“From a players point of view and not your own”? Are you kidding me? I have to be very selective with my words since this post has my blood boiling.
Do you know how hard I have worked this season? The planning, the executing, the daily communication, the daily updates all in an effort to benefit all members that have committed themselves to this league…
I have always been transparent with this league and how I do things. I have ALWAYS put this league’s interest above my own. The only time that wasn’t true was when I took a couple months off between season 1 and 2. I’ve even thought about dropping out of the league myself (but keep the league going) as I simply don’t as much time to play as I’d like.
As with any event this season, FALL BRAWL is meant to give everyone more matches, more opportunities to play new members, and more oppotunties to move up the rankings faster. While you (and apparently Flashfan) may hate it, others like JAY are probably really excited about the opportunity it brings.
And you are wrong (as always) about one thing. This is not a community - it is a dictatorship. That is how the league was born, out of necessity. I’ve have always been open to changing the league with ideas put forth by contributing members. But in the end the decision is mine, as I see how the bigger picture will work or not work with an idea. How many times did you change how your failed 2v2 league would work after I forced you to think out your ideas?
So because you (and apparently Flashfan) aren’t happy with Fall Brawl, I should just scrap the idea? I can say one thing with 100% complete confidence - I will never satisfy every person in this league 100% of the time. Fortunately, this league is completely voluntary.
I’ve run this league for 21 months, and you are the FIRST person to accuse me of running this league for myself, and not the members. The biggest rule in this league is to respect your fellow members. I think it goes without saying that level of respect should also be extended to me since I run this league purely for the fun of it. I’ve not gained a single favor, a single piece of personal gain, and nor a single cent in the past 21 months. As I’ve always said, this is all for fun. Something different and unique. A place where SF4 fans can come and play in something more than another random online match. All I’ve gained were a group of committed Street Fighter friends. And to those, I thank you for that friendship and apologize for ever having the need to post this.
Thank you for playing, CLOUD. Good luck.
