Yungmonster wins Kombat Cup Season 2, Week 7

Shadow316

You inspire no fear.
It seems as though the people that want the winner in the title only care when it's not Sonic Fox. Most of you only opened it because Sonic didn't win.

I don't really understand the people that won't bother opening the thread if the winner isn't in the title, I guess you can't care about the tournament that much then, right?

My point is different it seems normal to me to avoid going there If I haven t finished the current game. I'm not going to try to force them to do like I want I'll follow the rules they have set and just avoid the place. The same thing apply with TYM it was decided that spoilers have their place here and that the majority of people want them( See the backlash in the Jynks incident). It's not right to expect a forum to bend other to your taste and ignore what the majority of the members of the forum want.
Someone could spoil the entirety of a story, TV show, or what have you for me and I'd still be able to appreciate it. It's just that I'd forever have lost the magic of discovering it for myself. Uncertainty is the most exciting part of anything.

Surely that can be recognized and respected.

Let's stop keeping this discussion since it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread all I'm saying is that trying to force your view(spoilerless title) is bad when the majority doesn't want that

I mean... I assumed we were having an intelligent, mannerly debate about spoilers in thread titles.

I'm not trying to "force my view". I'm not in a position to force anything. I'm in a position to ask, which is what I'm doing by providing rhetorical appeal for what I want to happen.

@Yungmonster won & congrats to him. He won Impressively I might add and it looks like mkx is still alive and kicking.

So here are you guys talking about spoilers.

Spoilers.

Some of you are too soft. I wouldn't have even been interested not cared at all about it if it wasn't in the title knowing it's mostly sonic who wins. Someone different won and he posts here regular and won. That's really something to talk about. Just seeing how he won and watching it yesterday on YouTube shows us the dude is a legit savage.

And yall talking about Spoilers in titles.

Smh. It's about Yungmunstah and yall shinning light on some dumb shit

This hasn't been a discussion for my entire time on tym, why are you kids crying in mkx? Give props where props or due, or simply don't go to a NRS COMPETITIVE NEWS SITE if you don't want NRS COMPETITIVE NEWS

Send an email to every sport on the planet to stop announcing who wins the next day in news outlets and articles while you are at it please, do that for me

I love how this forum is so popular that its mods' response to the few people who do still give a flying fuck about this game, its weeklies, and their results is to just not come here lul.

And just to be clear, I am not one of those few. Spoil away all you want, idgaf. But I do have to agree that the "logic" behind it is dumb af. "You people who care about the tournaments need to gtfo, we're busy trying to get the attention of the people who don't give a shit any more!"

And can we stop comparing a weekly that gets 52 viewers to sports that get 5.2 million? Shrink the e-peens a little there, guys. You're isolating your very tiny fan base for literally no reason but more clicks from even less people lol.

Some of us are busy and can't catch everything live.
I wouldn't want spoilers in the title of a TV show when I'm trying to catch the rerun, you know?
Indeed. But this is a recap thread. Where they recap what happened.

But if you REALLY cared, you'd look up vids on yt before coming to the site because you know they do this lol so chillax
 
If youre logic is "dont complain if you see spoilers coming here" then dont complain when you put spoilers and people complain about it. If you expect them suck up, then suck up yourself. Dont try to argue with logic because at the end of the day, every website that posts spoilers has complaints. And dont compare to other websites because some of them hide spoilers and some dont. Its just a preference. However, nobody complains if you hide the spoiler, so idk where the stubbornness comes from.

I'll explain this one more time as clearly as possible.

Kombat Cup has been losing interest here quite dramatically lately, and a big reason for that is that people assume that it would have just been Sonic, Scar or Dragon who won, and so they are not concerned with opening a results thread just to see what they expected.

When someone unexpected wins, posting this in the title gains the attention of people who still care about the game, but don't care for seeing the same thing over and over again.

This means, that next week, instead of thinking "nah, I can't be bothered to watch KC tonight just to see the same thing again" they'll think "shit, last week someone surprising won, maybe I should check it out".

There is already evidence, in this thread, that this strategy has worked.

Also, the complaints are coming from people who haven't commented in or liked any of the previous week's KC results threads, so I am finding it difficult to believe that these are avid followers with a passion for the tournament who watch every week without fail.

This is the last time I will be commenting on this matter, any responses to this will be ignored.

Is everyone going to gloss over 24K comparing winners in the title of a result thread to North Korean levels of oppression?
I did gloss over it cause they were short novels but now that you spoiled that such a comparison was said I went back to find such a statement.

I guess spoilers really do make a difference for the greater good.

Since day one this has been something this site has done. The player won, and we want to give them 100% maximum amount of props possible. This includes having the front paged post having their name in the title. If you have a problem with that, that's fine, I don't care you can have has many problems about it as you want. But if you think for a second that we are going to change something that we have done for so damn long, you should prepare to get disappointed. Simple as that. If you have a problem with it, avoid this site if you REALLY don't want those spoilers. We aren't going to change something for the smallest minority, just not going to happen.

Nowhere in the topic title do I see "let's discuss how much spoilers piss us off", so why is the bulk of the conversation about that? It stops here. This goes for other mods as well. Points on the matter have been made and opinions have been shared. Want to continue it? Make a thread. Let's get back to discussing what the topic was made for.

I thought all the people who give a shit about this topic are supposed to stay off TYM to avoid spoilers though?

i believe the people that do nothing but complain are derailing the thread. Imo they should be infracted for starting the derail.

My thirst for knowledge cannot be quenched
To be honest,i think the title thing is good ( at least for the lazy people like me ) because for example when sonicfox wins ( most of the people from tym community are used to it, cmon lets be honest ) and is emphasized on the title i dont look at the thread but when another one wins i get curious and take a look at the details, why do you guys arent considerate and grateful for it, i dont understand
