The underlined part actually sounds a bit selfish, but you're right, I think you all handled well with this little situation. I myself didn't post anything about it as I already saw the post before it was removed and had a talk with zelda ingame.
About the debate event, you said you would keep it down for a while now, but, how should you be able to judge. None of the teams will give up as there's something to win. And voting would be all oppinions and favoratism, which isn't always fair.
Well call me if you need any sort of robotic advise, my prize set will be organic tho.
Here's a little something that could help you out.
WIP of Alteration's set
Concerning Link's SandI section improvement proposition: Flamesmash seems to care about the SandI section, maybe we could get [WAPOW] behind this idea/movement/whateverthefuck through our clan alliance and Flame's desire for a more successful discussion forum. Our allies would probably support it anyway regardless of their member's affiliation with that part of the section, but every little helps right? I feel like the most effective way to achieve this is to try and spread the general consensus that the SandI section needs a rethink among as large a proportion of the community as possible. It is about influence.
Maybe I am over-romanticising the power of communities working together compared to that of single leaders of the community just pulling strings.
Link is it ok if for the most part I just quote your explanation of the plan? I doubt I could do better
