Does KI have the worst behaving pros?

In this scenario, it’s sorta dumb to be defending himself instead of just issuing a public apology, like he should have done months ago. It’s really not a big deal, I just like explaining the broader implications of their behavior.

He deleted the original accusation to protect his rep, for whatever reason, as if there was some sort of reputation to uphold. It does live on in quotes throughout, however. You can also probably dig up some of it on Twitter, cuz he ran to tattle to Brandon as if Brandon were Bass’ boss or something.

Let’s pretend Bass works in a market. Vlad approached Bass and asked for directions to the berries. Bass gave precise directions to the berries, and provided some extra info by letting Vlad know that berries were on sale this week, buy one get one free. Vlad then asked for directions to the nearest Taco Bell. Bass gave those directions as well, sure, no harm in that. Then Vlad asks why the sky is blue. Bass stammers, and can’t keep the annoyance out of his voice. Vlad stares at him, wide eyed, tapping his foot. Bass is obviously annoyed, and Vlad has picked up on it. After the conversation, Vlad is so upset at the annoyance in Bass’ voice that he gets on the PA and announces to the store that Bass is stealing. Then, he goes hunting around the store until he finds Bass’ department manager to let the manager know that Bass’ got annoyed at the drawn out series of irrelevant questions.

The Vlad scenario was actually months ago, but it really stood out to me. I dunno why, none of this means anything in the long run, and in ten years when the servers are no longer kept we’ll all be playing something else, if we still play FG’s at all.

The FreddyMac/Toneri thing was Toneri laughing it off on Twitter, no harm no foul because the accuser is generally accepted to be a scrub of the utmost and a bloody idiot.

The Vlad/Bass thing was at least two separate instances of open accusation and weak campaign against a players behavior. Why the general wisdom isn’t just “ignore this one too” is sorta beyond me, but insofar as I can see the only difference between Vlad and FreddyMac is one posts on the forums.

It is interesting to note that if you compare our scrubs to the scrubs of any other microcosm of the FGC (SRK or Dustloop, for example), we have some next-level scrubs. Like gamma-powered fire-breathing hulkamania scrubs. Our scrubs blew out the bottom of the barrel of the FGC, and tunneled thru concrete, dirt, bedrock, and eventually the water table itself to achieve their epic scrubdom. They are truly a sight to behold.

I have never beheld a group so absolutely dedicated to NOT improving.
