Someone who understands how feedback topics should be made! It might also be noted that the efficacy of instating new rules might increase without aggressive subtext.

You don't get it do you? I was not agressive in my initial post. Even if it is percieved as agressive, that should not make it a reason to dismiss it. If it does, that means there is a bad leadership.

Making people laugh at the expense of volunteers' work is pretty despicable and is more on the side of douchebagery rather than light trolling.

I try to make people laugh at all expenses, even my own. If people can't handle that, then it is their problem. It's healthy to have some fun.

But of course lets first wipe out the significant psychological advantage of starting marines first via rule insertion instead of sportmanship in an amateur, NOT professional, league. (Sarcasm)

Even if it's an amateur league, the games are still serious. That is also part of the reason why it is relevant. If every player in the league did not have a prefered side to play, then it would not matter. But that is not the case.

Rumour had it Zefram was close to just quitting altogether after the ns2wc because of the amount of abuse he received and lack of faith in the community. The simple fact is, he is the best thing we have to run the league and he's doing a top job of it. Some mistakes are made in the eyes of the community and he's taken the time to correct some of them he deemed worthy of correcting and admit his mistake. People need to realise this and take some food for thought because Zefram could just do what swalk did and walk away. Then we could be left for shit.

It's hardly a large task to reinstate a few old(and relevant) rules into the new ruleset. Sure, he generally does a pretty great job, much better than I did at many points, I admit that. But that does not mean we should not call out the points where we think he is wrong. That is not abuse, that is for the better of the league. That's part of the role he has and he should not take it personal.
I did not just walk out, I gave blind a decent amount of time to find a replacement for me before I quit my position. I'm sure Zefram would do the same if he is thinking of quitting. Someone else who feels up for the task would just take over. No biggie.

You're saying you don't understand how it doesn't come across as "Zef didn't listen to my PM so I'm gonna write a thread trying to call him lazy and out of touch with the community"?

You're "light hearted trolling" is not just between you and him. You've tried to publicly humiliate him so that other people might laugh. Making people laugh at someone else's expense often has a fine line and you've clearly crossed it.

You don't get it and now this long winded conversation is obviously completely off topic. I don't care much for the rules which have been brought up. I only care for the lack of respect given to people who give so much of their time to deserve it. I just drew up the ironic comparison that you want a to nail down some ambiguous (and in the end, meaningless) points like a professional contract binding teams to start on one side, which can be sorted out by amateurish sportsmanship.

Thx for taking bait. I didn't have to chuck in your name there, I could have left it out like you could have left zefram out. The fact is I never intended to have any of those points reflect on you apart from the walking away comment. But you see by how chucking your name in there you project all those statements as some sort of comparison to you? That leads you to getting defensive. Now imagine these types of threads, comments, rumours popping up all over the place, time after time. People just need to leave this pathetic bickering out of discussions and work on the real issues that are the RULES, not the PEOPLE.
