One of the primary rules of the SBR is to keep the SBR discussions private. Our releases are to the public and only by a few members of the SBR that have been appointed to do so. This is so what we say is coherent.

Considering teh vote was lost with the SBR we had, I think that is the decision as it stands. While there will almost undoubtedly be a vote again if MK's dominance increases or stays consistent, that is what it is for now. You can't just copy/paste things from the SBR or tell people waht goes on behind closed doors, especially when most of the AIM conversations get reported back to us anyway.

Just keep your head down =P

Way to go, LeeHarris! I also have to heavily commend you for somehow not mentioning the fact that as one of the more vocal supporters of the ban, you also avoided attending any Brawl tournaments in the past month, including HOBO 12 which had banned Meta Knight. I'm not entirely sure how up-to-date with the tournament scene you can be when lately it seemed more like you haven't been associating yourself with the community at all.

That's too bad. Lee's avatar looked much better next to a purple name.

Edit: I suddenly feel awkward with all these big signatures and purple names around me o.O

You shouldn't have been in there anyways. Isn't the backroom for people that contribute to the community, host good tournaments, are top players, or any combination of the three? You don't really fit that stuff too well.

He hosted several tournaments and has made great contributions to the community, most recently with helping out the whoel "Brawl+" thing. He also has placed decently in Texas if I recall.


Oh, you're also a jackass that hasn't earned one tiny bit of his arrogance.

lol Overswarm I won't deny that I'm a jackass sometimes, but I've done a lot in tournaments and earned a bit of arrogance. :p

I know LeeHarris has done some hosting and placed okayish in Texas, but I didn't know that was somehow enough to get into the backroom.

I actually agree with that.

You know, if Meta Knight ever has me frustrated (which, as a character he never has, merely the players who use him giving me alot of trouble some days), I just take a look at my signature and suddenly I feel great.

i don't think you can ever "earn" arrogance.......personally i find arrogance to be a bad quality to have....i think pros need to be more humble....look at the nfl a bunch of arrogant *******es.

The majority of top level players I have encountered since I started playing all seem to be more humble than those who aren't from my perspective.

Although arrogance is something I have found in small doses in this community.

I think it's possible to change the color of your name depending on what Group Memberships you're in. I believe he chose to keep it yellow. Of course I could be wrong..

@Cameron: **** you guy! Whobo is happening in April. Why do that Kansas people not know this?

Silly question but what's the situation with m2k posting in the BR yet not being a BRoomer?
Click to expand...
BRoomer- Somebody who has access to the Back Room, which you can see at the bottom of the forums (I believe the current description has to do with Cashed, but it changes pretty often).

SBR member- Somebody who has access to the Smash Back Room, which you can see at the bottom of the Brawl board listings. You just have to be considered a useful contributor to the smash community or be a top player, or be a respected tourney organizer. I'm to lazy to fix that run-on sentence.

You neither.

Sometimes, I wonder if you even bother to reread through your posts.

plank has a point. the only people that voted on the MK ban had a credible reputation for smash, either as a player or a TO, but requires tons of experience regardless.

By the way, of the 35 people who voted NOT to ban MK in the SBR, only 6 go to tournaments regularly.

Isn't it great that our decision is lead by 29 people who you can barely qualify as Brawl players?

Interesting contradiction.

LeeHarris does bring up a good point which is that the public has very little say on existing SBR that clearly don't deserve their SBR status anymore. If you care I can search up some very idiotic posts made by SBR members in the recent past. Even in the weekly "character discussion" there's some very inaccurate information regarding the characters.

I don't think anyone that lacks Brawl experience or knowledge should even be in the SBR. If they had their time in the melee days then perhaps create a seperate Melee Back Room but the community as a whole has moved onto Brawl.

Let alone having them vote on something like a MK ban seems ridiculous. Don't get me wrong though I don't think the public opinion should be the one that's taken seriously but... the MBR needs a roster change.
