Are you dumb or do you enjoy picking arguments over the Internet despite your previous post on the matter?
You act as if this is a personal attack on you. Just because I voted for McCain doesn't mean electing Obama was a personal assault on me. I'm in no way being hypocritical when a situation that arises that affects you causes you to say things I simply don't believe. I'll play you in two months too if you need a demonstration. The situation doesn't affect me as badly as it affects you, although it does affect me, and handicapping me for no other reason than you are handicapped makes little sense in this context. I've made a challenge to accentuate my point. Dragging ASL into it is a completely irrelevant idea.
For the record, Rag is going to be in the same boat as you and Slam and he voted pro ban. I sincerely doubt it will affect his placing outside of possibly losing to Saint and Elev8 more consistently for a short period.
You're one of the people that voted? See, I am actually being rather civil here, despite the veiled and direct insults that the people in your organization keep throwing out. I am not getting mad or upset, and I'm not arguing the merits of the ban at all, if you will notice. I am pointing out the inconsistencies in your group's position, so follow your own advice and don't take it personally.
This isn't an argument because you don't have a defensible position. My point is that two months is not enough time to bring out a competitive character from scratch. Many people in your organization have taken the opposite stance. I am requesting that they prove their point.
Especially with the emphasis that your group has made on "community benefit" over "personal benefit." Wouldn't it follow your same logic of benefiting the community and encouraging newcomers if your initial league was composed of new characters? It certainly would, and it certainly would encourage people who
actually used MK as a main to continue playing the game. If nothing else, it's a symbolic gesture
by your organization that is hoping to be taken professionally that its members are not out for pecuniary gain.
So again, I say put your money where your mouth is. Give MK players a reasonable amount of time to pick up a main or drop yours for the opening season. It's not like I'm asking you to drop your main forever, just for the amount of time that would be reasonable for an MK main to pick up a new character and be competitive. Five Months.
Reflex and Cam both have indicated their position that two months is a reasonable amount of time to pick up a new character and that they made their decision not for personal gain, but to benefit the community. I am asking that they, and those that made the decision on similiar grounds, actually go through with their assertions and do what they are asking their community to do. MK mains who did vote on it are going to be just as hamstrung as the rest, as you said, and it won't affect those who did not actually have any say (and thus no way of getting personal gain from) in the A/S/L deciding body.
My assertion is that if you deny my challenge and voted in the A/S/L to ban MK with a two month lead in as oppossed to a five-six month lead-in then you are a hypocrite. This is not an insult, it is a statement of fact.
