[QUOTE=blinkskater;854930]Im sure Distorted will agree with me here. The way things are handled as far as voting for the winners and stuff like that during the championships is extremely biased. Just a fair warning that putting the time and effort into it will most likely seem like a waste of time when all is said and done. It's like a popularity contest. The more people you know the further you will make it. Just figured i'd give yall a heads up from someone who's followed it closely for the past few years and also participated in it @[URL="https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/member.php?u=10220"]Distorted[/URL][/QUOTE]

Should the emphasis be on the more ambassadorial side then?

[QUOTE=aamirus;854925]but what is your voting criteria? The best player? pretty hard to decide that. Looks like most people going that route are picking frinckles but there is also a clear recency bias there. I wonder if in the future if we can keep the ladder consistent maybe next year we send the ladder winner?

@[URL="https://www.sc2mafia.com/forum/member.php?u=34329"]Frinckles[/URL] this is not meant to be shade. You are [B]great [/B]and I love you, it just feels like many of these votes are based on the most recent FM game(s) and not looking at the past year as a whole

I am personally voting MM because he's the one who took it upon himself to keep this site's FM section alive when:
1) he wasn't even staff yet
2) there was [B][U][I][FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=7][COLOR=#FF0000]zero [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I][/U][/B]active staff on the forum mafia side of things!
3) there were some higher level folks who were resistant to letting someone new take the reigns making things that much harder for him

and on top of that, he is a great player. He sucks at scum, to be honest, but he is a great towny.


I know many are also now angry at MM for greylisting efe. But again, he created the greylist a few months ago because he is trying to bring this FM community back to life and recognized that, as it stood, there were really no punishments or deterrents at all for acting like a butt. I am personally a big fan of efe but at the same time I recognize many strong players who have played on our site have stated that they would not play again if people who have played like efe are in the game. The way we were going, strong players like that were discouraged from staying here and trolly players were encouraged to stay. MM's efforts are to bring in a new age where the quality of games here only improves over time.

Seriously, I may sound like an advertisement here, but as somebody who has seen it all going on behind the scenes, I really want MM to get this as a reward for all he's done to help improve this site in the past year.

edited to make zero emphasized cuz the site FM would literally have died there[/QUOTE]

As someone who only came back from a long hiatus at the end of last year, I appreciate getting told this information since it was unknown to me (although I did see that many of the staff members I once knew appear to no longer be logging in). Also, to add a bit of anecdotal evidence (maybe this isn't the right place to discuss it), I know that one of the reasons I, plus a few others, stopped coming here was partially due to trolly-ness becoming emblematic of site games.

I'd be happy with either Frinckles or MM in these circumstances, but I'll take some time to consider who I'd prefer.
