I don't have time to read the messages and the Thread message, I only read the first 3 sentences so I'll be quick.
How do you dare saying that ? On the European side, tournaments are DEAD, only a little group of people are taking it seriously. To me, 2019 was the end of the NW competition, so we decided to make the TOG, who is here to maintain the old level of competition by organizing bigger tournaments with prize pools.
Also, the three principal european tournaments hosters (which are MightyPaiN, MarxeiL and me) all agreed with this organization.
I just don't understand how you dare saying that, we're no trying to have a monopoly but to save this game, so it doesn't die before Bannerlord comes.
Just don't post anything if you are not willing to read the whole thing or put any effort into learning proper English.
This guy had his project in the making for weeks and as he's about to present it the TOG appears (officially, in FSE) and suddenly everything changes. I would have given it a month to make all points clear and transparent, and to have everyone know about the new order of things from team cpts to any community member be it players or potential organisers aware. Its not only a matter of formalities but also of time.
Since yesterday I think this is probably the only 'new' point I need to address. The project itself had also been in work for around a month, brought up on FSE via Fotin's thread that was in the community area (I believe), someone can probably find a link to it. It was discussed with the majority of people that have been hosting in the community or leading any major gf teams before we moved ahead with it as we of course wanted to check anyone that we deemed relevant at the time. McPero of course was not in that list as he hasn't hosted an event since 2017, and he probably never read the thread that I mention again because he isn't very active on FSE anymore.
I'd just like to point out that it's being made out like this was a secret or hidden agenda but it really wasn't. It may have been to a few players within teams or anyone outside of the competitive community as we didn't see it relevant to speak to them until it was definitely going ahead, but there was nothing stopping other organisers discussing it with others or captains discussing it with their team members.
Yeah let's elegantly ignore some of the things and say they have been addressed.
That's not how things work in a normal community. Just because idea has been publicly discussed doesn't means TOG is exactly what has been discussed. Many things have been discussed on that thread and I believe not all the ideas are now in the TOG structure, so how does one know which ideas that have been brought up are now used in TOG, it is just not how things work. How is boyotting irelevant piece of information, please don't be so ridiculous. Your statement makes no sense, why are you posting a thread on FSE when things aren't final yet? If you are claimed you came to an agreement about boycotting after the thread was finished than why was it not updated? In what world can people be "on board" with some organisation when they don't fully know what this organisation is, since organisation itself apparently doesn't? You can't sign a deal and then just change it. But of course it makes more sense that you think boycotting being displayed on the forum thread would hurt the reputation of the TOG so you didn't even mention it.
You keep ignoring the fact that majority of team captains, organisers and referees are still a small minority of the community, EVERYONE is relevant. Thinking only top of the competitive scene has a say is pure elitism.
Let me make an allegory. In middle ages each city had a bakers' guild, all the bakers in the city would be part of it and would cooperate in order to make more money with less effort, because they would eliminate competition. Each baker would bake exact same amount of bread of same quality and sell it by the same price as everyone else. Now who does that effect the most? Bakers, it effected their lives very positively, but for everyone else it effected them negatively but just slightly. This is very similar to this situation where
you think that because people that are most effected (positively) by TOG are elite of the competitive community so this is a great idea.
Why the team cap? Because "it has always been like that" is argument thiner than graphene, especially since it is not true.
