Empire Arcadia Discussion

have a good day :slight_smile:

I can vouch that Justin leaving didn’t start all this and most saw that Justin, among others, weren’t going to stick with EA years before. Justin leaving may have prompted people to actually post what they were thinking but the EA drama has been like the untold truth for years that people who live in the city know about. Some of the evidence against EA is true while some is ambiguous and kind of leaves important details out or is just reaching to hate. For example, how is Triforce telling Justin to remember to thank the community when he gets on the mic a bad thing, I thought that was a good thing. Also I found one of my posts from thread that got deleted:

It sounds like you were able to make an informed decision based on the information supplied to you before you joined. You had no delusions of grandeur or misconceptions of the matter, meanwhile certain other people just expected 1st class free rides. Nothing wrong with that either. It just sucks that depending how you spun the information, EMP either sounds like a piece of shit or just a group trying to build itself from scratch where as EG has sponsors throwing money at them to offer luxuries EMP can’t (I’m guessing?).

Anyway I’m neither against the guy or supporting him but I still say this thread would have been more relevant years ago, I mean at this point, the majority of EMP’s big names are in EG(or rather, at least enough of them for everyone to start hootin’n’hollerin’ over) and ā€˜now’ it’s time to expose Triforce’s evil scheming to the world? Who are we supposed to be effecting here? The people who are still ā€œfallingā€ for his trickery? People who may fall for it in the future? Or has it just been a work in progress culminating to this convenient point in time?

So set the record straight then. You have a bevy of first-hand experience so I think people would be more inclined to believe what you have to say over the OP.

Damn, this broad trolled the whole EMP?
Triforce had a mad case of Jungle Fever and it Merked him, no cure.

This post is also true. Some ā€œpro fighting game playersā€ are broke and near homeless and have a dream to step up their game and the ARC provides shelter and a constant training environment. People should see the ARC for what it really is, not just a free ride that you can take just because you placed in a tournament. Having people help pay rent was expected and having Justin help with it helped carry the empire. Like I said, Triforce still probably has that dream to expand the fighting game scene, to make it big like Starcraft and kDNF (DFO in the US) are in Korea. A lot of drama stems from Triforce being disrespectful and his discrimination which was evident in several streams not yet linked in this thread which people even mock him for, plus his constant need for money causes him to diverge onto unethical and immoral means.

It requires the ability to read.

That was not the point of that video clip. The point of that video clip was to illustrate the mentality that Triforce is instilling in his players by telling them ā€œwhen you inā€ not ā€œ*if *you win.ā€ This implies the ā€œwinning is the only optionā€ nature of Empire Arcadia. He is basically telling Justin, ā€œyou are going to win, period.ā€ Let me know if that cleared it up.

Do not expect a reply.

Do you have the links to any of that evidence?

I’m no fan of Arcadia, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a threat. It could just as easily be interpreted as, ā€œYou got thisā€.

EDIT: That’s not to say that there isn’t a ā€œWinning is allā€ mentality. But that statement in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Oh lawdy. This thread makes me lol.

because at the end of the day,it aint gonna make a difference,one of these days imma make a video with a brief bio of myself,affiliation with the Emp and random BS so u can have a better understanding of things…stay Tuned :slight_smile:

Ok. I’m just gonna say this.

For SFIV/SSFIV, I am a nobody in that community, with the exception of knowing a couple of people who also/used to play Blazblue or Guilty Gear. Which would be no major player in the empire.

Not once at their tournaments over the last year did I feel I was being disrespected or treated rudely. Nor have I witnessed it. Unless you count getting addressed as a group as a pot monster on the stream, which could be FAR FAR FAR worse, I don’t count it as such. If the EMP people are better and win, then it’s fair game for them to have the winnings, even if the purpose is a rent collecting session, because there’s nothing stopping a non-emp from going and winning it last time I checked. So from my perspective, the frequent tournaments do help the community.

That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less.

Does EMP salary you? If not, then it’s pretty much slavery. You’re giving them money. For what?

I am extremely interested in this content. Could you possibly link the content here as well?

On a side note, does anyone know how I can get a hold of previous IRC chats regarding this matter? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

LOL, since when did slaves get paid?

fuck outta here.

Perhaps this thread and the recent events will motivate EMP to step their game up and win major tournaments.

Ayo, man… You gotta feel sorry for Triforce… guy truly loved a girl named Mileena… he loved her passionately, which you can tell by his epic cyber-sex post. She trolled him though… trolled him big time… and guy got exposed to thousands of people… To make things worse, Justin Wong… the only reason why the EMP is known for… also the cash cow left him for EG… Now Triforce is heart broken… and in debt… Shit’s pretty sad, man… you can’t deny… =[

What’s up all. Just happen to be looking thru the SRK forums and came across a thread that said empire arcadia in it so I just want to say some things.

To the OP:
I noticed your tag says semi-auto demon and realized that I watched you on a BF Arcadia stream when I was in London. Now i’ve been back about a 2 months now and I don’t know what happened with empire while I was on vacation but it seems you are not on good terms with them (i’m not gonna say ā€˜us’ because i’m looking from the outside). I don’t know if you don’t like triforce personally or some or most of the empire members or what the empire does or whatever. Me looking in from the outside it just seems like a troll attempt or some that you don’t like them for some reason. Me reading every single post in this thread does not give me a reason to like or dislike the empire. Has something been done wrong to you in the past that you don’t like them for? Do you even dislike them? Seriously, what’s the point to this thread?

I’ve also noticed your tag Shinjo with numbers and noticed that you were on the stream chat of one of the the wednesday night arc streams. Now before I’ve read this thread, it seemed to me that you were just a troll or something. Since i’ve read this thread, i’ve said to myself that there has to be a reason why this person is putting him/herself through so much trouble to do all of this. I’m looking at this from the outside and I would like to know what has been done to you that is making you go thru so many lengths to do this. What is the point of this? So confusing.

Feel free to PM me and let me know the deal. No info will be shared with anyone of this matter (no I don’t live at the arc and triforce is not over my shoulder looking at my post for those of you who think like that). Or if it’s not a private matter, I think that the thread viewers at the least, deserve a right to know what the reason is of the OP to make such an extensive post breaking down the empire if there even a reason.

As far as contracts goes, they do exist. I’ve read and signed one as well as any other member that is legally bound to the empire.

To the Electrifying one:
What’s up man, i don’t mind sharing info on what i’ve given to and gotten from the empire. I have been one of the establishing members of the empire since 2002 (I was 16 then and i’m 24 now). I legally became apart of it in 2004 when I turned 18. Before then, I was always apart of the fighting game scene and I also used to play smash brothers competitively. The empire (triforce) has paid for my travels and tourney fees in countless tourneys in the past and also accommodations and food when I was 16 until i turned 18. In later times, I have also given back to the company and triforce. I’ve helped keep roofs over people’s head’s during hard times. Given tournament travel money to people, and yes, i’ve even helped to pay the arc’s light bill, rent when they needed. So you say that’s a lot to do for people huh. People’s lives aren’t perfect and i’m sure you know that. And believe me, I don’t just blindly give people money and things like and I realize when I’m doing enough for someone and they need to stand on their feet and do something for themselves. I hope my response helps to answer your question, but to be fair, this is just me. Maybe when others are asked or approached with the same question, they don’t want to lend out their own personal business or affairs they have with the company.
On a side note, I do look forward to moving to London later this year and becoming more involved with the scene in London and Manchester as far as England goes. See ya then blad.

As far as members in the empire goes (and i’m not just talking about people in the arc) and former members of the empire, I’ve felt something like this was going to happen. I know myself that empire is not the most likable bunch. People have only settled with the empire because top players were apart of it. Now some are leaving and people are turning their backs the next hour. I’ve had my say with triforce about the whole letting people become empire because they are good. Just letting you know that I do talk to him about things like that. Some people are/were just in it for the ride, kinda like if something good happens, i’ll be set because i’m empire. Some people just want/ed to be apart of it because Justin was in it ([media=youtube]08S4poMGvwA[/media] and as men, this is sad). Triforce was getting Justin deals with companies so people tried to ride his coat tails. But what’s really the disturbing part to me is that people didn’t start leaving the empire until Justin started leaving. People can’t think for themselves these days?

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask, i’ll try to answer back when I have time. Thanks for taking time out of your life to read my LONG post.:smile:
