As a translator or a writer, I think taking into considerationg the possibility of not being liked by everyone as a possible outcome. Yes, that may be shitty, but if it means so much more to give back to the community, one can ignore all the negatives and look at the positives.

Milkis has been doing this for a long time, and he deserves a break, cool your head and come back to us soon!

This is weird. You make a post on Reddit claiming that BW is the only esport, and after getting called out on it you decide to quit the community? http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/lstnm/as_promised_my_very_elitist_description_of_brood/

I don't know why you're making a big fuss out of people saying you're nervous while on-stage, when you yourself have *said* on stage that you're nervous. Furthermore, the community has been overwhelmingly good to you. There was only one "hate milkis translating" reply in the reddit thread you made, but there was only one, and it was actually downvoted very deep.

I don't know if this is just fishing for compliments or just super thin skin. This is the internet for crying out loud.

This is pretty disappointing. You should've known that a polarized statement will be met with polarized response. That's just the way it works.

W/e. Thanks for all the work you've done. You've done more in the few months you've been here more than the majority of us have ever done.

Milkis. I love you man! I have never criticized your translation or opinions. I value the service you have done for us and I desperately hope you continue to be a part of our community as you are a very valuable member to us. You've done far more than I ever could and for that thank you!

It's absolutely possible to remove shit posts and shit posters. This isn't about having negative opinions or any other kind of opinions. This is about coming into this thread and literally calling Milkis a "crybaby", "drama queen" or an equivalent, which is a post Milkis should NEVER EVER have to read on TL of all places.
.


Can I ask why he shouldn't have to read it? It's valid criticism. In fact valid criticism is why he's rage quitting everything.


You can ask, but after reading the rest of your post I don't think responding to everything in it is worth my time.

I'm only going to say this: calling somebody a drama queen / crybaby and claiming he's doing it for attention is not criticism. It most certainly isn't valid criticism. And it is especially not your place to give that kind of so-called "criticism" to somebody who is a long standing contributor and member of the community, nor is he obligated to endure such "criticism".

In fact I'd say that TL in general having to endure you giving such criticism is not a good thing. But who asks me, right. -_-

Well... anyone who can speak both languages would seem a safe bet.

To be fair, translating accurately and quickly is difficult. Milkis was one of, if not, the best.


I disagree with him beeing the best translator, smix and lilsue did at least as good as a job in IPL3 as he does at mlg if not better, and they are considerably less akward.

you've gotta be fucking kidding me. like seriously? seriously?

you know i've never been the biggest fan of you but i'd appreciated the fact that you were working hard for TL. but to leave in such an abrupt fashion and then make such a big deal about it? i mean in all honesty it just looks like you want us to pity you and beg for you back. if you were really through with it then you wouldn't have said shit and just left. i have absolutely zero pity for people who pull this shit. and this applies to all people ranging from the guy with 10 posts to someone like nevergg.

lol whatever. i'll probably see you back in a few months anyways.

Milkis makes his claim that the only espot is BW, but then he takes the time to clarify what he means with several more paragraphs. He clearly means, he sees 'esport' as something that can lure people in without any prior knowledge.. people just enjoying the spectacle of it.

Isn't he just stating a fact? It's not like he's saying BW is the only competitive game that ever existed.



No. He's defining a word in a way most people don't use it and then making a statement based on that definition.

That was the entire problem. His definition of "eSports" is basically my (and a lot of other people's) definition of "spectator sport." I mean, just talking about regular ol' sports, there are a shit ton of sports out there that aren't very popular to spectate unless you're actually involved or a relative of someone who's involved. Just take something like kendo, for instance.

I don't want to sound harsh, but this is ridiculous. I'll probably have someone more to say later, but that's my overwhelming reaction to all of this.

I dunno Milkis, you were simply asking for it by posting what you posted on reddit. Maybe you were completely blindsighted while you were writing it, but you had it coming the moment you posted it. If you could not foresee how and why what you were writing might illicit sharp backlash, then that is your fault from beginning to end. You've been making this mistake ever since you started working on SC2 related things. You began to speak far too much with a sometimes vague but noticeable air of authority. Clearly opinionated but with a guise of something else (ie. a translator).

Honestly man, if you are going to start saying these things then you need to be completely aware that you are opening yourself to criticism from all angles, and in this particular case the genesis of the backlash was justifiable. How the backlash has been expressed is not justifiable in a lot of the cases, and djwheat's jab at you is just hilarious considering how he was basically out to get you along with the EG manager at that debacle of a "debate" sometime back.

You really need to toughen up. I don't like saying this most of the time because a lot of the time these problems are not the problem of the individual but this time.... it really was your fault. Not only that, but the way you have responded to it was maybe the worst way you could have reacted to it.

Stop acting like a child.

To be honest, he's probably one of the worst translators i have witnessed. People need to stop giving him false praise.

Indeed...

What has TL become after SC2? This is insane. While the TL crew improved in every aspect (now TL has even a sponsored pro team!), the community quality has dropped deep in the well...

what is going on?

Kind of a shame, but I suppose Milkis outlasted his welcome in the scene. Best of luck to him in the future.

One more thing in addition to my earlier post-- I think you need to realize how ugly that statement is. Maybe you just don't care about all of this:

Yeah, there are some people hating on you. And there are also a shitton of people who like you and appreciate your work who you shit on by acting like they don't exist.
