The UGC Medals

So I got banned from discord for contacting Valve and sharing screenshots.
I’ve been pressing on GeneralNick to do to the work for the last year, at this point I feel like the excuses have run out and I feel bad as a former admin not being able to do anything. I also feel bad as a team leader under UGC who has organized multiple players who had come to expect to get what you have promised.

This originally started with the excuse that Fortnaught is sick, that I totally understand. My issue is, why didn’t you just have Eric re-assign the API, why do I get the impression that I should finish data mining the history of medals owed for all regions? I feel like no one on staff is really doing the work and I almost question the idea that the information for distribution is available (perhaps it is only available to Fort, idk) but I do know that the tool Agro is using for the KritzKast hats is working fine and I don’t understand why you have to be so fucking stubborn to make your own medal distribution system.

Nick, you talked about how it wasn’t worth the time to make new admin panels for new formats but it’s taking ages to develop a fucking thing that’s already AVAILABLE.

What a strange and sad thing to say, if I remembered correctly medals were a way to show your achievements in a game to be somewhat proud of, didn't realize it was a all of a sudden a lame thing to care over despite I don't know... them being in the game for over a decade? Like some people aren't going to check your achievements over a random website that only comp people care about lmao. Despite people loving to bash on Brock for his odd threads as of late (some are warranted), medals are a staple in this game that's slowly becoming lost and it's a shame. This isn't something that should be so easily forgotten.

I honestly have not even bothered to comment on anything you have said regarding UGC medals before, because I know nobody on this forum really cares about UGC anymore. But untamed is right - medals are important. They are a physical (well virtual) representation of skill and achievement, they are cool, and something that players have come to accept for almost a decade for any league worth their salt.

Could I come up with any number of excuses? Yes, I could. I could blame it on the fact that Valve takes half a year sometimes to respond to my emails. I could blame it on the fact that the system that UGC has was built from scratch in the early 2000s and is held together with hope and prayers. I could blame it on the fact that the only person who knows how they interact with that system has been fighting for their life over the past few years. I could blame it on my incompetence for not knowing enough about web development and coding/API programs more broadly. I could blame it on the fact that we are all volunteer staff for a league that's on life support and that these tools and programs were created years before any of us started volunteering.

I'm just as disappointed as everyone else that medals are not out yet and that the public perception of UGC is worse than when I started in 2018. I want my medals too. But please, stop wasting Valve's time by emailing them - and confusing them further about our league. The final thing I will say on this matter is that we are working on getting medals out. All of the staff we have currently are dedicated to this. We inherited a fucked system that was developed when I was still in high school and that none of us had direct access to until extremely recently. I'm sorry it has taken this long, but airing out dirty laundry on the forums will not speed the process up.

Regardless of my endless shitposting on this site, I respect you and what you've done with your league. The fact I could compete in a league for Ultiduo was crazy. It was where I started comp TF2 and I met some really hilarious and memorable people on there. I hope you guys can get back to business soon.

Bro Eric emailed me back in less then a day, just use the tools I linked you that Agro uses, it’s not that insane of a process, if you gotta have someone assigned the API, Eric will help you, who have you been emailing this entire time and not even gotten a response?

No go fuck yourself, and double fuck you for getting on the bandwagon for being a dick to me. It’s a genuine complaint, and your not the one that still gets players asking about the issue when I’m not even an admin anymore.

Blind faith, the most desired salt in the finest of a shit post’s cut. I still want the medals to happen, but it shouldn’t had been on the to-do list for the multiple years. Can ya explain that, can you give some reasoning for procrastination? Seriously you had the tools available, the line about valve getting back with you Nick is absolute bullshit. Who the fuck are emailing, the plant?

Also wtf is the link on your profile Beel? Ya made 10 dollars, what did you spend it on, a used copy of halo 2?

https://i.ibb.co/qB8wS7g/IMG-3593.jpg

At least I made more money playing Halo 2 comp behind my house at the video rental store when I was a teenager, idk what I spent the money on, but I sure made more then 10 fucking dollars.

BrockAlso wtf is the link on your profile Beel? Ya made 10 dollars, what did you spend it on, a used copy of halo 2?

preface, I'm going to write this very simply so you may understand what I am saying too you.

1). I spent it on your mother
2). 10 dollars more than you've ever made playing this game in rock bottom open
3). I have no idea who you even are
4). seek therapy

p.s. generalnick owes me and my team more first place medals than any other team currently, and I believe he will get the job done when he figures it out. However, if he never figures it out or no one dose, that's okay too because that's reasonable because life happens. I am owed nothing and you are owed nothing. Get over it and move on.

1. Thanks for supporting my Mother.
2. You Should do your homework on my earnings.
3. I’m the guy you challenged to fight after you had a mental breakdown on our team screaming at everyone and then got kicked off from.
4. It appears your projecting, I can offer consulting at a very reasonable rate if you are available evenings.

My guys played just as much, across multiple formats, actually if you consider that we as a collective are owed more then the global clan strut you have been riding while fighting 1-2 teams between ffts and reschedules. What I wish you would understand, and feel, is that you are owed, you were promised those medals.

I might shit talk, or go back and forth with you, despite you not agreeing, you played man, you are owed, don’t take away from that. Those are things you get to keep forever, even if the game dies, no other game does that for the comp scene. Appreciate what you played for.
