@b4nny are you actually gonna play your matches this time

Of course, I always try to get my matches played. Unfortunately during NR6s S2 our opponent (head 6s admin at the time, daffodil) refused to schedule the matches despite my repeated attempts, and the NR6s admin (you) made 0 effort to communicate or coordinate with me, so the games never ended up happening. I’ve already explained this multiple times to you in the RGL discord, yet here you are yet again for some reason still trying to stir up drama in public. Do you even actually care about the success of the NR6s format? If so, then don’t worry about whether I play my matches, just worry about your own participation in the event.

Thankfully, the organizers responsible for this new upcoming NR6s event have learned from the missteps of NR6s S2 and it’s looking to be very positive event. I’m sure it won’t be perfect either, but they’re on the right track so far given that they’ve improved the format (better maps and a 1 day format) and their communication (multiple announcements, and keeping me - one of the most vocal NR6s supporters - in the loop) which should greatly benefit the event’s chances of success. One of the main points of NR6s is to leave your biases and theories behind so that innovative and fresh tactics can prevail, let’s all focus on doing that.

Understood. Next time I will also rent a server for you and exec the proper config and send connect your both teams individually. Fuck it. I’ll come to ur house, turn ur PC, launch tf2, and copy paste the connect in console myself too. I’ll do you one better. I’ll even play ur match for you. Don’t even lift a finger b4nny, the admins will do everything for you.

Admins aren’t ur babysitters and they certainly shouldn’t have to ask you to do the one thing you signed up to fucking do. I dropped it in the staff discord because I still had to have some sort of semi-professionalism with you. Now that’s changed. I told daffodil to work it out. He was an NR6s admin. I also had the rest of the NR6s divisions to run with only a few other admins. Being a staff member is already hard enough, it’s ridiculous that you can’t even have the decency to do the one thing you signed up to do during the season.

No, I don’t care anymore about the results of NR6s. You are one of the reasons why. You jerk the format off yet refused to actually play it. I wouldn’t give a shit if you didn’t play because you thought the gamemode was dogshit. “one of the most vocal NR6s supporters” my left nut. Back up your words with fucking actions like actually playing your damn matches and then talk. “b-bu-but I played s1!” yea when there was money being pumped into it and it was something new and exciting that rgl marketed as a tf2 saver cause the results were being sent to valve. Where’d you go when the money wasn’t so big and the dude running it was only given the position because RGL forgot they had nobody to run the format a month before it needed to open.

Season 2 showed me that NR6s is a fundamentally flawed gamemode for league practice because it is more fun to troll and run stupid team compositions for lower divisions, and the higher divs couldn’t be assed to play or even play seriously because they are invested in other more structured and serious gamemodes. Even as just a cup teams would rather just form between friends and have a good time by dicking around.

I already gave the organizers all of my data from the s2 survey (thankfully I had so much data from my invite players to share!) and told them exactly what I’m telling you. NR6s is a failure, and it doesn’t matter how much you push the “innovate with new and fresh tactics!” nobody is going to fucking do it and your cup isn’t going to yield shit.

And cut the chevalier “holier than thou” attitude too. 95% of the rgl staff already hate your guts for how you act and the remaining 5% are just your yes men to anything you say.

@Mothership experienced players know that the faceit number is not a proper indicator of skill just like most people know hours are also not a proper indicator of skill. Most solo queue-oriented matchmaking ranks are an extremely poor indicator of skill.

However, many people (especially in lower divisions) are not experienced and will use faceit numbers as an indicator.

Moving them away from the usernames is a good start, if the goal is to have it visible at all on rgl, but as long as it’s there, it is a problem.

Don’t know what DCMC is doing entirely but want to explore options
Kinda wanna play spy in invite again (mid-high invite only)
Wouldn’t mind playing scout, med, sniper, pyro, or engie in invite.
Prefer to not play challenger, but I’ll try anything that’s not spy or engie.

Achievement list:
Lost a match and a playoffs spot to the impostors
Went 7-0 regular season just to go 0-2 in playoffs
5x best engie in challenger according to bonesaw’s tftv article
The Watcher

Open to subbing in invite, can play any class

“I fucking despise how smart you are” - catalyst

@b4nny are you actually gonna play your matches this time

blame the knife and not the ping
this stuff is consistent with big earner and it is why I call the big earner the “trickstab training wheels” knife
there is no “get better movement” like

@snaetos said in POV: a 120 ping spy has just backstabbed your teammate:

Its easy to throw off high ping spies with your movement, unfortunately your movement sucks and zoom knows how to circlestrafe.

snaetos wants to suggest to back up his steel spy brethren.

The big earner speed makes it so the spy has complete control over the situation and there is almost nothing u can do if he gets in range. Speed boost makes spy move fast enough to get into a backstab range regardless of whichever direction you turn to try and counter. It’s dogshit and is extremely unfun to play against unless you are a scout or a pyro with enough ammo to airblast.

you can see another example of this in the recent highlander cascade cast here

there’s another clip on the rgl channel from OWL vs PYP week 1 of S6 but I’m too lazy to dig through the rgl clips to find it but the same happens there.
found the clip here

i genuinely do not know how bliztank does as much as he does on soldier like it doesn’t add up
this is some k = k+1 kinda shit. Just beware his essays, for they make even alto shudder.

constantly on his king shit even when retired

I ALMOST FORGOT. I WILL NOT RAGEQUIT YOUR LAKESIDE MATCH MID GAME. PICK ME UP

good engineer. nice fella

witness mentored my steel team in ugc s21
now I’m handsome, buff, have a clean chinstrap, and all the men and women love me.

This is an opportunity you do not want to miss.

I’m excited to see another TF2 LAN, but I urge everyone traveling to really consider the risks of covid, especially with the new variant coming around.

Watch the numbers carefully before you decide to signup or not.

Bran and I won advanced in s2 (when advanced was still “good”), and god I love playing with her. Such a great person to have in a team environment, and any invite team looking for a solid supporting heavy needs to heavily consider bran over anyone else.

@mcm I see yall need a heavy hook her up hook her up

@Pain-Seer RGL surveys can be filtered to have results shown from only specific divisions. I don’t believe the surveys themselves can be made division specific (although it might be possible) but filtering results is definitely something that can be done.

One point I will make is that a newcomer player can definitely have a bad experience with an admin of a higher division and should be able to share it through an rgl source. Div admins are responsible for their division, yes, but they are also responsible for their actions with the entire RGL playerbase.

@raeger said in BLUE99 lft (HEAVY ONLY):

also if witness chooses to respond to this its important to state that witness has been my bitch throughout his entire rgl career and to this date is the only player to have a negative record against me fun fact.

The blue99 redemption arch will begin very shortly,

You failed before you even began

@ethan said in Changing how we rate admins in surveys:

man i do not want to click through 999 “i did not talk to this admin” answers just to submit feedback on one or two

also this enables bad actors to witchhunt admins they dislike on a personal level as opposed to an “administrative capability” level

i think you are right in that we should have more power in reviewing admins as players and not just allowing rgl (the admins) to review each other but this issue should be handled with care or else it will not be solved!

rgl surveys can have the questions be optional so you would only have to skip through pages as opposed to marking every question. Alternatively, you can separate the surveys into 1 for specifically gamemode related questions and 1 for staff-related questions.

People are going to witch hunt/relentlessly shit on staff members on tftv or in private discords anyway. At least if they do it on a survey then rgl will actually look at it and be able to look into if it is witch-hunting or actual concerns.

Survey after survey we get the same question regarding div admins

• 1: How would you rate your experiences with RGL division admins

• 2: How easy was it for you to get in contact with your division admin(s)?

• 3: Did you feel that your division admin generally made reasonable decisions?

How about instead of a general question to hit all admins we rate admins individually with the same amount of questions. Make it like a course evaluation. It doesn’t have to be a separate survey, just space it out. Don’t make the questions mandatory so the people who don’t care can skip it and the people who do have something to say (positive or negative) can say it through an official medium.

So now we’d have something like

• 1: How would you rate your experiences with [RGL Admin #1]?

• 2: How easy was it for you to get in contact with [RGL Admin #1]?

• 3: Did you feel that [RGL Admin #1] generally made reasonable decisions?

• 4: Do you have anything else to say regarding [RGL Admin #1]?

and so on and so forth for each admin/div moderator of that season.

Thoughts? Critiques? Concerns? Any discussion is good discussion.

i love this jemond guy. solid pickup for any mid invite team in s11
