Discussion: ESG

Since I can't direct a thread at one individual.

Once upon a time, Caliber1 asked for an extension passed the 15 minute grace period - because our 5th was having AC issues. He was in the room, and then got a game error. He restarted his AC, and it wouldn't run. He immediately went to your mumble, and talked with ERICK for 30 minutes trying to get the AC to run.

You told us "you have a 15 minute grace period. Kanata can make you play 4v5 at that point, or take a DQ win. Don't like it? Sorry, sucks."

Now, Kanata was nice enough in that situation to wait for us, and they nearly lost (it went to OT).

We then asked them to upload their screenshots for armour, since they delayed us a further 45 minutes through repetitive disconnects, and you also told us "Well, I'm invoking my powers as admin to say they don't have to upload screenshots when you request". The week before you'd DQ'd some Asian team for not uploading disputed screenshots.


Now, in this situation, when it's not even an AC issue - it's simply Kanata being slow...

They can take a few extra minutes to set up and get into the room? Polleus can say "I'd give the same courtesy to every team"?

We could compare those two situations. One is entirely a program's fault, and C1 got no additional time. One is entirely Kanata's fault, and they got additional time. We could compare them again. Do we seriously think that this is how Polleus should be making decisions? Yes? We should those two situations again. And again, until our brains starts to work.


NOTE: For the record, I enjoy ESG. I often message Polleus with praise of one kind or another when I see he does something well. I have no problem admitting when someone does something right - in fact, I love seeing it. ESG has been doing a phenomenal job dealing with all of the issues and back-end work that needs to be done to keep things working, and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in their events. But I similarly have no problem in pointing out when someone is being an idiot or making idiotic decisions. Which you are, Polleus.

ESG admins have been making consistently biased decisions when it comes to Kanata. I don't know what it will take for me to get Polleus to see that, but it makes me incredibly sad to see such a promising league consistently making such absolutely ridiculous decisions.

Look at the only people who have supported him.

Ha.
JStaff.
Blackout.

There may be one or two others. But, the overwhelming consensus of the community was that Polleus were making a biased decision in favor of Kanata. Yet he seem to be unaware of this. I am sad.
