This "celebration" is to me a parody of community involvement.
    Nothing wrong with facebook level type of daily chatter, it's not like most discord / reddit messages are more profound either, but putting it on a pediestal is just baffling to me, sorry if that offends you. I'll give you the like ratio is not a perfect system, but it's far from unsignificant too.

    Then again, I'm not saying anyone that got it didn't deserve it, I'm saying it's missing obvious names like Daiches or Droogie that do deserve it way more.

    I've never heard either of those names. Do they post on the forum?

    Edit: looks like Daiches is banned and hasn't posted anything here since 2018, and there's nobody by the name of Droogie registered. Why would they give a forum award to someone who doesn't post on the forum?

    Looping back to the point : why use their platform with the least traffic (albeit boosted by links to new characters / boss events) and an unusable search function as a metric.

    They are discord users, that would be the issue as this isn't discord.
    Maybe @s0kun can run something similar for you guys over there?.
    Probably get a flag for this but you are a bit like a bloke who walks into your house on Christmas day and p****s on your kids

    That makes sense, and I can see why they'd be upset -- it's always bothered me that despite my incredible contributions to this forum, I've never even been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress in a musical comedy.

    Things are crazy
    Just read Sydney sweeney has been cast as Hagrid for the Harry Potter TV show.

    I'll never understand people that feel the need to bring others down. Saying "congrats" followed by why you think they don't deserve it brings the tone down. Feel free to blast me if you'd like. But make a new thread for it so this thread can stay positive, please.

    Congrats, but let me just buy these stones. Clearly biases are being shown here.

    I can't see why the infinity stones can't be put up for sale.
    To be honest they aren't incredibly powerful but yes I can understand that it could be an option.
    Biases is something you'll have to sell me on. If this was run on discord or line or whatever else there is some people would benefit others would not.
    Everyone needs to pump the brakes a little here, I can understand fomo but my god man we are on the brink of world war 3.

    Many thanks for the mention, and big congrats to everyone else in both lists.

    Appreciate the mention! Also appreciate the many frequent contributors on Discord and Reddit that are not mentioned here. The MPQ community is what elevates this game far beyond its peers. Glad to be part of it!

    Congrats to the winners, althought it feels to me like the spam awards. Every single winner got a 0.2 to 0.8 like per post ratio so we're clearly not aiming for consistent quality.

    Not speaking for my own case because I know I'm probably too explosive, but recognition for blend posts over some people constructive criticism / spreadsheets built for the community just feels bad.

    I'll also take that occasion to add no one uses this forum for info because your search function is so, so bad you can't even properly search for what you want. If I search "shards" it's gonna include people post saying "hard". If I try to copy paste [BOSS EVENT] to try and find the history of all bosses, it'll skip some at random, etc. It's unusable

    I don't know if there's an award for bringing down a vibe, but you just earned it.

    Congratulations.

    Seriously, take a look at whatever is inside you that's upsetting you. It's a forum, not an all encompassing database claiming to provide every answer at the click of a button. No offense to those "just dropping in" but someone with limited participation researching (or guessing) 'like' ratios so you can insult both the givers and receivers of a gift is cringe inducing. Continuing to insult the forum as a whole is just silly.

    You have my sword

    Don't know about Droogie, but taking a quick peek in game it looks like Daiches already has all the stones (and most every other support) at 5 star rank.

    Are you really upset that a guy who didn't contribute to these forums didn't win a forum award that he absolutely doesn't need? It's like getting up in arms because billionaire Jeff Bezos didn't win the $100 church raffle prize at the church Jeff Bezos doesn't attend.

    Yeah, I almost directly quoted, but then I thought "shield" was more appropriate given the insult of whatever his name is was directed more at you than me.

    Thank you @DAZ0273, but I'd never belong to a club that had me as one of its members.
