You hold a tournament for a format you don't enjoy because otherwise we're not going to listen to you.
I'm sorry, what? This is a requirement to take a part in this debate now? Hold my own tournament or stay out of the thread?
So, either hold a tournament or leave it be. The ball is in your court. Prove us wrong.
I've proven you wrong using your own logic. With your own logic, you need to unban
all items and make a do-over tournament where
all items are on before banning
anything. You
haven't. So you're a
hypocrite.
No, it translates to why ANYTIHING should be changed. If you wanted to make Smart Bombs legal, we'd need the same data at this point. If you wanted to make Unira banned, you'd need hard data at this point. If you want Dragoon banned, you need hard evidence AT THIS POINT.
Only you've betrayed yourself.
You yourself said that the Dragoon was originally
banned. But then
people whined (no mention of any hard evidence) and suddenly its status changed. So apparently
whining alone can change an item's status.
And if you don't like the way things are run here, then either make your own project that is better than this one, or deal with it.
Or, how about I try to be a part of the project and be helpful. But apparently I can't as you're putting up ludicrous requirements for even taking part in the discussion. I'm sorry, do you require every else in this thread to have hosted their own items tournament (or at the very least participated in one) before they can post here?
This is how this project is run right now because I'm doing this, for the most part, by myself and this is the most time and effort efficient way to run things.
And maybe that's why it's so stagnated and failing on several points. Because you're doing it on your own. You refuse to listen sometimes, you're subjective, hypocritical and make arbitrary decisions.
Did I mention the stagnation? If you
really wanted this to take off, you'd try to get others to join in and become a part of the "inner circle" of the ISP, you'd try to get more people to hold Items On tournaments because, apparently, there are enough of Itemnites around for this project to even exist.
If you don't like it, either help me out by giving me more data, or make your own project and run it the way you think.
Apparently a 5-6 (or how many people did that tournament of yours have) man tournament consisting of mostly n00bs is enough to harvest "relevant data". So if I run something like that, will you listen?
Fine, I'll go and host an at least 8- to 16-man tournament with items on (including the Dragoon) on the 17-19th of October (one of the days). If I can provide data for why it should be banned,
then will it be banned? After all, you have very little grounds to not ban it other than BS arguments and whinage from the n00bs.
Keits on SRK doesn't like the way ISP is run (mainly, that we ban things), so he made his own project. Either lead, follow, or show how it should be done.
You mean EVO? Yes, what brilliant show he made.
And why can't I just be a part of it and contribute? That's right, only
your opinion matters. When called on your BS, you instead try to change the subject or (illogically) accuse the opposition of doing what you do when they're
clearly not doing that.
