Anyways, it's nice to see that you recognized your mistake and are willing to make up with the guy you took the seats from. It's a nice gesture. :p | ||

(The rest is directed towards OP) Hyperbole? Sure maybe in the comments but the opening post seems factual to me. You may forgive it now, but you said yourself you behaved incorrectly because of frustration. In other words you admitted guilt. Guess what, we all get frustrated, doesn't exempt you from the rules. Its fine to apologize for acting out of line, but dont criticize reddit or say you're disappointed in hyperbole. 1/4th of your post was an apology, 1/2 of it was you trying to redeem yourself, justify your actions and make underhanded attacks. The rest of the post was comic relief. If you're gonna apologize, man up an apologize. Don't make subtle remarks like I wish you would have had the courage to actually say what you thought about me to my face rather than wait until you got home to write something behind your computer screen, but that's ok. | ||

You guys are great and show how big SC2 is <3 everyone. and gets immediately downvoted to -21... The reply is go fuck yourself, fuckface. And that gets upvotes... How can you not be disappointed? | ||

If I were the contest winner, I would have kicked you in the ball right then. This isnt a troll post, he won those seats and they were his to help him enjoy the event. He didn't say to the contest's winner, "I earned this through years of hard work". That's a misunderstanding created from the backlash. Anyways, if I was contest winner, I would have made it damn clear that those were my seats and how I earned them. The whole situation just sounds like a bunch of agitated people not being able to communicate with each other. | ||

I thought this was an apology thread? Not some PR spin. Look, I'm not part of the 'reddit' community or whatever, and am certainly not advocating for them. I read the OP and flags of every PR spin in the book went off. Shifting blame, martyrdom, victimizing himself, subtle attacks to the messenger (lol wtf?). Just his way of doing damage control. Like I said, this is an apology thread in which only 1/4 of it was an actual apology. | ||

This is completely understandable and expected in this post. People wanted to hear his side of the story. | ||

Unfortunate series of misunderstandings really. Mlg needs to give these contest winners a special pass maybe. Edit: I remember the guy said "I've been sitting in that seat all day. I had my stuff on there." to explain himself. How are we supposed to interpret this? | ||

How are we supposed to interpret this? I can't believe I didn't see my favorite player sitting there, you must have been so close that I could have touched you or something :-) I don't want to start a flame war, but he did talk at length with Xeris, and definitely explained he won a contest to get the seats. Especially after going to get the MLG staff member. | ||

Reading KawaiiRice's post just affirmed the situation I pictured. There is an onus on whoever is in charge of the contest to make the winnings as official as possible. Not having specific tags/badges/etc. was a big part of the problem. It's also strange how the MLG staff wasn't made aware of the VIP seat winners. Not very well planned. | ||
