We tried to tell you about the game -
Was the same game; never was the same
Yet when you realized that, we still put the blame
On you when you turned away from Our Name;
We damn well knew what we claimed
Now it's Our Name, Our Game, that you blame.

We took what you knew. We spat on it
Discussed it, were disgusted at it;
One of us was all it should take to admit:
"Rest assured, we meant no harm; don't quit"
We said - no, we tried to justify all of that shit
Yet we wonder why there exists between us, this split?

We came in, stomped on what you knew;
What you do, what you could do - you were trained to do
What they trained you for, this game named Two;
Yet we didn't care if Our Fathers said things true;
That's why you almost never knew
About the other options out there for you.

We tried so hard; too hard, for eight years -
Past years, grandfathers made earthquakes here
We borrowed that quake to never disappear -
What's left here? Why do I feel this much fear?
Eight years, our Brothers drowning in their tears
Their damned tears; damned with their clinging peers.

It took forever to swallow our pride;
We lied, we always lied to keep that pride
Which might be why we were often denied
By you, by Your Fathers we cast aside
Yet now. Your - no, Our Fathers supplied
Long after we feared we could have died.

We tried to tell you about the game;
Was the same game; never was the same -
Our Fathers came back. Our Fathers lit the flame.
Will you still come back? We can start clean again
After we told you Our Name, Our Game -
were the same as Your Game.

Here's some things that a few folk within other communities/within this community brought to my attention that I'll drop off here, may or may not have been said in past pages already:

I finally had time to put together a BTS video of the SFM work I did for the intro this year. I was the one who worked on the theme (which is totally just meant to take the piss out of LoL's 2014 "Warriors" MV), I've always wanted to make a video for comp TF2 like this.

Congrats to 4G, shoutout to Invite for fighting it out and keeping my job security. Shoutout to Dashner for doing the sweet frags that Beater helped find, as well as helping me when it was crunch-time with editing + post-processing + additional angles + keeping my sanity in check. Shoutout to Airon and Mana for the awesome sound and music mixing. Shoutout to tsc for getting me on the production crew back in S17 when I did jerseys. Shoutout to the production crew and our casters, buy them all drinks next time you see them god damn it. And last but not least, shoutout to all y'all cool people for appreciating what we do, what I do.

Winglet is hugely respected in the SFM community. Nobody's going to give a shit about this but within other circles, I've vocalized issues about some of his videos' endings or pacing like a turbo nerd ("Your Eternal Revenge" is my trigger word) but he's shut me up with this, every character had their goods and bads and it wasn't just Flawless One-Man Hero bullshit like with 90% of every protagonist Scout animation ever. It's the best thing he's done and it's one of the longest plot-driven TF2 SFM animations, where he could do as he wished without having Valve interfere with development.

Working with stock animations/actors is a pain in the ass too and it comes off as lazy a lot of the time but fuck me he knows how to use them since Winglet's arguably the best at making his videos feel like TF2 too, like even if a Soldier's getting Ubs with an Equalizer it's badass enough to give it the creative license pass. This makes me want to go do huge things with SFM and strive to improve myself.

tl;dr I came.

I guarantee you that Extra Life, Child's Play, or even St. Jude's, whichever one you pick - if you have one and you tell people exactly which charity, as long as the charity isn't shit people will absolutely want to donate no matter what. Please pick your charity first above all.

Also, it's being downvoted either based on how you have a lack of experience with running this sort of thing, or because a Heavy Boxing Tournament is just something a 6v6-based forum isn't interested in. Again, r/tf2, but keep the questions asked here in mind because they will be asked again over there.

EDIT: I need to add, having a charity event with this much work is absolutely a good intention. As I said, you seem like fresh blood, you look like you need (other than a confirmed charity) a little more organization. Message people who have hosted charity/non-charity events before, do some research on what they did right, what worked and what didn't, what you'll need to watch out for because Something Will Go Wrong if you aren't careful, if they paid anybody or if they didn't and why they chose to or didn't choose to.

Never say this because it sounds like the sketchy shit that people who want to exploit freelancers would say. I understand this is a charity event (which should have been stated in the first place rather than insinuated in the post-notes); this is still not a good thing to ever state in the way your tone sounds. Personally, I want to volunteer my time for charity for charity, I don't have to be told to fuck off if I won't get paid.

Don't also give that "oh man well don't blame meeeeee for trying to make a good thing happen" because nobody is gonna want to work with you if your customer service/public relations techniques involves being like that. Answer what you can with transparency, thicken your skin, take the bad with the good and show tact and understanding in response, not passive-aggression.

Also, have you tried r/tf2 as well? If you'd like to find more help as well as more positive reception, they'll probably dig this event a little more than a 6v6-based forum like this might.

Thank you to everybody involved, from the production crew to the donators, down to the live personalities and all of you guys who supported us and this event. Props to everyone who was part of the graphics team: our lead Jess, FoxC who made the awesome fireworks and lower thirds, and DukeDaniel who made our promo posters. I'll be straight up, I didn't think that we'd hit the numbers we did in terms of viewership or donations. Suddenly, we had a filled Mumble full of cool people all over different communities and niches wanting to pitch in their talents, over 9000 dollars, and a Twitch meme ascending into a symbol of good will and unity.

Also, shoutout to Ultimo for ripping that model that I was gonna surprise Dashnerr with in as a joke. Now, I feel like going through the work of finding this and having this ported was meant as fate. Have a 1920x1080 of our wonderful little blue-eyed star of hope.
