There is a systemic problem stemming from the league that has taken TF2 and the TF2 community by storm and assumed control. we all know what league I'm talking about, its RGL.gg. The official FRED team was created in the words of one of its members "to try sometimes and have fun". And thats exactly what we did. Unfortunately the rules put in place by RGL.gg harken back to a time much like the recent events igniting racial tensions in the USA during this election season between Donald J. Trump and Joe R. Biden. FRED was banned for one year for ruining competitive integrity. There were no rules about this beforehand so they made up new rules to govern how they should act. This ban was shortened to only 2 seasons for most of us except for Carcin who was given 3 seasons to think about his actions of being listed as a team leader. Carcin got us scrims and he is punished for that. Flu walrus is a shithead now but back then he did not deserve to get banned. You can say that he should have left the server but it is just not fair to have such an expectation given that a scenario like this has never happened before and has never really even been discussed. If all of us left the server we would have all been banned, or if all of us didnt show up we would have all been banned as well. But I did not come here today to talk about Flu Walrus I came here today to talk about the problems in the RGL league that is preventing the competitive integrity that they care about. Can a team (MCM, KND, MM, all the other top teams) really call themselves the best in the league if they are only winning because the best team is not allowed to play? So what we troll some scrims, we trolled them harder when I was on teams with some of you guys. The biggest problem I want to talk about today is what happens when we get unbanned. And Pablo was permabanned for submitting a chargeback request when sigafoo took the prize money paid for by Coach Bucks and other divs and used it to for a tax write off (charity) instead of improving the league like purchasing servers, compensating casters, increasing prize pool, or even giving it back to innocent men like coach bucks during the quarantine. Sigafoo refused to give Coach Bucks his money back during quarantine, and the Coach is not happy about it. I dont think the admins want to act like good admins and instead they just want to fuck over FRED. Back to what I was talking about, when many members (top players, grand finals winning, providing competition and content like Thanos Chubbz during Grand Finals and making the other team look silly so theres some drama too.) Thats another thing. Why does Mothership and the other RGL.gg admins refuse to allow drama or anything interesting to happen on the forums. You should listen to what anyone says in any discord they all talk about how it sucks that nobody uses the forums because everything gets taken down instantly. There is no drama allowed and everyone talks about how the UGC forums were so active all the time, this is because drama was allowed to unfold. Anyways, when FRED supposedly gets unbanned (ban length= 2 seasons, carcin ban length=indefinite=perma seasons for being leader, pablo ban=permanent for asking for coach buckses money back) then we actually still stay banned for a whole year. This is because of the RGL parole/probation system where we are still punished after the punishment ends. Every member of FRED will be put on probation (have not been told who our parole officer is). Do you guys not say these things out loud and realize how ridiculous this sounds lol? You RGL people are so full of yourselves lol. A maximum of TWO probation/parole players are allowed to be rostered on the same team. This means that FRED can not come back until 2022 since probation/parole is for all of 2021. That means we actually got banned for 2+3 seasons (carcin indefinite seasons his parole starts after indefinite seasons) so 5 (carcin indefinite=perma) seasons (pablo permanent). If FRED wants to play they cannot play together, but all this does is prevent us from coming back and instead fracturing the skill so that KND can continue to win over and over again. You think We are going to go play on the imposters? This is crazy lol you guys are insane. And one more thing. Why when I throw grand finals that I get banned from forums, twitch chat, discord, logging into site, prevented from STV server access (another topic), and treated like I have alzheimers. I want to make posts about the ===Spy Cam=== that I'm trying to put a show on for and I cant. Im trying to make posts to contribute to the triiiple community frag movie and I cant. Im trying to make contributions on the polls and I cant. Why does everyone hate my god damn guts? The gatekeeping and things like this are the most toxic parts of the community, and it is being disguised as some Good Fight to make competitive TF2 famous. But you kicked FRED out of ever playing again. I wasnt going to say it but now Im going to say it. I think you wanted FRED to throw grand finals, because several warnings were given by flu walrus and the show was allowed to go on. Last topic. Bowl of mayo keeps getting denied STV access and so do I. Why do we keep getting denied access to merely spectate and stream an interesting game for the community. look up how to set up an STV relay if you are worried about slots. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SourceTV UGC set this up back in the day and im not sure why RGL (with its money and several servers, websites, developing pug sites, prize pool, sponsors, etc) doesnt set this up unless something broke and it doesnt work anymore but I doubt it. All I want to do is put on a show for people like me who would have loved a top player watch and maybe give analysis of other top players for specific classes. Like the spy cam? Thats a cool idea and it doesnt interfere with official RGL stream since it is spy POV only. Also, Bowl of Mayo was added to Teamfortress.TV television channel with me so we could get STV info since it was our last resort. RGL admins threw a fit and we got kicked off in less than 1 hour due to RGL admin team pressure (told to sigafoo). Also afterwards the head admin of Highlander says he doesnt want bowl to have STV access even when its not against the rules. https://clips.twitch.tv/ElegantLongDunlinNomNom One more thing. I have never been banned from any competitive TF2 service for any behavioral issue before throwing grand finals, whether TF2C, HLPUGS, UGC, ETF2L, RGL, etc. I know your strategy is that you want to kick people you think are bad people out of the community. I know this because I was an admin for HLPUGS because I was brought on to learn and help with development because I developed some user scripts for the website. When I was an admin, you said yourselves in the admin channel that this was what you wanted to do. Also I was kicked off the admin team for no reason given, but I didnt care too much I just thought it was weird of you guys to turn away free help especially as it seems obvious you guys need more people helping. I know your just kids and you got convinced by someone that Im evil (and FRED) so I (and FRED) need to go, but thats just not the case. Nothing I can do to convince you, but just think about the actions FRED does compared to the actions any other team does. All teams TROLL. but its bad when we TROLL but just fun when other teams TROLL. one person on FRED (chubbz) has been banned for slurs while on the roster. Two other people have been banned for slurs before coming to FRED (TGW, fuzion). No other person. Probably 30 people have been registered on FRED in season 4, season 5. Whoever thinks we deserve a permaban is quite simply an *sshole. I watched banny mute me on his stream because in season 3 I showed up to a match against him and someone told him to mute the entire team.
