You going on about how you're child's faith has been lost etc and that you're only going to play 2x tournies a week there is pretty dramatic. To then go on and say you hope other people don't do the same when you're the only one with all the info and that's how it's making you feel, seems a bit unfair I guess. It leaves a lot to the imagination, and while I personally won't stop playing on stars, I think by posting what you have you are making a lot of people think pretty hard about whether they should even be playing or not. But we don't have ANY information. We can really only go off your reaction.
I'm not coming at you or anything. I think you've done a pretty good job itt and taken on a responsibility I wouldn't want to myself. It just sucks that so many of us don't even know the extent of what is going on in our games but you're feeling strongly enough about it to stop playing completely.
Yeah I genuinely do hope that people don't stop playing (and I know they won't). I know that I've always had a personal thing against Stars kind of, and it's been documented pretty well and I'm not hiding that. A part of the reason why I wanted to get elected for the job was because I was so ****ing pissed off with Stars that I wanted to show them. If I'm being entirely honest probably like 20% of my motivation was just to SHOW Stars their leaks. I don't mean that by trying to hurt Stars in some fashion, but just to get personal feelgood about being right all the way in these 1,5 years of people sending reports and them not reacting. I'm definitely no saint and there are like 800 ppl posting here who care more about the cleanliness of the games than I do. I play on Stars less than virtually anyone else at my ABI too so it doesn't even touch me so much.
Maybe I was being overly dramatic there but from the bottom of my heart I can assure you that none of my post above was an exaggeration. You don't know how much I'd LOVE to out every single person here and show the world how big the problem is. But I can't do that, there's not enough evidence regarding a single one of the cases to begin with and then there are the new safety issues as well, and that's why I have passed it all to wiser people. I'm 99% sure that all of the information will come out and honestly I do now have a lot faith on Stars as well. From the correspondence I had with them I felt an attitude change and they were certainly on all of the stuff. The biggest problem was the lack of clear evidence and I wasn't able to help them with that anywhere near as much as I would have hoped to. It's not really their fault either, because like I said these guys are SMART. My attitude towards Stars has definitely become a lot more acceptive during this. I knew about this stuff happening and I always blamed Stars for being incompetitive, but now when I see how these things are done I realize that they are so smart that it's gonna take a ****ing Neo from Matrix to catch these people.
If I thought my reaction above was going to be the last matter said on the subject I would have worded it differently. But I know we are going to hear a bunch from the new people working on this and that's why I wanted to leave with a bang - to do my best everyone acknowledges how gigantic the problem is. As a community this stuff just cannot be overhyped at the moment. Every click, every post, every everything helps to make sure Stars gives this their full attention. That had nothing to do with me trying to destroy the games, I genuinely wish the opposite happens.
I am fully out of this now, probably shouldn't even have answered this.
