But of course we can be blamed because we kept our mouths shut out of respect for Tatsu, Dustin and Andy’s well being? Naw, fuck that. Musacci can eat a dick.
But then again I’m a documentary film maker! I can just clap my hands and come up with documentaries on the spot along with no reasonable awareness of slander laws or copyright violations-- or even the slightest idea of the effect it would have on my reputation! IN addition to that my life just revolves around making unlicensed documentaries at the tip of a hat, and I have no other responsibilities to attend to. I just sit around and do that. No family, no girlfriend, no income to work for, no other obligations just that. Thank you for your cracker jack insight you eye-less weasel. I hope you get siphillus from an aged bulgarian whore whom you fall in love with who says she hates you so you develop an unrequited obsession with her and become a recluse with a house full of cats.
Yeah, I think just having the raw interview is for the best. Agree with “rocketlauncher” guy. That said, your information and passion for making sure more people don’t get screwed over will help and has already helped the community, redrapper.
Interesting. Boddies is outstanding (I think Boddies is both singular and plural, but I’m not certain. I had a British friend who said “Boddies” but I could barely understand half he said and his grammar was poor on top of that, so yeah). ::lifts Boddies to 3S Gouki and moral, efficient tournaments::
Fanatiq: “I used to have so much respect for srk, but I just don’t like how people created lies. From my experience, everyone always gets paid.” Something like that at least. #staged
Who the fuck even says I was talking about you? I’m talking about the idiots that basically sucked Revelation’s dick and mislead people. Though honestly seeing how you wanna go there yeah, SRK the site itself should have done ALOT more to get information out there so people knew not to go to Revelations seeing how it’s a site for the “community”, same with Eventhubs. And I’m pretty damn sure it could ahve been done in a way that doesn’t put those three at harm.
Seriously bitching about the tournament and Nelson after the fact when some of this information SHOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN WIDESPREAD before it happened and talking about how you didn’t wanna say anything because you didn’t want to put those three at risk when the tournament started sounds ass backwards to me.
also, I’m pretty sure that Nelson has been aware of this thread and now will do EVERYTHING to pay out the pot to keep his face and potentially can call the ppl out later as “liar” etc
I mean it’s not THAT impossible to get another 5k if you have ALMOST 50k available - even taking a credit, or pawn some equipment etc
Yeah, Pherai and I were discussing the beer tastes of Mexican Americans and one American of English descent (me) a couple of pages ago haha
Everyone, let’s stop fighting amongst ourselves. ::sings kumbayah:: A ton of shady stuff has now been exposed. It’s arguable that FChamp and JWong shouldn’t have promoted Revelations so heavily, but hopefully they’ll share their side of the story now. I feel like all of the dominoes are tumbling.
Those three wanted nothing *said. *and Secondly, we were done with this. There’s plenty of other stories about this guy nobody is going to tell you for good reason, but if it’s the case about being warned? I told everyone I knew about how John Nelson was a fraud. I went on Arturo’s stream a few months back about it, I said it when I went to New York last year-- this isn’t the first place I’ve mentioned it. I went into DETAIL here. EVERYONE in SoCal more or less knew about this shit, and once again thought the tournament would bomb for attendance and John would silently pass. I wanted nothing to fucking do with it. Then the blow up happened, and I threw my hat in to illuminate.
Also, apologies for the attack. The guy before you really pissed me off. The attack was meant for him.
On topic: You’re right about the promotion, i guess those in line for the cash didn’t want their tournies crumbling like KOF’s did? I don’t think i’d be out of line in saying Jwong loves his money, what with the admitted pot-splitting and numerous raffles he ran? I don’t think he minds where his money comes from or if justice is done within the community as long as that money’s in his wallet. But hey i don’t know the guy so i could be talking shit here, just the impression i got.
I’m sure they weren’t aware of who John Nelson was until they had agreed to help him out.
If this happened to be signed in writing, then they’re just doing what they agreed upon, and would be wrong to back out regardless of what this community thinks.
In regards to the opinion that things should have been said sooner:
I thought I addressed my point of view already but I’ll just say it again for clarity’s sake:
My biggest concern was Andy, Tatsu, Warahk. Like I said they are very good friends of mine, and during the dinner when everything fell apart in front of my eyes (I literally had no idea about anything going bad until that night), I talked to Andy about doing something and there was clear discomfort, probably due to the fact that there was still a Team HORI. So I didn’t say anything about that aspect.
I personally did not know about/attend Triple Threat. I only heard it as part of a story demonizing Gootecks.
From a player perspective, SCR 2010 and Rev 2011 was a success (although I had no idea about the Wolfkrone/other online qualifiers issues).
Team HORI did not announce their disbanding from Nelson publicly, nor did L|U. Also, Markman did not put TL on blast, simply said that MadCatz was not sponsoring Rev 2012. You’d have to imagine all of this is a business decision. From big corporations to small, companies don’t go out of their way to put each other on blast unless they are suing (like Apple and Samsung). It’s basically PR for the company to be the “bigger man” and just move on/disassociate.
As for SRK/Eventhubs staying silent, you’ll have to ask them, although from a journalistic standpoint it’s probably best not to publish an article blasting a guy or an organization unless you have facts from both sides. And considering RedRapper’s interview with Nelson for a documentary that he wanted to have happen… imagine how hard it’d be to get an interview done when you are trying to put the guy in a negative light.
Anyways, you guys in this thread are not the first to bring this up to me, and like I said before it probably would’ve been (at least in my best interest) to talk about this stuff before Rev 2012. I didn’t. No excuses. But hopefully the above will at least give you some insight as to why I neglected the issue.
I don’t think anybody is blaming you for not coming out with it sooner. The thing now should be to not blame anybody else in the crossfire, such as Hazmat for streaming the tournament, with possibly no background knowledge of who John Nelson is.
They might’ve done some research after agreeing, but maybe by then, it was too late. We’ll never know until everyone tells their side of the story. A lot of people are blaming Justin and FChamp for promoting this tournament hard, but as sponsored players, it’s also their job to pull entrants to the tournaments that they enter as well as get their own sponsors out to the public.
IIRC, Planet Zero was one of the few arcades ever to be given SBO qualifier spots way back when for either GG or 3s or something else, and either the winners never made it to Japan or got stranded there.
Don’t quote me though, cause I don’t remember shit.
