What Would TYM Rather see? (Khrome appreciation thread)

[TakeAChance]

If someone said Lex beat Zod and created a detailed list of why, with concrete information and not just a baseless opinion I agree, then sure its fine. But someone just saying so because they are pulling it out of their ass or because they beat the kid down the blocks zod definitely should be regulated in some way. I would rather have mods infracting these people for useless posts than offtopic stuff in troll threads or front page news.

If I feel like it, ill make a thread tonight about what makes good MU discussion vs bad MU discussion. Its not hard to understand, but so many posts are "x character is free to y character lol" and "just jump" or something similar as their only talking points. I want to just have some guidelines to link to when the MU discussion becomes a cesspool again for MKX.

Agreed. can't wait

Where's the fun in that?

Other people don't though. Dumb ideas + info spreads and influences the general opinion. That's why they sometimes need regulation

Yep, but we can regulate them with the proper information instead of calling them idiot ass hats who give you retinal aids. If they choose to ignore your information, just move on.

Most of the time it is informative. But people are also arrogant and don't stop, which goes back to the first point. Sometimes it's called for, and in a competitive environment things are going to be like that.

sounds like people are being oppressed

I completely disagree. I feel like people are just being reeled in a little bit and common sense and decency are returning.

Uh Muhammad Ali was the king of trash talk. If he's your idea of ideal trash talking it's pretty hypocritical being that he called Joe Frazier 'ugly', an 'Uncle Tom' and a 'gorilla' among other things. The Ali/Frazier triology was legendary because of the beef between them.

The badass rivalries we've had in the past have been because of trash talk (REO versus PL | CDjr versus PL | 16Bit vs. CDsr ect.) won't happen if everyone is forced to sing kumbaya together.

Maybe Ali wasn't as great a choice as I was hoping for, Namath was definitely better, LOL.

The point is, as long as it's kept in the CONTEXT OF THE GAME, then it's cool ON THIS FORUM. If you want to be personal, fling poo, etc, there's Twitter, Facebook, and various other outlets to do that. We've pretty much made it clear that the personal attacks won't fly here. That said, I'm all for trash talk that keeps things hype, as long as it's not geared at being malicious. Unfortunately, we've dealt with too much trash talk with malicious intent.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

To answer the question of the OP (and not deal with the dumb poll)

I'd like to see top players calling each other out.

Edit:
I should elaborate...my point is just typing this is that its obvious this was not intended to be malicious or porn although it was interpreted this way.

Yeah I agree, but like I said before ppl are way too sensitive on this site.

And the ban, which is a zero tolerance, PERMABAN, was reduced to a 2 week ban based on exactly that. It still broke the rules but common sense prevailed. A poorly executed joke resulted in consequences, and those levying the consequences looked at the context of it and adjusted the penalty accordingly.

And yes, I get that what you typed was not malicious or porn. Had you posted a pic of it, it would have been a different story.

They're all friends

It isn't much fun to call out a friend.

So I get it.

I was just answering the question presented.

That's the problem though, this thing wasn't really about TYM specifically. I understand that I'm supposed to only use homophobic slurs on stream chats, that's fine. I just have a problem with people saying we have to pretend we like everyone in general. I don't really hate anyone but I still like seeing heated rivalries and stuff because it's fun and keeps things entertaining. Most people sort of like it lol. As far as forum stuff goes, I don't think it's out of line to call someone an idiot when it comes to discussion about the game. I agree you shouldn't take it too far, but people are wanting to push the line back too far to censor like normal arguments and prevent people from critiquing one another when that's a part of every competitive scene.

Imo the drama for let's say Pl vs reo at evo. Jr vs Pl and others is cool. There's a line that many cross that's an issue imo and drama does bring hype but it depends what kinda drama it is I guess and that's something for all staff to figure out and users to follow. I have a pretty thick skin and really in game drama is hype butt there's a line imo. I hope we see stuff like call outs etc but keep it in a respectful way let's not say someone is a loser in real life as that's not drama that's just crossing that line and discourages new users from wanting to post anything .

Example: I play injustice and I main catwomen and say "she can destroy superman and batman" kdz and arma respond call me an idiot that doesn't leave my back yard and a loser in real life etc..." how does that seem welcoming to all the new users mkx are going to bring here? But I do feel u certain drama is needed and as @9.95 said before being this is a site that's about mk mods aren't going to go ape and do infractions for everything but they have a job and also want to see the site grow at the current time imo it can't grow. If someone gets injustice for Xmas the way things have been go online and find this site do u think they will feel welcome with all the back and forth at times? As much as many love competitive nature at the end of the day the casuals and online community buy these games more then any of us that go to events offline. To discredit all of Em like nothing is counter productive as they are the ones that keep these games alive in sales and lbsh that's more important to wb .

I look forward to what @GGA Dizzy posts later if he still does it.

This thread is reminding me of an Adventure Time episode where they're singing the song and all of a sudden...
