"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."
This is topic doesn't make any sense. The moderators are human, they have their own opinions, and are free to express them.
What is disturbing, however, is that you are taking that post out of context to make a point. First of all, that post was made a long time ago, and the point of it was make the forums usable again. At that point, nearly every thread devolved into a MLG-related topic. Shishka posted that on my instruction - and everything he said in it was true. The people claiming to advocating MLG style play were being idiots and doing more to hurt their organization's image than help. The opposition was being belligerent, rude, and was just trying to make enough noise to annoy everyone.
Second, KSI, even if you accept the post in the context you present it in (which, as I've said, is wrong), your statements don't really go anywhere. What are you trying to say? That the moderators have opinions? That they have biases? They are human, you know. That means you've proved... well, nothing. You've proved nothing. So, what was the point of this thread, again?
I'll give you something else to chew on. I don't like the MLG style of play. I think it is silly that you give people one of the best weapons in the game to start out with. "OMG, he's teh biased! FLAME HIM!!!!" Of course, that's only part of it. I completely understand why those gametypes are set up the way they are, and I can imagine how in a tournament, eliminating all possible variables outside of the person playing the game can be desirable. I just don't think it is fun. I also know why they don't like starting with the SMG - I don't like starting with it, either. How's that for a paradox? I could go on, but that would take this into territory I'm not perpared to discuss.
The point, however, is that the reason the post you reference exists is because everybody on this board did not recognize or discuss the real issues at the core of the difference between the two styles of play. They refused to even consider that the real interesting ideas might exist in the grey area I just described for you. Hence, the banning of that topic from the forum. It was too bad, too, because there is a very interesting discussion buried in there. Many people come here to complain about various aspects of the game, but no one ever thinks about why the game is like it is, or what can be done to fix what they see as problems. They just post back and forth about features they demand to be cut because "they suck", rather than thinking of an actual solution.
Anyway, I fail see what you are talking about. You took a post out of context, interpreted it incorrectly, then tried to make a point about bias based on your flawed interpretation that doesn't actually prove anything other than that the moderators are human.
