How clear is that, bt instead he did a YOU BOTH ARE BEING STUPID, MLG SUCKS, SO NO TALKING ABOUT MLGtype of post, his white text, and mannerism didnt make it look bad, but that was the basic content. Follow my meaning?
Your meaning is skewed by the fact that you're ignoring what everyone is trying to tell you, as well as ignoring half of what I said.
I don't see you coming to the aid of the non-MLG players, after I called them immature, tactless forum trolls. Instead, you're twisting the entire thread into some anti-MLG diatribe that's acting as a barrier that prevents MLG players from getting their own playlist.
You're completley, and totally wrong. You're ignoring context and content in an attempt to accuse me of being the reason the MLG doesn't have a playlist. You know nothing about what the forums were like back then, but you assume that I have some unreasonable bias against the group and am preventing them from getting their shot at matchmaking for it.
Not that you're going to listen, but I'm going to reiterate what everyone has already told you:
I have nothing to do with the creation, maintainance, or removal of Matchmaking playlists. I was not the person that made the decision that there wouldn't be an MLG playlist.
The number of accounts in the MLG website's forums don't accurately give the number of MLG players playing matchmaking. Usage stats speak louder than any online petition.
At the time of that thread, the forums were nothing but flamewars. MLG kiddies claiming anyone that didn't play MLG games were too incompetent/new/whatever to be qualified to have an opinion. This sparked non-MLG players into a fury for being called second-class citizens; simply because they didn't subscribe to the point of view that a) you can only play MLG gametypes if you play Halo and b) your humanity is weighed against your skill at a video game. The bickering turned into a constant slinging of fanboi rhetoric, that ultimately didn't matter because neither side was calling the shots.
Achronos told me to throw down the rule that MLG/Anti-MLG discussion was to be banned from the forums. It is because of the reason in the paragraph above. Stop trying to imply that I came in and ended MLG discussion because I dislike MLG. Once again, my personal opinion of gametypes does not influence decisions made for the playlists. No matter what color my forum text is.
"Watered down" is only negative because you choose to interpret it that way. MLG game types strip away all variety and spontaniety away from Halo in an attempt to meet one subgroup's definition of "skill." Whether or not that definition of skill is more correct than any other is purely subjective. The idea that skill is more important than fun (an idea that many people try to bring to these forums) is also just an opinion, one that does not happen to coincide with the opinion of the majority. The problem, and what motivated me to make that post, wasn't the gametypes; it was the fact that the people coming to the forums to preach the gametypes were presenting themselves as the only people of any importance in the fan community. As I have had to remind people before, and will in all likelihood have to remind them of again, that is not true.
Quit ignoring the fact that I admonished both sides of an argument you weren't even around for. Quit ignoring what Achronos and the others are telling you is the actual truth behind the events you've just now noticed and decided to post about. Quit taking me out of context in a desperate attempt to forward an agenda you yourself don't seem to understand.
I would lock this thread, but I'll let Achronos do it as soon as he's tired of watching what everyone's saying bounce off of you.
