By came forward to host one you mean take over BEAST from Aeronwen? I would have declined them aswell. Aeronwen hosted 7 BEASTs in a row, putting in a ton of work for the community. You just have to understand that BEAST is Aeronwen's tourney and there is a good reason why it has a good reputation among most of the community. And you simply expect her to let all of that go and let others like Popo who has absoluteley no experience in hosting tournies or biased/toxic DM admins take over? The only thing that would do is ruin the good name of BEAST and it's reputation. Anyone is welcome to host their own tourney and build a name for themselves. And I'd say there was plenty of time to build up your own project. Ofc it is always convient to use the work of others because you simply lack the expertise or will to build up your own project.
Aeronwen ASKED for hosts HERSELF. When people said "UHHHH I HOST" she didn't respond. Don't know what's so hard to understand about that.
Perceiving the toxicity as the standard and acknowledging "only 10 people insulting the admins" as normal is part of the problem.
You do not "get blanked" when you are hosting a tournament. That is entirely up to those that intend to host. If you want to takeover another event or use some of the assets of that event however, you may "get blanked". But as a disclaimer, I should note that I am not aware of the specifics of whatever talks there may have been. But the only thing required of anyone in this community to host an event is to actually do the work. Nothing and no one prevents that.
To add something more positive:
That part is actually makes sense, but also was not part of why I criticised your previous post.
And lastly:
If you pursue this line of thinking and tell people that they should not post or engage in a discussion, because you have been criticised or they simply do not agree with you, then consider this a verbal warning to not do that.
You get neither a say in who gets to participate in a debate nor do you get to to dictate how that debate is conducted.
However, I will add that you have expressed your disapproval in an acceptable manner, which is - as you mentioned - not a given in this commmunity considering the first part of this post.
Edit because ninja:
To quote myself: "Express your disapproval in an acceptable manner". Or lead by example, take your pick.
Aight NoVa,
1. I am not perceiving toxicity as a standard, but there is also nothing u can do against toxicity, unless u ban like half the playerbase.
2. It wasn't about taking over BEAST. She asked for hosts of a tournament.. SHE ASKED FOR IT, and then when people actually messaged her about it, she didn't respond to them.
3. Calling someone a simp, who actually is a simp since the beta, isn't an accusation. Also, I don't judge, just said it.
4. And I don't pursue any line of thinking that tells people off for responding. Just make sense when ur responding to me, that's all I ask. Calling me entitled made no sense at all, because all I said was that Ikea's statement didn't make sense.
... and lastly
I am not gonna insult ppl on a forum, where calling someone a "dickhead" results in a 2 week vacation from said forums. Also, I find insults (like actual insults, not the banter ones from TCV) won't bring my point across any better than civilized communication, so why bother.
Or, you know, Admins can go and remove people from the competition who act too dumb or insult too much. Also works.
In the end, the only thing I did here, is arguing your bull****. Because certainly, you are oversimplifying stuff to an extend it just serves your argumentation while absolutely ignoring the rest.
"Ever conceived the idea, that you don't wanna get insulted 24/7". Isn't that what u said before tho.
"...Poor human conduct in Division A..." = "Ever conceived the idea, that you don't wanna get insulted 24/7". So what am I ignoring?
All I said was, that if u get butthurt over someone calling u biased or insults u on a personal level, then u shouldn't be admin for a tournament. Like that's just how it is. Sure u can ban people, but that just shows that ur not mature enough to take an insult and do the much bigger thing: Ignore it.
Or even better: Reply to it in a very calm and collected way, so the person that's acting like a freak gets even more pissed off and leaves u alone to play Roblox in their parents basement.
