While I have no ill will towards the individual members of the Unity Ruleset Committee, the URC was unquestionably one of the worst things in the history of the Smash community. The URC's attempt to remove decision-making power from Regions and Tournament Organizers by forcing a "standard" ruleset was completely counter to the core of our game/community and did nothing but further alienate and disrupt the scene.
I can't wait to return to a recommended ruleset instead of an enforced one. The power should always be in the hands of the community, not a committee.
I don't think I could have said it better, Will is so smart. Except on stuff he disagrees with me about, what a fool.
URC sucked ****, you can't just say "MK is banned forever, if you don't like it SUCKS FOR U" and any ruleset they don't like they can't use
hell yeah you sense some
URC wasn't recommended. It was FORCED. "you don't use this you won't be stickied", and having half the major TOs join that group and agree to it after BBR failed on the same issues many times yet half the members were the same? Coincidence? No they failed with BBR so they got members they knew would vote that way and then only allowed them in, it's just as corrupt as BBR is with voting new members in, EXCEPT THEY GOT TO START FRESH with a new group of people where they can pick and choose who to let in to make it even more corrupt. I've been back there since the beginning and saw everything. It was definitely bad and forced. If it truely was a "recommended" ruleset, it wouldn't have been forced. That's tyranny.
Yeah, this. especially the first part. idk about the sticky rule, I've never had a tournament big enough to warrant one, but you can't ban a character that wins NATIONALS, and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, and then expect people to be rosey when you change your mind. Some people have stopped caring as much who mained MK, they are at a disadvantage, unless they are the 5% who are better with a different character, i.e. the people who picked IC's.
If you don't get why he's mad, you're being dishonest with yourself and/or your peers online. I don't know enough of the personal drama, but it most certainly IS.
MK was banned because of 1 man, :jasongetskissedbygirlatburgerking:
btw I don't even know how to play as MK, let alone support people picking him up. That doesn't mean ban him, it means pick up Olimar because M2K can't beat him.
Also, picking out one point of an argument that's flawed or weak and using that as way to debunk the entire post makes you look bad to the learnededed people. You can't dismiss his post because he doesn't give a care about what actually happens with the sticky, that doesn't get rid of any credibility.
everything you have ever said that wasn't trolling
I think the reason the URC failed is that they let people like this represent them. I'm not even saying he shouldn't have been in, but WTF are you guys doing letting this man speak for you? That's terrible.
You see, that's the thing. The URC was in the process of restructuring itself heavily with 3.0 and the code of conduct from the Charter.
I actually asked Xiivi to let me take control of the group for administrative purposes via PM, but rather than let the restructuring / functioning with proper active leadership occur the choice was made to disband.
That's pretty sad that they wouldn't let you be in charge of it, I think you are one of the few people who is strong enough willed, yet open to logical thinking, to have been able to handle it...
If you look at in terms of activity in the MW, MWW has local scenes operating in MN, MO, KS, IA, IL. MWE has MI, OH, and if you build in IN.
That's only 8 TO's we could work to get on board to run the same ruleset regionally.
Until you forgot Nebraska. I'd like to point out that I personally average 13 people per tournament at the ones I throw, as opposed to like 4 people going to ones that aren't thrown by me. Sure, we aren't very good and some of us aren't as focused and we focus on melee, but you shouldn't dismiss us because of these things. We still matter and play the same game sometimes.
Also we just inherited South Dakotas scene.
