View Full Version : Poll: Appropriate punishment for Amazon for extended outage
Which of the following options do you feel is the best punishment for Amazon for their failed "cloud" service?
* Discounted service for affected clients (you know, the likely and boring option)
* Seppuku
* 40 "hail Steve Jobs"
* Stocks and pillories
* Being forced to stand on a street corner in downtown Seattle with a sign around it's neck reading "I failed Distributed Systems 101"
* Force the responsible party (or parties) to create PL account(s) and take on all comers in PvP
* Other (specify in a comment)
Note: please realize this is intended to be humorous. I'm sure Amazon will compensate their customers for the downtime in an appropriate way.

*Other because it is not that bad. Amazon has been very good to pocket legends and the server has been up for a very long time. The part that bothers me is the fact that STS is getting blamed for everything. If you check the iTunes store everyone is leaving bad comments because the game wont connect. I tried to refer them here, but iTunes has yet to post my comment. I just hope that Amazon is having just as much of a headache as everyone else who is dealing with these problems.

*Other - as I pointed out in the Announcement thread, we get Amazon to pony up PL accounts for any/all responsible parties and we take this to PvP.
Free Amazon Prime for a year. I do love Amazon

Methinks it's time for me to get off the forums for a bit if I'm refreshing it *that* much. :) Back to Diablo!

I'm gonna go with the unobvious choice of Seppuku, for to know the way of the Samurai, you must never back down, even if you are in the matrix.

Pvp. Ill restart azulflame just for this purpose, once they get accounts. Lvl 15 twinkling against their lvl 5 mate. This should be funny. Birds own mates in pvp until 30, then start again around 45-50. Idk about 51-56.

*other: The ones whose fault this is are being transferred to Finland. Daily fights against polar bears will teach them not to make mistakes like that.

*other: build huge skyrocket, put in all people that ever worked and still work for Amazon (and their families), shoot it into the Sun.

I'd vote for that. If they put it on YouTube.
