It's not just about personality.

So the multiple tournaments that have been ran smoothly are pointless JUST because he hates things that others don't hate? It has been proven time and time again that he is trustworthy for similar jobs, therefore, he is a good candidate.

That's my 2 cents.

[Zakvvv666]

Yeah, just because some people don't like him doesn't mean he's incapable of doing things.

This is not a valid argument. I have done this plenty of times myself, same with placements.

qqwref was originally put in D6, NeoMasterPie was put in D1, The J Maxx was put in D2 when he had teens on Since 1983, there was a lot of drama in the 7th official over placements.

I'm not saying he is the ONLY one that has ran tournaments smoothly, I am just saying that he is not a BAD candidate just because people don't like him.

I can read Zak. Thank you.

What? And there are plenty of other tournaments in the past that ran smoothly as well.

Let's compare Middie and Dossar for a sec:
- Run multiple well-liked tournaments with good placements? Yes for both.
- Good work ethic? Yes for both.
- Has helped out on the site before? Yes for both.
- Lots of people who hate the person? Yes for both.
- Is an ass to everyone? Yes for Middie only...

There were more inexperienced people on the placement team for the last tournament. If you take note NeoMaster was in d3 or 4 when I did the official and middie was part of that placement team.


Edit: There are reasons why I decided not to go with Dossar and if he wishes to discuss it he can PM me. The one thing I will note publicly is that his application strictly focused around tournaments which was not what I was looking for.

I am not implying middie is a better choice than Dossar, all I am saying is middie is NOT a bad choice. Period.

There are also better choices as well. Period.

How does this correlate with anything?

Middie isn't the best person to do things up front because he is disliked by the community due to a lot of issues, but he definitely knows how to handle his own when taking on the responsibilities/logistics of events. I would easily consider him a better tournament host than a good majority of the people on this site simply because he can handle pressure and will make changes to things accordingly. If things aren't going to be done on time, he makes note of it way before it becomes a problem and everyone is aware of it.

Being behind-the-scenes is a perfect job for Middie. People need to stop unleashing/bandwagoning hate on top of people in this community, because it happens all too often. I'm still pretty ticked off about what Middie did in the last DF custom tournament, but I'm not casting stones and calling him out for being shitty at what he does -- that would be an absolutely retarded assumption to make. He's going to be working with us, and I look forward to see the kind of things he will come up with on the back-end to make the entire community happy.

The whole purpose of event helpers was to assist/create in official events (with approval) for the community to enjoy (to promote and encourage activity), and while Middie has been brought to the team for behind-the-scenes work, he isn't officially listed as a "event helper", and he won't be running his own events here. With that being said, can we all just get along for once and see what happens with this new idea?

And you can have that opinion all you want, I do not know enough people on the site to know firsthand, so I am not informed enough to agree or disagree.

Because I care about the official tournaments and actually want to help with them?

[alloyus]

Really nice results, will be glad to see more things moving along on this site

[Coolboyrulez0]

can i please photoshop a swastika on someone again here because this discussion is not going anywhere productive

No, it's because I was looking for people who had a diverse set of things to offer for multiple events around the site. Again, if you wish to speak with me about it you may do so through skype or another private medium. You also don't have as much time being that you're busy with college.

You all are getting up in arms when there's only actually 3 event helpers that are publicly doing anything. Middie was already on my placement team for the official when we decided we were doing it over a month ago.

[runescapedude1126]

Sorry for aiding in railroading the thread, I just don't see why people were getting attacked just for getting chosen for 1 thing.

[Razor]

lots of white noise in this thread

[psychoangel691]

Anyway, congrats to our event helpers

and YOSHl

Hopefully we can make some awesome new events.

Aww shucks guys.

Such a shameless plug - you weren't chosen by the group that decided these three guys though!

I really hope you keep up the awesome work on the front page posts, they are definitely great to read.
