wow you're good... you somehow manage to make this about you.... good shit.
Oh give me a fucking break, man.
I do my thing, I get shit. I don't care anymore.
I'm gonna fuck with the man, but he's a big boy and he gets how things work. I just want to give Tom due props because I've been taking the man at his word about these games for 6 years and he's rarely ever off point, which is the whole base of my thing in the first place.
And of his argument as well; the double standard. If anyone of a higher up, "accomplished" nature tried what I'm trying, or more importantly did things like Tom does and keeps banging his head against the walls trying to keep Sub-Zero alive in spite of himself, they wouldn't attract nearly the shitstorm for having the opinions Tom does when it comes so said Sub-Zero. Conversely, if one of your WotG regulars or someone with a Sub button, pick one, doesnt matter, were to try and cook up a massive sideshow attraction for a tournament, some of you would be stuck in their cracks like the piece of toilet paper that couldn't cross the road. But because I'm obscure and odd, and getting back on topic, because Tom is an easy target, here we are.
He does the same thing I do: his thing. His way. And I respect him for it.
I pay my respects my way.
Respect, something this entire fucking community is desperately lacking.
Tom, sorry in advance for my taking a stab leading to this derailment.
Next to no one else there is is willing to actually put the work in. Doesn't matter how perceived as off-center or vastly criticized they are; when a man does his job well, he deserved the gentleman's nod. You're one of the only guys there is left with the OG level of ethic or chutzpah needed to carry the fire. Or ice, in this case.
But yeah...tl;dr, solid case made.
