Of course not Gooda. It makes no sense. It'd be like saying just because a guard is replaced on a 5 man basketball team. Then all his points don't count. It doesn't work that way in life. In sports. Or in business. A person's contributions are ALWAYS counted.
I could not find a single rule that states if a man is replaced halfway his points don't count. In order to enforce a rule. You have to have it to begin with.

This has nothing to do with how basketball is scored.

Monthly calculations and in that time frame the rules state no more than 4 members.
Again IMHO unofficially!

Relax, this will get sorted out

Yea, that is the common sense opinion I have always had, 4 team members with 8 cores total counted for the month, no matter how many cores went through your teams ranks only a total of 8 can be counted.

But who am I but a mere peon

I understand your point here.

I'll try to chime some more light on why I think it is this way. There should obviously be exceptions to this "unwritten" agreement. For instance if Folder A is being replaced with Folder B in the middle of the month and Folder B has not yet submitted a single WU for that month then Folder A's points should not be omitted in the daly at the end of the month.

I believe the main reason why it is this way is to ensure that if Folder B has been folding "Team-less" throughout the month and decides to join a Team then his points will replace those of Folder A which he is replacing. It wouldn't be fair to add on Folder B's points to Folder A's point count before leaving the team. Please keep in mind that Folder B has to have been folding with respect to the competition rules during the month in question for his points to be valid.

Taeric has ONE main rule. You cannot fold on more than 2 cores. And that is enforceable. Can anybody show me a single example in team competitions where a contributors points are simply nulled out just because he is replaced? Hockey. Basketball. Football. Anything?
If there was a rule that stated "if a person is replaced their points will be nulled out". That would be right and fair. But you can't just make up the rules as you go along.
If he cheats. That's one thing. But Johan folded fair and square.
I would say the same thing for any other team. You have a guy that folded half the month and his machine breaks down. His points still count. Of course they do.
Then you take the points from the replacement person from the time they took over.
This is the way it works all over the world. Every day. In all competitions. Just because a person breaks a leg. Doesn't mean their touchdowns don't count.
Unless their is a rule that states his points are null if he breaks down and gets replaced. I don't think you can just make one up.
When it happens to another team that 3/4 of the way through one person has a total mobo meltdown. His points still count. Of course. And then you add the points from the replacement from his last quarter's production.
Can anybody give me an example of a person's points not counting just because they were replaced? In any team competition?

We'll have to wait for Taeric to show up then

PS: you can fold on 3 cores. The rules are: 8 cores per team, and 3 cores per user is the limit (thus, you can have 1-2-2-3 for your team members).

Well there the FUN in FOLDING goes out the window.

Let's s-p-e-l-l e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g o-u-t n-o-w


I feel no point in folding for friendly team competition now. Better off by myself it seems, at least everybody in my mind agrees folding is fun just for the sake of folding.


But no seriously, I figured that you traded points pretty much, but I do get the way you are saying jade, just think it's kinda I don't know kiddish to be argueing about. The issue has been brought up and time for the judge to weigh in on the situation.

JadeMiner

Yeah. I agree totally with you. This is just common sense. A person has a massive breakdown. Their points still count. Of course they do. I can't imagine any other team that loses a folder to breakdown or whatever simply having all of that person's points taken away if he's replaced. Johan folded his little heart out. And his points should count.

I don't understand teams. Why would you want to limit the amount of cores someone can use? Don't we want as many as possible?
