#15 Med school + TF2 in Off Topic

When I was doing my MD/MPH I wasn't playing TF2 at the time, but I was still a pretty active gamer. I was spending a few hours each day playing halo and black ops 1 prior to starting my degree, but once I started I noticed I started playing less each day. BOPs 2 came out a few months after my first semester so I remember wanting to spend more time playing it but I struggled to manage the workload while also playing games for several hours each day. However, by the end of my 2nd year, I noticed I was able to manage the workload and play games much more effectively, I grinded to platinum in league play by playing a few hours each day. So it certainly is possible to commit to 6s every night while also balancing school but it really is on a person-to-person basis. Someone who isn't a morning person or who likes to do labs or work in the evenings might struggle to balance the workload with games, but it can be done.

#78 sin karma? in TF2 General Discussion

I am not defending much of what I see here, cause all this shit looks sketchy af, but posting clips of blind dets seems like data dredging (or p-hacking) to me. If sin streams most of his games/scrims/pugs and most of the players he plays against also stream, the ability to select clips of him blind detting automatically increases far beyond that of other demos who don't stream. I could easily be wrong (since I do not play with him or against him) and he is known across the board for these blind dets constantly. There being a handful of clips of him blind detting doesn't seem that sketchy, as people are only showing the clips of him doing anything successful with his blind dets, and ignoring all the other blind dets that get nothing.

tl:dr he probably is cheating, but cherrypicking clips of him blind detting isn't really indicative of anything on its own. I am sure you could go through streams of other demos and find them getting lucky dets too. Is he cheating? Looks like it from the offset, but the cherrypicked blind det clips seem irrelevant and only creates more of a witch-hunty environment in my opionion. Interested to see how RGL addresses this.

#103 Thank You Letter to RGL in TF2 General Discussion

Look, I like the we-hate-RGL-threads as much as the next guy, but this one makes little sense.

We are all accountable for our actions - whether IRL or online. RGL has made it explicitly clear that they will, and have, banned people for failure-to-submit demo infractions. Additionally, RGL has made it explicitly clear that they ask for demos from roughly every match that is played within RGL. If you guys want to argue about the use (or non-use) of these demos from an AC perspective, you can, but it is not a new thing that RGL has implemented. They have been requesting demos and enforcing the suspensions surrounding not being able to provide them for several months now. It is pretty likely that RGL circles back to players who failed to provide demos in the past, at least based on the frequency with which players who already have had warnings about demos get their demos requested.

Antlers knew about this rule and RGL's willingness to enforce it, and had every opportunity to be accountable and ensure the same mistakes he made before do not happen again.

I have sympathy for any player who gets banned from the game they love, but I still don't understand why people are upset. RGL has been requesting demos for months, and has never (at least to my knowledge) made exceptions under any circumstances. RGL is not at fault for following their own rules. Be accountable. Be responsible.

#56 Thoughts on new RGL ping guidelines? in TF2 General Discussion

In May of 2019, UGC implemented a rule that considered players from Peru and Colombia to be pseudo-North Americans. There have been 28 months of these players playing in NA divisions, and although for the first season there were some difficulties to overcome, there have been virtually 0 issues regarding these players since then. So far, all my interactions with these players have been nothing but positive, and they understand that they are playing with all the handicaps that continental SA players have when playing in NA divs but they've overcome that and have been valuable players in the TF2 competitive community.

This rule is shortsighted and alienates members of the SA community that have been playing in NA for quite some time now with little issue.

Esta regla no es justa y no es asi como debemos tratar a los buenos miembros de la comunidad.

#51 A statement in Off Topic
dovei only took down my original thread because UGC head admins said that if I called him a pedo it was considered as doxxing

This is very untrue, and you know it.

Wall I tell others this on a regular basis as well. Fuck you, Nick. Learn more about your league and why people hate it.

Like I said before, no league is perfect, and you're right some issues can never be rectified with apologies of any kind. That being said, under the current administration we have attempted to keep issues of this level at practically 0. It should be noted that Fornaught is a league owner, not a league administrator, although I can 100% understand the concern you raise in regards to previous events. I would hope that issues of the past wouldn't taint the reputation and hard work that the new set of admins have tried so hard to establish, however that is something that the admins are aware of and are working to prevent in the future. I know why people dislike UGC and myself plus the other 8 staff are committed to rectifying the issues of the past and laying the groundwork to prevent these issues from ever occurring again. It's clear what happened to you during your previous interactions with UGC was unfair and a poor example of proper admin work, and to that, I also apologize. Any league should pride itself on its ability to act fairly and swiftly. Like I mentioned before, UGC is and will always try to learn from our mistakes and improve for the future, so if you notice any issues or similarities between your situation in the past and the current system now, I would truly request you please reach out and let me know how I can fix things. I only want whats best for the community.

pajaroGeneralNickThe admins that once made those egregious rulings are no longer working for UGC, and any admin who was to make rulings like that would swiftly be removed from their position. 4/5 of the points you brought up happened under an entirely different set of admins who have been out of their position of authority for 3-5 years depending on who it was. so kumori isn't general manager of all ugc tf2 leagues?

No she isn't

alfa Didn't your league ban me off a twitch clip and then you just typed "interesting" in the thread about it?

No, the league did not ban you off of a twitch clip, but yes I did type interesting in the thread pertaining to it. You were banned after an AC investigation that utilized more than just a twitch clip. If you would like to discuss it a little more personally, feel free to reach out to me on discord for more information. However, in regards to my comments in the thread, as per UGC Admin Code of Conduct Rule 2.1, I am forbidden from discussing the specifics of any cheating ban/accusation with the impacted parties or the general public, hence my reserved response in the thread.

pajaroAnyone romancing about moving to UGC probably hasn't heard of all of the shady shit that UGC has done in it's past.

The important distinction to make here is that almost all of these issues happened years ago. No one from UGC today, or in the community at large would lie and say that UGC is flawless, but all of the largest administrative flaws have been ironed out to the best of our ability. The admins that once made those egregious rulings are no longer working for UGC, and any admin who was to make rulings like that would swiftly be removed from their position. 4/5 of the points you brought up happened under an entirely different set of admins who have been out of their position of authority for 3-5 years depending on who it was. And to add to the final point, our ban archives are meticulous, however in your case, at the time I was not a head admin and did not have access to the archives and had to rely on someone else to play middle-man. Regardless, I on behalf of UGC and its administration team, wholeheartedly apologize to you pajaro and I hope your inability to play TF2C didn't cause you any additional and uncalled-for stress.

No league is perfect, but UGC wants to listen to the community and we want to hear from everybody so that we can continue to improve the league experience for everyone. UGC has had issues in the past, no question, and I am sorry for all of that, but that was several years ago under an entirely different set of admins. It would be unfair to criticize new Presidents for the actions of the previous administration, and that exists in this situation as well. If there are any other major concerns or comments about our league that needs to be addressed, feel free to reach out to me or any other head admin. All we want is to show the community we have improved since the years past, and we are excited to prove it to everyone!
