Alright, there seems to be some sort of a controversy/misconception about when ''lock'' occurs for the lvl 200 boss. I have not been able to be on much recently, but today I managed to be present to kill the lvl 200 5*. I was informed that it had been decided that the lvl 200 boss ''locks'' at the ''start''. (Now it was not clarified if the '''start'' is when the first person attacks or if it is when everyone is set up and the tank is ready.) At the fight there were about 30% people who claimed that the lock at start rule was only for the 200 6* (not the 5*), 30% who claimed that both the 5* and the 6* were locked at start, and 40% who had no idea that the boss was ''supposed to" be locked at the start or once it has been locked. We talked it over and out of the 30 or so? people that were there, only a couple seemed to have been involved in any earlier discussion about when lock occurs, and they seemed to think that no such decision had been reached. Some had heard about the ''new rule'' from other people, but it could not be traced back to any vote taken on the forums or any other formal decision making process. As has always been our custom on Lugh, a decision about boss drop distribution, strategy, or lock is determined by a formal proposal of a sort on the forums and a vote. Unless a formal proposal to change the lock time from when the boss is locked to some other time is posted and people vote to change the lock; it remains unchanged.

Almost every single person at the fight I mentioned said that if a vote were to be taken they would be in favor of the 200 event boss to "Lock At Lock" just as every other event boss has in the past. If a vote is taken I am certain that I will vote to lock the boss at lock. I would also point out that when bosses are locked at "start" people (Unfortunately, people are often motivated by greed.) tend to rush to start the boss. This often causes a fight to be more costly or to be drawn out longer because the appropriate preparations were not taken.

I really do not think that this is an issue that needs to be voted on, and I am somewhat mystified as to how it became an issue in the first place. However, the dicing rules for the lvl 200 event boss is an issue that we need to come to a consensus on. There have been several options mentioned and it would be nice if someone would organize the different proposals into a single topic for convenient voting as has been done in the past.

I have always liked that Lugh is not dominated by a single clan or divided by issues between clans. The opportunity to freely attend boss fights (assuming eligibility) and to have fun without fear of griefing or etc. have always been an important part of our server. I really hope that we can keep it that way. I truly hope that none of us will let ourselves be motivated by greed or jealousy.
