  1. He deserves that! He is a war hero after all
  2. Warms my cynical and depressed heart ❤
  3. I know I had a massive 2 month skid and I'm basically in the process of leaving the game... but I want to shamelessly at least give myself an honorable mention 🤣🤣 It was my goal at the start of the year and I got up to rank 20 before a shitload of IRL shit happened lol
  4. I'm someone that has a private gym and uses public gyms. My private gym is slightly geared toward grappling. I can train several fighters in tds, subs, and def grap easy. But I can only train 2-3 fighters in stand up skills. So if I have someone that needs to focus on standup, I'll put them in a public gym that has a lot of space for training punches, strike def, kicks, etc. Then I'll alternate which fighters I have where so I can keep my fighters involved in sparring in my private gym and hold my space in the public gyms. I'm wondering if anyone else does anything similar to this?
  5. I honestly don't see any downside to this. This is absolutely something Mike should implement and it would big improvement for public gyms. You'd be able to have a large gym that has the advantage of a small gym. And it would formalize a system that is already basically in effect in the quality public gyms.
  6. One change that could incentivize public gyms, and this is going to be very unpopular, but is to *slightly* nerf private gyms. The problem now is that you can satisfy all of your needs in a private gym. So your fighters can just be anti-social assholes, never have to leave home, and never meet new people. But the main thing is public gyms need to become a lot more viable, and as others have pointed out, get rid of the VIP penalty for public gyms. Nobody cares how much monopoly money you make or lose running a gym, but if people are losing real $, why the fuck are you going to open up essentially a charity gym.
  7. Exactly this. If one guy is single handedly breaking the game's economy by glitching in so much money it's risking rolling a 32 bit integer, then that should be addressed ASAP. And then, when it is finally addressed months, if not years, after it becomes a problem. The devs/PR (in this case Mike) need to address the player base so it doesn't become a drama filled shitshow with everyone interrogating each other.
  8. So Chuck isn't only a (former) alliance mate to me, but I also co-owned CWC with him. I'm very careful to consider people on the internet "friends" so I wouldn't consider Chuck a "friend" per se, but he was definitely someone I appreciated having the opportunity to work with and he's been incredibly supportive of me as well. So in terms of Chuck, he's cheated and he's done considerable harm to the game's economy. I hate having to admit that, but it's true. In the KBW discord Chuck even admitted to his wrongdoings himself and apogized to us. I don't care what people's opinion of Chuck is, I'm not here to defend his mistakes, but I really do hope he comes back. And I think anyone who wants him outright banned is being overzealous and going to far. As for the stuff with Kishion. I haven't had any prominent experience with him for better of worse. Pretty sure he's had guys in CWC that I've booked and I used to have guys in Alpha 1. No drama, no complaints in either of those scenarios. I think I have a relatively unbiased view when it comes to Kishion, but of course, I have picked up whatever biases I've seen reading through these threads. I don't know what his motivations were, I don't know what his mindset was, and I don't know what his thought process was when turning in all this evidence against Chuck, and none of the rest of us do. We can only infer his motivations. That said, in this situation I think his intentions are irrelevant. Chuck had an created an unfair advantage for himself and a competitor sought to alleviate that unfair scenario. He didn't do anything wrong turning Chuck in and if his story about the money Chuck sent him is true then we're just splitting hairs at this point by arguing over what he did with it. If he's lying, which is possible but I haven't seen evidence that he is, then that's a different can of worms. Someone who does deserve criticism in this scenario imo is Mike. He communicated with Chuck poorly through all of this and now he's basically letting Kishion become the face of this scandal. I suppose it is probably healthy to let people get all these thoughts out. But when one of the most prominent members of the community has this level of scandal happen, he should provide some level of explanation himself. Instead, we have the whistle-blower having to explain and defend his actions for everyone to critique. I'm not going to defend either Chuck nor Kishion, but I do think the position Kishion is in isn't fair to him, regardless of his motivations for snitching/whistleblowing/whatever you want to call it. I'll end this on something I do think is important. To Kishion, one thing I will say from one clinically depressed person to another: nothing good will come of using your depression/anxiety as a shield from criticism. It's a form of self inhibition. If you're at a point where you're feeling overwhelmed, but worried you're looking like you're avoiding the conversation, just explain that you're not in a mental state where you feel like talking about it. I'll have your back on this one. And to people criticizing Kishion: I'm not going to weigh in on the merits of the criticis, but if he's going through a lot in his personal life right, don't dismiss his mental well being on the basis of him doing something you disagree with. That shit needs to stop.
