SEN wasn't hosting an illegal contest, shocko was. As soon as it was brought to the attention of SEN (and a few days after that) shocko rescinded his original offer, and if he hadn't SEN would have.
I think that we all can carry formal debates everywhere without getting angry. I think that some SD rules don't only make sense in SD; they can apply to anywhere.
Not trying to be a douche but picking fights with Veterans is usually not a good idea... though I'm not saying you can't make a point, you should at least try to take a formal approach rather than letting your temper get the better of you, my friend
This was the entire quote, you can't just take things out of context and expect it to make entire sense. I was saying it for HIS BENEFIT. SEN has a short temper. So yes, if giving his POV involves (arguably) unnecessary harsh words, then I AM suggesting he will be banned/given severity/suspended (if not immediately).
Here's what I see at skin-deep level:
1. A guy promises a beta-key to a bunch of people for a map making contest. A bunch of people sign up, working hard on their maps in order to try and win the prize. Half way through, he takes the prize away.
2. He lies about it. Not only does he take the key away, but he doesn't even explain himself or try to justify his actions, he just vaguely states mental sickness in a sly attempt that sympathy for his condition would outweigh everyones anger at him for taking the key away. Surprisingly enough, it actually worked too.
1. This is a fact and is undebatable.
2. Assuming he is lying, what reason could he have for lying? He could only be doing a few things: he could just not want to relinquish his key (but that would defeat the purpose of making the contest in the first place), he could be simply lying because he can't/doesn't want to explain what is wrong because it is severe enough, or lastly trying to get people stirred up and producing maps. All of these are completely legitimate reasons (except the first which is a contradictory piece).
I await your rebuttal Shocko sympathizers
Very condescending and pointless. I give you the same advice I gave to Jenkins. If you aren't careful you are gonna get a sword shoved up your ass. I am not threatening you, I am simply helping you adjust to SC's strict "quality requirements" for posts.
