Cross post from G6 Merch Drop Thread:

Random note for Europeans residing in EU or an EFTA State:

The site does calculate VAT but if it is not included on your order, you are required to pay VAT upon arrival (check with your local European/EFTA State office handling VAT related inquiries).

Norway is a unique case where you pay both VAT + a custom fee as the site is not VOEC registered (meaning, if it were VOEC registered, you are exempt from VOEC + custom fees). I reached out to get the ball rolling on this one though.

You can see the insane custom fees that comes with ordering from Norway:

i think these look really cool and im not here to hate but i think for a team called “rome” you should probably have some sort of roman influence with the design and not an ancient greek hoplite helmet

main influence was the galea helmet which from the side can look like a spartan helmet but we were using this as a ref image

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GD0AAOSwgpdg1v5f/s-l1600.jpg

team liquid jerseys from cs follow a similar pattern. but, compared to the rome logo, which is a front facing perspective, the liquid logo is a sideways perspective which integrates into their jersey design pretty well. so ya

another draft we followed up was using roman tile patterns fading up from the waist bottom, laurel around the neck opening, with a bright maroon background (note -- no sleeves because jersey template separates the front torso / sleeves). def influenced by the rome logo color and can be compared to the as roma soccer jerseys

I have always been a fan of firesides cast I think what they do is pretty cool and I think its actually what the community needs, however after learning how much of a snake their lead person is I don't want anything to do with this org. I have been constantly reaching out to siyo asking whenever he slots open because I would had liked to be cast. I was thinking maybe hes just busy because they do have a lot of things to do and that's why he can't respond that much. Only for me to learn when trying to get rescheduled for hopefully to get casted he does this shit. I can confirm I will no longer be buying fire side merch. He could have just responded saying oh we don't think the match is going to be close which it probably might not be, but its the lack of being professional when you lead an entire fucking organization. At least fucking tell me and not ghost me.

i think everytime you've reached out to me up until that last game we've either had an invite or advanced game reserved for the time slot. I don't see anything wrong with my message other than telling our coverage channel that you had reached out for a cast and said that on paper it's a straight up 5-0 without sugarcoating the words. not trying to make fun of you but we've only chosen matches that we think narratively should be close unless it's straight up the only match to cast that day. and there's always options on wednesday so that is a far bit reaching

Im upset because of you ghosting dude. Just be more fucking professional. I had to find out through tax that you were saying that shit. You could had just responded with, "Oh hey young man we are busy that day or we don't think that match is going to be cast worthy," and I would understand both fucking reasons. It's just the fact you are being an ass.

You clearly did make a decision by deciding to post to your lead producer saying,"Young Man thinks we are gonna cast him getting rolled." This seems like pretty conclusive words saying that we aren't gonna cast young man. Not to mention matches were released at like 1pm yesterday my brother and I reached out 2 hours after matches were released because I thought oh wait this might be interesting.

We have a public copy that I'm updating in real time of our 2024 expenses/revenue. Compared to 2023 this is a little more organized since 2023 was us playing catchup as we never really did record what we did.

We're in the red ATM but that's pretty much due to the airbnb reservation. We expect to be even come July of this year

Carrying over our profits from 2023, the Osmo Pocket 3 Bundle purchase is specifically for footage and filming. As we'll be coming to RGL LAN me and Bethnicz will be at the LAN and filming stuff for future videos. We thought it would be nice to include real life player footage in our videos instead of just clipping together match vod footage/player photos/screenshots from the rgl website. I've been thinking of also, while not producing (should we have the chance to produce a 2nd stream at RGL LAN), we can grab players on the way side and record interviews similar to how HLTV interviews players post match at CS LANs

We've also moved from merchandise compensation to actually compensating volunteers with Paypal/Cashapp/Venmo. Yes, the payments are small. But subjectively I made the decision to retroactively pay people for past contributions they made as a volunteer.

The PASS TIME 4v4 $200 expense isn't recorded in the document as it's technically part of the 80% share from last year that the PASS TIME merchandise proceeds generated.

The $600 prize pool for the cup we are planning to announce isn't listed as it's a donated prize pool from someone.

We have a public copy that I'm updating in real time of our 2024 expenses/revenue. Compared to 2023 this is a little more organized since 2023 was us playing catchup as we never really did record what we did.

We're in the red ATM but that's pretty much due to the airbnb reservation. We expect to be even come July of this year

Carrying over our profits from 2023, the Osmo Pocket 3 Bundle purchase is specifically for footage and filming. As we'll be coming to RGL LAN me and Bethnicz will be at the LAN and filming stuff for future videos. We thought it would be nice to include real life player footage in our videos instead of just clipping together match vod footage/player photos/screenshots from the rgl website. I've been thinking of also, while not producing (should we have the chance to produce a 2nd stream at RGL LAN), we can grab players on the way side and record interviews similar to how HLTV interviews players post match at CS LANs

We've also moved from merchandise compensation to actually compensating volunteers with Paypal/Cashapp/Venmo. Yes, the payments are small. But subjectively I made the decision to retroactively pay people for past contributions they made as a volunteer.

The PASS TIME 4v4 $200 expense isn't recorded in the document as it's technically part of the 80% share from last year that the PASS TIME merchandise proceeds generated.

The $600 prize pool for the cup we are planning to announce isn't listed as it's a donated prize pool from someone.

We plan on discussing in the off season the approaches we take in covering the RGL Regular Season. We're starting to realize that as this season ends we're starting to burn out really hard from all the coverage we've done this season. We feel there is very little return for the time that we put in this season and thus may end up casting the playoffs portion only for the foreseeable future.

So I didn't realize but apparently our Youtube Livestreams were all unlisted

If you can't find your vod on our youtube playlists/twitch highlights we have probably saved any match since October of 2023 here:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSw7XtwkU5aReSnEbv7lAZZKwTFP4vMiM

GLHF!

If they aren't saved here then we probably lost it to the depths of time or it's on Dr. Underscore/Pika/antlers' hard drive!

You know what happens when they take our money...

Our team is incredibly burnt out after a really busy off season. After the 4v4 PASS TIME Draft Cup we'll be avoiding coverage of the RGL Regular Season to give our producers a break. The only exception is that we will continue to cover HL and the NC/AM divisions during this time with the help of Pika and zak. We will return for playoffs!

from what i said in a previous post aboveThe $600 prize pool for the cup we are planning to announce isn't listed as it's a donated prize pool from someone.

I went back on this and actually added it to the document to keep better track. If we just randomly received $600 and I had no trace on what I did in a central document it wouldn't be smart for my own record keeping... so yea, I put it in. Small thing.

To handle the multitude of event/match coverage requests, we request that any third party event organizers reach out to us with event/match coverage requests through the Fireside Discord in our #contact-us channel.

Before it was normal to just message me to get a tournament covered; once I was contacted I'd forward the message to everyone. But I'm no longer the only guy running Fireside + it's better to centralize things so more eyes are on the request. Yes, we're trying to get rid of the "everything runs through one person" thing.

Don't try DM'ing me to request a tournament to be covered because you will just get redirected to this channel haha
