I know you would rage battlecattle. You raged last time, when I went out of my way to tell the TO's who I was, so seeding wouldn't be ****ed. And everyone called you out for caring about insignificant ****.
If I could enter under an alias, and be seeded properly without the TO's forcing me to reveal myself, I would just tell the TO's and they could seed me fairly. But clearly that won't happen.
So I'll do what I want. Luckily I don't give a **** what people like battlecattle think about me lol.
Come on man. First of all, try to keep an even keel here.
Second of all, if anyone who tries to make tournaments fair is "caring too much" about "insignificant ****," and we just sort of take the attitude that, hey, tournaments aren't the place to sweat things like seeding or rules, we're never gonna have competitive tourneys. Some (great) people would like that (han, knitephox, yourself) but I can also name a (I would say larger) number of equally great people who would not.
Han, I love you like a brother, but come on. You really think it's not a problem because everyone should be shooting for first place and if they're not they've already failed? Some people (I don't include myself on this list, but some people) can't beat sheer, and do care about whether they end up at 9th place or 33rd.
If we sacrifice fairness to appear cool because we don't care, we might as well turn the whole thing into friendlies. That's not a bad thing for everyone, but those of us who do like tournaments are going to be harmed.
