If there's a camel up a hill

like I'm sure I just went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond the boundaries of good taste. (Again, check the original, check out solid/manny's website. He's an artist, he's cool and since I just violated a masterpiece I am going to direct attention to his actual art as much as possible.)

This is good.

Someone make sure to steal the trophy

moar handsomer than spammah

oh hey what's all this here then

party and party yeah

Fuckin nerd

Galaxy actually disbanded. They might reform if there was something to play for though, maybe.

I'll never understand bindspam. But those that are clearly using it to be cruel should always be dealt with by rules.

If you aren't blocked on the forums, use the PM feature.

mm. If people are really keen about that I'm sure it'd be possible to get a similar situation to the last "oceanic" tf2tv cast with Fairysar/No Mercy.

Normally I'd say this kind of thing would be best handled in private, but I don't think anyone can deny there should also be a topic open to discuss servers for the community. Stable servers go alongside stable teams and admins. Goddamnit, this thread didn't go anywhere. Stayed on this issue which sounds like a failed cause from the start anyway.

Sandvich and paintrain is the only unlocks I'd insist on adding. Utilities being run to deal with uber disadvantage is the correct way to play the game, rest are fine. Paintrain is also hardly a gamebreaker and some demomen like to run it to be cool. Let them be cool imo. A big list of items allowed and disallowed would be something to work towards though.

We aren't within miles of the limit yet. But if that's how you want this to go down, I can't stop the spectacle. (because internet tough guys don't need to care about how much other people enjoy this game when they slam those for trying to improve it hArHaRHArhaRHaR)

we homies

I am the upgraded spammah, (only heterosexual), fuckin get at me

Doubt there's an easy answer to that one. Maybe working backwards is the right idea? Thinking about why teams disbanded in the previous, how it can be avoided in the future. The idea that Masterful have of a small core and regular games against regular opponents is probably the right place to start ~.

You have to do those things you couldn't though. This isn't a rebadging experiment in a marketing class, after all. The reason your community is going down lower and faster than Monica Lewinsky on the Commander In Chief is primarily because of those reasons. What the community has to do is confront it, have teams that last more than one season, or take two pints of concrete and accept when ten or more players is necessary to ensure a team can be competitive for one season (BUT IT DIES AFTER LOL OFFCLASSING IS SO GUD xDDDDD ADMINS ARE SHIT), then anyone who cites the admins as the biggest issue are being master class fucking hypocrites to get shitty at people who match your commitment levels. The admins are as much a reflection of the community as anyone or anything else. Teams have to last. Trolling and shit-talking beyond a certain threshold needs to stop (Australian, Singaporean, whatever) needs to stop. There needs to be a clear consistent line of behaviour from both admins and community teams about server and dating, not just slagging one team off and screwing them with the dates because X is a faggot who shit-talked your mother in some six month old pug nobody gives a fuck about. You try and make it easier for everyone, playing on their shitty servers from time to time. Everyone's guilty of a little bit of all of this. You have to look at this from a counterpoint in the middle rather than as an administrator or a player. It's silly to ask of administrators a commitment level that's well above the average player when it comes to certain aspects. I know there's been massive shitfests over racism, server issues and scheduling. I also noticed a general level of expectation by a lot of people that the admins had to "come together" and solve that issue. But what exactly did the disparate scenes, player-groups and circle-jerks do while this all went down? Teams leaving solves the issue (in one way), but also damages/destroys it in another - and given the number of people complaining about the lack of genuine lasting leagues with mass appeal ... maybe, just maybe, teams leaving in protest/disbanding was not the right idea? Tell you what, I didn't see any public protest or open appeal to reason when that kind of thing went down. Yes, there is a communication gap; but you need to overcome that, not make it another excuse on the notch of reasons to leave. So much of getting an administrator to give a damn (believe me, I have been one for multiple games) is attitude. You can't claim genuine discussion while everyone's taking a knife to everyone elses's back or hating on admins for past cruelties. Put eight teams in division one and eight teams in division two with solid lineups who do not disband afterwards, and you should find a lasting admin team that cares.

That kind of commitment requires an equal and opposite pushback of support from the community though. I can't be the only one sick and fucking tired of one side/either side saying the other doesn't give a shit and they need to see results before they come aboard. Newsflash. All sides equally to blame for the mess this website/league/whatever, front players who refuse to budge on server issues to inconsistent administration to racism that needed to _STEP_THE_FUCK_DOWN_ aeons ago. Community and Institutions have both royally dropped the ball and there's far too much of an attitude that one faction "owes" another before some kind of yappy sugar-encrusted homosexual spammah-incited rubdown of mutual understanding occurs. When you have a community built on casual pugs, teams that don't last two seasons and cannot maintain any kind of stable "roster", communication issues that need to be solved both by the staff here and by communities amongst themselves and all of the trolling, you get what you deserve. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's funny how teams want to be treated with a little more professionalism and respect yet need to pack a roster with 9+ players for some attempt of "stability" and "organisation", yet so often those rosters continually remake with the same players or players of similar attitude. The cycle repeats again and again (admins don't care, admins that do get swamped, admins cannot be around to deal with a real shitfest, all the while the playerbase exacerbates the issue) and as it repeats more and more people care less and less.

can't wait for this joke to be fucked like a gardevoir in a bad pokephiliac fanfiction on /b/ from all ends to the point it's dead in a week wait
