hmmm, let me say again - my opinion about Nili is that he's honest. But it is just that - an opinion. I didn't say Nili was corrupt or there is a scandal going on, but the current arrangement does increase the risk of a scandal. My point was about having a system that prevents quid pro quos and...
AFAIK it is part of his job as a MS employee. So far Nili hasn't clarified and now with a lot of ppl anxious abt the future of the game due to recent developments, now would be a good time for him to do that. Not just his role in aoe2 but in the aoe franchise as a whole.
There are a lot of...
If a scandal were to occur in a small community, viewers will move on to something else and the influx of new pro players will dry up which they will see as a system rigged to benefit a few.
Like i said, the question is not about whether Nili would make professional and fair decisions in these scenarios, but why risk destroying the community based on one person's integrity.
Also, these scenarios are not hypothetical.
Scenario 1: There's an empire wars tournament and a death match tournament and its Nili's job to divide funds between the two. We know Nili is better as a player in one format than the other.
Scenario 2: There's a tournament hosted by Viper and another by Memb. One is a close personal friend of...
Agree and disagree.
Disagree: I don't begrudge T90 or Viper for doing what's best for them. But the community's also gotta do what's best for it. FB always has a clause written into the contract of streamers where they have the option to cancel a contract (after a nice severance pay ofc) if...
No, why would I? I personally like Nili a lot - he's level-headed, self critical and fair. There are other personal reasons too. Regardless, too much power concentrated in one person always ends badly. It should not even be controversial to say that.
I mentioned this before in another thread but Nili, despite his reputation for fairness, has his hand in one too many cookie jars. Too much power concentrated in the hands of one person with lots of potential conflict of interests. Remember, he was the one who advised Red Bull on how to deisgn a...
*** Just ignore this thread as the point has already be discussed ***
I find a lot of people's "sellout" takes insincere and hollow, as if they themselves would say no to forever financial security. He built the community and now he's reaping the benefits. Fair compensation. The exploitative US...
He will make a lot of money and once the contract ends he will come back. His absence will allow more room for other talented AoE streamers to shine and grow their audience - Dave, Ornlu, lidakor, monnfaller plus players. Everyone wins.
But downside could be his future tournaments not getting...
