Which group of RBW competitors is more impressive?
I hear League of Legends gives it a run for its money.

AOE-II Is "stream-sniping" the apex of moral deviation?
This is the typical WEIRD comment that is expected in an English-language bulletin board. The assumption of universalist values because the majority of people in the cosmopolitan internet space share them. The conversation began with a Turkish player that I believe is sincere and is not merely...- felix.feroc

AOE-II Is "stream-sniping" the apex of moral deviation?
I think the distinction, which is why I find the problem interesting, is how much due diligence a player has towards keeping his or her strategy secret. I don't think anyone would deny that what you suggest, or that watching T90 stream the match, would be considered cheating. But, to go back to...- felix.feroc

AOE-II Is "stream-sniping" the apex of moral deviation?
How about another metaphor? Let's say you are throwing a party and issue a general invitation to the neighborhood. You have a beef with your neighbor, Bob, and tell him he can't come. He comes anyway and drinks your beer. Is he stealing? I think you can issue a general invitation ("Hey...- felix.feroc

Dude, the straw man argument is Myth's basic strategy. In fact, in some ways he is the Hoang of aoezone. His strategy is annoying and hard to counter, and learning to counter it doesn't help in civilized debate, but it is galling to just say gg and move on.- felix.feroc

The_Dragonstar toxic behaviour
Straw man much? I said many players, but am accused of insisting that what I articulated is a universal belief. I said the way Hoang plays, and I am somehow against laming, as if that were the primary attribute of Hoang's style. I say sympathy mostly sides with The Dragonstar, and I am accused...- felix.feroc

AOE-II Is "stream-sniping" the apex of moral deviation?
The logic is correct; the assumption is false. It would be cheating to look at someone's live stream while playing poker, at least at the informal games I have played. The moral equivalent is to decide that because a player at the table is showing a friend (who is not playing) his or her hand...- felix.feroc

This is where I think there is some disagreement with the feelings of many players and why they are more sympathetic to The Dragonstar in this situation. The attitude of GLHF is important to maintaining a healthy scene, and Hoang's attitude is sharply in opposition to it. Because of this, there...- felix.feroc

Actually, I think the discussion here is quite important, as we are articulating/contesting our values as a community. On one side, we see people who think the convention of allowing players to pause has almost the weight of a rule. To deny another player a reasonable pause is such a violation...- felix.feroc

3D!Bee disqualified from RBW: Legacy for cheating

3D!Bee disqualified from RBW: Legacy for cheating
I expect "them" (including you) to make coherent arguments backed by evidence. I expect that these arguments to be made in good faith. I expect them to accept that any narrative of malice and/or incompetence to be met by counter-narratives of good faith and reason, and that this...- felix.feroc

3D!Bee disqualified from RBW: Legacy for cheating
This does not make sense to me. So you think it is fair for people to make up theories out of whole cloth without evidence, but it is unfair to point out that the theory sounds implausible? That simpler motivations might apply? I suppose I should justify my use of that word. Right now, I have...- felix.feroc

The official Hera / Nili Drama Thread
I love the split on this, because I think everyone is right! One side sees Hera as almost painfully earnest, and Nili is well within his rights to needle him for comic effect. He even makes a video of it because it is so ridiculous. I imagine that, given their relative strengths, Nili did not...- felix.feroc
