Candide

First off, I was not avoiding the question at all. I don't visit Tactical Discussion, so I had no idea.

Secondly, he was not pressured. One PM from one guy does not equal pressure.

Thirdly, that was just his opinion, not the SBR's. I haven't seen the thread mentioned at all in the SBR.

Fourthly, Moderators are not "directing what people should and should not know"

Fifthly, if you've got a complaint about a SBR member that you feel is 'abusing' their being in the SBR, take it up with M3D. It has absolutly nothing to do with me.

Sixthly, Just speak shortly and to the point. With all that rambling you sent me, all that you needed to say was "In this thread (Link) Ankoku was posting tournament results and a SBR member told him to stop so he did" Seriously, just get to the point. I didn't read any of your post after you posted the link.

First. 1. What is this Brawl ranking thing, and what's the problem with it? A link to it would be nice.

I don't mind the overuse of fancy words, but only when they make sense. Be specific and straight to the point.

What ?

I find it strange that as soon as I learn of something, I encounter a parody of it in real life. We, just this week, starting reading Candide in my English class.

To start with, I'm not a mod. A lot of people seem to think that. In Sweden, there are a few secondary and even elementary schools which specialize in musical abilities. But that's it. Until high school, you can only specialize in music. In high school, you can choose from a wide range of specializations. There are even some from where you'll get a diploma making you eligible for work straight out of HS, like carpentry, being a mechanic and being an electrician. That's right, you'll be a licensed carpenter, electrician or mechanic straight out of high school.

The majority of the specializations is just to have each student be able to choose what they like best. Certain lines also prepare them for college. For example, there's the law line which is an introductory course to law studies. Then there are numerous others like the math line, the language line and the natural sciences line. You can get into most programs at college/uni no matter what you had in HS as long as your grades were good enough but certain programs/courses require certain optional courses, some of these HS lines have these optional courses already in their main schedule for this (for example, majoring in HS in natural sciences will pretty much guarantee that you'll be able to study any natural sciences program/course in uni/college as long as your grades were good enough).

This is not just typical here, this is how it is. I think all high schools are like this in Sweden.

Yup. I go to a few tournaments around the Twin Cities area, and while Brawl has about 10 TVs set up, Melee will have 1 or 2, if at all. As for the scene itself, it's almost exclusive to the Twin Cities area, from what I've seen.
