Trying to nail down where the issues lie in RGL feels like playing a fucking shell game man. The issue is always under a different shell no matter what you pick. To say that Jercer takes the hit for ANYONE on HL staff is hilarious when I've almost never seen her defend one of her decisions, only lower level staff getting yelled at by hoards of people on discord or typing long threads on tftv in her defense. The only time I've ever seen her type about one of her decisions in the RGL discord was after double A/D was attempted to be forced and she literally said that she used seasons old survey data to answer questions that were not asked to make the decision. You guys are either lying to us or yourselves saying that the Head Admins take responsibility or heat for any decision that gets made, it's very clear that it's the opposite. Maybe they're all as incompetent and out of touch as Arcadia showed himself to be in the RGL discord the other night and it is better that they don't speak publicly, who knows. Also, as the previous message said, decisions communicated by Jercer are signed off on by Jercer and become her responsibility as the HEAD ADMIN. You are literally blaming vague lower level admins in your post to take heat off Jercer lmfao.

Just want to point out that Jercer has been the HL head admin since September of 2023. Exa has been the RGL head admin for much longer. I'm sure turnover of HL staff has an effect on decision making, but is there really no clear vision from the people in leadership roles who have been in positions of power for years?

Alright who wants to make the thread for RGL's latest groomers and witch hunters that havn't been banned for coming up on 2 months.

The issue isn't that there should only be 1 A/D map forever or that none of these decisions should ever be made, its that RGL did it without even pretending to care about what players wanted. They didn't poll these decisions, they didn't even wait until the post season poll was closed to make them, and the head admin admitted to using old poll data and interpreting player answers to questions that were not asked on that poll. If the admins want to actually poll changes like this and the community supports them then great.

RGL announced over the weekend that It will be removing IM and adding a second Advanced division, effectively adding a 4th paid division without really changing anything else other than a new div (which already had around 8 teams in it each season) being round robin. This came as a shock to the community as it was not polled or communicated to the player base prior to making the decision.

RGL also decided to fundamentally change the game mode structure of the format by removing a payload map for a new attack/defend map without polling the community in any way shape or form and prior to both the post season survey and season ending. To justify this, the head admin simply said they were both stopwatch maps and upward polled worse than steel last season. Just because they run on the same config does not mean they are the same game mode and I believe the average player would agree with this, however the admins neglected to even bother to ask.

Along with this map pool change, RGL decided to swap out a koth map for a new untested version of lakeside which has not been run in a map cup or had any focused testing by the community that I am aware of. Once again, players were not polled on this decision and it was made prior to the closing of the post season survey anyways.

Since the RGL discord constantly has 1 minute slow mode on to prevent people from discussing the league in league discussions, please feel free to provide your thoughts on these decisions and more from the article.

Strange how you didn't post any evidence during the period where you were "hyper-fixating" on this specific person. What exactly did you say to them and what did they respond with during that time? You'd think the period in which you think you were reported for would be the evidence you would try to refute. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you can't start harassing them.

Let me get this straight. You have admitted to being creepy towards women in the past, you are banned statewide from FGCs for being creepy to women, and now you are banned from RGL for being creepy to women. Along with this you have posted screenshots of you being creepy towards someone who is giving you very little response, all of which is outside of this November timeframe where you said you crashed out and "hyper-fixated" on this person. And you want people to believe that everyone across these communities is just lying about you for fun and none of this ever happened? You also haven't been told the accusation from RGL and we are simply meant to believe that this was the accusation and that it is the only one. It sounds like, from the ban wording and the people who have interacted with you, that this is probably not the only person in RGL you've been creepy towards. Looks like a very obvious pattern of behavior across several years and around several different groups of people. The community is clearly safer without you.

Comedic overreaction with these bans along with reasoning that completely misrepresents what happened. RGL couldn't just ban the pedophile nazi, they had to sour what would be a positive reaction from the community with more evidence that the administration is, at best, out of touch with the community, if not outright vindictive towards these players.

RGL will get to that right after they make sure that anyone who said mean things about the person whose entire online presence consists of references to pedophilia and nazism gets their rightfully deserved discord perma ban.
