I just realized I hvnt made any **** posts in a while, yet I cant think of any ideas at the moment, so I decided to leave a pointless mesaage here just to waste five seconds of your lives.

This could actually be good for Memb. A chance for him to get some rest and try to evolve a bit. I watched a lot of Memb this year and he organized three tournaments and streamed almost every day and it was obvious he was tired in the end of the year. Saying "unbelievable" in a high pitched voice all the time even when something unremarkable happens was a bit annoying. Agree with previous poster that t90, apart from all the questionable stuff he does, is constantly trying to evolve. Memb is stuck. His USP was charm, passion and at least from my perspective an narrative of being the underdog who cares more about the community than others. The last one was completely lost for me when a player in his tournament couldnt play because his city was being shelled with artillery or missiles and he dont even comment on it, just moved on.
And he now promotes a guy who says killing people is politics
Yes sure. If you are a Russian living in Russia, let's see how forthcoming you can be with anti war opinions.
Easy for you to say when you live comfy in western country and never had a problem in your life and now instead of appreciating your privileged position you go around looking for reasons to get offended by and ideally cancel someone. The only time you feel value in your life is when you make things worse for someone else.There are always different options. One option would be to just stay at home instead of playing the tourist in Spain.
That's such a messed up and toxic mentality.When a Russian tourist still shows up in Spain, people in Spain could also show some moral integrity and not hang out with such a person.
decency, lmaoEven an organization like FIFA had the decency to ban Russia from the world cup
If there's something I'm certain of, it's that virtue signalers like you are EXACTLY the kind of people who would go along with smashing places up during Kristallnacht.Were some of the people in this community to live some decades back, they are the ones who would have refused to take a clear position even after Kristallnacht.
You don't understand, 1 year old Vinchester should've prevented Yeltsin from naming Putin president. Since he neglected to do so, we absolutely must engage in violent and loud virtue signalling on an online forum while resolutely ignoring the issue of the Ukrainian high level player whose situation we're lamenting being Vinchester's long-time teammate and friend, and that they're probably communicating privately on a daily basis. We must not, under any circumstance, let the facts get in the way of our vocal show of righteousness.If there's something I'm certain of, it's that virtue signalers like you are EXACTLY the kind of people who would go along with smashing places up during Kristallnacht.
You're so quick to judge and cancel someone just because they happen to be Russian, despite having nothing whatsoever to do with the war in Ukraine - one has to ponder how a vilified nation of people would be treated by your ilk in Nazi Germany.

Even an organization like FIFA had the decency to ban Russia from the world cup, yet this community somehow finds it difficult to simply ban Russians from its tournaments.

Hmmm.. know about those numbers.same FIFA which gladly accepted Qatar's World Cup where more people died building stadiums than in RU vs UKR conflict
you're completely clueless about the world
I mean, that's kinda ironic considering the above statement is not true at all.same FIFA which gladly accepted Qatar's World Cup where more people died building stadiums than in RU vs UKR conflict

Don’t think so. I can’t say I’d blame him after everything he went through on here last year. Also there was a post of his I remembered that has some relevance on this:Just noticed Nili hasn't announced NAC4 or even made a page in aoezone.net
Is he not on aoezone anymore?
If yes, its kinda sad because its the go-to page for tournament schedule and tournament related discussion.
which joke?it was the offensive joke from that last GL tourney that made me do a 180 on nili. complete non event for me this. GL to all though
Don’t think so. I can’t say I’d blame him after everything he went through on here last year. Also there was a post of his I remembered that has some relevance on this:
AOE-II - The Seven Deadly Sins — Expert Showmatch
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS ~~~ Rewatch the event on Twitch replay ~~~ _Ra_'s PoV bruh's PoV SpringTV's PoV Post-match itw: bruh interviews Spring, then Hasan Reddit thread created one day before the event THE CONCEPT A guaranteed seven games, on seven different maps, soon to be laced with blood...www.aoezone.net
While I don’t disagree with some of what you said, I can see why Nili would feel the way he did/does. It just gets tiresome.Tell me this is a joke pls.
Literally every tournament that has kept the game alive over the past 15 years primordially existed because of this board.
There are obviously a lot of trolls on this forum but who cares? There are trolls on reddit aswell but the despicable up/down vote concept on reddit just drowns them out. Everyone with even half a brain knows who to ignore on the boards. But no, let's act all butthurt because three trolls disliked my event
Not to mention you'd be hard pressed to find a single person who'd disagree with some of the criticism he has received.
It's even straight up bad business. Why ignore one of the most influential AoE communities? I honestly don't know. In my country we say that even bad press is still press.
Meanwhile Huehuecoyotl is hosting a Nations Cup on top of the AoE-olympics he organised earlier.
Tournaments entirely communtiy funded, in which players of varying skill are allowed to participate.
Over 450 registered players and he isn't crying one bit about the AoEzone trolls.
Stop sucking up to „silly Nili“already.While I don’t disagree with some of what you said, I can see why Nili would feel the way he did/does. It just gets tiresome.
I have watched some of my friends that are known people in the community for instance get slandered for literally hundreds of posts, many feeling unnecessary and negatively over the top. From that, I would never get to the place where I’d tell them, “Hey, just ignore it. It’s only a couple hundred posts. Or hey, you only got death threats for a few months. Just let it go buddy.” It is easy for you or others to say just look the other way.
Also, most people on here I’d say aren’t teenagers where they only have an online life. Dealing with whatever irl stuff they have, then come online to get harassed or criticized over the top? Unneeded in my opinion. You can color it however you want saying it’s only criticism or someone is just being “honest” (which sometimes I’d say is a codeword for excusing rudeness), which I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with that point btw, but one also shouldn’t disagree or be surprised when it is those exact things that alienate someone.
I don’t think you or anyone else would hit someone with a stick a dozen times or so and expect them to take a few hundred more hits. And then wonder what their problem is when they run away. Then there’s some that think they could act better when that has yet to be proven. That’s not intended to be a subtle dig at you btw or anyone else in particular, just something I don’t believe.
This all sounds nice and almost reasonable... until you realize Nili's response was to ****ing Philippe le Bon, guy who was never serious. Getting uppity over his comments is just pathetic. Nili wasn't really hurt by that, he was just looking for an excuse to throw a tantrum and chose the lowest hanging fruit.I have watched some of my friends that are known people in the community for instance get slandered for literally hundreds of posts, many feeling unnecessary and negatively over the top.

I don’t know where it’s gleaned that I am sucking up to Nili. I’ve never watched Nili nor do I actually disagree with some of the things that have been said about him.Stop sucking up to „silly Nili“already.
Literally all other main tournament hosts (Memb, T90, Huehue etc) come on Aoezone to discuss their tournaments. They are open to constructive criticism and also just want fans to know about their events.
If a certain person is just to lazy to do that or „doesnt want to interact with all the mean haters (whine whine)“, then thats okay for me (but still immature, childish and cowardly behavior imho).
Yes, I’m very aware of Philippe. Me and him have some history. He actually trolled me for a few years collectively.This all sounds nice and almost reasonable... until you realize Nili's response was to ****ing Philippe le Bon, guy who was never serious.

I refuse to believe anyone with functioning brain could be hurt by whatever PlB says.
I don't doubt you have some friends who were unjustly overcriticized and it would be fair for them to stop coming here but trying to equate that with Nili's behavior is way too much of a stretch. You're projecting one situation on a very different one.
